HOW TO SET UP A YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR A CHILD HOW TO

The simplest thing for a parent to do is to create a YouTube Channel under their own name.

However, in some cases, the parent doesn't have a website or blog, or even a monetizable YouTube Channel, so in effect, there isn't any way for the parent to apply for Adsense for the minor.

Once the parent has an approved AdS ense account, it can be linked to your YouTube Channel. And the parent will also need to have a website, or blog ( ), or YouTube Channel (in their name, not in your name) to apply with. The parent needs their own Google Account/Email address in their name. The steps to sign up for an AdS ense account need to be taken separately by the parent. You also can't directly submit an application for AdSense with one of your own email accounts and put your parent's name on the application form. What you can't do is resubmit your application through your YouTube Channel by changing the email address from your own, to one of your parent's email addresses.

But don't explain exactly how to do that.

Instructions given in some areas simply tell the minor to have a parent sign up for them. This becomes a problem when the minor tries to sign up themselves and AdSense rejects their application. Minors under the age of 18 can't sign up for their own Adsense account, even if you can have your own YouTube Channel (YouTube's age requirement is 13 I believe). This is fast becoming one of the most prevalent questions we're seeing in the AdSense Help Forum, and most likely in the YouTube Help Forum as well.
