So my daughter (age 12) set up a YouTube channel posting Roblox “shorts” which are basically 30 second videos of her playing the game with text, music and pictures spliced in.
I have full access to the account and have turned off comments. She’s not allowed to speak on the videos and is absolutely forbidden from being in the videos herself or using her name/location etc. it’s all anonymous so I’m well on top of her online safety etc.
She spends hours on the videos making them and it seems great for her creativity.
Anyway, she’s now got over 2000 subscribers and a few of the videos have huge viewing numbers (one is over 300K!). No idea why, but these Roblox shorts are hugely popular with kids who play the game.
I’m now wondering whether I should monetise her account to put any earnings in her trust fund and how I go about doing it. I wonder if anyone with experience in that area can advise? Basically I need some steer on;
how you monetise a channel
How it all works (I.e. do advertisers just send money, how do you find advertisers or do they find you, do YouTube send money, do you pay tax, does it go into a bank account, how much are you likely to make etc???)
Are there copyright issues to worry about (e.g does she need permission/to pay for Roblox content, does she need permission from, say, the record label to use 10 seconds of an Ariana Grande song etc.?)
Will the online security I currently have on there be threatened in any way by monetising (e.g. will it expose location/IP address/phone details etc. In any way and/or will it allow comments on videos or direct messages from the weird public?)
Any help appreciated.
