Monetization under 18?

[Leah Victoria]

Hello internet!

So I just started my Youtube channel about a month ago, and immediately clicked monetize because who doesn't like money? I don't have enough views yet to actually make anything off of it, but upon looking at the terms and conditions I'm realizing there's a whole hell you have to go through before being able to use AdSense if you're under 18. Do any of you know what the protocol is here, or have experience with the same thing?

Thanks so much!!
<3, Leah

I think in those situations you need a parent to sign off on the account, or maybe have the account in their name. not 100% on that though lolz

Yep parrents need to sign off on the account. Google must follow CIPA and COPPA regulations the links below might help you some understand child protection acts in place. http://www.professionalprivacypolicy.com/resources.html

I have not reviewed the contents but it looks useful and has great links to other useful resources.

Also I just looked over the link above and it did not cover CIPA found here: http://www.fcc.gov/guides/childrens-internet-protection-act
