Brave Creators offers YouTubers a method to quickly monetize their YouTube Channels. This method does NOT require 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours. In this guide, we’ll cover how to verify your YouTube Channel with Brave Creators so you can start earning right away from your YouTube channel views.

How Does it Work?

Users of the Brave web browser earn Basic Attention Token (BAT) cryptocurrency for viewing adverts as they browse the web. Some of the BAT crypto they earn can then be automatically paid out to the content creators running the YouTube Channels and websites that they visit. Brave web browser users can also choose to manually tip BAT crypto to their favourite content creators.

All that you need to do is verify your YouTube Channel with Brave Creators in order to start earning BAT token.
