Youtube Monetization Not Available In Your Country

As we all know today thousands maybe millions of users are not able to monetize their newly submitted videos. Now Google at the time of this post has not said anything, but they have told us that they are working on the issue. So I am going to go over things that you should be doing while this is going on and what you need to do when they get the issue fixed. 

What Is The Issue?

It is not your account it is an issue with the YouTube servers, and they are working to fix them. The issue is only applying to new monetized accounts within the last month. The reason is they must have had the server reset your account location and the default option is set for Afghanistan unfortunately you can't monetize in Afghanistan on the button to control this is going. So this will probably be fixed, and you will be required to change your account location after the issue is fixed.

How can I fix it

You can't fix the issue this is a glitch in their servers, and they are working on now well established accounts who are past 1-2 months of age should not have any issues with this. If you do go to the Google Product forums and wait for someone to send a ticket for you. You can send a ticket from your YouTube channel by going to the bottom and click on send feedback but don't spam it they are literally getting thousands of these reports. So please only send one in and provide a screen shot with the missing option.

What To Do In The Mean Time?

If you have a second YouTube channel you can upload those videos there and monetize them but if you don't you can try these ideas.

1. Get more social networking followers.
2. Work on or create a channel website. You should use blogger or Wordpress if you want a free one in the mean time.
3.  Create more videos and upload them all at once when you  get the option back.
4. Update social networking pages to keep them informed about the development.
5. Go onto the product forums and help. I have been on the forums for hours to help control the amount of people posting about the same issue.
