As a (not very popular) youtuber myself I support this. And you should too.
She can make some serious cash. My channel isn't very popular at all and it generates a couple hundred bucks a year just being there. |

Not to mention comment sections. Youtube can be almost as bad as 4chan for trolls. People may come upon her videos and be incredibly ugly in the comment sections. I don't know if you can disable them or not, but if you can't then I would think really hard about what people's trolling comments can do to an 11 year old self-esteem. I would encourage the hobby but find another outlet for it. I have to get on my son all the time about getting on youtube without permission. He is 9 and doesn't understand that there is some highly inappropriate stuff on there for a kid his age. Much of it is wrapped up to be kid friendly and is far from it. |

Properly handled, it would be an excellent learning experience for her, and possibly the foundation for a very lucrative profession.
You and your wife could spend your final years in a luxurious home with servants rather than in a nursing facility. |

Sounds like what your daughters doing is pretty harmless. When she starts posting herself and dancing in front of the camera, then its time for a talk and some parental controls. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why does your 11 year old need a cell phone? We didn't get my son one until he got a job. He's 16 and works at a pizzeria. He too makes YouTube videos but my wife and I just kind of let him do his thing. My 11 and 12 year old daughters have cell phones for when they are involved in after school activities. It's not like you can give a kid a few quarters and tell her to use a pay phone anymore. OP, I agree with the other posters about getting involved and encouraging her creative side. |

Found out tonight that my (almost 11 year old) daughter has a YouTube channel and has been posting videos online for about a month now. She has been making video with her cell phone camera for several months now and she's been asking me if she can post them on YouTube. Apparently she figured out how to do it herself. They are mostly short 5 to 10 minute long skits using her My Little Ponies or Littlest Pet Shop toys, or reviews of the new toys that she has bought, and a couple of cat videos. A few of them are pretty creative, she even used her mom and grandma's phones to shoot B and C-roll footage to use as a news broadcast in the main video. 
I know that she has been interested in making short movies for a while and has been asking me to get her a video editing program. She needs a new laptop to run it though. I guess I'll have to get on that. Not sure how I feel about this whole uploading stuff to YouTube without my permission though. 
And no, I'm not posting any links to her channel for you pervs.  What no Shopkins? Pffft.

At the very least you should Subscribe to her channel and set all the reminders and emails about it (so you know what is going on with not much effort.)
Realize though, that Youtube comments are something closer to a non-x-rated version of /b/chan than it is GD. It takes a certain maturity and callousness to deal with it properly. Sooner or later somebody is going to post a bunch of bullshit personal attacks on her, and she needs to be mature enough to handle it. |

For what it's worth, I would screen the videos and make sure that there aren't any noticeable locations in them.
I had a call the other day where the complainant was the father of a youtube 'star' who is like 14. A guy from France had flown to ATL, taken the train / bus north, and walked the rest of the way (he said eight miles) to his home in a gated community. The guy was walking around the house taking pictures and looking around like it was a tourist attraction. After talking with the creepy Frenchman, he found the house in one of the videos, did a google image search, and found the listing of the home when it was for sale. Just sayin', lots of creepy dedicated people out there. |

You link a bank account (or perhaps they allow paypal or something) and you get regular payouts there. I'm pretty sure it defaults to sending a payment if you pass $100. As far as how to sign up, back when I did it, it was an invite only thing. You had to have enough videos with enough traffic to make it a worthwhile venture. My channel is small in comparison to some of the big ones, take jacksepticeye as an example. He's got 6,772,158 subscribers • 2,759,777,438 views. Me: 124 subscribers • 583,169 views
That said, I'm pretty sure anyone with an account in good standing can apply to the youtube partner program and monetize their videos now. If it interests you, I'd start by researching that a bit. The youtube help files (and google adsense ones) are actually pretty informative. |

Then be clever about how you "discover" things when they are engaging in potentially dangerous behavior. My stepdaughter never could figure out my uncanny "instinct" for catching her when she acted in a risky manner. Even a well behaved angel should be briefly checked on once in a while. Surprisingly enough the boys (who I EXPECTED to screw up) pretty much behaved. You never know which ones will stumble off the reservation sometimes. |

In today's day and age a parent MUST monitor their children's internet usage, no matter what it takes.
When our kids were home we had one computer. I didn't restrict any web pages or anything, but that thing had so many keyloggers and event notifiers on it they couldn't do anything without me finding out. Then I would have a discussion with the offender if I needed to. It's not an invasion of privacy, it's all about protecting your little idiots from themselves. The stuff I found on the computer carried jail sentences. If you don't think your special snowflake is doing things like that, you need to take the blinders off. They have no sense, just like we didn't, when they are young. |

My daughter got one when she was 11 as well. She did ask permission, and we keep a close eye on the account.
She just makes stupid videos of herself reviewing various things, and sometimes she makes music videos with our dog. Its all very harmless but the key is to have control over the account so you can always see what is going on. |

I would take active interest in that and ask her to let you review each upload.
Nothing wrong with having a channel and generating some traffic, but you need to make sure she isn't doing foolish things like giving out full names, or addresses, or have anything that might contain sensitive info on papers in the video. Some of those youtubers go on to make excellent short films, she could be one of them. |

God, not without a sense of humor, has seen fit to give me a girl for my first born due February 2016. Good luck op. I'm in for the same thing my daughter is only three months.... My wife was posting videos in similar manner. She would sing songs, read poetry, or film pets to a soundtrack. A couple got viewed enough for youtube to take notice and offer cash. She was suspect though and told me that some people where trolls in the comments. I'm just hoping our daughter will find interest in something more techincal or violent. |

Explain how the monetization of YouTube works. I know it's all based on number of clicks and advertising views, but how do they trasnfer the cash to the person uploading the videos? Do you have to link a bank account with your YouTube account? Is there some setting that needs to be enabled to do it? She has a grand total of 9 subscribers to her channel. Quote HistoryQuoted:

As a (not very popular) youtuber myself I support this. And you should too. She can make some serious cash. My channel isn't very popular at all and it generates a couple hundred bucks a year just being there. Explain how the monetization of YouTube works.

Stranger things have happened. FYI. My kid loves watching toy reviews and other kids playing with toys on YouTube and has watched the same videos multiple times. Too bad your little girl doesn't like monster trucks or Godzilla. |

My 8 year olds found my "ancient" Flip video recorder a few weeks ago and have made a few Lego movies. I have thought about making a YouTube channel for them because the love watching similar videos. I've been using iMovie to exit them, but may look into FC soon. I think it's a good creative outlet for them.

I recommend Vegas Movie studio.
And make sure she monetizes those youtube videos, so she can buy a video camera. :D |

Probably been mentioned, but I believe you have to be 13 to have a youtube account.
