2nd Time: How to Apply for YouTube Partner Again

"This feature is currently not available in your country. Learn more."
"Every time I try to apply for YouTube Partner it doesn't let me"
"I can't apply for YouTube Partner"
"I already applied for partner but I got denied."
"YouTube monetization not working"
"monetization not available in your country"

YouTube Partnership is now available in over 30 countries with it's membership growing every year. This is a good thing, especially for those of us who reside in the Philippines (it's available here). But for some of us it's been more of a pain. It's possible to apply for partner once, twice and even three times (even if you get denied) but how do you do it?  Here's how. . .

If your applying for YouTube Partner for the first time: (steps)

1. Visit YouTube.com/Partner
2. Click on "Get Started"
! If it takes you to a Monetization page in your channel settings with an error message that says "This feature is currently not available in your country." and you know it is, you've either already applied (at least once) or you selected the incorrect country in your About section of your channel profile.
3. Fill out the application form and submit it.


If you are applying for YouTube Partner for a second time:

1. Visit YouTube.com/Partner
2. Scroll down to the Qualifications section and click on "form here" in the following sentence: "If you represent a company and would rather submit your information before enabling monetization, please fill out the optional form here."
! You may only apply once every 2 months.

Visiting - Amiya Resort Residences in Davao City, Philippines

I'm telling Chris to be quiet since I'm meditating in one of their meditation gardens.

Amiya Restort Residences is another beautiful subdivision. It's located in Puan near our old two-storey rental (the one in Solariega). It has a lot of amenities including a  basketball court, fitness gym, club house, restaurant, fishing pond, putt-putt golf, parks, commercial areas and a meditation garden. Or as Chris would say, "it has the whole shebang".

Here are two of their model houses:

Here is the Cafe Lagoon (under construction):

Visiting: Twin Palms in Davao City, Philippines

Chris and I had the pleasure of visiting Twin Palms with our friends Armin and Chai Chai and as always it was initiated by Chris's love for homes, houses and buildings.

Kisan Lu's homes and Davao City subdivisions in general usually carry a theme, in this case it's Balinese. The subdivision is a tiny one so there are not a ton of amenities (i.e. it doesn't have a gym), but it will have a swimming pool and a commercial strip facing the front.

In it's present state, Twin Palms is one of our favorite subdivisions. The houses are obviously beautiful but the location is even better. Stay tuned for Amiya Resort Residence, we're going on another real estate trip!

How to See Uploads Only on Youtube in the Latest Version (2012 - 2013)

It's October of 2012 and YouTube just made a massive update. The subscriptions feed is different and the "Uploads Only" feature is completely gone. . . but . . .  

Oops, I found it again! :)

Step 1:
- Login to your YouTube account

Step 2:
- Click on "Manage subscriptions" on the bottom left hand side of the page.

Step 3:
YouTube combined uploads, likes, comments, favorites and everything else from your subscriptions into a single feed. Continue reading to learn how to hide the likes, favorites and comments on your "My subscriptions" page.

- Check the box in the left hand corner of your subscriptions (this will check everything on that specific page).

Step 4:

- Left click on the drop-down menu (the upside down triangle) and select "Show uploads only in feed".

Step 5:

- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on page two (if you have a lot of subscriptions). 

Step 6:
- Repeat steps 3 through 6 until you're done converting your subscription list to a "Show uploads only in feed" list.

And your done... please share this post if it helps <3

How to View the Uploads from Your Subscriptions:
- Click on "My subscriptions in the left hand side of the page" to view your subscriptions (it will only display uploads if you finished steps 1 through 6):

YouTube's new interface is glitchy.
a. If you check the box shown in step 3 without scrolling to the bottom of the page, 20 to 25 boxes will remained unchecked. So make sure to scroll all the way down when following step 3.
b. Some of the likes, favorites and comments will continue showing until YouTube gets it's act together. But fear not, this is how you do it :)

UPDATE: October 26th, 2012
The likes, comments and favorites that I see in "My subscriptions" (after following steps 1 through 6) are from people who I subscribed to, but they are not showing up in my "Manage subscription" control panel. So that's where the the glitch is, YouTube's "Manage subscription" lists are incomplete so it's impossible to choose "Show uploads only in feed" for each and every subscription.
