Super Thanks lets viewers tip on a regular video, not only during a live stream. The feature sits under the player, and a viewer picks an amount to send a highlighted comment with a small animation.
Setting it up takes minutes in YouTube Studio, and once it is on, every video becomes a place where support can land. That turns your back catalog into a slow, steady source of income that keeps working after the upload date.
Open the monetization settings for your channel and look for the Super Thanks option. Enable it, confirm your payment details, and the feature appears on eligible videos automatically.
Videos need to meet the standard monetization requirements. If your channel is already approved for ads, Super Thanks usually follows without a second review or a fresh application.
Most viewers never notice the icon on their own. A single sentence in your outro, or a pinned comment, tells them the option is there waiting.
Keep the reminder calm and place it after the value. People tip when they feel they already got something, not when they are asked before the payoff arrives.
A Super Thanks comment shows up highlighted near the top of your comments, with the amount attached. That placement means supporters get visible credit, which encourages repeat gifts over time.
Reply to these comments when you can. A reply under a paid comment signals that you read them, and that signal carries into the next video you publish.
A back catalog with Super Thanks turned on keeps earning long after the upload date, which is more than most creators expect from an old video.
Add the reminder to your standard outro and stop thinking about it. Consistency beats a loud pitch, and viewers learn where the option lives without being told twice.
Track which videos earn the most over the coming months. Those results tell you what your audience values, and that knowledge shapes better uploads down the line.
