How do you sign up to monetize?

Hello Colin Bruce,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Advertising Learn Q&A Platform! My name is John, and I will be assisting you with this query.

Microsoft Monetize Now currently only supports entities registered within the United States and requires a US bank account for payment. Therefore, a business registered in the United States but operating in other countries can monetize their blog through Microsoft's Monetize Now ad network by meeting the requirements. In the sign-up process, you need to enter your payment country/territory. This should be where you currently live and can receive a Personal Identification Number (PIN) by post. This will help you get paid.

Microsoft Monetize Now can help you earn by showcasing text and image ads on your website. You'll get added control over a wide variety of design features and rich reporting data to better measure the success of your ads. Here are some of the ways Microsoft Monetize Now help you:
