YouTube Partner Program Now Open to the General Public
Filed Under Money & Marketing, Video Sharing Sites
YouTube recently announced that they were opening their advertising “Partner Program” up to the general public. The program is currently open to those from the U.S. and Canada with international implementation coming “soon.”
YouTube says the following about what a “partner” is:
These partners decide which of their videos they would like to generate revenue on YouTube, and in turn, they receive a portion of the revenue generated from ads that run next to those videos.
I notice that they say “from ads that run next to those videos.” I assume this means that the ads that actually show up on top of the videos are not included.
According to YouTube, to become a partner, you should meet the following criteria:
- You create original videos suitable for online streaming.
- You own the copyrights and distribution rights for all audio and video content that you upload — no exceptions.
- You regularly upload videos that are viewed by thousands of YouTube users.
- You live in the United States or Canada.
