Yeaaaah, now we can make tonnes of money from videos we post on YouTube! … of course provided you have created and posted sexciting videos on YouTube and have a devoted following of online fans!
Up until now there’s been a distinction between the content you create and the content created by YouTube’s professional content partners. We want to start changing some of the perception here. Which is why we’re adding several of the most popular and prolific original content creators from the YouTube community to our partnership program.
Initial user participants have been selected from the content creators that you have helped popularize by watching their videos and subscribing to their channels. Because they have built and sustained large, persistent audiences through the creation of engaging videos, their content has become attractive for advertisers, which has helped them earn the opportunity to participate on YouTube as a partner.
Some of the lucky members who have been selected to participate in the revenue sharing program include Lonelygirl15, LisaNova, renetto, HappySlip, smosh, and valsartdiary. Remember Lonelygirl15 tops the 50 most important people on the Web list we covered a while ago?
In fact YouTube is not the first online video sharing website to start this initiative, a couple of other video sharing websites have offered it for quite some time including Metacafe and Revver. Just as some pro-bloggers have been able to turn their hobby into a rewarding full-time job, so will some the video posters who have created popular videos on YouTube! Now, let’s go make some exciting videos and hope we can make a living out of them! 🙂
