Youtube Partnerships for All!

 In a recent blog by YouTube Creator they announced that effective immediately (in selected countries) that partnership status is now granted after you successfully monetize one video. This is an amazing thing for small channels, in the past you needed to have a certain size (around 1k subscriptions) before partnership was offered.

What this means to you:
Basically, lets say you recorded a super hilarious video of your cat doing something like this.

Well now you could immediately create a new Youtube account, monetize the video and link it to your ad-sense. If your video went viral or was popular you would immediately reap the rewards of it.

The Bad News:
Unfortunately, the main perks to being a Youtube Partner were that you could add a banner to your channel, and most importantly select the thumbnail you wanted from your video. The Thumbnail is one of the most immortant parts of a video sadly, people do judge a book by its cover and all the new Youtube partners will be stuck with the old system for now, so the partnership is really like being a Youtube Partner-Lite.

All and all this is an amazing step forward for small time Youtubers, such as myself.

    This is a pretty cool move by Youtube but I never really knew what the benefits of being a partner were.

    I knew that you could make a banner, but I didn't know that you could chose the thumbnail. Good news.

    Yeah, google and their program is like my previous company's policy. Everything will look pretty and awesome in black and white but not followed in actual life. That is what you get when you rely on bot than blokes and bitches.
    Anyway, good for them, make hay while the sunshines, ie dont jump to adsense rightaway let your jackass acts get popularity then apply for adsense and enjoy the revenue for 2 months they mysteriously any guy can sabotage that by clicking 20 times from same ip. :(

    I'm not too sure about Youtube. I use it to watch many things, but I don't have my own account. Maybe I should look into that. Once again, thanks for teaching me something new ;)

    It seems very similar to just plain monetized? If I have videos that were in eligible fore monetization what will happen?

      Basically the same as regular monitization, but has a lot of potential in the new system where there is no delay in reaping rewards from videos.

    Wait what? I didn't know you couldn't choose your thumbnail if you weren't a partnership. That alone is a great reason why you would want to get it, it would also explain why clips have pictures cleavage 99% of the time.

    I just don't know if I'll ever post a YouTube video. I'm not sure I want my cat to get famous. She's already snooty; it might go to her head.
