2. Youtube Announces New Ways Global Creators Can Earn On The Platform

global creators

YouTube has announced different ways to support global creatives and small creators on the platform in making money.

Shorts are becoming increasingly popular and YouTube has decided that revenue from ads shown between shorts will be collated and shared with creators. 45% of the profits will be given to the creators whose shorts are featured before or after the ads.

YouTube has also said that creators who have up to 1,000 followers and 10 million views in the past 90 days would be able to apply for the YouTube Partnership Program. The platform expects that this would help small creators grow without compromising on quality.

Creator Music would allow creators to buy music licenses from other creators to use in their videos. This allows them to keep all revenue they make from their videos. For those who aren’t interested in buying, the revenue would be shared with the track artiste and the video creator.

These features are expected to go global in early 2023.
