Now Everyone Can Make Money In YouTube
Written under: Business, Internet, Pop CultureSome time ago, YouTube launched their YouTube Partnership Program (YPP) that helped popular users and channels make money from their uploaded videos.
However, if you’re just an ordinary person who happened to upload a particular video that went viral – a one-hit-wonder video you could say, then there’s now some good news for you.
The YouTube Partnership Program (YPP) has extended the program to include individual popular videos on the site.
According to the YouTube Biz Blog:
Now, when you upload a video to YouTube that accumulates lots of views, we may invite you to monetize that video and start earning revenue from it.
To determine whether a particular video is eligible for monetization, we look at factors like the number of views, the video’s virality and compliance with the YouTube Terms of Service.
If your video is eligible for monetization, you will receive an email and see an “Enable Revenue Sharing” message next to your video on the watch page, as well as in other places in your account.
All individuals who will opt in to monetization are required to have a Google Adsense account where they will get their earnings.
