How to Make Money with the YouTube Partner Program

Five years ago, YouTube opened their partner program to everyone. This was a really big deal: People were creating accounts that uploaded content owned by other people, sometimes big record labels or movie studios, sometimes other popular YouTube creators. In an effort to combat these bad actors, YouTube has announced a change to its partner program today.

Together these new thresholds will help ensure revenue only flows to creators who are playing by the rules. Of course, along with protecting the creators on its service whose videos are being re-uploaded by scam artists, these new rules may help YouTube keep offensive videos away from the brands that spend money marketing on their platform.

This has been a big problem for YouTube in recent weeks. As it moves ever closer to parity with the world of prime-time television, YouTube is sensibly taking steps to police how business is done on its service.

Time will tell how a rising generation of creators respond to these new limitations.
