YouTube recently expanded their pool of partners. I’m swimming in the pool right now. In order to make money on your clips, the only limitations are that you have to own the rights to what you are uploading, and the clips need to be over 30 seconds in length. You also have to sign up for a Google Adwords account in order to get paid.  

The other thing is that you have to have some popular videos and quite a few subscribers in order to be accepted into the program. While it’s no Internet People, my halloween video The Happy Pumpkin has over 600,000 views. Ironically, this video doesn’t qualify for revenue sharing, since it is under 30 seconds in length. I fell it was responsible for most of my subscribers though. 

One of the cooler features that gets added to your YouTube account is the ability to track your videos. Are people watching it all the way through? How are the finding it? What demographic is your video most popular with? You’ll know with YouTube’s new Insight feature.We’ll have to wait and see if I make any money as a YouTube partner, but in the meantime, do your part and watch Opposites Jamboree.
