YouTube Shares the Wealth With Everyone. Apply Now
YouTube is expanding its program to share a cut of the AdSense advertising revenue associated with your videos on the site (even though most videos are watched elsewhere in embedded players that typically don’t carry ads). I guess Metacafe and Revver, which have been sharing their video ad revenues with their contributors for a while, had the right idea after all. The criteria for membership are:
—You create original videos suitable for online streaming.
—You own the copyrights and distribution rights for all audio and video content that you upload — no exceptions.
—You regularly upload videos that are viewed by thousands of YouTube users.
—You live in the United States or Canada.
And if accepted, what percentage of those revenues are you entitled to? They don’t say. But you can trust them. You’ll get paid something. If you qualify. Better apply now before everybody else does.
