The company recently announced a reduction in eligibility requirements for the Partnerships, seeking to expand monetization opportunities for content creators with less followers.
Based on the new policy, there has been a significant reduction in the eligibility criteria for the YouTube Partner Program. Previously, creators had to reach certain milestones like 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours to be eligible to monetize their content.
However, as per the recent changes, creators now only need to have 500 subscribers and 3,000 watch hours to qualify. Additionally, the views requirement for the shorts, YouTube's short video feature has been reduced from 10 million to 3 million.
The updated requirements for the YouTube Partner Program will initially be implemented in the United States, United Kingdom, Taiwan, South Korea, and Canada.
These countries will be the first to benefit from changes in monetization policies, offering more opportunities to content creators with smaller followings.
While smaller accounts have the greatest opportunity to monetize on YouTube, it's important to note that they still need to increase their audience, meeting some criteria established by platform. One of those criteria, of course, is to grow your audience to generate more revenue.
Based on the information provided, existing YouTube Partner Program revenue sharing requirements will remain unchanged.
