YouTube Partnership - Thoughts

As you probably all know by now, I am a YouTube partner. So it means I get some money from making YouTube videos, also I get to upload longer videos, and I get branding options.

I'm going to give my thoughts on this and why I think it's a good thing.

Payment: I'm not going to lie about this but so far I've only earned 32p, which started from thrusday which isn't too bad, but I'm willing to give it time since I've only been on the partnership programe for a few days, I don't expect to make millions over night.

Video Uploader: This is probably the one downside to being a partner, it's that your stuck with the older YouTube uploader, however I have found that using the Bulk Uploader will do just fine. I think the old uploader is too buggy and it would be nice for YouTube to give us the new Uploader that most Non-partner's can use. It's not that big of an issue though.

Longer videos: In the past my videos have seem somwhat rushed, that was because I had a 10 minute limt to my videos, but now I can take my time to explain things better, and it means that most of you won't have to worry about missing anything.

Branding options: The branding options are little logo's or banners that can be posted above the video description, also a banner can be placed at the top of your YouTube channel page.

More modules: Partners can place a module on thier channel to display any other channels they have got, for me however I use it to display other people who make videos like I do. They helped me so I help them. One of them is now a partner so it's all working out good.

Overall, I think the partnership programe will help me deliver more content to you all, and I hope that I start earning a fair amount of money from it so I can keep going. I'm not in partnership for the money, I'm in it so I can bring better content to people. I consider the money made is to be used to help me make better videos. It might not bring a lot of money but at the end of the day it's a little bit extra in your pocket. I also think that being a partner will help me gain more subscribers.
