YouTube to Expand Creator Monetization Opportunities
YouTube has been giving back to its community and creators — and now, it's just doing more. ✨
Expanding creator monetization opportunities to other regions, which YouTube recently announced about along with with a slew of new features, including pausing comments on new YouTube videos. More on that later; let's talk about the YouTube Partner Program.
YouTube has reduced the barrier to entry for its YouTube Partner Program, and if you observe the above image, you'll discover the criteria. But what makes it interesting is that fans can fund creators, and creators with 1000 subscribers can also be a part of this program. What does this mean? Well, nano creators are eligible to monetize!
Social Media Today said, "YouTube has announced that these lower entry markers will now apply to creators in 37 more countries, meaning that 99 regions in total now qualify for the new system. YouTube’s eventually planning to expand this to all regions, which will help to facilitate more revenue options for more creators, and could help YouTube fend off competition from TikTok, and others, for talent.”
What do you think about this? Do you think you'll apply for the Partner Program?

Why a Sculptor Pivoted from Gallery Installations to Big-box Stores Design
James Wines is an iconic sculptor and architect who transitioned into a visual artist and architect endorsing sustainability. While his works have found home in Canada, Spain, Japan, Korea, Dubai, and other parts of the world, he paused everything he was doing to pivot and create what would endure for years.
Bringing elements like aesthetics, creativity, durability, and timeless and environmental designs into play — James and his team architected buildings and spaces that invoke conversations. In this piece by Aeon, you’ll know how they put art where you least expect it. A great learning for me, because it made me realise sustainability doesn’t have to be less creative or conversational.
