YouTube, a popular video streaming network that is a popular choice for producers to upload content, has some good news. YouTube has stated that the eligibility restrictions for the YouTube Partner Programme (YPP) will be reduced, as well as the introduction of a few monetisation techniques for smaller producers, such as paid chat, tipping, channel memberships, and shopping features.

YouTube Monetisation Rules

With the new rules, YouTube Creators would be able to monetise their channel if they meet the following criteria:

1. If the creator gets over 500 subscribers
2. Have uploaded three or more public videos in the past 90 days
3. Completed 3,000 watch hours in the past year or 3 million Shorts views in the last 90 days.

The new monetization guidelines are far less stringent than the previous ones, which called for at least 1,000 subscribers and either 4,000 watch hours in the previous year or 10 million views of Shorts in the preceding 90 days.

YouTube Monetisation Rules: Where Will It Be Implemented First

These newly introduced monetisation rules would first be implemented in the US, the UK, Canada, Taiwan, and South Korea, according to the reports. It will be introduced to other countries with YPP soon. There is no official word on the India availability at the time of writing.

The business also stated that the same YPP criteria will apply to revenue sharing, which means that smaller creators will still need to grow their audience in order to profit from ad income. According to The Verge, the shopping affiliate scheme, which was previously available exclusively by invitation to select creators, is now available to YPP participants in the US with a minimum of 20,000 subscribers.

Meanwhile, in February of this year, the business launched Creator Music, a new marketplace that allows producers in the YPP in the US to easily access an ever-growing repertoire of music for use in their videos while still being able to monetise.
