Guestpost:Learning by Using YouTube’s guidelines for successful monetization in 2012
YouTube Partner program is currently available to everyone in these
countries: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Czech
Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands,
New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and the
United States.
Then for your videos to be eligible for
monetization, you must own all the necessary rights to commercially use
all visuals and audio, whether they belong to you or a third party. By
commercial use rights, we mean the rights to make money from the video.
To ensure that you are not infringing on anyone else’s copyright, take a moment to learn from Russell and Lumpy at our Copyright School.
Here are some tips on how to be successful at making money on YouTube:
- Create yourself: YouTube is a place where everyone has a voice and where everyone, whether a newbie videographer or a professional, can be successful. We encourage you to use your imagination to create something completely original. Examples of videos that have been successful on YouTube include daily vlogs and home videos, Do- it-Yourself videos and tutorials, original music videos and short films.
- Commercial Use rights: Before opting such content into monetization, ensure that you have all the necessary rights to commercially use the content. It’s not uncommon for content creators to clear rights to use third party content on YouTube. Often, this clearance takes the form of explicit written permission from the rights holders.
- Follow YouTube guidelines: To support your growth and success on YouTube, we expect you to follow YouTube’s Community Guidelines when you create content for YouTube. Following them is a requirement on the site, and will increase the visibility of your content on YouTube which could mean more views, more user engagement and ultimately more revenue.
