YouTube Tackles Instagram TV With new Monetization Option

in #technology6 years ago (edited)

Despite the fact that video creators on YouTube already have a solid way to monetize their contents, the popular video sharing platform is set to release yet another system to help vloggers and other content creators on the platform to earn more money. This new monetization option will be mostly beneficial to those who have YouTube channels with huge followers, and it is very similar to what Facebook announced for group admins to profit.

YouTube's new monetization option is called Channel Membership, where viewers will have to pay a monthly recurring fee of $4.99 to get unique badges, new emoji, members-only posts in the Community tab, and access to unique custom perks offered by creators, such as exclusive live streams, extra videos, or shout-outs.

According to YouTube, this new channel membership feature will be available to channels with more than 100,000 subscribers, while channels which base in the United States with more than 10,000 subscribers will also be eligible. The Google-owned company—YouTube, in partnership with Teespring, is also offering creators an easy method to design and sell merchandise as twenty items will be available for customization.

YouTube Premieres

In addition, YouTube is also prepping the release of Premieres – a new way for creators to upload content to YouTube, which allows creators share pre-recorded videos as a live moment. The company is also set create a public landing page to ginger viewers for a new content when creators want to release a premier video.

The new Super Chat and Channel Membership will work with Premieres. Also, few days ago, we reported that YouTube was revamping its messaging function with loads of renamed tabs.

It seems YouTube is packing all these new features to destabilize the recently launched Instagram TV from gaining grounds. IGTV is a new feature which comes with its own seperate app, allowing 60 minutes long videos with monetization options in line. Will this actually work?

a good step forward I think.

Yes... Sure, else it's gonna be a loss for them.

I wish all those companies would switch over to blockchain technologies or offer bigger shares of their profits with their content creators.

Yeah you said well my friend, a little share of their profits to their content creators is a very good idea too, at least no one wants to waste his/her time. Without anything to show for it, thank God we've got steemit.

thank @ned and all the humans who came before him who built computers and computer programing languages, and the cosmos too. god's too busy impregnating virgins and judging/ punishing human behavior to create something as sweet as steemit.

Sir will have 10000 subscribers on YouTube and 4000 hours watch time will be within one year. If I can complete these after one year, then whoever will start the monitization on my channel

Oh.... What do you mean exactly sir?

I want to know how my channel's monitization will be started

Thanks for sharing friend

Yeah I knew Youtube will want to up their game and stand stronger

Seriously they had too,
Cause if not it will be a great loss

interesting post friend It does not generate much money for youtube, perhaps this is the new evolution.
Thanks for sharing this information.

Regards

Wow!! I never knew about this until you said it, well this will bring positive value to those who are always active on YouTube. Let's just wait for SMT first off let's see what @ned has been cooking.

Oh wow....this is getting interesting....

YouTube wouldn't want to take chances with IGTV and they quickly had to do a comeback.

I'm waiting for IGTV's comeback also with a new feature

Lol, everyone's trying to outsmart the other.

It seems YouTube is packing all these new features to destabilize the recently launched Instagram TV from gaining grounds.
