Youtube Partner Program

Youtube also announced that it has launched the Youtube Partner Program to video creators in Pakistan , allowing them to make money from their original works . Now any Pakistani creator with even just one original video can become a Partner and start making money . This gives many creators the chance to follow the path of other Youtube Partners overseas who make a living from the money they make on Youtube .

The Partner Program is Youtube’s way of sharing advertising revenue with video creators . A Partner can choose to run ads against their videos . Youtube then splits the revenue generated by those ads , with the majority share going t the Partner . Beyond the opportunity to make money , Youtube provides video creators with resources and opportunities to improve their skills , optimize their content for Youtube , and build larger audiences .
