After a couple failed attempts, I’ve become a YouTube Partner. This is something I’ve been interested in for a while for a couple reasons.
The YouTube Partner Program enables me to brand my channel on YouTube, as well having an option to activate revenue sharing in my videos.
And since I’m a YouTube Partner, my videos are now available (user name: affiliatetip) as Google AdSense Video units.

Becoming a YouTube Partner is a very good idea. If your videos get hot, and you have the ability to earn money from them, and advertise them, the earnings potential is very good. Congrats!

Hey Shawn. Thanks for the great post. I Have never heard of the Youtube Partner Program before but I will definitely do more research on it. I’ll be sure to check out your channel as well when I have a bit more time. Thanks again.
Congrats Shawn. Thanks for all the great Tips & Techniques!
@Ayako:
I brought on my little co-hosts, because I was filming those on Father’s Day.
I’ll keep them behind the camera, so they don’t steal the scenes in the future.
Btw, I’d love to pay attention to your video content, but it is very hard to focus when your cute kids are on it because they steal my attention.
@Miami SEO Company:
Thanks – of all the benefits, I think the branding you can do with the header and other graphics are the best.
I love the “benefits” google lists for becoming a YouTube content partner. http://bit.ly/fezOj
It’s such an incredible opportunity…and even though the application process can be challenging…if you survive…it’s so worth it. congrats on making the mark! BY the way….love the music playlist for swimming harder. your youtube channel rocks.

How exactly would one go about becoming a YouTube Partner? It’s not like I want to make money off of it, but I have a video with over 600k views and I’d like some of that ad money..
Congratulations to you Shawn. And hope to hear more tips on monetizing from youtube.
Love that new fatblogging video with your goggles on..LOL
Your Message@Jay:
Hi Jay – I am surprised more people aren’t tapping into video. It’s easier that many probably think, and there are many ways to use it to earn money and get traffic to sites.
Hi Shawn. Thanks for opening my eyes to another way to monetize using youtube. You’ve got a reputation for thinking outside the box & breaking new ground. It’s always a learning experience to visit your blog. I really appreciate the way you give back to the affiliate marketing community. Keep up the great work!
Cool. I'm still applying for Youtube Partner.
Hey Shawn,
thanks for coming through. Just last week on http://www.Change.gov,I was successfully able to post a comment with a link back to http://www.ShawnDrewry.com,which I did see visible on the change dot gov website. They are using http://www.intensedebate.comon the change site. I feel they will also soon enable it on http://www.WhiteHouse.govas well, because I plan on joining the discussion over there myself .
And by the way, how many times exactly do you remember trying to get approved for the YouTube partner program? Is there like any minimal video requirements, such as needing to have like 50 videos minimum in order to be approved, or? Fill me in when you get a chance.
Thanks for hanging around,

Hey Shawn –
I got in on my third try. I am not sure what changed with their requirements or my account, though.
WoW… that’s great news Shawn ! congrats !
Thanks Dan – now I need to to customize it.
Gratz on the inclusion.
I’d think the traffic gen and branding would outweigh any rev share…

You’ve watched about 1,300 vids?
That’s a lot!
Not sure when they started keeping track of videos watched, but it's got to be a while.
I do watch lots though – anything affiliate related that I come across and plenty of random stuff.
