Consistency is key: A YouTube Shorts bonus program rewards creators who upload at regular intervals

YouTube is preparing to raise the entry threshold for its Partner Program, but at the same time, it is testing new ways for creators to make money. The platform quietly announced the launch of a Bonus Program that will deliver additional earnings to select Partner Program enrollees who consistently upload short-form content. As with many new YouTube features, the YouTube Shorts Bonus Program was revealed in a Creator Insider video hosted by Rene Ritchie, YouTube's current Creator Liaison. "What if you could get paid a bonus just for keeping your Shorts schedule consistent?" Ritchie asked. He added that creators who are part of the test can take home "something extra based on your viewership." Visit Tubefilter for more great stories.
