Wed 11 January 2023:
Google has announced that it has restructured the YouTube Partner Program (YPP) terms to include new modules such as the ‘Shorts Monetisation Module,’ which allows creators to begin earning ad revenue on Shorts on the video-sharing platform beginning February 1.
According to a support page, the new modules give creators more options for earning money from their content.
“After signing the Base Terms, which are the foundational contract terms for all creators wishing to monetise on the platform, creators can pick and choose from contract Modules to unlock earning opportunities.”
The new modules include the ‘Watch Page Monetisation Module’, ‘Shorts Monetisation Module’ and ‘Commerce Product Addendum’.
Users need to accept the Watch Page Monetisation Module to earn ad and YouTube Premium revenue on long-form or live-streaming videos viewed on the Watch Page.
If users already accepted the ‘Commerce Product Addendum’ which unlocks a series of Fan Funding features, then they won’t need to accept its terms again.
All users need to review and understand the new YPP terms as “accepting the Base Terms is required to join or remain in YPP.”
“To remain in the YouTube Partner Program and continue monetising on YouTube, all monetizing partners will have until July 10, 2023, to review and accept new terms,” Google said.
If users do not accept the Base Terms by that date, their channel will be removed from the YPP and their monetisation agreement will be terminated.
