YouTube wants to pay content producers

YouTube wants to pay content producersYouTube is expanding their partnership with independent video creators who are looking for not only a little more distribution, but also a little extra cash.

The YouTube Partner Program is now opening to anyone within North America. The current 100 high profile partners include Mr Chocolate Rain, the NBA, Universal Music Group, Victoria Secret, National Geographic and many other larger as well as smaller contributors.

You also need to be a resident of the US or Canada. In order to get started you must meet the requirements and submit an application available here, and cross your fingers.
