Memberships

You actually might have heard of this as "Youtube Sponsorship" usually for gaming channels. Using sponsorship you can sponsor your channel for  $4.99 per month. But for this to work youtube content creators have to fulfill the following criteria:
  • Youtube content creators need to have atleast 100k subscribers
  • Youtube content creators need to be over 18 years of age
  • Youtube content creators need to be members of the YouTube Partner Program

Memberships

Memberships will allow subscribers to gain access to members-only posts in the Community tab. Here youtube content creators can share special information that only members can see.

YouTube says it will vet these perks manually, to ensure they meet YouTube’s guidelines and are something the creator can actually deliver.


This feature was launched in January for few creators who chosen as test samples by youtube. They have already started generating revenue from memberships.

Same as sponsorships, YouTube retains 30 percent of sponsorship revenue that includes local sales tax, transaction costs, including credit card fees.

Merchandise

Premieres

With premieres, youtube content creators can generate revenues through making premieres of videos. With the help of youtube video premieres, you can create a landing page to promote your video. This page allows followers to chat with youtube content creators.

After the premiere is finished, the video is launched as a regular youtube video. Premiere videos show up as recommended videos and notifications. They will also appear in YouTube search results and YouTube suggested videos.

YouTube is releasing its own version of Stories for all eligible creators with more than 10,000 subscribers by the end of this year.
