YouTube Partnership

So currently, I am trying to become a Partner on YouTube.

What's a Partner, you ask?


"YouTube partners are independent video creators and media companies who are looking for online distribution and who meet our qualifications. Becoming a partner gives you the ability to share in ad revenue from your YouTube videos."
- www.youtube.com/partners

Basically, I promote YouTube ads, and they promote me.

You get a lot of good features when you become a partner with YouTube. And I think you get paid. But I don't really care about that.....But the problem is...I don't know if I qualify to become a partner.

To become a partner...you have to have all original content. Yeah...my content is all original....
But you can't have anything copyrighted....uh oh. I don't really know what they consider "copyrighted material"...
Does that mean I have to delete EVERY video I have that has music that I do not own?

The other thing is....your videos have to get thousands of views...regularly...

But here's the deal...one of my videos has almost 30,000 views....the rest vary from 20-2,000.

I have a total of 46 videos...5 of which have over 1,000 views....

But does that one video with almost 30,000 views make up for anything?


I really don't want to delete all of my old silly videos.

Maybe I should have posted it on another account...but it's way too late for that.


So currently, I'm trying to promote all of my Elvish videos...I have a feeling that they are going to take off....
We'll see....

I applied for YouTube Partnership....I don't know if I will get it.......I'll let you know what happens.
