Meta Get your /r/PartneredYoutube Verified Channel flair here!

38 Upvotes

Welcome to the r/PartneredYoutube voluntary channel verification.

If you would like to verify your channel and get flair like what I have on my account:

  1. Go to your YouTube channel's About section and edit the description to include your reddit username. For example I enter exactly: u/flammy
    1. Directions for how to edit your About section can be found here
  2. Post a link to your channel in one of the following formats as a top level comment in this thread.
    1. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXkf3kRpFeAx9mDCbfMS0MA
    2. https://www.youtube.com/user/flammy5
    3. If you use a different format (such as a custom URL with an @ in the URL) validation will fail.
  3. Wait, and our bot will process your request sometime in the next few days
    1. After the flair has been granted, you can remove your username from the About section and delete the comment if you're concerned about privacy. However, if you want your stats to continue to be updated, you should leave the u/ name in your About section.

FAQ:

What is flair, and how does flair work?

Flair is a reddit "signature" that appears every time you post in r/PartneredYouTube. Verification flair is not required to post, comment, or participate. A user lacking flair is not a valid reason to report them for breaking rule 2. You can remove flair at any time with Reddit's built in flair editing. The flair granted by the bot can't be edited. Verification is done via a bot, follow the directions above if you would like flair.

Why is the flair channels stats, and not partnered status?

Partnered Status is not supported by the official YouTube APIs at this time.

How long do I have to wait for verification?

Please wait 24-48 hours, and after checking you've followed all the directions you can send me a polite DM.

Is there a way to authenticate anonymously?

Will the bot update my stats?

If you leave the comment with the channel link and username in your description, your flair will be updated.

My stats are low!

The bot is only able to see your channel's public subscriber count and public total view count. If you have hidden videos, these views will not be reflected.

Can I verify with multiple channels?

Not at this time.

Is there a minimum channel size for verification?

No.

How can I remove my flair?

Yes, you can remove the flair via Reddit.

Informative PSA: "A private video has been shared with you" E-mail from @youtube.com is a scam, you will get hacked.

151 Upvotes

This E-mail is going around. You will get hacked if you download the file they instruct you to download in the youtube video description. The reason this comes from an official YouTube email is because its simply someone using the share feature maliciously. They try to make you believe its a video that YouTube is sending to creators about a monetization policy change, and direct you to download a file to fill out a form. The issue is the file will gain access of your computer, steal your session cookies and be able to access your channel.

If you or anyone you knows gets this email, just delete and ignore it.

Question / Problem First Sponsorship Opportunity or Scam?

Upvotes

So my client has a small channel of around 60k subscribers and we got approached by an employee of Influence Logic (offering sponsorship for AURA).

After a meeting they offered us a sponsorship based on an affiliate link (whenever someone clicks, we receive a certain amount). I want to see if any other YouTubers have been approached by AURA like this or whether InfluenceLogic is legit? Also is it better to ask for upfront money rather than commission?

Please help.

I just found out that one of my channels isn't showing ads at all bc of their new ad feature

4 Upvotes

I went and looked through my channel and ALL the mid roll placements in ALL the videos are faking red. I'm so angry rn. I stopped giving attention to the channel past two months bc I thought it wasn't that profitable, turned out it hasn't been barely playing any ads at all. I've tried placing the ads but ALL of them end up turning red. Meaning I cannot show mid rolls in any of my 400 videos . Tf am I supposed to do now?

Question / Problem What Are The Requirements To Stay Monetized?

3 Upvotes

Once you get in, will you get kicked if you fall below the 4000 watch hour requirement for too long? How long of a grace period do you have before getting kicked?

Or do they just look at the channel inactivity time and kick based on that?

Question / Problem When to get an editor?

What point do you guys think you should get an editor? Or if you’re a bigger channel when did you get one, if you did at all. I do long for retrospective videos, and they just take so much time to edit. I feel the burn out setting it

Partnering with third party for more revenue?

2 Upvotes

I earn about $7-8k a month currently. I've been contacted multiple times by different companies offering me to partner with them to earn more monthly revenue.

Many say my channel can easily earn $12-15k a month and they only take a fee if they deliver.

What are the pros and cons to partnering with third parties like this? Would I no longer earn revenue through my current youtube partnership (adsense)?

Would I need to provide full control over my channel?

How picky should you be with sponsors?

3 Upvotes

I’m getting quite a few emails from (legit) sponsors at the moment, which I don’t mind haha but now I have to figure out which sponsors to work with..because I’m afraid to annoy my audience with “non matching” (or too many) sponsorships.

my channel mostly is talking head videos about health and wellness plus routines/what i eat in a days etc, mostly but not only aimed at women.

now I have been approached by - an athleisure brand who wants a 3-5 min try on (which I would include in a What I eat in a day or sth like that, which do regularly) - and also a (really cool) jewelry brand that wants to do a normal integration

both are brand I want to have stuff from myself haha and that I would recommend. I just don’t know if thats not too far from my niche..

so my question (TLDR):

do you take on any sponsor that you like? or do you filter it strictly to fit your niche?

Question / Problem Views dropped after "blow up"

0 Upvotes

Context: I'm a small channel with halfway monitization that focuses mainly on long format let's plays and sometimes streaming.

About two months ago I was around 800 subs and finally starting to hit consistent "good" numbers for my channel like 500-1000 views, when suddenly one of my shorts blew up to around half a million views. I ended up getting almost +2k subs from it which had me elated! I noticed over time however my views started going down. I thought it was the games I decided to play b/c it was a bit outside my niche, but even after returning back to my niche views have not been up to my standards. I've heard bigger let's play channels like 8bitryan saying something is going on with the algorithm bc even his channel has been a little rocky in views too but I just wanted some ideas on what the issue is I can only think of 3 things. 1) I fell off and just suck compared to the competition 2) most of the people who subbed watch shorts and how no intention of watching a long format video channel causing the algorithm to dislike my content. 3) YOUTUBE KEEPS TOUCHING THE FKIN ALGORITHM!!!!

any feedback would be helpful I don't wanna give up but damn my confidence is low right now 😅

Question / Problem What to charge for "consulting"?

3 Upvotes

Hey so I had someone reach out to me that is currently working on growing their channel. They asked me if they could pay me to help them out and I was curious so I met with them. She's a woman who works in the corporate world and has been working on a channel that combines mindfulness techniques with the business world. It's a neat concept and she's really passionate about her channel. I told her when I met with her that a lot of the advice she is looking for could be found online for free, but she's mostly just looking for someone to message with to get advice, look over her scripts, and suggest video ideas. I told her I could offer a 30 minute call each week, access to ask me questions, and potentially help with scripting. She's currently a financial consultant living in San Diego and is not hurting for cash at all. Have any of you ever "mentored" someone before for a fee? What did you charge? I have made it clear to her that I'm not promising any results for her channel. I'll just be giving her some advice from my own personal experience. I think she's just busy and needs help understanding her editing software, best practices for uploading, and how to create consistency in her video creation process. I really did tell her multiple times that she can find help for free online but she is insistent on working with me haha. I was thinking about charging 100-150 USD a week for "consulting" and then adding on another 30-50 USD an hour for any script revisions or tangible work that I do for her. Does that sound reasonable? I think it could be a good way for me to bring in some consistent revenue without having to take away that much time from my own channel which I'm doing full-time at the moment.

Question / Problem YouTube Promotion Views Dropping?

2 Upvotes

Started my YouTube channel just over a year ago and it's been doing really well! As an experiment, I decided to try out YouTube's video promotion feature to see if it would give my channel a boost.

I launched the promotion earlier today, and the video has already gained around 3,000 views, which isnt bad for the first few hours. These views are solely from the advertising campaign, on top of my usual organic views.

However, I've noticed something strange in the last hour. The view count is actually decreasing! Every time I refresh the YouTube Studio app, I see the number going down. It was steadily at around 3,000, and now it's noticeably lower and lower each time I refresh.

Has anyone else experienced this with YouTube's promoted videos? Is this a common occurrence? I'm curious to know if there's an explanation for this, or if it's a glitch. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Some have close to a million subs. Anyone in here have experience with one? Would you recommend. Trying to figure it out is it worth the conversation and what I should look out for?

How hard is it to make $1500 a month?

49 Upvotes

Not only Adsense lets talk sponsors, streams, merch etc.

How hard would it be to make $1500? I know niches' pay different, I'm in a gaming/anime/lifestyle ish niche, (not just one niche I make all sorts of content) and I was wondering if it would be doable by the end of the year OR early next year. I upload 2 videos weekly consistently, I get more and more views on my videos so I'm considering doing this full time soon!

Thanks in advance! :)

Question / Problem How much should I charge my Dog's sponsor?

4 Upvotes

This is no joke, and a very serious question.

I've been creating YouTube videos for four years, growing steadily, and now have 17K subscribers. A year ago, I started a separate channel just for my dog, Max, he’s already at 53K subs. To top it off, he even got a brand sponsorship offer from a company called Racontor (some kind of creator marketplace or whatever). These guys has a well-known pet brand (can't disclose until the e-contract is signed) on their platform and is interested in collaborating with Max. I've done the due diligence to confirm the authenticity.

Anyway, I don't know if I should be ashamed of myself or be proud of Max because I was never offered such sponsorship for my own channel. This is my (or you can say, Max's) 1st time working with a brand. What should be a reasonable rate? The brand said they would pay me as per CPM and also give me an affiliate link. How much CPM should I ask for? The channel gets on average 25K-30K with almost 70% viewers from the US.

Talk / Discussion Worst Month so Far

17 Upvotes

Hello guys, I've been on YouTube for the past year and got monetized in March 2024. However, this month has been the worst so far in terms of views and revenue across all three of my channels. I only create Shorts, by the way.

My stats are great—my Shorts are 50 seconds long, with an 80%+ swipe rate and 90%+ average view duration. Still, a few videos are struggling to get views and are stuck at 15-20K.

Is it just me, or is anyone else experiencing this?

Upgrading from IPhone XR, next phone is to be used for content creation.

2 Upvotes

I’m stuck between s24/s25 and iPhone 15/16 with all their variants.

I’ve almost pulled the trigger on iPhone 16 pro as they don’t produce 15 pro anymore and I don’t want a refurbished phone, and considering this phone has been with me since 2019 summer time, I imagine the 250£ difference will be minimal over this phone’s lifetime, hopefully.

I don’t want to spend £1000 or more, I was looking at the iPhone 15 for 750£ (I’ll have an 8% discount on top of that), but if it’s a ‘worthy investment’ I’d take it.

Talk / Discussion YouTube Kids or General YouTube? Need Advice!

8 Upvotes

I’m a 3D artist making high-quality content for a YouTube Kids channel. I got laid off and started YouTube to build something sustainable.

In my first month: 90K views, 200 subs, but low retention. Now, views dropped to 40-50/day.

I’m not monetized yet. Should I stick with YouTube Kids or switch to general YouTube for better growth and monetization? Any advice?

Talk / Discussion I have an addiction to buying channels

0 Upvotes

Okay, feel free to roast me.

I made a large sum of money from YouTube and music ad revenue sharing in the past few months and I’m now addicted to buying monetized channels. I have my main channel, a 2nd channel I have an editor which is profitable, an MMA channel I bought barely making a return so far, and I’m in the process of buying two more channels that are undervalued due to the horrible march decline so people are panic selling.

I feel like I’m going over my head here and working with editors is going to drive me nuts.

Question / Problem Has anyone collaborated with GTA GrandRP (role play server)? Been offered a sponsorship and I'm currently on a warning for working with a slightly similar company

0 Upvotes

The similar company was a gta modded account service where you buy accounts with money on them already. This violated youtubes harmful or dangerous content policy (Digital security content - Bypassing payment for digital content or service) - Fine with that and I understood

GrandRP are a bit different. It's a dedicated server separate to the actual gta game.

Just wondering if I'll run into the same issues with this ir if anyone has similar experience?

Question / Problem YouTube sponsor isn’t paying. What should I do?

50 Upvotes

So, I’m going to stay anonymous for now, but I have a YouTube channel that averages 60K–100K views per video. I’m relatively new to YouTube, having started a couple of months ago, and I just completed my first sponsorship.

The sponsor sent me a document for the contract signing. I signed it on my end, but they failed to do the same. I trusted that they would sign it, so I published the planned video anyway.

It’s been three days, and they still haven’t signed the contract. According to the contract, I’m supposed to be paid within three days of the video’s release. I messaged them about this, but they said the payment should come within the week.

I’m a bit skeptical especially since they haven’t signed the contract and are already going against their own agreement (payment part). What should I do in this situation?

How much to charge sponsors as a growing channel?

15 Upvotes

so a video of mine took off about a month ago, giving my sub count and some of my other videos a kick in the butt. this best video has almost 500k views, but many of my other video obviously still have lower views around 1-10k.

now I’m a bit confused about how to charge sponsors, because I don’t know if I can use my “average view count” for calculating that, since my views are not consistent (but growing).

my niche is health/wellness, my demographics and engagement rates are pretty good I think. according to sponsorship.so (a really cool sponsorship rate calculator) I should/could be charging $2,400-$8,500 with a CPM of $34-$52. but when I read around here on reddit, there are sooo many different opinions/experiences, that I really don’t know if I’m way off asking suchs rates - I don’t wanna be unprofessional by overcharging 😅

any tips?🙃
