Wait, you have a thousand YouTube subscribers but aren't making money yet? YouTube literally just dropped a golden ticket for small creators by announcing some new features that will create new revenue streams for the smaller channels. And these three will definitely make your wallet happy. Number one is communities. It's like having your own social media kingdom where you keep 70% of membership revenue. Number two is hype. Your superfans get three weekly hypes to shower your content with financial love and they'll eventually be able to buy more. And number three is shopping. Turn your content into a storefront by tagging products, adding shelves, and popping in buy buttons directly on your videos. These latest features are transforming YouTube into a one stop money making machine. For the smaller channels, check out the full video for the blueprint on all the latest ways your channel can start monetizing while growing.
