If you are a YouTube Partner with less than 300.000 subscribers you might want to apply for this new NextUp initiative.
In 2010 YouTube Partners generated more than 100 billion views and made millions of dollars through the revenue sharing Partner Program.
This year, 2011, they keep seeking for talented partners who want to rocket-launch their careers, generate even bigger profits and take their channels to the next level.
YouTube NextUp is about accelerating the growth of the next big YouTube stars
They are offering some cool incentives for you to sign up, so if you are a Partner don’t think twice, here is what’s up for grabs:
- $35,000 in funding to produce a new project, purchase new tools or advance your overall YouTube careers
- A spot at a four-day YouTube Creator Camp in which you’ll benefit from 1:1 mentoring and learn an array of production techniques from leading industry and YouTube experts
- Promotion of your final work and channel
- The opportunity to become better connected with a special community of aspiring and talented content creators from around the world
How To Apply For YouTube’s NextUp
Submit a short (up to three minute) video that best represents what you do and what you want to accomplish on YouTube.
They are also asking for short written responses that explain how you’d use the $35,000, why you want to be part of the program, and what you hope to learn at the YouTube Creator Camp.
All YouTube Partners can apply at youtube.com/youtubenextup by midnight PT on March 27, 2011.
Let me tell you something, last year youtube announced a similar thing for it’s 5th anniversary.
I mailed about it and one lucky HTGV member (Scott) got 2500 new subscribers, was invited to become a partner and also got featured on the homepage… OVERNIGHT (read it again here)
He did it because he read the email I sent and took action.
This year it could be you.
My advice? Sign up.

I’ve been a YouTube partner for about a month on my “LegendaryBadass” channel with 3155 subscribers and counting. I review video games and do some comedy bits, and may end up incorporating my movie review channel to my partnered account.

It’s difficult doing something new! I think YouTube and The Commercial Money Game Show would be great together! Gimme a ring!
