YouTube releases Creator Music, which allows users to monetize licensed music
Google-owned YouTube has launched its new marketplace, Creator Music, a new and easy way for YouTube Partner Program (YPP) creators in the US to access an ever-growing catalog of music for use in their videos while still monetizing.
“We’re excited to roll this out to monetizing creators in the US in the coming weeks and continue to expand to other countries in 2023. Subscribe to this post to keep you updated on our rollout plans,” says a spokesperson. From YouTube’s help page.
In September of last year, the company introduced Creator Music to give YouTube creators easy access to an ever-growing catalog of music for their long-form videos.
This allows content creators who don’t want to buy a license upfront to use songs and share revenue with the song’s performer and other rights holders.
“Creators can now purchase low-cost, high-quality music licenses that provide them with full earning potential – retaining the same revenue share as they normally would from videos without music,” said YouTube’s Director of Creator Products, Amjad Hanif. in the statement.
Google announced last month that it has reorganized the YPP terms to include new modules, such as the “Shorts Monetization Module,” which will allow creators to start earning ad revenue from Shorts videos starting Feb. 1 on the video-sharing platform.
