YouTube creators based in the United States and South Korea can now access partner campaigns directly through the Shopping-hub inside YouTube Studio to earn higher commissions and bonuses.
Discovering Open and Invited Campaigns in YouTube Studio
The platform’s updated infrastructure allows creators to monetize content featuring brand products through tiered incentives, including elevated commission percentages and performance bonuses. Creators can navigate to the monetization tab within YouTube Studio, open the Shopping-hub, and scroll to the Mis dit niet
section to review active promotional opportunities. These listings feature a growing directory of participating merchants and custom promotion rates.
Campaign opportunities are structured into two distinct formats: open offers and invitations. Open offers require no direct invitation; creators simply browse available merchant deals in the Shopping-hub and tag eligible products during upload to earn active promotional rates. Invitations, meanwhile, arrive directly in a creator’s YouTube Studio inbox or Shopping-hub, offering either commission-only structures or exclusive fixed bonuses tied to specific validation criteria.
Qualifying for Exclusive Partner Bonuses
Securing a partner bonus requires adherence to strict platform compliance checks and specific content parameters. Creators can earn one bonus per invitation for the first video that meets all requirements by publishing either a YouTube Short or a traditional long-form video. Livestreams and premieres are explicitly excluded from bonus payouts.
To meet eligibility thresholds, creators must tag at least one qualifying product from the campaign, enable the Paid promotion
notification within YouTube Studio, and set video privacy to public while ensuring the content is not marked as Made for Kids.
The video must go live during the active campaign period outlined in the invitation details. Creators must also keep the video and its product tags publicly visible for at least 30 days.
Content must fully comply with YouTube Community Guidelines and advertiser-friendly content policies. Videos carrying policy violations, active warnings, or monetization restrictions are disqualified from bonus payouts automatically. Earnings are tracked directly within YouTube Analytics under the dedicated bonus tab, which displays estimated revenue, unlocked partner bonuses, and cumulative earnings alongside standard monthly AdSense distributions.
Production Standards for Brand Boosting
Brands and merchants prioritizing content for promotional boosts evaluate submissions based on strict visual and structural benchmarks. High-performing creator content typically introduces the featured product within the first five seconds, utilizing clear, high-quality visual framing.
Optimal material requires creators to explicitly mention or display the brand name or logo on screen rather than relying solely on voiceovers. Videos must integrate a compelling hook within the initial 30 seconds alongside a specific call to action, such as instructing viewers to visit a specific site or complete a purchase immediately. Production standards demand high-contrast text and readable overlays suitable for small mobile screens, while strictly avoiding blurry footage, poor lighting, or compromised audio. Videos must run under six minutes in length and remain free of active music copyright claims.
