YouTube has rolled out fresh features in YouTube Studio, aiming to simplify the process for podcasters to share their content on YouTube and YouTube Music.
Podcasters now have dedicated shelves on the YouTube Music homepage, helping listeners discover and enjoy their podcasts more easily.
Listeners on YouTube Music can access podcasts on-demand, offline, and in the background. This opens up more avenues for podcasters to generate income through advertisements and subscriptions.
YouTube offers various fan funding options like channel memberships and Super Chat during live streams.
These avenues enable creators to offer exclusive content and perks to their fans. Notably, in India, there has been a significant rise in channels earning revenue through these fan funding products.
YouTube also introduced BrandConnect, a platform designed to foster collaborations between creators and advertisers for sponsored content.
Eligible creators and select advertisers in India can now leverage this platform to streamline their branded content campaigns and assess their impact more effectively.
