BSP-320: YouTube Shorts Revenue Share, How Much I Earn From Affiliate Links, & More

On episode 320 of the BSP I discuss the Made on YouTube announcement where they discuss new criteria for joining YouTube Partner Program, new monetization possibilities for shorts, and the ability to license music for your videos. I also talk YouTube placing too many midrolls, ad breaks on TV vs. Online Video, and how much I earn from Affiliate Marketing.

Correction: While uploading my podcast, my monetization upload defaults came up. I apparently not only omit mid-roll ads, but also do not have non-skippable adverts engaged on this channel.
