Google Africa has expanded the YouTube partner programme to Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal and Uganda.
This follows the launch of YouTube domains in those countries. Google says in its Africa blog that it had been ‘amazed by the quality and creativity’ of content producers in those countries.
It now offers the YouTube partner programme, which enables content producers to make money from their videos by allowing ads to run alongside individual videos, thereby generating revenue. To earn money and receive payments from these advertisements, content producers must associate an AdSense account with their YouTube account.
