When at least 4 of its first 5 viewers agree, you earn US$5. Your very first one pays US$10.
The Diamond pot
US$1,000 this month
Every month, the partner with the most reviews that count wins the pot: at least 20, with 80% of their rated reviews counting. If nobody qualifies, it grows by US$500 for next month, up to US$2,000. One win per person in phase 1, so there's a new Diamond every month.
Leading in November 2026
No reviews have counted yet this month. The first partner to 20 takes the lead.
This is the program's first month, so there's no typical figure yet. Most partners will earn far less than the pot. The winner is checked by a person before the pot is paid.
Levels: more spots, sooner
| Level | Reach it with, in the last 30 days | Paid spots a week | Claims open |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partner | Joining | 3 | Monday |
| Silver | 5 reviews that count | 6 | 2 hours early |
| Gold | 20 reviews that count | 10 | 4 hours early |
Every review that counts pays the same US$5 at every level. Levels give you more chances to earn, and Silver and Gold also need 80% of your rated reviews to count, so they reward quality, not volume.
Why it can't be gamed
- Real viewers decide. A review counts only when people who watched the video here agree with it. They aren't partners and they're never paid.
- Five different people. Each review's 5 judges must be on 5 different networks and browsers. One viewer counts on at most 3 of your reviews, and people who came through your link can't rate yours.
- No flooding, by hand or with AI. Paid spots are limited every week. Copied, templated or generic reviews don't earn, and an automatic check holds back spam.
- One person, one account. One PayPal account per partner. Every payment, and every Diamond pot, is checked by a person before it's sent.
We never pay for watching, liking, sharing or subscribing. Paid reviews carry a "Paid partner" label.
This week's 10
See all and claim a spot
Phase 1: paid spots are limited each month, and when they're gone more open on the 1st. Payments by PayPal: the first from US$10 within a week, then monthly from US$100 by the 7th. Rules can change for future weeks with notice; anything already earned is always paid. The Partner Program is ours alone and has nothing to do with YouTube's own monetisation. Full terms
