We're extending the YouTube Partnership Program to include individual popular videos on our site. Now, when you upload a video to YouTube that accumulates lots of views, we may invite you to monetize that video and start earning revenue from it.
No later than yesterday, I received an invitation from Youtube:
Your video "Laetitia enceinte lit" has become popular on YouTube, and we'd like to invite you to start making money from it by including it in the YouTube Partnership Program.
Making money from your video is easy. Here's how it works: First sign into your YouTube account vespafamily. Then, complete the steps outlined here: http://www.youtube.com/... Once you're finished, we'll start placing ads next to your video and pay you a share of the revenue.
We look forward to adding your video to the YouTube Partnership Program. Thanks and good luck!

Cool! I remember applying once for the Partnership Program, and was told that a 1 year-old channel with less than 15K was not interesting. Sweet taste of revenge!
The steps to complete are pretty easy: It is a set of 11 questions regarding the content of your video and the steps to go through to start getting paid.
Your advertising share comes through your Adsense account, and it appears as 'Adsense for content host' on your Adsense dashboard.
I admit that the whole process is very simple. I imagine that someone who doesn't have an Adsense account will find it more difficult to get the ads up-and-running. The video is here:
It's funny because this video is simply my wife lying in bed, being pregnant. Can't find a laziest way to make money on Youtube! The revenues are comparable to traditional Adsense revenues: for me, it's about pennies and dimes. But I am sure this is a great opportunity for other content creators who launch a lot of viral stuff on Youtube.
