YouTube creators with 10K subscribers get live streaming & monetized ‘Super Chat’ feature

I predict that influencer marketing is going to be a thing that more and more businesses get involved in. So it makes sense for YouTube to try and recruit as many influencers as possible. Now, YouTube has found a new way for influencers to get paid.

Tailor Ads by Device or Audience with AdWords IF Functions
