The creator monetization battle is now at an all-time high, with giant social media platforms all fighting to draw creators to their side. Youtube is one of the competitors who has just made matters more intense by expanding its Super Thanks monetization feature that was first introduced last July and is now available to creators in 68 regions around the world.
For those unfamiliar with the Super Thanks feature, it is basically an option for fans and subscribers to show their appreciation for their favorite creator’s content by making quick donations through purchasing a Super Thanks animation at one of four price points, which range between $2 and $50.
Once a Super Thanks is given to a certain video, an animation such as the following one can be seen on-screen and an automated colored ‘Thanks!’ comment shows up in the stream’s comments sections in order to notify the creator about your donation.
This feature, along with Super Chat and Super Stickers, has enhanced interaction in real time between Youtubers and their subscribers while also making it easier for creators to build a presence on the platform as well as a real connection with their audience.
The more Youtube integrates monetization tools into the platform, the more it is becoming a top choice for influencers who are interested in earning big bucks without having to work day and night to secure brand deals and partnerships. Instead, to use the appealing Super Thanks option, all users need to do is sign up for the program and focus on creating good content as you’d normally would; in an effort to help you explore all the ins and outs of its latest addition, Youtube has also uploaded the following video:
To top it all off, the online video platform has also revealed that viewers are capable of customizing their Super Thanks comments, which is an option that has been heavily requested for quite some time.
Now it’s all up to you to choose which favorite content creator you’d like to show your appreciation to!
