Which of you does not know about the existence of the YouTube service? This is a special social network where users do not just upload videos, but create thematic channels, promote and earn money from it. But not everyone has heard that there are special YouTube insignias: "silver button", "gold", "platinum" and "diamond".
Let's stop at the first step of this "hit parade".
What is YouTube Silver Button for?
YouTube's "silver button" award is a gift from the administration of the resource. It is received by absolutely every channel owner who has 100,000 subscribers. In the current realities, this is not such an exorbitant figure. Even the more difficult "golden button" (given for 1 million subscribers) has already been awarded more than a dozen times.
From this we can conclude that everyone who has their own YouTube channel is quite capable of receiving such an award. But this will require long and painstaking work, increasing the interest of the public. By the way, specifically register in some programs or applyApplicants do not need to apply. The award itself finds the winners. How? Read on.
How to get YouTube Silver Button?
The YouTube Badge (Silver Button) is awarded at the annual festival and also mailed. To become one of the lucky ones, you just need to attract more than 100,000 subscribers to your channel and … wait.
Don't be upset if you already have the coveted hundred, but you still haven't been on the list of "winners". The management of the service collects statistics much earlier than the award. While the data is being processed, while the award buttons themselves are being made (and this is not just a cardboard diploma for you), several months pass.
In addition, any YouTube badge, including the "silver button", does not provide any benefits, nor is it accompanied by a monetary reward or anything like that. This is just a reward-encouragement for the most diligent.
But there's another important point to keep in mind: YouTube is careful to make sure everything happens fairly. If the owner of the channel is convicted of cheating or any other illegal way to increase the audience, he will not see the "silver button" (like everyone else, of course).
And what if you worked honestly, received your cherished hundred a long time ago, but still no insignia? Then pay attention to your mailbox. The fact is that companies that send gifts from YouTube must confirm the datarecipient. To do this, they send a letter to his email address.
Of course, in our time, rarely will anyone agree to send their passport data (namely, they are needed for confirmation) to strangers. That is why many "buttons" are simply returned back to the warehouse.
Known Silver Button Winners
As mentioned above, YouTube's "silver button" has already been awarded many times, but the reader will probably be more interested in the "exploits" of compatriots. It's no secret that in the US the popularity of video hosting is many times higher, because there the possession of "silver" is no longer so prestigious.
In Russia at the moment more than 40 channels have been awarded the "silver button". Among them are especially famous:
- TheWikiHow tutorial channel;
- Zhorik Revazov's entertainment channel;
- channel of the popular game "WorldOfTanksCom" and many others.
