If you’ve got a videocamera and a woozy kid on the way home from the dentist, you can now make a lot of cash. Last week YouTube announced a massive expansion of their revenue-sharing Partner Program. With it, YouTube will seek out the most popular videos on the site and then invite the uploaders to join in the fun. YouTube will attach a variety of advertising to the video and then give the uploader a big cut of the revenue.

The program has actually already been in place for a couple years, but with this new announcement they’ll be looking to increase the number of partners by 10x or even more.

Where previously the vast majority of partners were multiple uploaders, the new program will include lots more one-hit wonders. Videos like the aforementioned David After Dentist, which has 28 million views and counting, should start bringing in a whole lot of cake. And with YouTube’s promise to add tens of thousands of videos to the Partner Program, hit video makers should stand a good chance of getting in on the action.
