Today we’re excited to announce two new rewards for LBRY creators: one for followers, and one for views. Also, [YouTube Partner program](#youtube) users can now claim monthly rewards if they qualify.
|
||
|
||
## Follower rewards
|
||
Starting with your very first follower and at ascending tiers, you receive LBC rewards.
|
||
|
||
These rewards are immediately claimable from your Rewards area. You’ll also receive an email notification when you hit various tiers.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To see the exact reward tiers, check out the updated [Rewards FAQ](https://lbry.com/faq/rewards#followers).
|
||
|
||
## View rewards
|
||
Creators will earn additional rewards based on the views to their content.
|
||
|
||
Every signed in user with a verified lbry.tv account will automatically tip the first 10 pieces of content they access each day.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
As a creator, these show up in your [Transactions area](https://lbry.tv/$/transactions). Note that because these come in as tips, these will *not* show in your available balance unless unlocked. You can read more about this in the [Tipping and Supports FAQ](https://lbry.com/faq/tipping). We anticipate more improvements to this process in the near future.
|
||
|
||
## YouTube Program improvements {#youtube}
|
||
Our [YouTube Partner program](https://lbry.com/youtube), which allows YouTube creators to seamlessly publish to LBRY and earn rewards, is getting two great changes:
|
||
|
||
1. Rewards will now be granted monthly instead of yearly. Starting literally right *now*, all creators are eligible to claim these immediately, even if you just received your yearly reward. You will receive a notification when these are available, and you will never lose anything by waiting to claim (for example, if you miss a month, two months will be available on next login).
|
||
|
||
2. Videos will start syncing faster. Rather than up to 24 hours or longer, we are targeting sub-hour times, with some bias towards more popular channels. This change is still a few days to a few weeks from being rolled out completely.
