Here's how to join the YouTube Shopping affiliate program so you can earn more money by attaching affiliate links to Shorts. To be clear, we're talking about this type of video where there's a link attached to it. If you tap on it, it shows the affiliate links and if somebody buys through those links, the YouTuber earns a commission. I thought by getting into the YouTube partner program and getting monetized on YouTube meant that I'd automatically get it. I was wrong. To get in the YouTube shopping affiliate program, YouTube says yes, you do need to be in the YouTube partner program being monetized, but you also need to have more than 10,000 subscribers, not be listed as a music channel, and also not be listed as a made for kids channel, but also you must be currently based in one of these countries. Now, maybe those requirements will change.
