YouTube Insignia: "silver button"

How many of you do 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 on it. But not everyone has heard that there are special marks of distinction of YouTube: "silver button", "gold", "platinum" and "diamond".

Let's stop at the first stage of this "hit parade".

What is the "silver button" for YouTube?

The award from YouTube - "silver button" - is a gift from the administration of the resource. It gets absolutely every channel owner who has 100,000 subscribers. In the current realities, this is not such a transcendent indicator. Even more complicated in getting the "golden button" (it is given for 1 million subscribers) has already been handed over not one dozen times.

From this we can conclude: anyone who has their own channel on YouTube, is quite capable of receiving such a reward. But this requires a long and laborious work, increasing the interest of the public. By the way, you do not need to register for any programs or apply to applicants. The award itself finds the winners. How? Read on.

How to get the "silver button" of YouTube?

The distinctive mark of YouTube ("silver button") is presented at the annual festival, and also sent by mail. To be among the lucky ones you just need to attract more than 100,000 subscribers to your channel and ... wait.

Do not get upset if the treasured hundred you already have, but in the lists of "winners" you have not been. The service manual collects statistics much earlier than the award. While the data will be processed, while the award buttons themselves are manufactured (and this is not just a cardboard diploma), it takes several months.

In addition, any distinctive sign of YouTube, the "silver button" including, does not give any advantages, nor is it supplemented by a monetary reward or something similar. It's just a reward-reward for the most diligent.

But there is one more important point to consider: YouTube is careful to ensure that everything happens honestly. If the owner of the channel is convicted of cheating or any other illegal way to increase the audience, the "silver button" (like everyone else, of course), he does not see.

And what if you worked honestly, your cherished hundred received a long time ago, and there is no sign of difference? Then pay attention to your mailbox. The fact is that the companies that are engaged in sending out gifts from YouTube, must necessarily confirm the recipient's data. To do this, they send a letter to his email address.

Of course, in our time, few will agree to send their passport data (namely, they are needed for confirmation) to strangers. That's why many "buttons" just go back to the warehouse.

Famous owners of the "silver button"

As mentioned above, the "silver button" of YouTube has been awarded many times, but the reader will probably be more interested in the "exploits" of compatriots. After all, it's no secret that in the US the popularity of video hosting is several 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 a "silver button". Among them are especially known:

• Channel tutorials «The WikiHow»;
• Entertainment channel of Jorik Revazov;
• Channel of the popular game "WorldOfTanksCom" and many others.
