The YouTube creator community lets creators get a chance to meet, engage with and learn from other creators who will serve as their network on YouTube. Creators will also get support from a YouTube Community Partner Manager (CPM) who will serve as their guide in navigating YouTube.
What is a YouTube Community Partner Manager?
A YouTube Community Partner Manager's goal is to create a community that educates, uplifts and amplifies the creator experience. This may help unlock access to opportunities that expand creator connections, guide creators on YouTube and empower creators to own their YouTube experience.
These are just a few of the ways that CPMs can help creators succeed on YouTube:
- Access to a growing network of inspiring creators
- Regular updates on best practices, new features and topical tips
- Exclusive invitations to creator/industry events and workshops
- Early access to the latest product features and launches, as well as education on new features
- The opportunity to share feedback directly with the product teams

Does a YouTube Community Partner Manager cost anything?
No, having a Community Partner Manager is a service that comes at no cost to you.
Is a YouTube Community Partner Manager different to a Partner Manager?
Community Partner Managers manage the YouTube creator community, which is a different programme to the YouTube Partner Manager programme, with distinct selection criteria and service offerings.
The YouTube creator community manages a large community in which creators can connect with other creators. The Partner Manager programme supports individual creators as one-on-one personal YouTube experts.
I found out that I'm not eligible. What should I do?
Don't worry! There are many resources that you can still use to grow your channel:
- Check out the YouTube Creators site.
- Find best practices in our creator tips.
- Get to know our policies and guidelines.
How do I know that the emails I'm getting are really from YouTube?
We know that creators receive many emails about their channel. Here's how you can check that an email is actually from the YouTube team:
- Check the email domain: Make sure that the email is from an @google.com, @youtube.com or @partnerships.withyoutube.com email address. Emails from any other domains that claim to be from YouTube or Google are likely to be fake.
- Check the links: Make sure that the URL of links or forms included in the email end with youtube.com, withgoogle.com, withyoutube.com, youtube.secure.force.com or youtube.force.com.
