YouTube videos make money creators make thousands of dollars a month

YouTube, the world's largest video-sharing site, has become a popular pastime for millions of Internet users in its three years of existence, but now it can also be a way to make a living, allowing hundreds of video creators to earn thousands of dollars a month.

According to a recent article in the New York Times, YouTube has been inviting members to become "partners" and share advertising revenue with the creators (the site makes money) for a year, and the most successful users are already earning six-figure incomes, and some are making funny videos into a formal career.
