Hello everyone! It's Jennifer. I'd like to share some exciting

developments on my channel. It's a new year,
1
10000
3580
00:13
so it seems like an ideal time to try out new ways of interacting with you, my viewers.

You might have noticed that some channels on YouTube now allow
3
21700
4120
00:25
sponsorships. Well, recently my channel was selected to test out this beta feature.
4
25820
7940
00:33
That means this feature is still very new and very much in development,
5
33760
5360
00:39
but I find it exciting to experiment and see how sponsorships can work for you and for me.

I teach because I love to teach. I enjoy helping people learn English.

00:53
I've never asked for payments from my viewers,
8
53600
3540
00:57
and I know not everyone is in a position to make a financial contribution.
9
57140
5440
01:02
But I'm hoping that some of you are.
10

01:06
The monthly contribution varies from country to country, and I need to explain that
11
66320
6200
01:12
sponsorships are not available in all countries at this time. As I said, this feature is in beta.
12
72520

01:22
Sponsorships can be a way to show your support of my work. As my way of saying thank you for your sponsorship,
13
82360
7700
01:30
I plan to offer some perks.
14
90060
3180
01:33
Perks are special treats. They're extra things that you can get.
15
93240
5220
01:38
If you choose to become a sponsor, you'll get a special badge next to your name.
16
98460
5740
01:44
That badge will appear on every comment you post on my channel.
17
104200
5240
01:49
In addition, I plan to thank my sponsors with an on-screen, in-video credit once a month.
18
109440
7500
01:56
I'll also be sharing at least two sponsor-only posts on my community tab each week.
19
116940
6760
02:03
I'll still have public posts, but my sponsors will get at least two extra ones each week
20
123700
7640
02:11
These posts may be language tips,
21
131340
3320
02:14
discussion questions, short quizzes, or just something I'd like to share from my day.
22
134660

02:21
The most valuable perk I'm offering to my sponsors is a monthly livestream. This live session will be
23
141700
7160
02:28
approximately 30 minutes long, and it will be a chance to get answers to some of your language questions.
24
148860
7900
02:36
You can post some of your questions in advance on our sponsor-only community tab.
25
156760
6560
02:43
I'll give my explanations during the live sessions, and you can ask additional questions through the live chat
26
163320
7960
02:51
I'll also plan a short activity for each livestream with my sponsors.
27
171280
5200
02:56
That could be a grammar exercise, some pronunciation
28
176480
3880
03:00
practice, like a listen repeat drill, or a short dictation.
29
180360
5560
03:05
So to recap, you'll soon see a sponsorship button on my channel if this beta feature is available in your country.
30

If you choose to become a sponsor and make a monthly contribution to my channel, you'll get these
31
194300
6160
03:20
sponsor-only perks:
32
200460
2820
03:23
a special badge next to your name on every comment you post on my channel,
33
203280
6500
03:29
an on-screen, in video credit once a month,
34
209780
4120
03:33
at least two additional
35
213900
2160
03:36
sponsor-only posts each week in the community tab and
36
216060
4360
03:40
a monthly livestream for sponsors only.
37
220420
4520
03:46
Please let me assure everyone that all my main videos will remain public. I'm not taking anything away.
38
226260
8520
03:54
So I'll still try to respond to all comments on my channel and on social media
39
234780
6560
04:01
And you should understand that small monthly payment doesn't go entirely to me. I'll only earn a percentage.
40
241340
8640
04:09
But getting small payments from different sources is a way
41
249980
4140
04:14
I've been able to continue teaching online for so long.
42
254120
5020
04:19
I earn money from my private lessons, from editing, and blogging, from my publications, and my YouTube channel.
43
259140
9360
04:28
I'd like to continue teaching online for many years to come and
44
268500
4400
04:32
having financial support from sponsors will help make that possible.
45
272900
5840
04:38
I hope you'll understand my decision to participate in this new feature on YouTube,
46
278740
5620
04:44
and I hope some of you will seriously consider becoming a sponsor of my channel English with Jennifer.
47
284360

04:51
I wish all of you the very best, and I thank you for choosing to study with me.

As always, happy studies!
