Meet your January On The Rise nominees
Tuesday, January 7, 2014
In our monthly On The Rise program, we identify four partners whose channels drive significant YouTube watch time but haven’t yet reached the 100,000 subscriber mark. With your
help
, we’re sharing with you four dedicated partners who’d like your help to jump-start their audience development and channel growth. In January, we'e excited to introduce you to partners whose content covers the worlds of music, origami, technology and graphic novels.
Here’s where you come in--you actually have the chance to help push these partners even further on YouTube. Review their videos below, vote for your favorite
here
by selecting the blue checkmark next to the channel name, and one of these candidates will have the opportunity to be featured across YouTube later this month. In addition to your votes, each channel will be evaluated on criteria such as viewer engagement and channel optimization techniques to decide which partner we’ll feature.
In past months, featured On The Rise partners like
wranglerstar
and
Buzz60
have gained many subscribers and seen their careers take off, in large part due to your support. This month’s poll will be open until
January 13, 5 p.m. PT
, so don’t forget to vote for your favorite channel. Check back to see which channel will be featured on January 31.

On The Rise homepage
. You can check out all of our past featured partners on the
Featured Partners
tab, or nominate a YouTube partner to be considered for the program on the
Nominate
tab. Feel free to submit nominations for your own channel, or for channels you follow that you think deserve more attention, or could be the next YouTube sensation. We’ll continue to feature promising partners who drive YouTube watch time, have fewer than 100,000 subscribers, and produce engaging content on a regular basis.
