💎Emerald Expansion: New Exclusive Rewards Launching July 1st

Hey YouNow Partners,

We’re thrilled to announce a major expansion to our Emerald Partner Program, rolling out July 1st!

When we first launched Emerald tiers, they were introduced in a beta form; offering slightly enhanced versions of Gold Star rewards, but without any exclusive perks of their own. Now, after a successful first phase and positive Partner feedback, we’re excited to evolve the program into what it was always meant to be:

a Premier Tier with unique, standout rewards that reflect your impact, consistency, and creative leadership on YouNow.

✨ What’s New: Exclusive Emerald Rewards

Starting July 1st, Emerald Partners will unlock a whole new set of powerful rewards — in addition to everything already listed for Emerald 1, 2, and 3 in the current Partner chart.

  As an Emerald 3 Partner, you'll unlock the ability to create and distribute your very own custom badge — a powerful new tool for building community and rewarding loyalty. Here's what you can do with it:

  • 🎨 Design it yourself, or invite your community to collaborate on the design

  • 🥇 Reward your top supporters with a unique symbol of appreciation

  • 🎁 Use it as a subscriber perk or exclusive event prize

  • 👑 Hand it out once a month to your #1 fan

  • 🔄 Treat it as a floating reward that changes hands over time

  • 🤝 Use it to highlight community leaders, mods, contest winners, or MVPs

  • 📣 Create hype by announcing badge drops during special streams

  You’ll have full control over how it’s used, who gets it, and how often you give it out — it’s yours to wield however best fits your channel vibe and fan engagement goals.

🚀NEW: Duration-Based Bonuses

• 📅 Maintain Emerald 3 for 2 Months:

  YouNow will sponsor your own in-app contest or event! We'll provide custom prize support — including Bars, Pearls, Editor’s Choice spots, Instagram promo videos, and even Merch vouchers — to help you engage your community in fresh, exciting ways.

• 🎁 Maintain Emerald 3 for 3 Months:

  Work directly with our team (including our designers) to create a custom, one-of-a-kind gift just for you. This could be anything — it’s completely personalized to celebrate your unique brand, creativity, and achievements on YouNow.

  
  

💵 Updated Emerald Requirements (Starting July 1)

With these expanded rewards comes a slight adjustment to monthly earnings requirements for each Emerald tier:

Emerald Tier	New Monthly Earnings Requirement
Emerald 1	$500
Emerald 2	$800
Emerald 3	$1,200

⭐ Gold Star Tiers Are Unaffected

Rest assured: Gold Star Levels 1–7 are NOT changing.

Their likes-based structure, rewards, and progression remain exactly as they are.

This expansion is focused solely on Emeralds and is about adding more, not changing what's already working for Gold Star Partners.

📅 Why Now?

The Emerald program was always intended to evolve into something bigger and better — and we’re finally ready to roll out the next phase. You’ve shown us that the demand is there, and we’re committed to growing alongside our most invested Partners.

We hope you enjoy these new tools, features, and bonuses — and we’re just getting started. More exclusive Emerald rewards are already in development for future releases!

Let’s build the future of YouNow together 💚
