Listen to the story
YouTube has launched a new shopping service in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
The service is part of a partnership between YouTube and Amazon.
It allows content creators to earn money when their viewers buy products.
This type of program is known as an affiliate marketing program.
In affiliate marketing, creators share links to products in their videos.
When a viewer clicks a link and buys something, the creator earns a commission.
A commission is a small percentage of the sale price.
The report says the program first started for creators in Saudi Arabia.
Now it has expanded to two more countries, Egypt and the UAE.
This gives more creators in the region a chance to earn extra income.
It also helps Amazon reach more shoppers through popular YouTube videos.
Many content creators already promote products in their videos.
This new tool makes it easier for them to earn money directly from those recommendations.
The partnership shows how online platforms are connecting video content with e-commerce.
E-commerce means buying and selling products online.
More companies are now working with video platforms this way.
This trend is growing across the Middle East.
It could change how creators make money from their content in the future.
