Creators in the YouTube Shorts creator community get access to a YouTube Shorts Community Partner Manager (CPM), who serves as their guide in navigating Shorts.
What is a YouTube Shorts Community Partner Manager?
A YouTube Shorts Community Partner Manager's goal is to educate, uplift and amplify the Shorts creator community – Providing access to opportunities that expand creator connections, guide creators on YouTube and Shorts and empower creators to own their YouTube experience.
These are just a few of the ways that YouTube Shorts CPMs can help creators succeed on YouTube:
- Access to a growing network of inspiring creators
- Regular updates on Shorts best practices, new features and topical tips
- Exclusive invitations to creator/industry events and workshops
- Early access to the latest product features, launches and education on new Shorts features
- Opportunity to share feedback directly with the Shorts team

We know that creators receive many emails about their channel. Here's how you can check that an email is actually from the YouTube team:
- Check the email domain: Make sure that the email is from an @google.com, @youtube.com or @partnerships.withyoutube.com email address. Emails from any other domains that claim to be from YouTube or Google are likely to be fake.
- Check the links: Make sure that the URL of links or forms included in the email end with youtube.com, withgoogle.com, withyoutube.com, youtube.secure.force.com or youtube.force.com.
