Each month we will be pulling out the terms with the highest opportunity for additional earnings to share with you. For video, this "opportunity score" is out of 100 and is based off of calculations that take into account search volume, search success, existing supply, and earnings potential. For audio, we are highlighting categories and terms that are currently in high demand and are being prioritized for approval in our library. See below for the current lists and some helpful FAQs!
