#SXSW – **YouTube** is using the **SXSW 2010** spotlight to expand its YouTube Partner Program to more indie musicians with a **Musicians Wanted** campaign. Not every artist will be accepted to the program, but starting today YouTube staffers are on the lookout for more d.i.y. and indie artists for the Partner Program so they can profit from what they've already been doing uploading and promoting their videos.

"Our goal in all these partner programs is to help people get to that point where they hear the most beautiful words a creative person can hear, which is ‘You can quit your day job,’ YouTube head of music business development Glenn Brown told [Wired](http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2010/03/sxsw-youtube-launches-partner-program-for-indie-bands/?ref=hypebot.com), “and some of our partners have already done that.”
