chile Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 anyone done this or know any djs that have? id like to eventually try this out for my youtube although i'll be using my old account for this to upload videos with all original loops and footage (to avoid copyright infringement).

chile Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 also do you recon there can be a copyright claim on the samples you use while scratching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 unless you're expecting a million hits a month minimum, it's totally not worth it. you make almost no money... a half decent click ratio will bring perhaps something like 1p/1000 views (unless your audience is, for some reason, more likely to click than normal... which is why those viral videos cater to morons).

I kinda dont want to bother at all sometimes since theres no real insentive other than gratitude (dont get me wrong comments are nice... i just cant sustain myself on them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Think of it like: would you pay 7p to have the ads removed from your vids if they were otherwise forced? 7p is good for nothing - Google won't even pay out until you have £60 in your balance. If you're going to really put your all into tutorials, then why not try and sell them? There's no shame in it. You have to eat, right?

x2k Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Seriously, youtube ads proper piss people off, unless you're making like £50 a week from it or something I don't think it's worth pissing off your viewers for. I've had messages from youtube asking me to enable adsense because I'd reached a certain number of view but unless I was getting 100,000 views per video I would even consider it.

You have to eat, right? well im not talking about 7 pence here really. i want to set something up to get some income over time for the content im otherwise uploading for free. if 7 pense is all i recon i can ever get then i wouldnt have made a discussion out of this in the first place.. instead i'd be outside on the front lines looking for small change people have dropped. and i dont see how i can make anything from selling stuff especially online since people pirate the fuck out of everything these days (and im no exception). it takes one person to upload something and share a link then the whole revenue structures compromised. what makes most sense to me so far is putting everything out for free on youtube and having an option to donate if you liked something and wanted to fund future projects. that along with ads. and Tom i know its annoying to have to click an x button once to close a small window that appears mid way thru a video, but i do it all the time and get along pretty happily. ive never left or seen a comment on someone complaining about an ad, unless its those video ones before the start of the actual content Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Is that analysis based on extensive research though, or just conjecture? Genuine question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 Is that analysis based on extensive research though, or just conjecture? Genuine question. well i dont recon its guesswork to think people will pirate content from a dvd or book online. there are certain forums with dedicated sections for pirating. i kinda think donations are the future. i mean check this site out for prime examples: http://www.kickstart...llison-weiss-ep shes pretty shit imo and got more than enough to fund an EP from donators. this video too was funded entirely by donators using that site http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j98KD5E5KDs and ads to me is just another way of making the best of a situation where people dont give a fuck about donating and i just want to upload content regardless http://youtu.be/dhhaNpL0uzU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I don't think ads are the way to go, mainly because you need thousands and thousands of clicks before you start making any money. Could you not set up a site geared towards teaching people to scratch and try and fund that via donations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 The thing is if you're actually talking about doing this so that it can be a substantial income stream, you can't just have a guess about stuff - and that's what you're doing. If I were you I would sit down with someone who knows a little business strategy and go through what you'd like to do, because I think if you went about this the right way you'd be able to do it sustainably. Kickstarter's not a bad idea but if I were you I would come at it with something a little more than a few videos, especially bearing in mind you can do what you like assuming people like the idea and it gets funded. it's a good habit to get into anyway - working backwards from how much something will actually cost...

chile Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 ive been using adsense a few months now and without any clicks you get about 1 pence per 70 views. my click through rate varies ridiculously but it can be surprisingly high at times so its definately worth it if you can get the traffic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 i get paid for the first time this month for 3 years of adsensing it. £60, FUCK THE HATERS IM RICH NOW! did the math and it works out as a whopping 3 pence a day gained.

Guest rasteri Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 One of my youtube channels has over 3,000,000 views and I've maybe made a grand off it over 4 years. It's no way to make a living unless you churn out popular videos every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
