Scunnered Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Any YouTubers among us? I've had a wee gaming channel on the go for about 2 months now, hunners of fun. Wife is a vlogger as well, she's much more successful than I am with a few thousand subscribers... I have 50 I'd put off having my own channel for a few years despite being involved in someone else's Gaming Lore channel, if you fancy it, definitely give it a go, the community is luverly and I've met a range of interesting people... Including a Norwegian who talks about sobriety in the same way Peever talks about quislings! Edited November 25, 2015 by Scunnered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I just use it for streaming music to my tv really. And Aberdeen videos when I'm pished and want to get emotional. Although the bairn (7) keeps saying he wants a YouTube channel. I have no idea what he means at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flora MaDonald Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Never even knew you could do such a thing. I do marvel at your IT skills, Comrade Scunnered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Don't know if I'd dignify it with the word 'channel'... but got a couple of music vids on youtube with 20-40k views each. Wish I knew how to make money off it. Though I suspect if people had to part with cash, the vids would have been viewed about six times each.

If it's your own music you'll be able to monetise your videos (allow YouTube to display ads on your videos) and take a cut of the ad money.

thplinth Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Saw a story in the papers about a guy who bought a $5m house in LA down the road from the guy whol sold Minecraft for a couple of billion. This guy films himself playing minecraft and put the videos on youtube. He has made tens of millions of dollars doing this. The world has gone fukking mad. As for minecraft, I am sure there must be something to it as it is so popular but the whole concept baffles me. It sounds more like work than a game. This just compounds the madness of the above.

My kids love Minecraft, having played a fair chunk of it I can definitely see the appeal... There are mods available that add complexity that requires an engineering degree to understand. HOWEVER... When it comes to YouTube and Minecraft, the target audience is usually kids... So aye, they're for the watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So aye, they're for the watching. Ive no idea what the bairn does on it, but I was surprised at the detail that he managed to put into making a darts venue on it. Although his suggestion that the girls will have to go outside and pee because there's only one toilet and it will be full of men that have been drinking beer didn't go down too well with his mum. Seems to gain his attention and concentration levels well though,whether that's a good or bad thing remains to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scunnered Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) According to YouTube analytics, only 26% of my audience is female... Since adding a sexy face cam in my last video it's jumped massively to 27%. Just shows you, sex sells. What a horrible superficial world we live in!

thplinth Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 So is this a money making scheme? If it is your own content I.e. You filming yourself playing a game how many views do you need to make decent money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scunnered Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 So is this a money making scheme? If it is your own content I.e. You filming yourself playing a game how many views do you need to make decent money? Your videos don't get paid per view, but per ad view. So it varies. They generally say that for every 1,000 views the YouTuber will make between $0.60 and $1.00... But it doesn't always work out that way. My most viewed video has 12,000 views and I didn't get a penny as it was a Nintendo game... Nintendo are complicated. It's a hobby rather than a money making scheme.
