The Joys of YouTube & Indie

Today I had the pleasure of learning that UNBROKEN is worthy of a YouTube partnership due to its popularity. This is something that I have been striving for & couldn't be more pleased. However, isn't it strange how they don't tell you exactly how much you will make?

I did quite a bit of (hurried) homework to see the benefits of joining Google AdSense initially, but was then was a bit miffed to learn that:

#1 once you join AdSense, you still need to be approved by YouTube to advertise &

#2 once they allow your advertising opportunity, YouTube AND AdSense take a percentage too.

So in conclusion: I have no idea what UNBROKEN will monetize & I really don't know how much YouTube will take off of that & I really have no way of tracking it or keeping them honest.

I'm sure it's in the fine print somewhere, but for now-I'll settle for being lucky we got the YouTube partnership.

I'm keeping an open mind and hoping the video will make a little money so we can hire someone to help with the web stuff & finish paying for some of the outstanding legal work my wonderful lawyer has done for us.

AND then there's the Ads. Tell us what you think. Are the ads appropriate for the content we have posted? Please visit our Channel: www.youtube.com/cowtownfilmpro
