    How Do You Convince A Business Owner That Just Because The Marketing Is Digital...Doesn't Mean It Should be free?

    MARKETING 
    You deal with them by NOT dealing with them. Seriously, move on. True biz people understand there is value in time and expertise - regardless the industry or product. I don't pay a plumber $100/hr to fix a toilet. I'm paying for the years of experience that ensures it is done right the first...

    YouTube's recent TOS change - a perfect example of Control

    HOT! MINDSET 
    No - that is NOT what this means. You still need 1,000 subs and 4,000 watch hours to be in the partner program (monetized). What this means is that YT may put ads on content uploaded by creators that are NOT members of the partner program. It is an example of CONTROL. YT controls their...

    YouTube's recent TOS change - a perfect example of Control

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Some good arguments are being made that YT can't/won't throw ads on all content. And that they might even work to avoid ASMR and similar content as they recognize the negative impact on the viewer experience could lead to loss of viewers across the platform. I have a monetized channel and...

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    Wasn't there an monolith in the beginning of 2001 a Space Odyssey? Are we the apes learning to use tools as weapons in the eyes of some more advanced species? OMG - this is so much fun.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Again, it was not my intention to start a thread on YouTube's biz practices but this comment brings up an interesting side bar question. To what extent are we as consumers willing to put up with advertising in order to have "free" content regardless the platform? I find the question all the...

    I wonder if they're going to start buying their own power plants?

    You earn zero ad revenue below those thresholds. Some folks make money through sponsorships, affiliate marketing and selling from their channel even from very small channels.

    INTRO 
    Welcome P789. Have you actually read the books or just seen the summaries? I ask because your intro says you watched the summaries but nothing about reading the books. If you haven't read the books, I highly encourage you to do so. There are many important nuances that are never properly...

    I haven't heard anything about making it harder to get in the partner program. As for time to get started...if it's part of your strategy, then yes you should get moving forward. Starting a channel is technically very easy. But learning how to create content, thumbnails and titles that...

    Yes, that is a possibility. Savvy biz competitor could buy ads to be placed on competing providers/channels. Sounds like an interesting new opportunity for a tech smart Fastlaner to take advantage of.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    YouTube (YT) recently provided us with a perfect example of what happens to people using something they don't control. YouTube recently posted an update to their Terms of Service (TOS) stating that they were going to place ads on channels that did not yet qualify for the "Partner" program...

    A wee overdue introduction

    INTRO 
    Thank you for finally introducing yourself ants. Like you, I was a life long slow lane driver. I try to make myself feel better by saying at least I was never on the side walk...for what good that does. This can be a challenging thing to do for those of us so engrained in the Script. But it...

    Hang in there and keep up the great work. In time, success will become your addiction. While you still need to control it, at least success has more positive potential outcomes.

    If You're Doing This, You're Fooling Yourself That You're an Independent Thinker

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I'm a big fan of your threads and the importance of independent thought. BUT - trusting your gut can be dangerous if you haven't also done some research and spent time thinking. Our world is full of people who trusted their gut with divergent ends. We frequently learn of those who met with...

    I've finally quit gaming.

    MINDSET 
    Congrats on a big step. I was never caught up in the gaming addiction. I did enjoy playing every once and awhile and can understand how it can become an addiction. Now you're playing for real and man is it a lot of fun.

    Can someone please advice me on what to do?

    MINDSET 
    As was previously noted, it is not unusual to feel lost early on. Not everyone is fortunate enough to know what they want to do right out of the gate. Even some of us that think we know what we want to do are frequently overwhelmed by how or the path we should follow. You've had some good...

    Welcome to the forum and Fastlane world Carrick. After you finish TMF make sure you visit the "I read TMF" thread and drop a comment. That will add the chevron to your name so we all know you've finished and have reason to understand some of the language we use. I look forward to your success.

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Perfectly understandable to NOT share too many details. I'm sure between your knowledge and contacts you have, you'll figure out how to put the pieces in places. Best of good fortune as you move forward.
