    Yeah - Vimeo seems to be my only other option here, although I'm a little unsure as to how it would work exactly. How does using Vimeo for Patreon differ from just uploading an unlisted YouTube video and linking it to my Patrons?

    Wow! That's actually an incredible difference... damn. I really love the warm/cold colours, it creates such an intriguing/mystifying atmosphere - literally the exact sort of thing I would want in my videos. Definitely given me some great ideas man, thank you!! :rofl: God knows how it would...

    Wow... What the f*ck. I had no idea that doing a video on a specific product gave a CPM THAT high. That's incredible. I can only imagine what some of these kids' toy channels are getting. Thanks for this info @Fox! As for re-investing back into production: 100% yes. I don't intend on...

    Great ideas! Already have the name in credits benefit for all of my Patron tiers. And then those who are on the £5, £10 tiers get early access to new videos. I'm looking at a more efficient way of uploading the early screenings for the videos as opposed to doing it on an unlisted YouTube...

    Oh, amazing idea by the way Jonathan!! I 100% have the intentions of starting up a second channel once the work-load has eased off with this first channel, and I'm confident that I can handle two channels. For now I was planning on releasing these 'behind the scenes' and 'editing tutorial'...

    This is also on my radar, and I'm starting to self-educate myself on defamation laws and such. Also in the process of getting my insurance for this - just in case! Again, I do somewhat rely on the fact that YouTube has been cluttered with videos that talk about celebrities, businesses, and...

    It's a fair concern to have! I'm slowly starting to adapt my content so that less and less move clips are used, and are instead replaced with animation (and hopefully down the line) 3D models/graphics using Cinema4D (the YT channel Lemmino does this beautifully). With that being said - I'm...

    Saw this!! I think Brian did a pretty good breakdown to be honest - much of the stuff he brought up reflects what I have been talking about on this thread, so big props to him.

    @Envision Just wanted to say thank you so much for this post. I remember printing out the first post you made on this thread and reading it like a bible when I was working as a customer service assistant, and at a call centre, then later as an estate agent. Every time I was on my lunch breaks...

    Yup! This was pretty much my line of thinking as well, hoping to register the company by today or tomorrow, and currently searching for which bank I want to open the business account with (ideally one without fees), let me know if you have any recommendations @RazorCut

    I actually need to make a revision on that update. I've just been doing a little more digging, and there's a lot of misleading and conflicting answers to this, but what seems to be the most plausible explanation is you are paid depending on what the advertiser’s goal was. If they were running...

    Honestly, thank YOU for supporting me - I sound like a broken record saying this but you can't imagine how much it means to me!! Yeah, you should have seen my parent's reaction when I told them how much I earnt... they were blown away and overjoyed to hear it. Such an amazing feeling to see...

    Damn... I'd been watching Matt's videos on and off for a while now, but that's crazy to put into perspective. I think I've said this countless timesbefore, but it just feels so surreal to me. Right now, editing videos is my only form of normality amongst everything that's going on :rofl:.

    There's definitely a lot of strategies/advice that I have right now, but I'm trying to validate it all through my channel first. I would definitely recommend posting out higher quality videos to most channels. In the current ecosystem of social media, where people just pump out content...

    Yup - can confirm that I'm now working to produce higher-quality videos on the back of all the positive feedback I've gotten. Whereas before I would end my days playing a video game, or doing some YouTube binging - I'm now watching videos on Premiere Pro and After Effects to help me learn new...

    Interesting stuff!! Thank you for sharing, Mario - it's definitely good to hear from the perspective of someone who's been in the "YouTube game" for longer. And I can certainly agree with you. YouTube can be such a powerful tool for branding, and you never know what could happen. My Fake...

    Ah, yes - I'm familiar with socialblade! I can confidently say that social blade's estimates on a channel's earnings are VERY inaccurate (at least on my part). I don't know what calculations they're making to get their figures, but the earnings of every channel vary so much that it's damn near...
