A request to the community

Blue Blurs for Life!
As a lot of you may know by now, I received an invite from Youtube to earn revenue for my videos by having ads placed in them. In other words, I make money now! *celebrates*

This is the link: www.youtube.com/gamerblake90 + plus you can just click on my sig to go right to the channel.

However, the amount of revenue I get all depends on how popular my videos are. If the view counts aren't impressive at all, the revenue will be very weak...on the other hand, if the counts are great, the revenue will be impressive. As it is, the view counts for my videos are not anything to brag about and my channel has only about four-hundred subscribers. I'm close to having made four-hundred uploads in all my diehard efforts to keep Mortal Kombat alive.

So, given that I have no doubts in this community whatsoever, I hereby make one request...

I'm intending to take advantage of the revenue I'll get, but I cannot do it alone. I really need to get word of my Youtube channel out there to the Mortal Kombat community, extending beyond the boundaries of just the forums. What I simply ask you all to do is spread the knowledge about my channel to any fellow Mortal Kombat lovers that you know, in person or on the Internet, in the hopes that I'll receive more subscribers and thus have higher view counts for my videos.

For an understanding of what elements I cover about Mortal Kombat, I have a thread in the 2D MK Combo Videos section called "GamerBlake90's Video Thread for Mortal Kombat 2011." Go check it to see what my videos cover in regards to the game. I started out as a pure combo artist, but expanded to other areas in the interests of broadening my horizons.

I realize this may be a big request, but you are not expected to do this for any reason. I ask only for the word to be spread, nothing else. If it's too much trouble for you, don't stress yourself. You all have given me enough as it is these days, thus I wish to be able to give back using the revenue I will receive from Youtube itself.

I also would like it if we all could spread the word about the Youtube channels from TylerLantern, Embarq85, TYM, Moar Couch Pl0x, DetroitBalln313 - anyone here on this site who has beasty channels of their own, let's put their words out as well. They're working to entertain us to the best of their ability. I say we reward their efforts.

I'll steal a quote from Shang Tsung in the game's Story Mode...

"Who among you is worthy of this challenge?"

Thanks very much, guys!

I'm currently distributing Christmas/New Year tribute videos for the MK community, hope you all like!

..and a year later, I am bumping this thread since I see no need to make a duplicate.

Anyway, AdSense funds have climbed to almost $50 and it's been over a year now. I'm close to 600 videos and the view counts still are horrid. I don't want to sound like I'm begging, but my YouTube really needs the support of all the MK fanatics if it is to succeed. I'm stepping it up with the uploads once again.

Thanks to everyone who is already supporting me for the work I'm doing. :)

Ayy Lmao
I got that invite from YouTube too, to get revenue for my videos, but I never use it anymore because no one really watches my vids.
 
It'd be so much easier if it would show up in my signature. -___- I have it on there, but it's out of sight and I don't wanna give up Weedo's godlike picture I'm sporting.

Just have the sig itself link to your youtube!! Here's the code to make that happen, just copy/paste it into your sig:

I got this invite from YT a couple years ago but it was on videos that were not my content so I declined.

This is good for you!

GamerBlake90 The best way to earn it, is to upload things that people will want to watch over and over. Match footage, tutorials, and the backlist of your recorded streams sound like something that people could look into.
Could make "best of" cuts and other fun stuff as well.
I have quite the experience in entertainment so if you need help, you know where to find me.

You, sir, are a goddamn motherfucking GENIUS to rule all geniuses. *massive thumbs-up*

I must learn the arts of coding.
 
Hehe glad to help man, just be sure to recenter it!

And by the way, if I can make a suggestion. I think your videos could be OOOODLES better if you had commentary over them. Live commentary, commentary after the fact, whatever. It's just a lot easier to watch with a voice over it. That's how all the other big video game channels do it, and I see no reason for you to not give it a try if you want. Not to say there's anything wrong with the current format, but I'm just mentioning something I think you could do to increase return/regular viewership!

On my stream, commentary is a go. But videos I record directly from my PVR, uhmmmmm...not sure how I can integrate my voice into them.

Me either. No idea how that stuff works. Maybe just have the recording set up separately and merge the audio into your recorded video, but idk if it actually really works that way.
