 What is Play Now? It is a new revenue stream where you have to do very little extra work that lets you make money reviewing products, games, anything that you make videos about. Let me show you how it works. Do you remember making these videos reviewing What the Fast, a product that helps you reduce latency for gameplay? Every one of you who made videos linked to the product, and I'll show you one of the videos right here, in your description. See? Link to the product. Now let's say I click this link, which I'm about to do, to go to the website, and I buy the product. Does the person who made the video make any money from that purchase? No! Why? Because there's no way for What the Fast to know who to pay. Play Now solves that. We will give you new links in your shiny freedom dashboard, where you'll be able to get all of that revenue when someone clicks your link and gets the product. In the dashboard, I'm showing the dashboard to you. Look behind me. You will have a new tab right here called Play Now, as well as a Play Now section in the left menu, where you can get these products. And then when you make videos about the product, and you put a particular Play Now link that we will give you, not this link, then you will get paid when people click that link. Now it'll still take you to the product website. There is no difference in how it behaves. The only difference is we can now track the click to the person who made the video, or wrote the article on a blog, or however you decide to promote the product. That is what Play Now is all about, and that is coming very soon. We have the integration done with What the Fast. We will have more integrations with many other products in the future. Tell us in the comments below what you want us to get as a deal for you, so that if you've already made videos or want to make videos about a product, you'll be able to add a Play Now link to make money from people who click your link and get the product. Is that cool? Is that a great idea? Are you already doing that in some other way? Tell us in the comments below. Now let's get on to reviewing your channels. I want to start with a very unusual spotlight today, and the spotlight is here. Daily Asgardian News yesterday wrote a comment, actually four hours ago, that said, hey George, I'm new to the Freedom Family. I have 36,000 subscribers, so he's not a small channel. Why am I reviewing a big channel? Because this one will help you small channels grow to become 36,000 subs. So what has he done? That's unique and special. Let me show you. This is his channel, and I'm going to play one video to show you what I mean. Roll it. And for son of own, as long as there is life in my breast, I am running out of things to say. Are you ready? It's terribly well balanced. Well, if there's too much weight, you lose power on the swings. So what is the tip? Comedy! What he does is he takes popular movies and creates unique clips that make people laugh, and then he gets 188,000 views on this particular video in the last five months. And is that allowed? Well, of course, because you're not showing the whole movie. You're showing very short clips, and you're adding your own unique value, music, to make it funny, or skits, or a parody. That is allowed to be done with commercial content. Does that help you to hopefully grow to 36,000 subscribers? Tell me in the comments below. But one tip I have for you daily as Guardian News. Make a channel trailer. Feature those most funny clips that you've done in your videos. Your current channel trailer is just one of your videos. It isn't a channel trailer that tells me what's special about your channel, why I should subscribe, and doesn't show me any clips of your best moments. So try to do that. Here's another great tip by KratosOrianPlays. To help you grow faster, you should do this in your comments on all of your videos. And that is, index the exciting moments with time codes. If you notice, I do that as well. Whenever I launch a video, I write a comment with a time code to index exciting moments in that video. For example, this one. Roll it! 150,000 subscribers. We just crossed 150k subscribers on youtube.com slash freedom. Would you have seen that point in the video if I didn't have this comment? Many of you wouldn't, because it's a long video. It's like 13 minutes. How many of you watch it end to end? Probably very few. And his last comment was talking about reaching the five-card limit. That's exactly what happened at 11.45. Look at that eye up there to visit Elise Talks. Now you notice there is no eye because I ran out of the five limits. So one, two, three, four, five. But look, there is a new one that youtube ads contribute subtitles in CC or English. I did not add this card and clicking it takes me to a section where I can combine, where I can contribute my subtitles. I can type English or whatever language I choose to help add subtitles to this video. How did that get added? That is in the info and settings section of each one of your videos, advanced settings, and then check this box, community contributions allow viewers to contribute subtitles and closed captions. That option right there is what enables that card in your youtube cards. Did you know that? Tell me in the comments below. I have been asking you to send me links to your first videos on youtube, your youtube age, how you were born on youtube, and your best videos to see how much you have grown so we can all learn and grow together. Because that is the spirit of freedom. We help each other grow together as a family. And I want to feature TriGamingHD who sent us his very first video on his first channel followed by one of his newer and better videos on his new channel and he has grown tremendously. Let's see what he's done in his very first video which is right here. Roll it! And that's essentially it. It's a 22nd video published January 29th 2012 a long time ago and let's have a look at his new video that he's improved. Roll it! So he's got an intro now. Apart from another video now today. He uses youtube cards. A little different. We're actually doing a gun game. And he has commentary. So am I going to suck really bad? Yep like that. I know I was going to suck. I knew it. He adds comedy. He's got commentary. A lot more exciting and engaging compared to the 22nd video that he started with. Can you see this in yourself? Have you added commentary or a nice intro or certain effects? Like if you looked at the very beginning he had an after effects. Apart for another video. You see how he brought one transition to the other? Those are the kinds of things that help grow your channel faster because they're eye candy. They're the stuff that make you stand out among the crowd. How many other people do that type of transition at the beginning of their videos? Very very few. In fact I've never seen it before. It's unique. So that'll help you grow faster if you take tips like that. Let's have a look at your channel TryGamingHD. You only have 23 subscribers. Here is your channel. You have nice branding at the top. It's very clear what your name is. You have a Black Ops 3 giveaway from nine months ago as your channel trailer. That's not good. Create a channel trailer that shows everyone what's unique about your channel and answers the question why should I subscribe to your channel. Let's have a look at your playlist. You're showing popular uploads and that's it. You should really have playlists for all the kinds of games you have on your channel. Organize them into playlists so new people can see what you're all about. Put your best videos into a playlist. Put your Call of Duty videos into a playlist or different kinds of Call of Duty videos so we can all see what you have. Hope this helps. The next before and after that we will feature today is by Cajun Tinkerbell who said, okay, okay, okay, I will do the how old I am, my YouTube age. My very first real video was July 2014. Here is the link. I didn't even show my face. One of my favorite videos I have done is this one. So let's look at the first video. Roll it. Okay. I'm getting the elf. So it's an unboxing video. Let's skip ahead. And it looks like you're unboxing a beauty product. Okay, well it's neutral so I probably will. And it was published July 18, 2014. Have you done unboxing videos? Can you see how we can improve this video? My first suggestion is at the very beginning explain exactly what you're unboxing because it starts with snipping and okay. Today we're going to unbox this beauty product. It's from this company. Let's go. Isn't that a better way to start unboxing videos? So for those of you who are doing unboxing videos, introduce the product right away. Now let's look at your latest video, one of your favorites. Roll it. I got hot sauce in my back swag. So you have a very pretty intro. You start the video with a little bit of comedy to catch the audience's attention. Great. Cajun Tinkerbell. Hey stinkers. I remember to actually say it so I wasn't that drunk the other night. You weren't that drunk the other night. Let's have a look at what this video is about. Fire. As I exhale, my stress and fear dissipates with a smoke, leaving beautiful positive energy, creative energy in its place. This image. So this is another unboxing video and it's a lot better than your first one. You show your face, you add comedy, you make every product, you bring it clearly up to the camera. Well done. Keep sending us links down there in the comments below to your first videos and your best videos so I can feature the ones that will help everybody grow together so we can all learn from each other. And I will be making more videos about Play Now as we roll it out. I hope you're excited for this new revenue stream and new way to promote products and get paid when people buy the product after watching your video. And who am I? I am George Sunpai. George Papa George. Many other names that the Freedom Family has given me and I am the CEO and founder of this beautiful wonderful family called Freedom and you've been watching and we will grow together as a family because this is the Freedom Family. You are part of it. We are all part of it and we're all growing together. So grow with us and partner with Freedom.
