 Let's read your deserving comments today, Freedom Family, because yesterday, I didn't get to read your comments. Here is yesterday's video. Click that I in case you didn't see it, where we announced $2.3 million paid to you. The first comment is what I think is the most important one, and I need to get your advice on this. Salaf Pranks wrote a lot of good tips, but the one I want to highlight is here, just a suggestion. If you had a place where freedom partners can see each other, share their videos with each other, send private messages, collaborate, that would make Freedom the number one MCN. Do you want us to create such a site? We already have the forums. Here they are at www.community.tm. Is this not enough? Now there are 80,000 members registered on the forum, so it's a good place to do exactly what was suggested here. Or do you want something more? If you want something more, this is where I need all of your input, we can set up, for example, a new buddy press install. Buddy press install is on top of WordPress, it's a plugin, and it includes things like profiles, settings, groups, private messaging, that was one that you mentioned, friendships and more. Because it's a WordPress plugin, you get all the benefits of all the other WordPress plugins that you can install or the themes. Is that what you want? Do you want a different platform that gives you those types of collaborations? Tell me down there in the comments below. And again, if there's enough demand, we'll do it. You are the boss guys, you tell us what to do, and we just simply listen and act on what you say. Laugh Pranks also made a lot of good suggestions on how to get more views and watch time, and subscribers using their social media, of course, use vidIQ TubeBuddy and other services. Live streaming is key. You should be live streaming at least once a day or every other day. That will help you grow, and Laugh Pranks has channels with two million subscribers, has two or three such channels, so he knows what he's talking about. Create backlinks. Now, this one is new to me as well. Backlinks are indexed by search engines which point towards your video link, and you can search Google for Backlink Generator, there are a lot of them for free. Do you have any experience with backlinks or backlink generators? Tell us down there in the comments below your favorite ones if you do, so we can all help each other grow together as a family, as the spirit of freedom. Add your content to playlists. This seems also effective as I saw most of the people not adding their content to playlists. Do you do that? If not, do it. It'll help. Last but not least, keep content not too long, shorter than 30 minutes, add sufficient tags, good thumbnails, and don't click bait. Use Canva.com, and that's the correct www.canva.com, no S. It's a free website which provides a lot of different templates for your banners, your thumbnails. Thank you for all those suggestions. Beats Clan Live asked a very important question. George, can you please tell us how we know if we are in an affiliate or a managed CMS? The reason this is an important question is, every channel in a managed CMS will not get unlinked on February 20th if they don't meet the 4K 1K rule. They'll still get demonetized, but they won't be removed from a managed CMS. How can you tell which one you're in? Well, if you go to your YouTube channel settings, this page right here, if you see this Remove Access button, you're in an affiliate CMS. A managed CMS doesn't have the button. There's nothing there. What's the difference? A managed CMS is owned and operated by the MCN, in this case, Freedom. Those channels are channels that we either own or have complete confidence that we own the rights to monetizing all of that content. So most of you are an affiliate because most of you are not owned by us and we don't have 100% certainty about the rights for your content. We can't just take your word for it guys. There's only about 200 channels in managed, I believe, and 125,000 in affiliate so you can see the difference. So back to the original question. It shouldn't really matter to you whether you're in managed or affiliate because either way you're going to be demonetized until you pass the 4K 1K rule. So my suggestion is don't even think about that. Just focus on growing your watch time and your subscribers so you stay monetized and part of YPP and Freedom. Beats Clan Live also wrote that he's been with Freedom since November 17th, 2014. That's awesome. You are three years old in Freedom, three years in a few months. And he was saying that he's so close to his subscriber goal of 1,000 but he's still 2,900 hours away from the 4,000 watch hour goal in the last 12 months. That is, in my opinion, one of the hardest pieces to get but I've seen some of you comment that some of you will have the opposite problem. You have more than 4,000 watch hours but very far from the 1,000 subscribers. So back to the original question that I first highlighted. What type of website should we build to help solve both problems or should we use the existing Discord chat server or community forums that we have to do that? I'd love to know. Beats Clan Live also talked about Restream, which allows you to stream on both Twitch and YouTube at the same time. Here is the link, which I will put down there in the description beneath this video so you can easily find it and click it too. Let's just have a quick look. How's it going everyone? My name's Adam and I'm Paul Spong. This is our good friend, EposVox, who has a really good tutorial on Restream.io. Thank you, EposVox. Michael McCrock, that's a cool name, wrote about payments. To be honest, I never actually got paid by freedom while being linked with them as I do not have a PayPal and I'm under 18. That means PayPal won't allow you to receive money. So that made it impossible for me to earn that $4 I worked so hard for. Don't worry, that $4 and for all of you, all the money you've collected that hasn't been paid out is safe in your freedom wallet. And we will pay you as soon as you do give us PayPal or bank wire information if you have more than $100 owing. That's the minimum requirement for getting a bank wire. That will be sent as a catch up. Michael also wrote, I will in fact miss the great opportunities freedom has given me such as the Freedom Academy. Yes, I'm in fact a graduate as the 67th person to complete it. How many of you have done the Freedom Academy? Tell us what you think down there in the comments below. And you don't have to miss that. We will allow everyone to maintain their freedom partnership even if YouTube unlinks you from our CMS on February 20th. That's my promise to you that we will continue to provide as many services as we possibly can. Because we want you to grow to that monetization threshold of 4k 1k. And if you didn't know what that means, click that I. To see the very first video where I talked about the 4k 1k rule and what it means. So don't say goodbye, just continue going even after February 20th. Because we will have a way for you to confirm your partnership in the Freedom Dashboard. That means you will still benefit from everything that we can give you that we're allowed to give you. Even though your channel won't be in our CMS. Michael said he is currently at 538 subscribers and 20,000 views, which is amazing. He loves the Freedom Family. And I hope he hopes his story has inspired us to actually continue even after you get unlinked. What other inspiring stories can you share to help everybody never give up? Share them down there in the comments below. You never know when your story may touch the heart of someone because it relates to their situation and makes them want to keep going and not quit. Please share your stories. SoloQuattro wrote, Yes, I got paid. Thanks George, you look a little nervous. Don't worry, everything is going to be okay. We are here for you, always here as you are here always for us. I see you are concerned about this new rule, but it's okay. Don't worry, be happy and please highlight my comment. There you go. Your comment is literally highlighted. I like this guy's attitude about not worrying so much. These new rules are just that, new rules. We will over time adapt to them and beat the 4K1K, everyone who doesn't give up. So, don't worry, but work hard to reach those goals. Am I wrong? Retro Arcade Machine said, Yes, I got $29 converted to British Pounds, 20 pounds. So I thank you for this and the time that we had together. I'm hoping I hit the subscribe threshold so we continue a great partnership. We'll continue the great partnership even if you don't hit the threshold on Feb 20th. As I said before, we want to keep everybody in freedom that wants to stay even if you do get unlinked by YouTube. King of YouTube guy gave me a riddle. He wrote, In the morning I teach. At night I sleep and in the evening I watch TV. Who am I? I actually don't have a clue. In the morning you teach. At night you sleep and in the evening you watch TV. I'm drawing a blank guys. What do you think the answer is? Tell me down there in the comments below. I mean, I don't think it's a person. That would be too obvious. It could be like the sun, but the sun doesn't watch TV. It could be the moon, but that doesn't teach anything. So yeah, I'm kind of drawing a blank. The second one, is there a first one? He wrote, I've been about two years with freedom every single month I'm growing. Now I have almost 5,000 subscribers. Well done, that's awesome. Thank you for the promotions and sponsorships. You never missed a payment. Even when I earned one cent when I started. I still got it to the PayPal. Insane. One MCN census user's one cent when they earned. That's us guys. We pay you one penny if you earn a penny. And we've done that from day one of freedom back in December 2013. Freedom is special. Keep growing. I wish you all to get 4k, 1k rule over and start earning money for your hard work. On videos. Thank you. That's a very positive comment. Do you have other experiences with freedom that you would like to share with everybody? Share with them or share with us down there in the comments below. Guys, it's 4.59 a.m. I again have to run to help my daughters get ready for school. My oldest daughter, Abby, actually called me at like midnight while I was here in the office. Saying, Daddy, where are you? I feel so bad. So I have to rush off so she doesn't miss me so I can see her off for school. And I'll continue reading comments because there's a lot more to go through. So many of you left so many great comments. I see one video is not enough or at least one video where I have to stop at 5 a.m. is not enough. So who am I? I am Papa George, George that reads your comments. George's son pie. Many other names, you the beautiful freedom family has given me. I'm wearing my big freedom shirt today. I'm George CEO and founder of freedom. Big freedom for freedom and the freedom family. And everything we can do to help each other grow together. We have some special announcement coming about a game that will be available for you to promote. It's an exclusive promotion to freedom only. More on that soon. And we also have a few other surprises. Cooking and that sea thing, which has nothing to do with cooking, is also coming will help you earn revenue even after February 20th, even if you get demonetized by YouTube. In fact, why don't I tell you a little bit more about that since you've had the patience to listen to me all this time. I'm going to reward those of you who are still listening with a few more hints. The sea thing has to do with solving complicated math problems using your computer and getting paid for it. In the same way that we pay YouTube earnings once a month, what kind of math problems can you imagine would help you get money? Yes, I'm serious. We're not solving astronomical computations for NASA. We're actually solving something to do with money. Starts with the sea. Ends in a no. I think some of you should know by now from those tips. Well, tell me down there in the comments below and I'll confirm anything you say or questions you ask in the next video. All right, Freedom Family, I'm George and you've been watching.
