 In like five. Oh, we're technically live Well, they need to refresh So I need to refresh Yeah, well because there's a delay there's like a 45 second delay, so it's probably gonna start up in like 45 ish The second. Oh, I see it live. You see it live. Yes, I do Spinning wheel. I got spinning wheel than nothing. Well, yeah, I see the live button advertisement. I Should have put something festive on stuff Something like that. Welcome to impulse It's like a big lag behind what we're doing. Yeah, yeah, well, I mean that's that's the nature of live streaming I know it's With YouTube bits around like a minute anywhere from a minute to two minutes. It's crazy So, okay, cool So What's up guys? Hi guys doing nice to see you guys here Aaron did you I mean, yeah, let's go boss. Let's uh, let's let's let you introduce Let's do this. All right freedom family. What is going on? My name is Aaron I'm just you've seen me on the Saturday episodes of impulse I'm the executive producer Wait, wait, Anthony Smith, he just like he just he just screwed up all the webcams by joining us This is this is yeah, he just screwed up every Anthony you left any left What did you do? Awesome. No, that's oh My god There we go Yeah, well anyway, like I said guys on I'm Aaron stuck founder and executive producer of impulse This was a vision I had About a month ago into finding a way to actually get good high-quality production Onto freedom mixing it with the hundred thousand dollar sponsorship and then you get some kind of awesome And results and the funny thing is is we sat here and tried to figure out a good name for this and lo and behold If you go to Google and type synonyms for freedom. The second choice was impulse So we thought that that stuck it sounded nice and we ran with it And then we had a whole bunch of graphic designers creates a nice logo for it and kudos to Marianne Chris and the rest of the GFX team But yeah, we're we're running all cylinders and we gave birth to impulse around the Middle to end of November and then we had to brainstorm a little bit for three weeks to try to figure out the Appropriate staff to get on this the appropriate shows and And then Tiffany that was a fun find. Thank you to Zesty Mike for finding her If you've seen in the descriptions of other videos She's a model slash actress herself. So yes, there's a link to her Facebook page In the description of any other videos. I don't think there's one on this one But actually there might be I just want to ask people in the chat Let let me know How they sound compared to me if I sound a lot louder than them if they're too quiet because I need to adjust things Before I had adjusted things so that when we were both kind of talking the volume levels would kind of reach the same point But people are saying that you guys are too quiet So, you know, just let me know as we go along and I can I can adjust things people want to know which one which one is Potato, it's it's this guy Yeah, Chris Chris is technically We'll call him we'll call him the editor genius. He's the one that created the set Everything graphical that you see anything GFX VFX that you see through any impulse show. That's all Chris He's a mastermind behind it I've heard good things about him and So when I knew that I when I hired him that I would not be disappointed and he's seriously shocked me every episode with something new Something awesome adding to the show and so I'm very happy and grateful that we have more than team So I guess we'll go around we got Larry cuz over here he is the purchasing agent for all you winners out there, so if You guys when you guys are picking your prizes and make saying at your tickets It would not have happened and you would not receive the physical item in your hand if it wasn't for this guy over here So kudos to cuz I already did my introduction to Chris He's the mastermind behind everything you see on the screens and we got Alex Adams over here You've seen him do the Tuesday episodes for YouTube news And he does his own scripts and everything like that. So everything that you see on his shows are purely his design he's the innovator of the YT news show and And Yeah, that's all you got right here that you see on screen. Everybody else is working You know they have other day jobs and all that stuff. So whatever but um Okay, so real quick. I got a seed in the comments. Who is hashtag team Tiffany and who is hashtag team Rick? Oh Oh Challenge and I guess after everyone else has responded we can kind of give her own I don't know if you guys favor one over the other Or bias to one side Yeah, let's see it. I thought it's George. We might do a George add on maybe a little bit later, but yeah Maybe maybe later maybe later right now for yeah good. Um, I just want to let people know that Here on this on YouTube There's there's kind of like a filter for certain bad words so be careful what you type in the chat because Your your comment could get completely blocked because of it And I guess if you spam too many bad words, you might get banned from the chat. It's an automated system Oh, you got a detached them team potato That's actually because a lot of people know know me from MGM so Some team ricks like all Tiffany team Mike, okay We got we got no love for the hashtag team Aaron, but that's totally fine. I really don't care I want you guys to enjoy the success stories from the big youtubers around the YouTube. So But anyway, oh, yeah guys if you have any questions Put them on Twitter at hashtag tea gosh hashtag impulse this We've been using hashtag impulse this for about a week now to put it any questions comments that you have for the show or any of the Youtubers that are gonna be coming on the success stories Per week, but yeah all questions go to hashtag team impulse or gosh I'm reading team crap and the thanks hashtag impulse this for all questions But anyway, I saw a question up top. Did it did it hurt giving birth to impulse? Um, you have no idea I'm still a big mess. I still have to clean up Yeah, well, I mean as as you mentioned before this the whole idea Like we started planning this out like what at least two three weeks before we actually I got a team Aaron go Aaron. Yeah Yeah, everyone like seriously you guys need to give a lot of praise to Aaron because he's he's the dude who like Started this whole initiative. So like impulse would not exist without Aaron So, please send your love to him because you know, we wouldn't have any of this We wouldn't be doing this right now without Aaron. So Some love. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, so anyway, um, yes, let's see if we got any questions up right now And I guess we'll might as well go ahead and say that We're gonna be doing a lot of giveaways. I'm sure you're sitting on there. Well, wait a minute. What about the Christmas giveaways? I Pretty sure it depends upon how long it takes us to answer these Questions, but we're assuming that after every answer that we give you guys We're gonna do a giveaway and the giveaways you guys are wondering what it is actually we put it in the description It's g fuel. It's a tub of g fuel big freaking chunk of g fuel a Three ounce bag of hair. I'll show you let's do it this way. You ready tub of g fuel three ounce bag of Game on snacks beef or bacon jerky of any your choice And Chris added to the mix um a game. We have eight games to give out. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean look It's it's the holiday season I personally want to give back to you guys because you guys are awesome. So I I got eight games on steam You know, it's the holiday sales. So take it. I was taking advantage of that I have eight games to give away throughout the course of this live stream. I guess I'll list off the games We have a portal to a skyrim the Walking Dead season 2 Saints Row 4 hitman absolution Castle Crashers CS go and the Binding of Isaac rebirth So all of those games will be given away at various points throughout this show Beast um, let me look right now see if we got anything I'm slowly going through questions So one of them was how did you meet destiny Mike and Brittany or how did we bring them on board for impulse? okay, um My first vision or my first process through building impulse Staff was I wanted to see all the shows that freedom already was producing and I saw the zesty Mike show and saw a big buzz around it a lot of people like Who he is his personality his shows it's himself the YouTube tips the movie for the filmmaking tips and everything so um I Realized that there was an audience and a following for that and so it's like okay well, that would be a great Elements to be added to the show plus I Want impulse to be completely educational. I want people to learn Not only had a gross successful channel, but maybe even fine-tuned some things They already know and to become pros and experts at certain Ideas and everything so I knew that zesty Mike would be a great fit for that and then Brittany's his girlfriend So I talked to her and she said she's always tried to find a time Place on freedom central to throw her ideas and make her own videos and so when I heard or when we talked and tried to figure out ideas for her show She sold me and was like yeah, let's do on a girl's perspective. It's just real talk pop culture Current events just anything and everything that surrounds our everyday living on a woman's perspective And so she's becoming infectious the audience seems to love her and everything and so I'm very happy that both of them are on the team Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely and I hope you guys have been checking out Mike's film school as well, which is also really cool What's really great about the programming just you know We try to cover a bit of everything So I mean there is a day when Alex is doing you know YouTube news if you're interested in that There is a day for filmmaking school if you dig that and I mean with Brittany. She likes to cover topics that you know That you know, I guess are not really discussed as often as you know What you would expect on YouTube so like the bullying episode that was interesting That's the kind of stuff that you can expect from her, which is really cool Yeah There's a question. I just saw they're wondering if Tiffany was the only person that you talked to as far as a host for impulse no She is our third Crack at being a host We tried Brittany and then she decided that she would have been a better fit to having her own show Which I was totally cool with we tried somebody else and that just didn't work out and then Mike came to me and said I know someone who is a professional. He showed me some YouTube Videos of her doing hosting in the past for other shows or whatnot and when he showed me her Face page or Facebook page. I sold immediately. I was like, okay, let's get her on board. Let's talk to her Let's see what she'll do this and Yeah, she said she was all golden and the script was already written up So she had an idea of what was expected out of her and I had a feeling that since she was a pro That she could improvise certain parts to make it have her own flavor in her own quality and everything and The first episode that I saw the raw footage. I was like, yes, this is the perfect person for this job I was pumped. She was excited to do this after about I think it was two or three episodes that she Recorded she herself knew that this was something that she would enjoy doing and I mean to be honest I mean this goes with a tip for growing your channel You will find more success out of things that you love to do if you're forced to do something You're going to complain about it and moan about it And you're not going to be looking forward to doing it the next day And so if you have that kind of attitude towards anything that you do your end results going to be garbage so You know when you're uploading videos make sure you upload what you enjoy and so whenever she told me she was enjoying Recording these episodes and improving totally the whole entire Scripts for every show. I was sold and was like this is awesome We have a great host and I'm really excited to have her on the team Definitely So I have another question for you guys How does the team come up with ideas for their episodes? And I'm sure it's different for everybody that actually does an episode every day for the impulse show personally Mine's fairly simple. I look up what's happening on YouTube new features New things that they're trying to come up with and I just run them by you guys keeping you guys informed It's really straightforward for me actually How does it go for you Aaron? Well, the funny thing is I ad-lib and improvise a lot so When it comes to the concept itself like who I'm going to go after for the Saturday episodes I actually hand down a lot of my friends who are successful youtubers and Kind of just picked their brains while I'm doing the interview creating questions just on the fly doing whatever But but outside of impulse like when I do When I used to do Cod zombies I used to do Cod zombie tutorials It's more or less what's relevant. I mean Alex with your YT news. It's what's relevant, which is what makes it successful If I uploaded Something that was even three days old on Cod zombies. It would be stale and everybody mad at me and be like dude I've seen this already. This is boring So staying relevant is definitely a very key and important factor Yeah How about you Chris you're like the big editor guy? How do you get your inspiration for these episodes? Well often I like to ask people to include Notes so I mean most of the time the people creating the episode will tell me okay These are the clips that I want featured Sometimes I need to improvise so I mean like in a lot of your episodes Alex like whenever you were talking about like a New feature or something with like you know content ID or the gifts what I would do is I would actually use like OBS to Record myself actually going through the actions that you're describing and then just kind of put that in back a lot of it Is just kind of you know digging for resources online on YouTube And just playing around with things until until they work so Yeah I see Yeah, what about you cuz How does yeah, how does that work for purchasing products? What the inspiration of the video yeah the inspiration how do you find your inspiration to push that enter button when applying that invoice It's like a kid in the candy store I can't wait to see that person open that gift where there's a monitor the beef jerky The G for any kind of stuff make me happy these people were actually happy to be with freedom Right. Yeah, and that's something that we're gonna try to do in the near future is Create maybe like a montage or throw in in the middle of the shows The winners reactions whenever they receive their product I want you guys to record and be like this is what I got from impulse. Thank you guys so much now Mike for the recording my videos are going to be at a top-notch rate I can drink some G feel while I'm creating my videos or gaming or you know, whatever I we just want to see reaction videos. We're gonna post those probably later Probably starting obviously in our first quarter 2015 One question we'll do one more question. They'll do a giveaway because we've been answering a lot of questions One question that I saw in here, which Chris you're gonna love this one How do you get all the time to wait hold on first off this is from Arctic Um, how do you get all the time to edit impulse in such high quality? Um, I would say not having a life helps That's that's basically the truth Well, I mean, I want a patience. I work full time. So I mean, yeah, it's a lot of patience It's a lot of work This this you know, these first two weeks There's definitely been a learning curve because the first I would say five six episodes took a lot longer to produce than this past week because I was actually doing something which in retrospect was kind of dumb Which is I was editing all the episodes from a to Z Directly in After Effects, which is a very painful process So now what I do for people to kind of get an idea of how long it takes Typically people will send me the footage and then what I'll do is I'll do the chroma king so If and sometimes, you know, if I if I modify a set then I need to re-render the entire set So you'll have like screens in the background with videos So I'll need to render that that will typically take like an hour and a half and then I Chroma key the person in front of the screen and then I color correct them Depending on how Well, they shot their footage if it's complicated that could like just a chroma king could take like an extra half hour to an hour Then rendering every segment takes about two and a half hours So typically when that's going on I'm sleeping that's when I'm sleeping and then I come back to the computer I take all of the pieces and I go into Sony Vegas and I just chop it all up put into you know where it belongs I'm adding all the elements and Overall it could take anywhere from like seven to fourteen fifteen hours to edit an episode So So another where he's a machine Yeah And then it's like when the episode is done like my job is not done because then I have to upload and then I'm watching YouTube Do you know to see if the processing of the videos, you know, okay? Looking to see if you know if I can catch any mistakes Sometimes mistakes, you know show through and then when the video is public. It's like I can't really do anything about it anymore, but Yeah, it's a long process Yeah, and we also we record on a how are we at now 72 to 3 to our lag So like we have episodes already done Yeah, so I Mean we try to be as ahead of schedule as possible some because because we're such a large team sometimes It's really hard to you know be ahead of schedule because like every single episode you have Segments from Tiffany you have segments from you know the the I guess guest host who's talking about their subject And then you have like a Rick segment and so that's like ever for every single day I'm depending on like three people to send in their footage on time And so if one person is late that delays the entire production So it's really hard to keep you know ahead of schedule, but because we're taking a few days off for the holidays I'm gonna try to tackle like a bunch of episodes to hopefully You know just kind of alleviate some of some of the daily stress of like okay It's it's you know six o'clock in the morning and I've been editing for ten hours straight To get this done soon Yeah, okay, cool If we're doing time. Oh, yeah, I'm gonna switch over to the give away graphic You know so I guess you guys will see it on the on the stream and yeah, it'll be like two minutes when it catches up Yeah, 170 people watching Yes, we do So what are we giving away for like the show? Oh, yeah Okay, so giving away tubs of G fuel somebody asked this in the chat. We're giving away three ounce bag of beef jerky We're giving away Tub of G fuel of any choice. Yeah, there's any flavor you want There's like what seven flavors or six flavors of G fuel and tons of flavors of bacon or beef jerky and we're giving away What's our first game? Um, I Let's let's start with the walking dead season two And a copy of the walking dead season two on steam, right? Yeah. Yeah, how's gonna work for for the games? Is if you win then you can send me a PM to my youtube channel. You can just search achromat A C H R O MAT so just send me a private message be like, yo, I won this thing I'm gonna be writing down the names of the winners So like if you didn't win don't try scamming me out of a game because I'll know And yeah Okay, so how are we gonna do this? Should we do a Question about the prior shows Should we do pick a number between one and three hundred or? Well, how many people are watching us right now? 175 177. Yeah. Yeah, 177. Oh six. Is that is that I think Zach? Yeah, Zach Dalton's in the house Yeah, he's just like earlier So Zach Dalton Okay guys Zach Dalton who does monday episodes for game reviews is in the chat. So everybody say, how does that? Oh, yeah, um, there are so many people I'm afraid that if we do like a randomized thing we could we could try okay Let's we'll do kind of like the test To just kind of see if this works Um, because we have a hundred and seventy-ish people Okay, so this is this is the way we did an mgn and I want everyone to listen closely and to respect these rules So I'm gonna ask you guys in about a second to write a number between One and 170. Okay. I'm gonna choose a random number. Now. You're only allowed To post one number. Okay If after like two minutes, no one has posted the correct number Then we start again But only post one number if you post more than one number you're disqualified I see people post some numbers right now. It's not it's not no not now. Okay. Look at them all Okay, so once again, it's gonna be a number between actually let's do one and 180 now because we're at 180 people This is for let's do it now do it now walking dead season two write a number between one and 180 one number And I'm thinking of the number in my mind I put hashtag grandma in there Chris put it Just so we can help you look out for it Oh Yep. Yeah Uh Better hurry up. They're going. I know I can't because if I open up the chat, it's gonna screw up all the webcams Oh, yay. Oh really? Yeah, it's okay. I'll look out for it Say it in french Okay Almost at 200 people now Dude, you better you had to have seen it by now So quick is so many numbers Yeah, I'm seeing like 10 numbers at a time and I swear I've seen at least 120 different numbers. Okay. No, I I saw someone who who wrote it Are you saw him? Yeah Here's the winner. The winner is okay. So the winner is um, well, I chose the number 145 and the winner is the gassed bro Yeah I guess bro Um, so the gassed bro just send me a p.m To my channel once again, which is acromat And um, and yeah, so congratulations to them jugs jugs times jugs get that on jugs Wait, are we are we also is it two separate giveaways?

It's gonna be a little longer to do just uh for process reasons But after that we'll just be flying on all cylinders That's right, okay Switching back to some questions. Yeah. Do some questions. Um, this is a good one I mean, it's basic. Uh, thomas ponzo asks what is your best youtube tip? Uh, is there anyone who wants to start? Alex you want that one? Um, best youtube tip I'm assuming to grow your channel successfully Yeah, um I'd say Collaboration is probably the biggest one if you've got all the basic stuff down like, you know how to brand your channel You're putting out content regularly I think collaboration is Something a lot of people overlook and if you can match up with a new audience Via another youtuber that's About the same size as you you're gonna reach a whole bunch of people that otherwise may not have actually seen your content and Yeah, I think I think we need some more collaboration on youtube. I think that's gonna be a Best way to actually I think that's one of the best tips to grow your channel Um, I don't know where I read this, but it's been proven audio I've read this one. That's where I read audio is the most important Feature or quality of a successful video Um, sure perfectly good examples, uh, market player. Yes, he's funny, but let's be honest He's got that radio voice. Oh my god. Yeah That you could seriously not watch anything on his screen and you could just close your eyes and just listen to him talk And you'd be like, yes, I will listen to every freaking video that you upload like from this point forward and I've seen twitch streamers Tom or what's his name? Tim the toolman taylor or whatever the freak his name is tap man. Come on. Tim the tap man Yeah, he's uh, he's a youtuber. He's not that big on youtube, but he's gigantic on twitch Um, he has about what three to four thousand people watching him constantly on an everyday basis He has the radio voice if you have a radio voice You could seriously produce so-so Content and you still will blow up and have a successful channel audio is so important It's so ridiculously important. So to be honest If you have all the basics, I would invest first into a microphone Um snowballs cost 40 or 50 dollars, right? Um, mike's microphone. I think was maybe around there that he uses. I forget which one it was I have a blue yeti. I'm just hanging up Right up there That cost me 109 dollars. So it's a little bit on the expensive side, but it is worth every penny Directional microphone just google directional professional microphone and you will find Microphones that will help you out and buy one based on your budget, but it is the most important Quality when it comes to your videos Uh, I guess one thing before I get to my answer I just want to confirm that the gaspro has contacted me Um, so awesome, dude, uh for my tip because i'm a graphic designer I always like I really kind of push this your branding needs to be Really really solid. So your icon your banner your thumbnails need to be really solid Why because I mean kind of like with the other points, you know with the with your audio with your video Um, you're only as strong as your weakest link And you only have like a few seconds to make that first impression So if someone's coming to your channel and you don't have strong branding Well, then they're gonna go well, okay Well, if if the banner doesn't look great and the icon doesn't look great How much time are they actually investing in their videos? Am I really gonna you know spend my time checking out their content taking a risk? You know if if their branding isn't fantastic So that's why you guys should take advantage of the forums go on the forums. There are tons of artists who are offering their services For free or for a few bucks Talk to them Really you need to be really strict what I tell people is send in a very detailed request You guys should know what you want already you have, you know the vision You should like when you create your youtube channel You should have kind of a direction You should have a target audience and just you should know what you're uploading to your channel So just communicate all of that with a graphic designer Don't be afraid to be specific. The worst thing you could say is do what you want this be very specific and Just be very critical about what what work they produce Make sure that they that the graphic designers you contact have a portfolio And it's just like the stronger your branding really that that helps a ton Cool cool Is it that time again? Hey before you get in before you do that Aaron one of the guys want to know if you're stealing payments from 1960 Fans, yes, no you're stealing fan. They said it's old. No, I know It's 1960. It's 1990. You got to get it right. I actually grew up with this kind of a fan It tells you how old I am Actually, yeah and all that too, but anyway Um What was I gonna say? For as much as I find cheap and most effective ways to grow your channel on youtube I find cheap and effective ways to install ceiling fans use ones that your grandparents have that they're throwing away Very true Because honestly all it's doing is circulating air in the room I mean I could do this if I wanted to but then my arms would get tired, but It doesn't matter it works. That's all it matters, but yeah, awesome. I'm glad the guys love my my fan But anyway, it's that time again Yes, yes. Yes. Yes Which means I need to go and switch to the graphic. Yes Okay, cool. So um once again for those who are not with us Basically how it works is you get to post one number and one number only Um between one and we'll say 170 So I'm gonna pick and uh before you guys start Um, should we do another game or should we just are we always just going to do one game and then one tub of Yeah, okay, cool.

We have eight more to go And you know, I've just I picked two high numbers the next one might be a low number One thing I want to um talk about before we go because I actually have to do go a little early I have a Christmas party to go to um Is a lot of people are Talking about the new rules So if any of you guys saw that new rules video with tiff and explaining How we're picking winners now, um I mean Let's be honest here. We do read the comments. We we understand that there needs to be a new system We've we've tried to really figure this out and we've discussed this for like weeks and weeks and weeks Um And so the system was generated first off like we need to have a tangible winner We we can no longer just say hey, guess what? You gave a great tip But yet, um, maybe you only have two subs and I've uploaded two videos And so it's just like well really that is a great tip But have you even practiced it on your own terms? Is it really affecting you? Have you yourself seen growth? So we kind of need to put that into perspective too. So uh Whenever we now um award the first grand prize winner It's going to be based off of on a daily basis the last seven days of organic viewership And again, don't viewbot. We know how to find it. It's really easy to find Based on your growth. We can just check your videos out and it's just it's way too easy But to be honest, let's think about this guys, um And and another thing too. I've seen in the comments Some guys are saying I have a bigger organic growth than the winner did and then I look at his channel and it's 7 000 subs This 100 000 sponsorship is for people with um under 100 under a thousand subs It's for small guys if you have 7 000 subs, you're probably generating maybe three or four thousand views per day Which means you yourself can get your own sponsorship. So like um, I've talked to one of two of these people in the comments put in um, go to your freedom dashboard and Go to sponsorships and there should be an apply form there go ahead and fill it out and We'll get you taken care of because you yourself can get a sponsorship based on your channel but for the little guys under a thousand subs, um, that's what the 100 000 sponsorship is for and um We want to reward people who are tangibly growing if you are learning and you're using the tactics that everyone Is saying And you're applying it to your channel Then you should get rewarded if you've actually seen organic growth, you know what I mean? It just makes perfect sense and then same with sunday. That's for the whole month and the whole month is a lot harder to grow Or um, and consistently keep that growth going and going and going all throughout the whole entire month So that's why there's a bigger prize For the sundays, um But for the runners up think about this too. Um I've seen in the comments of people complaining. Um, or we won't say complaining. We'll say, um, our little irritated that um They see the same old cookie cutter comment, you know, this is how you grow your channel thumbnails good content good, um Good audio good thumbnails blah blah blah. It's the same redundant stuff blah blah blah over and over and over again Here's the thing what if somebody said to you hey, guess what I know Is everything going okay Alex, uh, I guess he Lost him. Yeah, we lost him So I switched to a new graphic just so I wouldn't look wonky on the on the webcams, but I'll keep going okay, cool, um Let's think about this guys if I was to tell you thumbnails or like I just said earlier audio Is very important. It is one of the biggest important factors of growing a successful channel And then I gave you a link to one of my videos in which I actually used my yeti And I produced we'll say a thousand views in a week But yet I showed you in a previous video that I used my uh microphone off my webcam So we have crappy audio We have professional audio and then the audio or the video with the webcam mic only generated 100 views But yet the one with yeti generated a thousand views But technically it's the same concept that say they're both zombie cod zombies tutorials Both relevant to Nowadays of whatever DLCs out then that proves that what I'm saying in the comments that audio is very important Actually works because of my experience and what I've done So that's why we've changed the concept of the people who Should win now the runners-up prizes Should be those people that are saying hey, guess what here's a youtube tip This is why it works because I've seen it done on my channel and here's proof to it You can either do video links. You could do screenshots You got to provide proof and I don't want to hear proof Of my channel has 300 subs. Thus everything I say in the comments means I am legit Nope Sorry, that doesn't work like you got to give an actual Proof an actual screenshot an actual video link to whatever tip you're talking about that way it It volitifies it. It makes it valid. It makes it Concrete and tangible into your explanation So that's why we changed it if we figure that that is the way that it'll be fair to the people who win Because not only are they being the teacher They're actually going up to the chalkboard in a sense or nowadays. There's no chalkboards of the marker board or whatever the Frick is called and they're actually showing you you know Um Two plus two equals four instead of saying hey guys you guys get sweat two plus two is four Believe me because I know what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah Uh, I guess just some more examples because I mean we really want you guys to start utilizing or start for To start formatting your your comments in this new way. So let's say let's let's take an example Let's say if I were commenting Uh, one of the tips would I mean you could talk about something like uh, let's say trying to anticipate What people want trying to tap into markets that are That are in high in demand yet don't have much coverage because anyway, we always talk about you know oversaturation it's I mean There are certain games that a lot of people cover that you know The videos won't do super well because there are like hundreds of thousands of people who are also covering the same kinds of content On my personal vfx channel. Okay. I love doctor who I'm a doctor who not I do intro recreations There are like six people Who do intro recreations? I did a tutorial on how to make your own doctor who intro and that tutorial has 23 000 views And so that's because I knew that there was a market I knew that there was demand and so if I were if I were to do leave the tip I would just kind of explain, you know, just like, okay We'll try to tap into new markets that are in demand that don't have a large supply Here's an example of a video that I produced In which I knew that there was a demand because doctor who is one of like the the biggest sci-fi show on tv right now There are not many people who do graphics for that and you know, here's my example You can see the views you can see the results Um other examples that have been posted by people in the chat already Um This week I saw like super cool, uh, dude. I think it was Screenwave studios. Um, he was talking about collaborating with Doing an interview with one of the actors from video game high school, right? Yeah, exactly So he was like he formatted it perfectly. It's like, oh, I'm gonna talk about collaboration I did an interview with a guy who played like I think brian d in video game high school Sure enough his interview has over 20 000 views Um, there's another guy who was talking about uploading to community channels to basically do cross promotion You you know, you you upload your stuff to a community channel where your stuff gets exposed to a new audience Sure enough that video on the community channel has over 100 000 views So, um, yeah, like erin said, we want you guys to leave tips But also provide proof of the application of said tip to show that it works and to show how it has affected Your channel growth Right and another thing I just thought of Um, since we're taking the week off. Did we announce that yet? Uh, I mentioned it kind of casually before But like verbally we didn't really announce it. Okay. Um, we're taking the week off. It's the holiday guys Um, so we're doing a little bit of santa ho ho Christmas gifts to everybody here with all these giveaways Um We're taking the week off, um for the holidays Um, we're going to regroup. We're going to apply the new rules effective meeting on tuesday not monday because Um, monday is going to finish out the last part of the old ways and tuesday is going to start the new ways But what I want you guys to do Um, don't do it now because you're still watching But at some point today, I want you to go back through all the videos And see what your youtube tip is or just make a brand new comment And apply the new rules because we're going to go back and we're going to check out from the most recent all the way back to the beginning So starting the most recent the one that was done on sunday the um finding things around your house to improve the audio Yay, i'm crooked. Yeah, I know i'm fixing there's a delay okay, okay, sorry, um But I want you guys to go back to those videos make your normal youtube tip that you normally do But I want to see the proof prove to us that what you're saying You have experience on so then that way we can pick you and you'd be a great eligible candidate for the runners up It just makes perfect sense Um and actually it's for grand prize too. I think grand. Yeah, it's for both but um What was I going to say and also make sure you use a tip for the topic as well? I mean, I'm assuming I was doing that too. That's another thing is um A lot of you guys are saying hey, I left an awesome tip and I never got The grand prize or whatever Make sure you hit all three categories. You got to be super active in the comments Super active could be five comments. It could be 10 comments You tell me what you think super active means two comment on the topic of the video And don't say impulse is awesome. That's not a topic of the video Or I love impulse or hashtag teen tiffani or whatever like if it's about collaborations talk about what you think about Mike's discussing collaborations. Yeah And three put in your youtube tip making sure you have proof of whatever you're talking about is legit If you guys follow those three things then there should be no worries at all about you guys being picked as a grand prize winner I mean the grand prize winners obviously based back off of organic growth again Alex But um, but for runners up at least definitely that is you know, what you guys need to do for that You got two people in one. All right. Let's do one more giveaway and then I gotta go I actually I think I might have an idea for the giveaways. What if we asked um What if we gave them to the people who who submitted the who submit the best questions on impulse this Can we just kind of like go through? Twitter and like the people who submit the best questions Um, we'll get the prize is would that be a more fair system? Um, let's do this.

We just have alex's face Yeah Uh, cool. So, um, I don't know if the um And now suddenly alex's face got larger I guess it's just like no, I think it's just skype adjusting like it took a few seconds Um, I don't know if uh, erin addressed the Um, like the 1000 views per month thingy Um, a lot of a lot of people were kind of freaking out About that because I know like a lot of people are like you guys don't care for the small channels Uh, we do what 1000 views per month is not much. I know 1000 like sounds really Intimidating, but if you do the math that's that's 33 views per day Um, I know some of you guys, you know are only getting a few views per video and you really feel stuck. That's why Um, I encourage you guys to go check out all of our tips videos on freedom central Because most of the time, you know, if you're just kind of having a hard time launching your channel Then that's the time to kind of look at things like your branding kind of pay attention to what kinds of content you're uploading because it could be um, you know, like there's there's so much Over saturation for certain types of content on youtube that um, like a lot of people they like to do Minecraft let's plays that's really difficult to kind of Get popular doing because there's there's so much competition There are already like so many big established youtubers that it's like in order to be competitive You really have to have like a really strong personality and you really have to have like amazing video and amazing audio So um, just kind of check out what kinds of content you're producing Make sure that you know if you do like let's plays at the games that you're choosing they're relevant They're things that people are actively searching out that you're not like You know covering a game that came out like five years ago that no one's really That no one cares really about anymore Once again, check your branding check your thumbnails check your titles. Make sure you're using tags And I mean 33 views per day should not be Super difficult my personal channel. I haven't uploaded anything in like six months And I'm still getting like 4k views per day and I think that's thanks to You know creating smart content that people are researching all the time and strong branding So I believe in you guys you guys can do it Um, is anyone checking me uh the twitter right now I wish I could I'm looking at the chat You're you're looking at the youtube on twitter.

Yeah, but um, I mean there's definitely going to be other programming Yeah, we're only a couple weeks into impulse and I mean It's been going really well so far and I'm sure we can take what we've learned from this show and Push it towards other shows that we'll be producing and I'm sure you guys have noticed george's videos where he's uh He's claiming that the next george show will be like the ellen show and it'll have like that kind of equality to it So, um I'm sure once that like studio space gets built out.

Initially, I wanted to do a Like a live graphics Demonstration what I'll probably end up doing Is making a separate video or potentially in the near future a separate live stream on freedom Just kind of going over how to create effective thumbnails how to create, you know an effective banner icon yada yada yada and I'll be choosing people in the chat To create assets for so I'll choose like one person per stream One or two people and then just kind of ask them what they need Just kind of go over the process and how you submit a request to a graphic designer and then I'll I'll produce What they need? Let's see Do we have any questions Wiggles is still asking me about potato and mesh, um, merchandise. Yes, uh, I think that was one of my The internet connection was cutting out on mgn. Um, actually one of the people who was in the chat Right now, I don't know if he's still in the chat um Basically, you'll see if you see a northern whisper ASMR That's uh, that's ben who works um with me over at mgn And because my nickname a lot of people call me potato a lot of people call him mesh and so we're known together as like potato and mesh and um, I mean because we work together so often people Have created like fan merchandise stores Um, and I guess they're asking us to create merchandise. I don't know. Maybe one day. Um, Honestly, we'll demand it. Yeah, exactly with with impulse. It's not it's not really a priority But I mean you guys if the demand's there uh, definitely Yeah, um, so, uh, Adam Oh go ahead. No, sorry. I cut you off. Alex go for it. Oh Um, I saw a question. Uh, what do you do for fun outside of making youtube videos? So I guess personally for me, it's either just like hanging out watching Netflix playing I'll admit I play world of warcraft from time to time Uh, especially since the new expansion came out. So there's that but Kind of getting out of it now that it's kind of slowly getting boring but you know, uh, and I'll play legal legends from time to time as well, but Outside of that, there's not really like much gaming in my life. Um, Yeah, so nothing too nothing too exciting Um, I would say yeah, pretty much the same thing gaming. Um, or I'll try working on Something fun. That's graphics related. So, um, I tend to do some 3d modeling from time to time And, um, sorry for I'm trying to adjust webcams and whatnot and kind of failing. Um Oh This is this must be really fun for people watching the stream right now going what the heck is going on Now they see his cousin's forehead I'm adjusting this on the fly. Oh, actually I'm because I'm adding myself. It's going to screw people up again Oh, this is this is just so much fun. You guys are probably like, what a nice look at that. Yeah It's it's because okay one of the major downsides to these live applications is they don't have like webcam integration like for skype And it's really annoying. And so what I'm doing is I have to manually do like window selections for people And but like if if skype moves them around like if someone joins a call like anthony smith before then it just kind of screws everything up And uh, yeah, so, uh, let's look at this this Beautifulness, which is a really horrid composition Yeah, I'll I'll try fixing things. I don't know if there are any more questions in the meanwhile Uh, let me see here Well, we'll have to before you guys continue while you're looking for answer or question. I'm sorry I gotta say what you guys do on the side and uh, I have a family So I'm busy with my family besides that I'm a big Advanced warfare player. So I do play that basically every night if I can Nice So how do you like it compared to the other call of duties? When when I first played it I did not like it But I decided to go back to ghost to see how it was and I'm thinking actually it is pretty good because it is fast pace And ghost and everything else is so much slower. So it is a good game overall Nice nice Cool, I guess, uh, we'll do another giveaway. Um, you had me behind chris Yeah, okay. So right now We I have I have three more games to give away. I have portal 2 CS go and the binding of isaac Uh, let's go with the binding of isaac. So, um, we're gonna do one more time on youtube. So, um, just do a hashtag Who is george?

I don't know rusty dog Then again, it's kind of unfair because like if you're chosen then people are gonna be like it's it's rigged You've you've jinxed yourself rusty dog You might win. I'm choosing it randomly Okay Okay, so so many. Yeah um, it's going to be Sorry, I'm gonna I have to choose again because The the chat scrolled so quickly. I didn't see it's gonna be uh ender pro games So, uh ender pro games, um, you have won the binding of isaac Uh, you can just contact me on my youtube channel akramat Again, I've said it like a billion times, but just in case new people are coming in So just contact me say yo, what's up?

Um Okay, so, um, michael minor Uh at michael gaming 26 asks, um, what is your the favorite your favorite video that you have ever made since starting youtube? So what is like the the I guess best your most favorite video that you've ever produced? Um Yeah, that is a really good question I think my most proudest work is Uh when I started breaking into 3d effects So because I'm such a doctor who not whenever I did my like first doctor who intro sequence like that's like Probably the like my favorite thing and that video has like 15k views. I'm like really proud of that Um, yeah, I'm gonna have to go with that What about you guys? Um, I would say what was that? What was that? Oh, I wasn't sure that was oh my god, just regard that that was just a thing. They thought that was pretty funny, I guess I don't know. I would say like probably one of my impulse ones like one of the first two I'd say the psi one was pretty good. Um Uh Yeah, I I don't know I'd say like the more recent stuff is always better just because of like upgrades and quality and stuff like that but I don't really have like a specific video outside of that that I think is just like my favorite I'm just kind of looking through but It is a good question because I did Sponsorship videos every single day So I don't I don't think Yeah, I'll say my impulse impulse videos. Those are great. Cool What about you cuz do you do have you ever produced any videos? Uh, I do not Okay, do you have not yet at least I haven't I do a channel but it's empty Um at ryan phoenix asks are all the giveaways you're doing going to be steam giveaways? Well, it's they're kind of combo packs So you get a game and you also get the choice of like some g-fuel and some jerky So, um, there's kind of like these nice little bundles. It's not just one thing in these bundles Um, here's here's something for the guys out there, too I'm kind of curious now that we've kind of changed up the prizes a little bit I want to see what people think of with the new ones we added to it, which would be the monitor um the g-fuel the jerky and also of course, um The dx racer chair Let's see what you guys like We also have other things like um, I guess we can explain some of the other stuff So we got um envious host, which I believe is one year like a minecraft server for an entire year Paid if I'm not mistaken. If ever I am mistaken, please, um, correct me because um Also, we have uh pro kits which they design controller and um and console cases So I guess for transportation of your consoles and your controllers. That's freaking sweet Uh, we also have uh explet, which is how long is the the license for? Uh, so three years, I think I believe so. Yeah, so like three years of explet Um, and I feel like we're missing sense controller Yes, so those are what those are custom controllers Yes, sweet So yeah, if you guys are console gamers and you guys want custom controllers That is also a really cool option So, um, basically you get to customize your own controller and uh, and we get it for you, which is pretty freaking sweet Um, so yeah, I think I don't know if I had Uh asked this question someone was asking if we're gonna be offering a photoshop for freedom members It's something I mean any network would kind of dream to to be able to offer the adobe Like master suite to people. Um, it is a really expensive program though So, I don't know. I don't know. I I I I I I'm not I'm not I'm not the sponsorships guys. So I don't know. Um If that's even possible, I guess anything's possible but um Yeah, I guess we would have to look into that. I don't know Somebody was asking where they want to buy g fuel. So you guys know it's uh g fuel dot com if you're curious Uh Cubby zola asks, um, I guess he's new to freedom because he says hey, what is impulse Uh impulse is basically a daily show where we cover different topics That range from, you know youtube news to tips on helping you how to film Make, you know films. Um, we do tech reviews. We do game reviews. We do a little bit of everything And uh, so I mean we want the show to be informative We have a new host every single day of the week or guest host and uh, and so yeah, you could check us out We already have like two weeks worth of episodes up and attached to that We have what we call the $100,000 sponsorship Um in which we choose uh three winners per day We choose three people uh in the comments section who are you know helping people out who are leaving tips To the community and kind of backing up, you know And documenting the growth of their own channels. We just kind of recognize their efforts and help them out With equipment. Um, so that they can uh further help their channel grow So, um Yeah, let's see if we can find one more question before doing another giveaway Uh, are there any questions you guys are seeing on the youtube's? i'm looking Somebody's uh, I'm not sure if this question was asked earlier or not But somebody would want to know what we use to record impulse What we use for sound maybe maybe for sound i'm not sure what they're asking. Uh, Um, because everyone has their own like camera microphone setup. I don't know. What do you use? Uh, Alex? Um, for my setup. I have a canon t4i Uh, just standard lens. I'm hoping to upgrade it after christmas. Um, and I have the funds to do so But uh, that's what I use and then I just use, um I guess a lavalier microphone that hooks up directly with the camera just to make it easy and Uh, the the sound quality isn't bad. Um, I also have Uh, like for my other videos that are outside of impulse. I'll use my Samson co1u microphone, which is a condenser microphone. That's fairly cheap on amazon. Um, I don't know Specific price range it is now. I picked it up for 80 bucks a few years ago So I'm sure it's dropped in price uh since then but uh, it's a great microphone usb Uh directly into your computer. It's it's really easy to use and uh great quality. So that's what I use Uh, I see that ender pro games is freaking out going. What's the channel again? I don't know who to send my private message to so I just typed it in the chat It's my channel acromat People in the chat you guys can help out if ever someone's asking a question that you know the answer to Um, pardon me. Uh, feel free to just you know, answer the question help them out Um, so yes, uh nemesis Chidro, I guess I says impulse if I have more than 1000 google followers and 900 subscribers. Can I be verified on youtube? um through our network Through I mean your network through a network. I don't know what you mean by that But I mean for for youtube verification. I think like it It requires a lot Right elix like um, so we used to be able to request verification uh through the network YouTube was doing that for a while. They let us pick channels that we felt were like deserving and if they met a certain requirement of like a thousand Uh followers on google plus for the page that was associated with the channel And then they needed like 500 or a thousand subscribers to the channel itself But uh since then they've actually ended up changing the the rules in regards to being verified on youtube to Us not really being able to request uh specific channels for verification I think we can Ask them to look into a channel and if they feel that it deserves to be verified then they can go that way um, I Uh, I would say the biggest thing they look at is How many followers or people have you circled on your google plus page? That's associated with your youtube channel, and then they'll look at your subscriber count On the channel itself. So if you have solid numbers for both of those a few thousand for each um Your chances are fairly good. Um So yeah, just keep in mind a lot of people forget about the google plus page thing They always focus on how large their youtube channel is itself and that is a good thing to focus on but Uh with google they they like to see Their their google plus pushed forward. So I would Take a look at your page to make sure it's doing well. If not adjust for that. Um Yeah, uh someone was asking if um A slash back prodigy asks can youtube tip videos be proof of growth of channel If you're not talking about, you know tip videos that other people have made No, it has to be proof like of stuff like on your channel obviously because that's how you prove You know that your own channel has grown Um, so you can't just write a comment like collaboration is important And i'm going to link you to a video that someone else did to kind of talk about why um, no what we want is Basically, um, like let's say you you talk about collaboration that you give concrete examples of how you've applied Collaboration how you've you know, just kind of give a really in-depth Um kind of discussion on what you've done Um, how you've tackled the subject of collaboration if you've if you've made any collaborations and um, how Uh, how well those videos did if you saw any impact any results One of the things that I wanted to kind of mention before When um, erin was just kind of going over some of the new rules is what we're going to be looking for now is a lot of people They like to just kind of I don't want to say like spam a comment with like 12 tips But um, it ironically a lot of people they'll say, uh, they'll give us a tip quality over quantity We're going to be looking for the same thing now for in in in your tips on you know in your comments Um, it's it's going to be more effective to leave one really in-depth tip Then to just kind of give like submit 12 tips and just be like tip number one collaborate tip number two Effective branding tip number three, you know, just kind of choose one go really in depth and you'll have a way better chance If you you know provide something that's really engaging engaging And encourages discussion. Um, you'll have a way better chance of winning that way Um, okay, cool. So we'll do one more giveaway the uh, actually yes the before last giveaway I'm going to be giving away portal two So, uh, if you'd like to win portal two now, we're switching it back to twitter.

Mm-hmm All right, um, okay I'm gonna pull everything up real quick Yeah, that's what I thought Um, yeah chris is the one with all of the the keys and stuff That he'll have to Give that stuff out, um So I guess let's answer a few questions while we're trying to get things set up again um How do I answer the giveaway and is it for partners only? Uh, so this this live stream the giveaway is just for anybody that's watching and participating We're in the the christmas spirit here at freedom. So you don't necessarily have to be a partner, but um Let me hope you'll you'll be a partner someday. Let's see Let's get some questions going guys How do you get freedom points? um, so the idea behind freedom points is if you're participating in the the freedom community, so posting on forums Etc etc as long as you're participating on freedom Um, it's still in beta It's I'm sure it's gonna be more of a thing once we launch the new version of the dashboard To the public right now. We're still testing that as well um so Keep your eyes out for that as we move into 2015 and we kind of migrate over to The better version of the dashboard, uh, so that was in 2012 January of 2012 I decided to start my own gaming network on youtube and at the time Uh, there weren't like a ton of networks out there. I mean machinima was still like the big dog Tgn was just starting to take off as well um and I just kind of wanted to get into the space and I felt like I had a lot to offer I had Uh back in college. I had a couple friends that we had a youtube channel that had like Over 10,000 subscribers. Uh, I think this was 2009 or no not 2009 2010 um, and we got signed a machinima and the experience that I had with them was not my favorite So I thought you know what? I think we can do this in a better way And so that was when necessary gaming was born and Uh, yeah, it was it was pretty successful. And then we moved over to freedom in uh December of 2013 And yeah, it's been it's been great Question how old am I? I am 24 Yeah How do I know if I'm properly partnered? Um So if you go to your youtube Dashboard, I guess they call it the creator studio now um In the left hand column I think you click you'll click channel and then go to status and features that should be the first one that pops up anyway and then you'll see Uh, your partner status. So if it says you're partnered with mcn freedom um Then you're good. You're partnered and your channel is in the cms Has your hair always looked the way it does. No, that is that is not true at all I started when I was with freedom in the beginning I had like the whole buzz cut thing going on and then now it's kind of more grown out Um, if you go back to my earlier videos, you'll know what I'm talking about It's a lot different Where is the other guy says trusty steve? Chris I he was the one giving out the keys. Uh, he's got the keys to the kingdom or the games. Um And we're just waiting on him to connect his internet. I guess died or something Um, so yeah, that's that's chris and we're just we're just waiting to see if he can get back on to our call real quick Before we can give out more stuff um Why do you have to have a thousand subscribers to join mcn? Uh, because mcn is kind of a premium partnership you get 95% revenue share. Uh, that's not really a common thing. We try to offer that to partners with a thousand subscribers and a thousand views uh per day, so uh, that's a really good Partnership to have especially with just a thousand subscribers. I mean that's like a really a great offer for channels that size So that's kind of what we're sticking to Um, am I in the Philippines right now? Uh, freedom is based in the Philippines. I Am not based in the Philippines as of right now. I might head over there Check it out for a month or so and see how it goes. Um But yeah, I'm in I'm in the united states Uh West coast Uh, yeah, I think so. Yeah, uh, can you throw it in the skype chat? No, chris is not in the Philippines.

Um It's like something I call the microwave of doom Which is it sound it's dumb But whenever someone uses the microwave at my place, it just shuts down the entire internet And yeah, and for the live stream I put a big message on the microwave saying like no one is to touch the microwave between these hours And so no one has used it. So when the internet's crashed, it's like, okay, what the heck is this? And uh, we think it's it's probably the weather that's taken down Like a station somewhere. Um, yeah That's fun. Uh, so sorry guys. Um Once again, this could this could have happened at any moment this could this could have happened, you know During the 16 hour wait period, but no it happened.

I mean I don't know what that was Um, all right, let's get some questions going again Uh, how is Christmas going? It it's I am assuming it will go well. That's uh, How do you collect funds or money after being partnered with freedom? So if you're partnered with freedom make sure your skype or your skype your paypal is entered into your account on the dashboard and then Uh, you will be paid on a two-month delay See the shadow king draw Let's please tell me what I can use to record my laptop screen Um, so X split is a great Program for that. Uh, we offer a free Uh trial and then if you do a review video on your experience with X split you get An extended trial of X split premium. Uh, it's if you want to ever try that one out also obs Open broadcast system, I'm assuming. Uh, it's an open source software. That's free. That's uh, you can also try to Record your screen. Those are both great Tools for that or fraps fraps can be a little resource heavy. Um, if your Uh, laptop isn't that great. Um in terms of like technical hardware limitations, but Those were I would recommend I don't know if this was um answered adam daria asks. Um, what do you guys use for thumbnails? If that wasn't answered, um I use photoshop because that's By far the strongest tool on the market and what i'm the most familiar with I don't really think anyone Uses anything else unless unless you don't have photoshop, then I guess most people use like microsoft paint or Uh, one of those free You know photoshop Like clone programs online. Yeah, like I think gimp is one of them. Yeah gimp As far as I know most people use photoshop. Uh, it seems to be the best one out there Um, let's see Yeah, I guys be sure to submit questions to um at impulse this Uh Snapshot edits made a pretty sweet collage Of photos. Whoa, this is crazy. You feel like the impulse logo You wrote hope I win This is actually a pretty sweet like fan art Nice, um Let's say impulse is amazing awesome So yeah guys, I guess I guess like the last few questions until Maybe we we hang our hats for the day Yeah, how many We have left, uh, we we have one more we have for, uh Counter strike Counter strike. Oh, yeah. Yeah, let's get some more just a few more questions And then we'll wrap it up with a final giveaway for you guys Um Seen a lot of the same questions Yeah, definitely, uh, just kind of returning to old questions. I know a lot of people are asking Uh, okay. James tech 20 says can you make a video about how to make How you make impulse maybe how to do the virtual sets and edit and everything Yeah, eventually I'd like to tackle that so what I do for the virtual set or what I've done is I use um I typically I use blender pretty much for everything although I'm gonna have to switch programs soon because Um, for some reason blender doesn't really like amd graphics cards Uh, so I'm still like cpu rendering which is taking forever Just like whatever I render the set so I just like I I model it I construct it Then I render it and the rendering usually takes like two hours and a half But I render at like a 4k resolution. So Um, but that's like a cpu render. So I'm probably going to switch to cinema 4d Maybe build a new set. I'll see if I can maybe import the old set into it And uh, hopefully I can get my gpu You know, but blender is cool because it's free and I I typically like to do tutorials with blender because You know, obviously you're gonna reach the most people if you give them A means to do awesome things on zero dollars Yeah, yeah, so eventually I'll do like a behind the scenes video Things sweet. Yeah Um There's one here. I don't know if you saw this one Alex. It's probably this would be for you Someone was asking how do you get paid when you don't have a paypal account? Um, so paypal is our primary source of payment. Um, Generally, it's the only method we try to use Uh, in extreme cases, I would I'm not really not sure what people or what our our team is using outside of paypal So I would ask the support team put in a ticket if it's possible Ask if it's possible to be paid outside of paypal. I'm not really sure if we are doing that or not Um, I like how Aragorn is trying to help us Answer some of these questions. I guess or maybe yesterday Because I'm seeing a lot of Aragorn tweets. Oh, yeah Um Sue When is the gamma lab sponsorship happening? So somebody Uh, I guess it earlier, but they didn't see I guess Yeah, that would have been a good question Erin was here. I don't know if you have any details on that cousin, but I guess just keep your eyes out for a video. We know you guys will know as well Yeah, I mean technically it's it's in place. We have Uh, the discount to get you know A 10% off the product Um, but I think it's gonna be I believe I have to check the dashboard Um, but I believe we have to set it up in there But I know that's been pretty much as far as I know it's been basically a done deal Sweet. Yeah, so guys just keep your eyes out for an announcement video. Yep Uh, it's working with george in freedom a good experience Absolutely horrible. I mean I've ever worked with by far. Uh, no, it's it's great. I mean, we wouldn't be here if it was a bad experience Yeah, exactly to work with Um Why didn't you guys make a look back series on the channel spotlight? I'm not sure what you mean, but We do have a channel spotlight show Yes, you can see the baldy brothers every day Mm-hmm Questions from twitter Uh, what is the best $500 pc? Well, I guess that comes down to preference If you're doing gaming, you know, I would check out I think text syndicate just put out a video on how to build a $400 gaming pc if you're on a budget So definitely check them out um They usually put out builds every year on the best stuff to uh put together in terms of Putting together together like a budget gaming pc. So Yeah, absolutely if look if your budget's $500 and you want something to play games on like You have no other option than to build your own pc Um, because I mean just like regular standard computers that are pre-built like start Ish around that range um So like if you really want bank for your buck, you have to build it yourself If you've never done it before I mean, I guess it can be daunting. I the computer that i'm using right now. I built it myself um Yes, I had a way bigger budget than $500 but still is like I spent probably like half the day like 12 hours just stressing out like oh if I put this processor in incorrectly And there's like $400 out the door, but um, it's definitely like yeah most bank for buck. That's That's the way you got to do it Another question When is the optimal time to upload and how often? So for that, I would say If you use google analytics for your youtube channel, you can see When people are engaging the most on your videos and depending on that Uh, you should use kind of that as like a reference for when you should post videos Consistently so for like freedom Our best time of the day to publish is 11 a.m There's like a giant uptick in the amount of people coming to the youtube channel Or engaging with it at that time during the day 11 am pst So that's what we try to aim for it's why our our videos are usually scheduled within a few hours of that timeframe, so Use I would say use analytics to base When you should upload and then as far as how often you should upload that really comes down to what you're doing. I would say Just be consistent with what you're uploading. So that subscribers know what to expect from the channel I see one here somebody asked one earlier and it's probably the same question I've heard a couple times asking what mics do we use? I use the astro headset and when I'm not using that I use the uh, blue yeti microphone Uh, yeah, uh pretty much same here. Well, I mean I use the blue yeti From my microphone needs Alex. Yeah, um Blue yeti and the snowball are great. Um, I hear a lot of people recommend those microphones. I personally use A samson ceo 1u condenser microphone plugs in via usb. I've had it for I want to say like almost five years now and it hasn't let me down. So it's a great microphone. It's probably like 50 bucks maybe less on amazon if you want to go take a look. I'm really not sure but I got it a few years ago for $80 So I'm sure it's come down in price nice I know that everything samson is is um, is pretty good. Um might have mentioned this before but um Ben who who was in the chat before works from jen. He's uh, he's in charge of voice acting for skywind and um, one of the mics that he's always like telling people to get as the samson go mic Which I think is like 40 ish dollars On amazon and that's like all you need. Um, so honestly, you can get away with a lot if you know how to Clean up your audio Afterwards after you've recorded it So like if before recording you do like four seconds of silence To capture like the ambient noise and then you take that to like audacity and just do like a some like noise filtering Like you could you can make a decent microphone sound really good For sure. Yeah Cool. Uh, do we want to do our last giveaway? Yeah, let's do our last giveaway and then we'll probably wrap it up after that So this is the last giveaway. Um of the evening.
