 Emily, I'm here with my daughter, Abby, in Dubai to answer your questions. Ask anything, not just about Dubai, about freedom, about partnership, about YouTube, about life. This is your time and my very first live stream on this channel. So let me check the channel. Excuse me, Evee. We are trying to do a live stream to make sure that we actually are live. And here I am looking at my channel and we are live. So my daughter will help me, will help the chat. So any questions you ask, she will tell me. In the meantime, when we run out of questions, I will look at the comments and answer those. So we see Moab plays. Hi, George. Hi, Moab. That's the very first comment. Then Intel Gaming said second. And who said third? Well, what do I need to do? You need to move this over so we could see the chat. Okay. So here's the chat. And now you have to tell me if there's any questions. So Moab plays says I'm still getting paid somehow and I don't have 1k or 4k. What's up with that? Well, if you're getting paid, that means you are earning revenue as a recruiter, perhaps. Maybe you recruited some channels and you're still getting paid for that. You may have a channel in our network. We don't just send out money because we're, because we feel good about everything. So best thing is to email support at freedom.tm. Any other questions, Evee? So David E3, email support at freedom.tm more than likely you were unlinked. Unlinking means your channel was too small and YouTube unlinked you. That's most likely the reason you're not getting paid. Or you could have a bad PayPal email or something else wrong with your payment method. Next question. Transport in West London. Hello. Next question. The CruzywayJays says how's it going, George? It's going well. I'm here with painting of some character I don't recognize in Dubai. Hey yo, says psycho numpty. Diamond man, George, something going wrong with the live stream. Well, it looks to be fine to me. I don't have the audio on, but I'm assuming you can hear me okay. Otherwise, the audio will feed back through this microphone. Let me know if the audio is okay. So he'll please, he'll said live stream seems fine on my end. That's great. Now guys, I can also show you around this place. This is where I'm living in Dubai for the next few days. And I will be moving on Sunday. Ghost Khan Studio. If I want to get sponsored, how can I get it? What do you mean by sponsorship? Do you mean the sponsor button that YouTube is giving some people to support monthly donations? Or do you mean sponsorship through a company? Please ask in more detail. David E3, just email support at freedom.tm. There's also a link in the shiny freedom dashboard. You can see it on the left side. If you sign in at www.freedom.tm. Diamond man said there's a water park in Dubai and it looks nice. We haven't been there yet, but I think Abby will now be asking me to go see it. Captain Master said I'm an Italian partner since 2015. Can you please explain to me how do content creators earn from YouTube red premium? That's when someone is paying $10 a month to subscribe to YouTube red. If they watch your videos, you get a percentage of that $10 each month. So let's say I'm paying $10 for YouTube red and half of the videos I watch are your videos. Then half of that $10 goes to you. It's just based on how many videos everyone watches to get a piece of that $10. Does that make sense? Risk 4 acre. Is it a good idea? Is it good to take a break? Is it good to take a break from YouTube? If you need a break, yes. Otherwise, don't take a break because your audience will go away and it'll be very hard to rebuild it if you take a long break. Ciali Productions asked, do I really have to get 4,000 watch hours? Yes. The new requirement since February 20th, 2018 this year is that you have to have a thousand subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time in the last 12 months, which means 11 hours a day just in order to apply for partnership with a network like Freedom. That's the minimum. Yes, Abby? Is this the correct number? No, that's H-O-R-S, but he just missed the U. Abby was asking if H-O-R-S is the proper spelling of hours. Do you have any tips at Intel Gaming? Well, what is the fastest way to grow on YouTube? That's a trivia question. It's collaboration, working with other creators. So my tip would be find someone of similar size and make a video together or do playlist for playlist. That's not sub for sub. Playlist for playlist is a healthy and white hat way to grow. Sub for sub is not allowed. It can get you terminated if you do it. Does Freedom have Italian partners? Why yes, we do. I don't know any off the top of my head, but we have partners from every major country in the world. And if you email support at freedom.tm, I'm sure they can connect you with another Italian partner of similar size. Mido Professional Channel in Arabic asked, is this your daughter? Yes, it is. She is my eight-year-old daughter, my oldest of four daughters who three of which are with me here in Dubai. Abby, I need to scroll down to see the rest of the questions. Dong Ko said, hello from Germany. How do you say hello from Germany? I think that means goodbye. I'm sorry, those are the only two phrases I know in German. Dankeschönes, thank you, I'm told. So Mr. Klass said, I'm with you Freedom last week, and I got a message from Freedom that told me download videos. I'm 1,000 sub and 200 K views. I'm not sure what that means, but maybe if you can explain a little bit better. Kurdish media said, what is the problem with YouTube monetization? Since November, I have been waiting to monetize my channel. Even the channel has reached 25,000 hours and 5,000 subscribers. That does sound unusual. Kurdish media, it's possible YouTube has demonetized your channel for a different reason. So I would encourage you to email Freedom, sorry, support at freedom.tm for us to have a look at your specific case. Huchaz said, I want to create videos, but I don't know how to make them or what to make them on. A good place to get inspiration is go to our community site, www.community.tm, where you can meet other people, introduce yourself, and see what everyone else is making videos about. I'm sure that will give you inspiration, Huchaz, to help you make videos yourself. How do I join Freedom? My AdSense is disabled for the last year. That you have to get fixed with AdSense first. You have to have them re-enable your account or just create a new YouTube channel. Sometimes that is faster. AdSense typically disables channels that they detect, like you clicking your own ads or some other activity that they deem to be bad. So you first have to get it fixed with AdSense. Sadly, we don't have any connection with the AdSense team, only with the YouTube team. So David E3, if it says you're under review, then you are under review. But if you have another question, just email support at freedom.tm. Diamond man, George, I have coice that used to live in, I think cousin, that used to live in Dubai. And when I asked them how long of a plane ride, they said they had to go to all these different places just to get to upstate New York. I don't know what the plane path or the travel path is from New York, but from Manila, it's a direct flight. We had one plane that goes from Manila to Dubai International Airport. Intel gaming says, hey, I've always wanted to join freedom, but YouTube always does updates when I'm just about to join. But as soon as I can, I will join freedom. Well, thank you Intel gaming. That's awesome to hear. X-Razer plays. Hi, George. Hi, X-Razer plays. Sorry, Abby. Mount Dude. Mount Gamer, sorry. Dude, I had 10k views before this new rule and YouTube didn't view my channel. I'm not sure what you mean by YouTube didn't view your channel. If you mean YouTube didn't unlink your channel, that's great. Blaze to be honest. BlazeTBH asks, Freedom, I'm wondering how to hit a viral video. Well, you just have to find a topic that you think people will share. The trick to going viral is just to be current and follow what's trending. And there's a chance your video may get picked up. It's very hard to make a viral video and there's no recipe for it except some guidelines like I just described. George, when I log into Freedom and when I go to my dashboard, it says I'm under review. Okay, so wait till you get reviewed. Beto El Curioso said, Beto El Curioso said, Hi, George. If I do videos similar to others but in different language using the same topic or maybe similar speech but obviously in my native language, could that be a copyright issue? If you're creating original content inspired by others, no. If you're copying other people's videos and simply adding your own voiceover, yes. So it's a very, in my opinion, simple distinction. Don't copy other people's content. Make your own and it's okay to make content similar to others as long as you make it yourself. Mount Gamer, I had 10 K views. Oh, I think I'm repeating. I'm repeating people's comments or they're copying and pasting their comments. I'm not sure. Avi, you're not doing a good job of telling me what the next question I have to look at it myself. Gizzle goo. If I join Freedom, will the videos I made before joining Freedom be monetized? Yes. If you join Freedom, we will monetize all of your videos, including your past videos. Psychonumpty said, can there be an opportunity where we can play games and not get a copyright claim as I'm live streaming games, as that has been a problem for me? I can't risk playing games with getting a copyright claim. That's the question right there. You would only get copyright claims if there is something to copyright claim against like music. Are you playing any music in the background? Does the game you're playing have commercial music that you need to mute? For example, Grand Theft Auto 5 has a radio that has commercial music that if you include in your live stream will get a copyright match. So make sure you remove any commercial music from your live stream and you'll be okay. It's totally fine to play games to live stream playing. Yes? What are you guys going to do another KYC? Ellie Animations asked. Actually, I have a lot of material for the next Know Your Channel episode. I haven't made it yet because I don't have a good editing room. I still need to put together a recording studio here in Dubai. Otherwise, I'm just going to be making videos like this on my webcam or sorry, on my cell phone or my vlogging camera which I want to have at least a green screen. I don't feel comfortable making videos without a green screen. Wait, but if I want to make a video I can't play my account because we don't have a green screen. Well, a green screen just makes it look better because you can cut out your background and you can put yourself into the video. Is that your daughter on screen? And if so, would you give something something? Yes, this is my daughter on the screen. I'm saving for a new setup PC and I think once I'm done and built, I could possibly grow to 500. Yeah, that's very true. But remember, it's not so much about your content is about your personality. The personality is what gives your So blaze2bh asked a good question. How do I get more watch hours? Start live streaming. Live streaming will increase your watch hours considerably because every minute someone is watching your video, they're the same. So live stream regularly to get higher watch hours and reach that 4k minimum just to be able to monetize your videos or join a network like Freedom. Mr. Clasks asks, do you want to have an Arabic translator? We would love to do a freedom Arabic. Abby, I need to hold my cell phone. If you're volunteering to do translation for us, please email support to do some Arabic translation. I think we need to translate our freedom dashboard to Arabic if I'm not mistaken. Captain Master asks, does the CPM grow if a channel has more subscribers use? No, the CPM grows if the people who are watching your video are in high CPM countries. So for example, if your audience is from the US and you're from India, that's okay, you're making US CPM. If you're in India and your audience is in India, then you have low CPM and just getting more subscribers and views does not change your CPM, but it does give you more money, obviously, because you're getting more views. Hope this helps. Poocha's asks, how do I get a higher revenue share? Simply email support at freedom.tm and ask and justify it as well. Give a reason why you believe you deserve a higher revenue share and our support team will get back to you. Sabri Jamal, help me on how to write an appeal form. Please, George, just add context. If you're appealing a channel closure, just explain why you feel your channel was closed. Any permission or good behavior you've done, so in case YouTube misunderstood or didn't know the context, then you need to explain it and they may change their mind. Can you get music from NCS? I would encourage you not to. I encourage you to get music from the places we know are safe. I don't believe NCS is safe. I believe NCS music may be safe on their own channel, but I don't believe they have full permission to give everyone the same license to use music from NCS. If you do, just be aware that you may be using music and you're not getting the permission from the artist. All the music that we have, we signed a blanket license to give every freedom partner the right to use the music so we can give you a guarantee that that is safe. Kurdish media HD, could you explain some benefits and make a difference between freedom and ad sense, please? Simply go to www.freedom.tm and look at the two columns. If you scroll down on our website, you'll see on the left side what ad sense gives you and on the right side what freedom gives you in addition to ad sense. That's exactly why we created our website in that way so everyone can see the benefits of joining freedom. Okay, I think I'm falling behind on questions, so let me just try to get to the latest question. YouTube refused my appeal 100 times. Well, maybe because they don't agree to give them additional context, something new for them to change their mind. You can't just repeat the same appeal over and over again. Yes, Evee? I'm going to watch. No, you can't watch Eve. I'm trying to do a live stream. Oh my girls, they love to use the computer to watch Minecraft videos and how to make slime videos and they don't really understand the concept of working to make money yet. Girls, please, daddy is trying to do a live stream to answer people's questions. And I want to help, but Evee's sitting. I cannot reach her mouth. Would freedom monetize a streamer that AFK streams? Again, freedom doesn't monetize. It's YouTube that monetizes and freedom is a network, an MCN on YouTube. So your question is, would YouTube monetize a streamer that AFK streams? Yes, but you probably wouldn't get many viewers so you won't make much money because if you're away from the keyboard, you're not interacting with your audience and the whole point of a live stream is to interact with your audience, not to play a video on repeat over and over. Yes, Evee? I'm seeing double, but I quit drinking over 20 years ago. I think he's seeing two people or maybe me. I'm not sure what you mean. You have to be more specific. How did it mess up? Is my audio broken? Is the video broken? Is it laggy? Please explain why I fix it. I think it's... Parthi Update said, Hi George, I'm a big fan of you from India. Oh, thank you Parthi. I appreciate the support. All right, let's catch up. I was reading some older comments. Base Rebels. NCS owns the rights to the songs the same as our record label and all our music is protected on YouTube's back-end content ID. It's impossible for anyone to copyright claim our music, so it's safe to use. Great. Again, my concern is for all the other music on NCS because it represents music from many artists. Each artist has to give permission, guys, not just one or two. So just be careful. You are using music with full permission. Otherwise, you do run the risk of getting a copyright strike or a monetization claim on your videos. Music is a very touchy subject on YouTube. Just be sure you have all the rights. Abby, wait. I go to my music dashboard. It still said I have no copyright claim or strikes. Well, that's great. Ashante Bacon. Oh, before that Ashante Bacon said I was streaming and all of a sudden it cut off and it said I got a strike on it. I never got an email or anything. I can't appeal it. Doesn't even show my dashboard. Again, I don't know enough to be able to answer that Ashante. I encourage you to email support.freedom.tm if you are a freedom partner with more details so they can help you. Jake the cat gamer. How did you create that Dubai on top of the video? I'm not sure what you mean. How did I create that Dubai on top of the video? Eve, stop. Right now. You're not listening. I said I'll show you and you are not listening. It's not nice when my girls don't listen to me. Abby, I'm trying to read the comments, please. Can people who sign up to Freedom Family before the YouTube rules still can still a small amount of pay even if it's a small YouTube channel? Okay, yeah, if you're partnered with Freedom and you are being monetized, then yes, of course you can make money even if it's a small amount. Okay, let me catch up to my comments. I see your stream is a bit laggy and suffering from buffering, but it's watchable. Sorry about that. The internet here is not the greatest and I am uploading a video which will go live tomorrow talking all about the $2.2 million we sent you four days ago, Freedom Family, as well as the $5 billion fine that Google faces currently in the EU. They're appealing it, but they were hit with a $5 billion fine. Gizogul said that's why I create my own music for my videos. That's great Gizogul. I'm happy that you have enough skill as a composer to create your own music. Part the updates. How many days does YouTube take to review a new application? I'm asking about YPP. That's just as long as it takes. There is no answer to that. Like there's no guaranteed time that YouTube will review an application. When they get to you, they will get to you. Smooth 68 on your channel to start earning money. Just 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours in the last 365 days. Bass Rebel said, yes, I agree, George. There are a lot of no copyright channels that are just uploading any music, but the music we feature has been contracted to our label and is the same with NCS label. That's great. Again, my only point is make sure you are using music with full permission. And I've seen so many channels saying, oh, if there's any copyright, please contact me. No copyright intended. That's the worst thing to say in a video description because clearly you're stating I'm just copying this music and I'm not getting permission. That's the kind of stuff that will get channels terminated or at least YPP suspended if YouTube catches you. So be sure to use music with full permission. That's why we created Music Factory. That's our original music that our composers that we hired make for freedom. That's 100% safe to use because we own it outright. And you can check out Music Factory by just going to musicfactory.tm or clicking on the freedom channel, the Music Factory link on the right side to take you to that channel. Hey, Silver Tiger. I've spoken to Silver Tiger here in Dubai. He's one of our partners that live in Dubai. And nice to see you here in the live stream, Silver Tiger, also known as George. He's another George in the world. When is freedom available in the Hindi language? We do have a team in India and in fact we have a freedom India channel. Just go to our main channel, youtube.com slash freedom and look on the right side for the India channel. The link to it. Yes, Abby? Well, I haven't seen your comment. David's movie corner. Dude, George did something. I'm not sure what you mean. G3 hedge. Hi, George. I have a question. I've been constantly uploading videos and constantly consistent content but I'm not growing. I've been with freedom. I would encourage you to go to our Discord chat server. The link is down there in the description below or to our community forums at www.community.tm and ask the question there. You'll find many creators looking for collaborations and giving tips on how to grow. You should also introduce yourself so people can discover you there. www.community.tm. Morph, I agree. I appreciate him as a person but his actions have been questionable. Which person and which actions? Be more specific, please. DGM plays asks, sing the ABCs. Please, please, please. Abby, sing the ABCs. Quickly, you got 10 seconds. 10, 9. Okay. I think that's enough. Are you okay? Are you the only one babysitting while at work? I am currently babysitting with the help of a few other people but the girls like to be next to daddy, of course. What's your favorite song? My favorite song. I don't have a favorite song. Maybe, um, what do I listen to? No, that's not a song. That's a musical. I don't actually have a favorite song because I don't really listen to music on the radio. Mr. Outro. Oh, what? It's just Jord. Hey, Jord. Nice to see you in the live stream. It's going well. It's just Jord is one of our longtime community team members. He works with our partners and our staff. It's really awesome. Mr. Outro, how can I come visit the freedom office in Dubai, please? We don't have a freedom office in Dubai yet but we're looking at different spaces so we can have an office in Dubai. I do have my shared space. That's for my personal company, George Technology, FZCO, Free Zone Company, but that isn't the freedom office. I agree, Morphe. He's great at managing his network but he's wicked. He's only got some skeletons in his closet. Hey, Kenny Williver, what skeletons are you referring to? I would love to know. Please share with us in the live chat. Jake the cat. In your title, it says George live answers your question in George live answers your questions in Dubai live. Oh, do I have live twice? And there is a Dubai on top of it. How did you put that on it? I'm not sure how I put that on it. I just entered my metadata, my title into the box when I started my live stream. I didn't put anything else that I know about Dubai on top. Maybe take a screenshot and show it to us. Why help me help me? How long it will take to review my application? As long as it takes Gravitron, I don't know when it will be done. Ah, it's just George answered Kenny. It's the new format for hashtags that I didn't know. Okay, I'm going to scroll down to the latest comment because I'm missing through. I'm getting, I'm too slow. Let's catch up. Silver Tiger, Team George. Yes, Team George. Okay, reading, reading. Oh, something about Do not look into his eyes. I'm not sure what you mean by that. Am I going to hypnotize you? Silver Tiger is looking for collaboration on a song. He's looking for a composer. Of course, I'll give the right credit. Please contact him if you are. How old are your children? Ages eight, seven, five and one. Yes, this one will be nine years old, September 2nd. Abby, you're zooming in on my video. I can't have that zoomed in. It looks too bad. Okay, don't touch. I'm just reading the comments because someone isn't reading the questions for me. Abby on the computer, not here. The discord link expired. Really? Okay, I'll have to look at that after I'm finished this live stream. Beto El Curioso said, George, could you tell us the whole idea of freedom? How it started? I would like to know the story. It's a very long story, but the short version is in 2013, we created freedom as a no lock network, one of the very few at the time where anyone could leave at any time for any reason or no reason. That's why we call it freedom. And then we built it up with community first. And five years later, here we are. That's the short version. I should take off my glasses because they're fogging up. George, come to the UK. Maybe in the future. I know you have a YouTube space in London. Yes? That's not a question, Abby. Still trying to read the comments to catch up. Gravitron, Abby. Again, you zoomed in on me. Gravitron. Dang, George. Crazy to realize how long I've been part of the freedom family. How long have you been part of the freedom family all four and a half years that we've been around? Or how long? Okay. Durga Pooja Live 2017 asks, do you think YouTube will withdraw custom thumbnail option in the near future? Never. I'm sure we'll always have custom thumbnails because that's how you create a custom content. Why would YouTube want to remove that feature? Blaze, to be honest, said I'm the biggest YouTuber. Not. There's one biggest YouTuber and his name is PewDiePie by subscriber count. I love the zoom in moments. Yeah, it's just George, but they're accidental. George, what time do you sleep? It's 10.25 here. Yes, it is 10.30 PM, but I probably will be up for a few more hours. Maybe the zooming isn't the problem, but the distance between your face and the laptop is actually, this is my cell phone, not my laptop that I'm live streaming on. I'm testing this because I want to take you guys with me and show you around Dubai live if I can in the future. Now I know that this works. This is actually quite good. Okay, so guys, since this was my first live stream and you've asked a lot of great questions, I think I will end it here. We've been streaming for 30 minutes and in the future we will have a more organized stream and we will pre-announce it so you can plan to come and join in the future. For now, I will bid you adieu and I'm just going to check if there's any last minute questions. Mr. Outro said not a really question, wanted to thank all the freedom for supporting me in the last four years, but never thought I would be hit 33,000 subs. Here's the future. Mr. Outro, congrats on 33K. All right, guys. Gizzle Goo, I just joined Freedom right now. That's awesome. Welcome to the Freedom Family. Let's all help each other grow together as a family. The Freedom Family, as we always say in the George Show videos. All right, thanks guys for joining me on this impromptu live stream. I see we have 28 people watching, which is awesome. We have 18 thumbs up and we'll try to break that record on the next stream. All right? It says order corn before you go. It said what? Why all the streams end when I start watching them? Okay, take care, guys, and we'll see you hopefully in Dubai in the freedom experience in the future. Take care, everybody. Have a good night or day.
