Scruit Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 So I have my youtube account set up with Google adsense. People watch my videos, call me a no-life loser for recording all my bike/car journeys.I post this one video a couple years ago called "How to annoy the highway patrol without really trying" (below)It's not a serious video. Just an encounter with a cop who was a little rude with me. I whine like a little girl with hurt feelings. Lots of people arguing about how bad cops are, how much of a loser I am. And I keep getting into the arguments, goading people on. Stirring the pot.But here's the kicker. Adsense is counting every hit. Video has gotten 500k hits this month alone. And I just got my adsense check. $409. For this month alone.There's gold in them thar hills.Is this a $500 video?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWDju_muw3g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 Good ol Orange Rd.How do you sign up for this?They call it "monetization" and I got an invite from Google based upon the number of views my videos were getting.You have to own the copyright on the video. No 3rd party content.For each video you have to fill out a declaration that you own the copyright etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) No fare, I make more videos of all sorts of crap and still haven't broken $50. Worse yet I actually put effort into mine.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LnJvzXetNo Edited December 16, 2011 by buildit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 No fare, I make more videos of all sorts of crap and still haven't broken $50. 9 months after monetizing my youtube account I only reached $99. This one video just blew up this month. It's nuts.I'd have thought the video catching the mailman peeing on my house, or the repair techs joyriding in my Subaru would have been the money earners - but no. All it took was me being a butt-hurt pansy about a gruff cop. Who knew?My account is a little over 508.I need to get my ass pulled over and get the cop to taze me. Ride the lightning once or twice and get a couple grand from adsense. "My insurance card? It's in your momma's panties. You should have asked me sooner, I was in there about an hour ago, could have picked it up for you then. BZZZZZZZ""You know, as many times as I've done your momma, you should be calling me Dad by now. BZZZZZZZZZ" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I came across that video about 2 weeks ago, then saw who posted it. I got a kick out of it. Where's my share of the check, Scruit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 You got 500 bucks for that? You fuckerWhat kind of pistol you you like? Glock? Or MT's XD?I will buy one of those for myself with the money I got from whining like a bitch, just to piss you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nuts.The few people I've met who make a "living" doing you tube videos say it is a matter of constantly adding content, because you never know what video will go viral. Me I just want a dedicated team of add clickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted December 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 I came across that video about 2 weeks ago, then saw who posted it. I got a kick out of it. Where's my share of the check, Scruit? They won't let me enter $0.0001 into my online bill pay.If you read the comments I spend most of my time defending the cop - just wished he'd have been more polite. But some of the commenters out there are just nasty. I delete multiple comments a day that say things like; "You should just shoot that cop in the face" and stuff like that. I can't keep up any more. Still, I stoke the fires every now and then buy fighting the anti-police sentiment - just winds them up more and they come back to post more rhetoric. = More hits, more adsense money."You should murder that cop""Cops do a great job, just this one flunked PR 101""OMGWTFBBQ I'LL EAT YOUR BABIES FOR SAYING THAT!!!"

buildit Posted December 16, 2011 Report Share Posted December 16, 2011 What if he blows a kiss back and offers to show me his "nightstick". Then the video just turned into a porno. Don't forget the funky walka-walka sound track to cover up your girlish screams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
