I hit 10K subscribers on YouTube!
And I passed 5 million total video views!
Watch my other parodies!»As a YouTube Partner I make a small share of the revenue generated from the ads that appear next to my videos and on top of my videos as an overlay at the bottom. The ads that are shown are chosen by YouTube and their system essentially uses some type of automatic system to look at the wording I’m using to describe the video and likely the stats on who watches my videos to determine which ads would be most appropriate. But now they’re starting to offer Partners the ability to run their own ads in the overlay.
What this means for someone like me is that I could choose to have the overlay promote this blog, or if I have a video in a contest and I want a lot of votes I can promote that, or I could find my own sponsors to advertise for and potentially get more funding that way. So far it’s apparently in the testing phase and only about 50 Partners have the ability to do that at this stage as far as I know. But I think it’s a great idea and can really help me to further promote myself and/or pay for the cost of my videos.
What do you think? Is this good for video producers or should they just stick to the ads that YouTube serves? Or do you think that overlay ads are too disruptive/annoying and should just not be used either way?
