Thanks to the encouragement of member of YTTalk's forum we've monetized a few videos and submitted a formal request to YouTube for original flavor partnership. This morning the only news from YouTube was that they'd demonetized one video for content, we sent in a response as we had the music cleared. While we await a reply, any feedback that you can offer in our branding, channel design, promotion, video content, annotations, or wherever you've got an angle we're not catching-- please let us know what we can do to make the jump into the next tier of the YouTube platform. Thanks for all your help, we couldn't navigate this world wide web without you.

Yeah, monetization is really complicated. My videos are just me talking, without background music or anything. Most networks are really good with handling copyrighted material and their usage in videos, so if you're worried, I'd think about joining one. As for your channel branding, I think it's a little lame to ask for subscribers in the title of your channel. I just don't like it, and it makes it look like you're more interested in becoming popular than creating interesting content. Just my thoughts. Good luck with the continuation of your channel!
 
We saw a spike in subscribers after we put our nudge-nudge-wink-wink parenthetical statement. With so many people viewing our videos without being signed in, it's worth reminding people. Plus that line is displayed on any comment that we leave through a playlist-- "Now? As if You Guys weren't already?" -- exactly it's urgent. We had less than 42 subscribers last month, then we changed the channel description. Funny you should mention it because we were deliberating on what to write in that box this month.
 
Okay, that was just my opinion. For me, seeing a note asking for subscriptions is like walking into a store and having multiple sales people pitching their product to you; it's annoying. Whenever I've done things like this, such as putting up annotations asking for subscriptions, I normally get told how tacky and unappealing it is. However, if it works on your target audience under your circumstances, who am I to question?
 
In new YouTube where the mainpage may as well be your facebook wall is it really tacky? Or are practices like botting or sub spamming ruining the waters for smaller vessels. I guess we thought our language was clever enough to be a wink and a nod. We don't sign off all of our videos with VLogs requesting subs, likes and comments-- that seems to be a standard among all the big fish. We're not sure, but we do know that after concentrating on promotions we've seen a steady growth in subscribers. And we've not even released our good material yet. Want have a shot at reaching the popular videos page when it releases. Our latest release hit 301 hits-- that's not 50% of our subs, and since we've been cross promoting we know that most of the views weren't even from that base. Seems even with subscribers our releases are lost in the flood. Engagement is critical under the new algorithm-- we don't know what to do to get it up.
