I did join today Austin thanks. I understand completely how CPM works and everyone should realize what Tonylynd is saying about CPM just doesn't make sense. Your CPM will be low for many reasons but with a network that CAN deal you a higher CPM, it's really up to you if your stuff is engaging enough to make use of it. Otherwise it very well might give you a lower CPM. What's CPM matter though if you're making a dollar a month?
We never aspired to do any of this for money to begin with anyway. We have clear goals and right now, money is not one of them. It will be in the future, but not yet. Make no mistake, we want to do this as our career. Right now though, we just want to network, build our community and produce excellent content.
Shockingly, for whatever reason, I got up this morning and had an e-mail from Maker, some other partner I've never heard of AND RPM directly. I have never applied to any network besides Fullscreen, ever. They just e-mailed me with offers.
Here's the reason I chose Fullscreen.
A PERSON, looked at my entire channel. This person watched my videos and personally responded. This person even had things to say about details within several of our videos. This person highlighted to me why they think that our content is good for Fullscreen. They did NOT try to tell me that Fullscreen would make all my dreams come true. They flat out said, the work is up to us and they will try to give us an avenue to use it.
I honestly haven't experienced that level of personal behavior from ANY professional company since I was a teenager growing up on a farm where every business was operated at the register by the owner.
So thanks a ton Fullscreen and I look forward to trying to help you guys out as much as you can help me out in the future.
