A few pros and cons of Maker so far

[jackdarke]

I'm not at a point where I'd offer a huge review of Maker just yet but here are some pros and cons as I understand it so far. I just want to point out I've seen some people point out as a benefit you get access to Fiverr and Spreadshirt for free... Fiverr and Spreadshirt are already Free.

Pros:

You get Epoxy for free - normally 20 dollars a month. - Post all your social media updates at once.
Massive Sound library of royalty free music
Forum full of other creators.
You can monetize loads of cover songs if you're a musician (This was the main reason for signing up for me)

Cons:
Smaller adshare than Adsense
RPMs no matter what they tell you do not promote your channel and will offer little in the way of promo.
If you're not a gamer you might struggle to have much meaningful conversation about how to improve in the forums as most people there are gamers.

For me being on Maker is worth it for the royalty free music, and getting to monetize covers... So I guess I'm marginally happy with the experience thus far.

That Epoxy thing sounds kind of neat, but also sounds like what can already be done for free with other tools.
Btw about the adshare being smaller than adsense, not sure what you mean, but YouTube still takes their 45 percent cut.

Do you know what epoxy will post to for you, like perhaps a list of the sites you can auto share to or something that would be good to know because the last time I checked their site I couldnt find out for myself but it should be there logged in

Instagram (Sorta) Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube as far as I can see. You can schedule updates for all of them - which doesn't work that well for Youtube and Instagram... It's got fancy graphs and other useful bells and whistles though!

I've been with them for a couple months now and I think it's worth it. My channel is increasing and they open the door to many opportunities.

How so? What do you feel they've done for you out of curiosity?

I'm trying to join them and they can't send me an invite because my old network Freedom! will not unlink from my channel even after contacting their support

My ad revenue has gone up, they give you challenges that can earn you extra cash and I've recently seen other youtubers videos being played on tv because maker is a sub division on Disney.

Let me guess, still bound by contract? I know that's my issue with Vultra at the current moment.
