How YouTube Is Missing Out On $1.2 Billion A Year By Not Having A Business Channel
Why doesn’t YouTube have a business channel? They have channels for musicians and experts and journalists and more, yet no place for businesses to upload their content. Why? Well, it could be that as of the time of this writing, there is hardly any business-type video content in existence. By this I mean that businesses have not begun en masse to create videos for marketing purposes. So it makes sense, right now, that there is no YouTube business channel because there... Read More »

YouTube Rejected Me As A Partner
I’ve been rejected as a YouTube partner. I was told that I didn’t have enough views. They’re right, I don’t, because of a few reasons. 1.

Bottom line: I don’t think they want my videos. Why? I think because they’re not yet ready with how to handle... Read More »
