Whoo Hoo! My first $100 from YouTube

Well, after almost 4 months as a YouTube Partner, I've earned my first $100 from their revenue sharing program. It's a pittance, granted - a mere $25/month - but it's a fun little milestone to think about. At least it means I've broken even on the budget for all my videos (beef hearts, smoke machines, rabbit puppets and tape stock cost money!)

It's also significant as it's the minimum amount that Google AdSense will let you cash out of their program. You can't collect on any earnings under $100.

So in another four months, I'll be able to pay my phone bill again! And maybe have a burger!

So I Got Made... a YouTube Partner

That's right, after months of whoring myself on YouTube, scrambling for subscribers, views and comments, YouTube finally invited me to be part of their Partner program, so that I get revenue sharing from views and/or click-throughs on the videos I upload.

So that means if I get 100,000 views on a video, I'll be able to afford a taco! Rang-a-dang.

Hopefully it'll encourage me to actually shoot and edit some of these ideas scrawled on my mirror.

I got a fever of 103!

No seriously, I have a really bad fever. This week's sudden cold snap nailed me, as it does every year. Sudden changes in temperature are my Kryptonite. Like, Smallville Kryptonite, in that it's a really lame weakness and it's overused.

I apologize to the two readers of my blog for not updating the end of the year happenings, which were actually rather eventful.

More later when my head isn't spinning quite as much.
