Awesome video, at the beginning you say that there are no other ways to monetise our videos other than upvotes, I actually recently got my first sponsor and I'm now getting paid by that sponsor for each video that contains their message so that's another way to monetise your videos without any upvotes involved :P
Oooh interesting, @tanbay would you be up for explaining more about that?
Bonnie Piesse!? As in THE Bonnie Piesse from Star Wars? Sure, I'm on twitter @tanbayt just message me on there :)
Hey @tanbay! Yeah I agree, this is another way to monetize. I've had a couple sponsorship offers as well which was surprising to me so it seems like that's a new method popping up here! Although I still feel like we are very early in these stages. People are reluctant to drop cash that can actually help you make a living here as opposed to Youtube. So I do believe it's still a growing scene. Thanks for sharing though, exciting to see these new methods! And congrats on your sponsorship!
