Yes, we have such a channel and as you can see above, quite a number of videos. Not as many subscribers, though. We’d like to change that ratio if at all possible. In fact, we’d like to get to 1,000. Would you consider becoming one? It’s rather easy:
- Go to YouTube.com
- Search for “GraniteGrok”
- Click on the Subscribe button (see above).
See, EASY! And nothing else is required. You don’t have to come back to YouTube (although you may get notices when we put up new videos but we’ll post them on GraniteGrok anyways).
So, you ask, what’s in it for us? To be perfectly capitalistic about the whole thing – monitization. We used to earn money from folks viewing our videos years ago and then YouTube changed the rules of the game. There are a number of parameters that YouTube requires before they will send us money for folks watching our stuff: number of videos (we’re way beyond that threshold), the amount of time per month that people watch our videos in whole or part thereof (we’re WAY over that as well), and the number of subscribers. In this regard, we’re way short. Just barely halfway to the 1,000 we need.
So, the bleg (or “ask”) is to help us get to that number. It costs you nothing and it would result in some small amount of coin to put back into GraniteGrok in supporting our monthly costs and gear and software that helps to do more and better things. A simple click helps get us to that goal.
I made this ask a while ago and people responded – and many thanks for you doing that. I’m asking that others of you if you’d help us. If not, that’s fine – we appreciate you spending your valuable time reading the ‘Grok! If you would, well, many thanks for that as well.
Happy New Year, everyone!
