Money Making Schemes

Gaming partnership help please?

Okay so I have a gaming channel that’s 6 months old and I’ve barely used it. I get a random e-mail from YouTube telling me I can monetize my videos; I only have 20 subscribers so I know I can’t apply to partnership just yet.

My question is – does YouTube still accept gaming channels into their partnership scheme? I’ve heard a lot of rumours going around that they don’t accept people anymore because of the new law that the American’s tried to pass through about copyright. I am in the UK and doing gaming videos is one of my goals to start making money [like PeteDorr and other gamers]. I know how the copyright system works – no music and only show gameplay videos if they intend to help others throughout the game etc etc meaning I can’t just only have gameplay videos. Once I get my capture card I will make reviews, collections and helpful gameplay videos.

TLDR; Does YouTube still accept gaming channels as part of their partnership scheme. I will not only include gameplay, I will do some other original things and possibly webcam videos.
@Daniel – wow, really? How can we tell when they’ve actually given us an opportunity to have partnership? Also, I am aware of other gamers getting money from their partnership still but I’m talking about new channels applying after the copyright law thing, which is really really recent. I’m wanting to know anyone that has gotten partnership after this. Thank you for your great answer

The BNP Policy statements – the Economy?

I am confused about the BNP, their policies and exactly what they stand for now.
The following has been cut and paste from the BNP website – I have not messed with it, it’s as it is in their policy statement:

“ECONOMY – British workers first!
Globalisation, with its export of jobs to the Third World, is bringing ruin and unemployment to British industries and the communities that depend on them. Accordingly, the BNP calls for the selective exclusion of foreign-made goods from British markets and the reduction of foreign imports. We will ensure that our manufactured goods are, wherever possible, produced in British factories, employing British workers. When this is done, unemployment in this country will be brought to an end, and secure, well-paid employment will flourish, at last getting our people back to work and ending the waste and injustice of having more than 4 million people in a hidden army of the unemployed concealed by Labour’s statistical fiddles. We further believe that British industry, commerce, land and other economic and natural assets belong in the final analysis to the British nation and people. To that end we will restore our economy and land to British ownership. We also call for preference in the job market to be given to native Britons. We will take active steps to break up the socially, economically and politically damaging monopolies now being established by the supermarket giants. Finally we will seek to give British workers a stake in the success and prosperity of the enterprises whose profits their labour creates by encouraging worker shareholder and co-operative schemes”

RIGHT OK – so they’re saying that we need to stop most foreign imports and stop the manufacture of British Goods overseas – Why do they think that we don’t have to compete in the Global Economy? We need to encourage our exports – we need to trade globally to make money, but if we cut our imports and manufacturing plants overseas, it will cause massive problems. Overseas markets have to like the British and find our products and services competitive before they will buy them. We can’t be an insular island on our own. We’ve been global for many many years.
And why do they think that this will provide all the unemployed in the UK with jobs? LOL. There are many that don’t WANT to work. What would happen to the NHS for a start?
What do they mean about owning our natural resources? Didn’t our oil get sold off some years ago? I don’t understand this at all.
As for preference in the job market being given to NATIVE BRITONS – do they mean white people? Why don’t they clarify what they mean….
Surely these policies would absolutely destroy any chance of us clawing our way out of this recession.
Their policies are a bit thin, it has to be said.
Your views please?
Sorry this is so long – as you can see I’m not an Economist, but this is the sort of manifesto that a 14 year old would come up with…..
If they clarified what they mean and how it would work, I would be satisfied with a certain level of intelligence. Do you have to become a member before they will tell you what they mean and how it will work?

Where do they get these idiots from in these polls?

Pay as you throw ! ! !

We have a serious issue with people just stuffing our bins with rubbish so I and neighbours would be paying for iother peoples rubbish being stuffed in our bins.

How idiotic is the scheme in any case? Well it certainly makes me wonder how these moron get into these jobs that decide on implementing them, all in the name of screwing the tax payer out of more money.

So this is the acid test I suppose, would you like to pay as you throw? Do you feel that it is a good idea? I certainly don’t nor do I welcome such a stupid idea based on the fact that our waste bins are in a public and communal area so I and other residents would be facing charges for waste that isn’t ours.

The number of times I have caught people just dumping stuff into my bin I have lost count. But this problem has obviously just done an A380 and gone straight over these idiots heads that all feel that its a good idea.
Are you daft? Chains, their is no way to chain up the bins we have. as well as that, it would mean getting up at arounf 5.30 – 6am on a friday just to unlock the thing to allow it to be emptied by said waste service.
Yes, the idea is flawed, seriously flawed.
It is always the “Home owners” that are sucked into these polls and test areas, never the majority areas that are council homes, flats, etc. So it is often seen as a good idea by those who CAN pay…

And thats a point, flats and low rise accomodation who have communal bins, how thr ‘F’ would that work?

I remember when wheelie bins came out that were smaller than the average bin to force people into wasting less, one of the neighbours would take his rubbish out with him and stuff it into the public bins.

If they want us to produce less waste, they are going about it back to dront as usual, they need to deal with the companys that make and produce packaging that is an over kill, excess packaging is where the problem lies, it is something that we have had no say in but we have to pay again. This excess packaging accounts on average for 25-30% of the items cost… so when we dispose of it, how much will that make the total cost of that item?
Anyone care to complain to the current government?
http://www.labour.org.uk/contact

We should fill their inbox up with the reasons why it is a flawed and ill thought out plan.
They say that the Council Tax bill you recieve will have been reduced in relation to your waste, in reality local councils starved of cash would simply add this loss on to something else.

I have lived under 4 different councils and in each council the same happend, a reduction in one area was met by an increase, oddly enough in another… So who are they trying to kid?

Will the government listen, it is doubtful.

You can tell them here: http://www.labour.org.uk/contact about how you fee because these starw polls that they use are never representational of the “Average” person, they in reality only represent the NIMBYs of this world who are able to cough up, have a high disposable income and never contain elements of “Our” society that have a voice but never get heard.
@17pdr, LMAO, QUOTE: “I think those who think its a good idea are singleton musli munchers in Cheam.”

I know the place, used to have a job driving around london delivering to council depots…

Bin men have it very easy here too, the “NEW” rules are that IF the “Wheelie Bin Lid” does not “Close”, they do not have to empty it… instead at extra cost, the council employ a sub contractor to empty all those bins and they only get emptied if you complain…

Another example of public miney being wasted.
In some cases I don’t really think its bin men getting lazier rather that its employers in general expecting more for less, the bigger the round that they have to complete dictates how much time they have to deal with each bin and hence these petty scenarios like here in Notts, if you bin lid isn’t closed they won’t empty it.

Fly tipping I agree will increase but thats because lots of councils count things like domestic appliances as commercial waste and expect you to pay for its disposal and if you turn up in a van, your automatically treated as commercial waste regardless, no if’s not but’s your expected to charge and that leads to fly tipping.

Fly tipping when I was young was unheard of because you could go to you local tip and dump your unwanted and even the council guy would often help if the item was big or bulky, now H & S and insurance constraints forbid it.

This unfortunately is the American Business model that we have imposed on us, pay, pay, pay and pay again.

Would you vote for me?

Hi all,

Policies I’ve thought of so far include (in no particular order and have been “refined” from another question I posted yesterday):

1) Tougher child benefit schemes, so that it’s only available to people whom have permanent residence in the UK. I’m under the impression pretty much anyone can claim this – even if their children do not reside in this country. Child benefit should remain “as is” now, if you are married, but should have a “reducing quota” if you’re single and are still having children. For example, a single person with 1 child, gets full benefits. 2 children, gets 100% for the first child, perhaps 75% for the second. Third child gets harsher – Perhaps 75/50/25. Also! Single parents should not be able to claim a property so easily. Spending should be increased on sex education and preventative pregnancy measures.

2) Cuts in spending on NEW religious buildings – and to spend that money elsewhere on prolong existing religious buildings (we have enough already I think!).

3) Introduction of a new tax (I think would need to be quite high) on overseas transactions – so that anyone sending money away from the UK, are taxed for it (on the transactions value), thus our treasury retains a higher percentage of that money for public spending.

4) More regular, but “online” Prime Ministers Questions. Why give MP’s a reason to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds of tax payers money on temporary or permanent residence in London, when technology will allow us to do everything we need to do, from our very own homes / constituancies? We abolish “MP allowances” completely and lower MP salaries as they will have no reason to claim such high salaries when they’re confined to their own localities. This will save the taxpayer up to 20 million pounds per year in MP salaries and perhaps that much again in the abolishment of MP allowances.

5) Reduce the number of councillors in all constituancies. I live in Nottingham and our councillors do absolutely nothing for us – a huge waste of tax payers money.

6) Get out of the EU – We should be free to make our own laws, trades and legislation. I appreciate that this may not be a popular one, but in order to get the harder punishments on criminals and gain control of our borders, laws and legislations, it’s an absolute neccessity. This will also save the tax payer up to 40 million pounds per DAY.

7) Human rights should be ammended so that (convicted 100% sure) criminals lose a majority of their rights.

8) Prisons should be made into harsher environments and not the hotels that they are now. The “fear” of going to prison should (alone) be enough to deter people from committing crime.

9) Consider re-introducing the death sentence. This would only be used in severe cases – rapists, murderers, paedophiles etc. Why are we paying money to keep these people alive and safe?

10) Massive increases on spending on the NHS and pensions. NO changes to minimum wage. A valid point was made in a previous post that a lot of NHS spending is on the higher earners in the NHS – such as consultants etc. This needs to be made more widespread to nurses and junior doctors. Salaries of grades should be given “caps” and “responsibility” of the people that earn these high salaries should be clearly defined. The same person also noted that minimum wages should be greatly increased. I, however greatly oppose this. Small businesses are making people redundant day-by-day and one of the main reasons for this is that their overheads (primarily salaries) are a great stress on the business finances – especially during these hard-times. If the minimum wage were to continue increasing now, it would bring about more redundancies and the end of thousands more small businesses. Minimum wage must be held “as is” for the short-term.

11) Trade Unions should have less power. We saw recently how a trade unions demands did more worse than good with the oil workers strike at Total.

12) Immediate withdrawal of all troops from Iraq – reparations to be paid over time to the re-building of Iraq (thanks to the warmonger of an ex-PM of ours!)

13) More funding to border control / customs etc.

14) This kinda overlaps point 7, but people whom preach hatred among religious groups should be thrown out of a plane with an empty / unpacked parachute strapped to their back in their own country.

15) Long-term unemployed (2 years) whom are fit to work, should have all benefits immediately stopped – and will not be eligible to apply for unemployment benefit again for another 3 years. Conditions can be applied to this so that (for example) someone whom was made redundant, may have a longer period of time to find a job. Someone whom left their job of their own accord will be entitled to less time. Enforcement of stricter rules on this would save the taxpayer billions!!!

16) Police to have paperwork reduced. Consider the possiblity of having “criminal bounties” for police officers arresti
just noticed it’s not pasted all in… here’s the rest:

16) Police to have paperwork reduced. Consider the possiblity of having “criminal bounties” for police officers arresting wanted / suspected criminals.

17) Social services to have paperwork reduced, and should be given more authority towards the protection of children.

18) Increased pay for lower ranked members of the armed forces.

19) Equality amongst British people. Seems rather unfair that (for example) English tax payers are not entitled to some medicines for free from the NHS. Also, English students are not entitled to free university fees (I personally think that students should pay these fees so I’m in favour of the English way of doing this).

How would you rate this personal statement for accountancy course at university?

Money makes the world go around, and this is certainly true to a great extent. In recent times we have been faced with the US sub-prime mortgage fiasco which threatens to bring world finance markets and economies to their knees. However, one could argue that had there been sound understanding of the US financial market and a tighter control on the availability of credit, then this problem could have easily been avoided. One subsidiary effect of the financial problems in the US is the problems it is causing the UK housing market. With banks no longer being so overzealous to hand out loans, consumers are unable to afford the sky-high property prices. This sharp fall in demand has resulted in the UK housing market moving closer and closer towards a crash. I want to do a degree in Accounting and Finance to further my understanding of the subject which I find deeply interesting due to its imperative nature, its complexity and also because it is a subject which is continuously changing.

My A-level subjects reflect my broad range of skills, knowledge and also support my desired degree choice. Mathematics at A-level has developed my problem solving skills and has allowed me to explore data analysis techniques, which will be valuable during the quantitative analysis modules of an Accounting and Finance degree. Economics has furthered my understanding of the wider implications of changes in the economic climate of one country and I have also built upon my ability to analyse and evaluate in-depth case studies, which is essential when examining accounts and world markets in detail. Computing has given me skills, which will without a doubt be especially useful to me whilst at university and in a financial services occupation, which is heavily reliant on computer systems. Chemistry requires one to analyse results and information and come to a reasoned conclusion. This skill will facilitate me with the analytical modules in an Accounting and Finance degree.

During my academic career so far, my skills and my academic interests have coincided. Accounting and Finance is a subject, which requires one to be meticulous in their reasoning and have the ability to solve complex problems. I have demonstrated my ability to solve complex problems by obtaining a Silver Certificate in the UK Senior Mathematical Challenge, which puts me in the top 7-13% in the UK. I have represented my school many times at Chess and I was awarded a school Chess tie for my commitment. My perseverance at Chess resulted in me reaching the Gigafinals of the British Land Chess Challenge after successfully negotiating my way through the initial qualifying and Megafinal rounds. The ability to communicate confidently is useful for all university courses and indeed for your career. I have developed this skill by obtaining a Grade 8 in Public Speaking from LAMDA. Sport is something that I am passionate about, whether it be playing or watching it. I have had the privilege of representing my schools under 16 Rugby team and also the Eton Fives team. Through persistence at Eton Fives, I was able to win the under 15 Plate at the H.S.B.C Eton Fives Schools Championship. For my dedication to both Rugby and Eton Fives, I was awarded a Senior Half Colours tie. My involvement in school sports has given me the ability to work well in a team and has also been fundamental to my growth in maturity. My simultaneous participation in the Duke of Edinburgh Silver award, the Millennium Volunteers scheme, the voluntary work I have been involved in at Oxfam over the past 3 years and my numerous other extra-curricular activities has enhanced my time management skills, which I feel will be beneficial for me whilst at university.

I believe that I am hardworking, unrelenting in the pursuit of my goals, confident in my own ability, have good time management skills and also the potential to achieve in the future.
