So it seems that this idea has been bounced around by many different people many different times but no one has truly made a plan or followed through on it. (that I know of)
The idea is a simple one. To make an Official SPOTM youtube page that becomes partnered and generates money for the tribe to donate and use on projects.
If no body minds I would love to be the project leader on this one but I can step down if someone has more initiative.
We as a tribe will be making the videos and deciding how this project works not just the team in charge of the account.
Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to use a company like google to help decrease world suck.
Note: i know there is a pogotribe page and it is for our introductions and tribe affairs. we will need a new account that will be accessible by all who will be working on the team
The first step would be to create an open youtube account one person becomes the treasurer and will be the one that receives the revenue from google. (this should be an admin or extremely trusted member) All admins and some chosen trusted members (maybe the project leader) will be given full access to the account (meaning the will have the user name and password and be able to log into the account and edit info and add videos as needed)
We will also need an email account (gmail would be easy enough that way its linked to the account and can be accessed simultaneously) The email will be used for people from the entire tribe to send any video they want to the account for us to upload.
any extra annotations or what not need to be discussed by email or chat of some sort as to get them as perfect as possible
Note: this will be the official SPOTM tribes youtube account and there for will be representing our tribe as a whole.
Edit: Due to popular demand please disregard every thing related to creating a new channel... Thank you.
the second step once the account is made and linked and the people in charge of the account are all chosen. will be to make videos. This is the most important part and if we can't do it this project will fail. we will ask the tribe and the youtube pages viewers (when we get viewers) to create videos. any topic idea theme we will sort them by playlist categories later. (the video maker will get to choose what category it is in) This means that anyone and everyone with a working camera and a small bit of talent will be able to contribute. (literally anything would be useful as long as it doesn't go against copyright laws)
Once the page has some videos and I know we have people on here with decent youtube pages that could contribute wonders.
We will be onto step three. this is the most difficult part.
First we would want everyone on the moon to subscribe to the channel and like favorite and what not to as many videos as possible but we would then need to promote like mad get people to want to watch us and keep posting new videos. at least one or two every day or so. we have enough people to do that easily.
an idea that i hope would help. we where well born of Dan if i can use that metaphor. the moon is Dans child. he is no longer our leader which means we have grown up in his eyes. however i would assume if we said to Dan "we have a super secret project that needs your help". don't you think he would help us.
with that said i purpose we use Dan to bring viewers to us. simple and easy maybe even have Dan email google himself and ask if we can be under his wing as partners. (I know that Jon from "is it a good idea to microwave this" got a second page under his partnership for his own use so this is possible)
If Dan was able to help us promote the hell out of our channel and we as a tribe promoted it i have no doubt we would go viral and easily become partnered. we also have newschooled who might be able to help us with this he has a following as well.
The youtube page would be a collaborative effort from all of us to make money for the tribe to do projects.
this would be a long project which i would expect the setup alone would take months let alone the partnership.
If we can accomplish this then we will be able to do things on a global scale to decrease world suck. all we need is a Heep of allot of volunteers. (when i say Heep i mean 40% of the tribe effort to accomplish.)
Note: we do not need Dan Brown or any other successful youtuber to help us become partnered. we simply need enough videos every week and plenty of support from the moon and anything could happen. If any youtube celebrities want to help though it would speed up the process.
