I agree wholeheartedly with this Brother.. and can add, I feel it is an actual requirement to.

Anytime we are blessed by God (or given revelation) ...we are to share it, this requires action on our part.

To receive from the Lord Blessing or revelation and then not share it, would be to create a pond with it. We are clearly called to let rivers of life flow through us...

We are a conduit, not a dam.

This is why it is better to give than to receive. ..right?

This is exactly what my first Pastor taught! That water stinks if it's forced to stagnate.

You can monetize your videos and earn a little cash, just don't expect to make a full living off it unless you gain a massive amount of subscribers. But I don't think there's anything wrong with monetizing. Money is hard to come by in this economy, gotta earn it where you're able.
Yeah particularly what's been tough is having "so many ideas" and no one interested in them or them not being useful or given opportunity,like my memory teachings I got such pep to get working on it then when my family church told me I wouldn't be a teacher I got a bit discouraged,I feel like youtube is another way to "reach out".
I do have other options like twitter,yahoo,or Christian sites but each of those individually only cover "so much" where as with "videos" I feel I can say alot without having to "repeat over and over" a bunch of things and not necessarily "make a living" but have a little to the side for "special ventures" like "visiting other countries",helping a church/churches financially" or "pursue artistry form"!
For example I've been thinking of trying making romance/love manga(romantic without smut as the focus) all these ideas in my head for quite a few years and now I feel like I should give them a try.
 
Well I finally got my youtube channel to be "more accessible" and all in all the "way I want" and "complete"(put other channels to go to,made a trailer for my channel)
All I need now is for this "heat wave" to pass by and I'll be all set to make more videos(a/c is messed up,usually close room door to film) I think I have at least a "good start" now,and I believe I will try for monetizing if I get the requirements of course.
 
Yay fizzy guy!

You can plug your business here, no problem! Links are ok. I just ask that you make your videos prayerfully, hope that the community here supports you in prayer, and that Jesus is living through you as this is His ministry to a lost and dying world He reaches out to, using your hands ...

What do you mean "prayerfully"?(from time to time I don't understand some phrases and want to be careful)
 
Prayerfully would mean, literally, full of prayer. Asking Jesus to be with you as you make the videos. Asking Him for inspiration, direction, skill, etc. every step of the way.

You could pray these same things to be done by the Holy Spirit if you prefer, some say that's more correct. I don't think God tests our theology so much as He's interested in being with us.

Pursuing this interest "prayerfully" could be restated as doing it WITH God. You want Him in the driver's seat, not as co-pilot :wink

Ok well was just curious because so far none of my videos have "prayer" in them lately more of been "setting up" my channel and giving info about me and my song for God and memory teachings,so didn't know if you would require me to have prayer in the videos though actually it's a pretty good idea for a video!
 
I dunno. Often when I see prayer in video it seems fake or staged. I'm suggesting what you do off camera, beforehand for preparation.
Ok I get and you're right some people stage prayer,I myself lately after mold,the a/c messing up,heat,and "multiple" choices to make I haven't been much of praying as much for awhile,especially when in about a month I'm hoping to move and am excited about it,but also work has become pretty "dead end" now,mostly been playing yugioh and watching youtube though I do chat on other Christian sites too from time to time.
I suppose lately it's just I have so much I can do but at the same time currently so many "obstacles".
Like with the video recording the only place I can record is in my room and typically at night so as to keep from noise and interruptions.
I also have been trying to learn to cook and I even thought of making my romance series(haven't been on a date with a girl or had a girl friend at all,and thinking about it gets me to back slide so I figured putting my romantic side on paper would help me keep from fleshy thoughts) I got a lot going on so many options and ideas I feel like I'm going to explode if I don't get out on my own eventually.
I mean honestly I have had thousands of great ideas for plenty of fields,games,movies,series,books,but nothing to "work with" and no "peace of mind" to do so either.
I guess I feel I can't "do my best" living with relatives,because it always ends up being me ending up doing something for them putting everything I really wanna do "on hold" just so they can stay in the same old "circle" making the same actions and mistakes.
I pretty much have felt "shut down" for most of my life because it's like me and my family have different "values" and "perspectives" on life.
I pretty much want to be alone or find someone and leave the past "buried" where it belongs where as my family "won't let it go",it's nearly always..."well if they listened to me",or"can't you do right","you ought to listen to this preacher" all in all perpetually it's like a never ending circle of "Extreme peer pressure"(someone telling me or others over and over to do something until finally doing what they want)
Greed and Pride and Lies(people wanting mpney with get rich quick schemes,people sharing about themselves as if you just "have to" listen to them,and people "pretending to need money,bumming for money or not helping out financially,and perhaps the biggest one...
Unclean habits,I have seen everything from clipping toenails at the couch,dropping food in the floor,wiping food or feces on furniture or items,missing the toilet,cooking on greasy skillet and not cleaning it,it really irritates me and only 1 person in the house does most of these unsanitary things without even trying.
I really am worn physically and emotionally due to this and my work double shift twice a week to boot.
If there is one prayer I have requested plenty it's for God/Jesus to help me get out from here,away from " powerful evill influences" and "on to" serving him more and "find a"....
Real Life to live instead of a repetitive life with people that have their heads stuck in the past,I have already had a shouting against everyone here individually(partly due to mold and pressure) and I really don't want a repeat of this,I just want to leave,Serve God/Jesus and work towards a "future" and of course I intend to help family at times but for once it would be nice if I had more of a "say" in whether I do for others or not instead of being "on edge" every day wondering what my future is.

Anyways...I suppose I'll post 1 link and see how you and others feel about it,I could use some criticism and feed back.
 
I now have 200 views and an ok amount of likes and multiple songs and soon going to partner with youtube after I move to my own apartment things are getting interesting!
 
Well I have a job too that pays 8 dollars an hour and probably going to get full time but some side money would be helpful with either pay rate.
Contact all your contacts and tell them you are hungry for work.

Two kids came by my house saying they lived on the block and wanted to shovel snow.
I was not ready to say yes, but if I saw them again, maybe the third time I saw them I would give them the job for the whole winter.

But they needed to show persistence first, before I'd offer them the job again. So circulate and be hungry for work.
