Hey Aubrey! Nice meeting you in Best Buy yesterday. I just hit the 500 sub/3000 hour level of monetization, applied and am waiting on being approved at that level. I'm not expecting much at this level, but it is a nice milestone to pass.

Hey Tim! It was nice meeting you as well. Congrats on hitting that goal! I remember you were saying you were about to hit it. I'm slowly building this channel up as you can see. Different kind of niche than what I was doing with gaming but I think it just needs to grow legs and take off.

@@aubreymcmullen It's like a snowball, it take a long time to get it going and then you can stand up and then it rolls on its own. I think you have a knack for speaking and it will get better as you hone the craft in. Very informative video, by the way. Very interesting to see that most of the other platforms require 10k followers to become eligible. I always wondered about that. The most valuable info was that I did NOT know BB had an affiliate program!

Haha yeah they do. It was a little bit of a pain. I think it is called Impact. www.bestbuy.com/site/partnerships/best-buy-affiliate-program/pcmcat198500050002.c?id=pcmcat198500050002 Target and a bunch of other companies go through Impact. It seems they don't always like youtubers though unless you have a website lol. Individual companies through it are easier. Walmart? Not so much.

@@aubreymcmullen I signed up. Waiting to be approved. I've thought about a website to go along with my channel, but that's just another thing I'd have to pay monthly for. I will admit, sometimes I would rather just read a review. Having Bestbuy affiliate links would have been helpful in my latest video because the product was not in stock in Amazon, but Best Buy had a few.

Eh that all depends. You could probably do a yearly fee for a GoDaddy site along with a site builder attached to it.
