(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey Guys well i want to talk about how giveaways work . Since YouTube has been flooded by them . I want to discuss why many people are doing this for . Its not neccesairly " Giving back to the community'. Im also going to talk about the three types of giveaways the Legit ones , The Scams , and the Setups
[multipage=How YouTube Parnterships work]
Well YouTube Partners is a Program for High Subscriber YouTubes . How it works is simple. If you have alot of trafic (Subs , Views , Favorites , and Comments) . You may apply for this program . YouTube then looks at your Channel for a bit , They get back to you. So if you made now you get the benifets . Things like a better background . Also you know get revenue with google . How it works is advertisemnts appear from your video . Now you are getting paid by How many people are going to the advertisers website as well as your traffic . Now how do give aways connect to this? Plain in simple
[multipage=The Equation]
Now you will see how this all connects to Giveways

A Giveaway -> More comments Likes Views , comments , more subscribers -> Your videos show up on the top of the search bar or the front page -> Even more traffic -> even more Cash

[multipage=The Legit Giveaways]
Ok Guys these are people like xJawz on YouTube . Now he did stop doing these videos . But i wanted to show you what he did . He used his revenue from machinama and his channel ( not all of his paycheck) . To buy prizes ( Headsets , consoles , games , gift cards,etc) . Pretty simple he used the equation to his advantage and a lucky audience member (s) would get the prize.
[multipage=The Scammed Giveaways]
Pretty self explaniatory , They would buy a prize (s) and then make a fancy video . Get all from the equation . Then he would keep/return the prize to the store /owner .
[multipage=The Setup Giveaways]
These giveaways are very simple . They aren't very common but they work . Its actually similar to the scammers . They would get a friend to enter the contest . Return /keep the prize and then make it as if they won the prize .
[multipage=Can Giveaways work for non partners?]
Well i hope you learned something . This is the final thing i want to point out . All Giveaways have benifets . Giveaways from a non partner will give them more traffic . Next time think about the YouTube giveaway before entering it .

Them doing this and gaining so much from it doesn't bother me at all, it is a win:win really, the part that DOES really piss me off is that there are folks out there with brilliant gameplays and commentaries getting very limited views while these guys can say, "giving away a cup of my ball sweat." and views and subs come flooding in.
