The General Musings of Falkie2013 (George Senda, The Guy From Pittsburgh)

[SnapT]

But did he get any ad revenue for doing it ?

Sure, at least $1 per thousand views, probably more.  Like, you've had about 31,000 total views so far, and you say you've made about $40, right?  That means you were paid $1.29 per thousand views ($1.29 CPM).

Here are his channel's stats: http://www.statsheep.com/boogie2988

If he receives the same average CPM that you have (a good bet, he probably gets a higher CPM due to his popularity), he has made nearly $400,000 from his videos so far.  It's probably closer to $700,000 due to the higher CPM he likely receives.

[Bart Ell]

A $40 CPH (cost per hit) is nothing to sneeze at.
That could probably earn you a $72 CPB (cost per bruise)
If you sit on a cat or really beat the shit out of your live out girlfriend you could get a $893 CPM (cost per murder)
You will still be earning a paltry $1.18 CPBM (cost per blaming Mommy) but you will make up for it with the $7 CPBEE (cost per blaming everyone else)

Oh yeah, kill yourself with FFT (fire for thousands)

No worries.....  we're all puppets in MV's theater.
I plan to leave. You want me to stay. Well, an element of conflict in any discussion's a very good thing. It means everybody is taking part and nobody is left out. If this thread turns into a Falkie love-fest, BartEll and I will be best of Buds.


Speaking of revenue from the Internet. Would it help MV's cash flow if we clink on the ads in this forum?
I see that the ads are very specific to retail commercial sites that I recenty visited.

I forgot how to do the above.


Thanks for the comments on my videos. I'm not pained I'm trying to see what's on the screen in a very small space. And some like the music. I'm trying to cut it down a bit. But it is a bit of a trademark since I don't have the equipment to do the fancy video stuf like others can or it won't work on 2 of my Macs for some reason.


Ours has always been a complex relationship. *snip*

Well.  That actually sounds logical and thought out. 


Who wrote it for you?

I still think he should move the musical portion of his videos to the end, make them an end theme rather than an intro theme.

What would you think if you clicked on some random video to hear topical commentary about, say, Ebola, and the first full MINUTE of the video was a guy doing nothing while some hard-to-hear music plays in his room?  You'd click the video off before he even started talking and you'd never watch another one of his videos, if you're an average person with a short attention span.

I haven't even made it through the music intro....

Oh man, you are missing out.  Seriously.  Falkie is entertainment gold, believe it or not.  He's might be an acquired taste, but he's worth it.

[area51drone]

Falkie, where did you get that Art Bell shirt on that you had in the ALS video?

[WhiteCrow]

It a sad state of affairs in the broadcast world. Guys with talent like Bateman and Falkie can't make dime, while bores like Nooron make millions.


I haven't watched most of Falkie's vids. Falkie or someone else, got a top 10 must see list of Falkie videos?

Spot on. Ive told him to get rid of the music and shorten his videos down to no more than 3 minutes TOPS.  I just cant commit to a 28 minute youtube video.  As far as the music he plays at the beginning, I understand the effect he is going for, but hes going to have to learn video editing to be able to get the effect. Hes going after what ParaBreakdown has in all his videos, his intro. Pretty damn sweet if u ask me.

Good point.  If he shortened each video down to one specific topic of 3-5 minutes, he could produce more videos per day.  And the more videos he produces per day, the more views he gets, the more money he makes. 

He should schedule them to publish throughout the day in order to reach the biggest audience, rather than uploading them all at once in a daily dump.

[area51drone]

As long as he actually does a good number of the short ones, I'm okay with that.    I personally like the 24 minute ones I think those are his sweet spot.   You can really get into Falkie mode when you listen longer.   If he does a bunch of short ones, that could make up for one 24 minute video.   But he has to actually do them, upload them etc.   Short videos take more work.  But I think Falkie has the time to do both short and long videos.

Welcome Back to Bellgab Falkie! I see on your videos that you don't want to be known as Falkie anymore and now prefer The Guy From Pittsburgh.


BartEll is making a lot of noise, that you hit your girl friend, I watched your recent video and believe your explaination, but as you know Bart can be relentless. So to shut him up, make a video of your girl friend, so we can hear and see her explain that she wasn't injured.


Also be wary of the Boy From Down Under, just sayin.

[Falkie2013]

Falkie, where did you get that Art Bell shirt on that you had in the ALS video?

A guy in England came up with the design and gave me permission to use it. I sell them on spreadsheet.com

He will be tracked down and banished to a remote ice flow in the Artic for his indescretion.

Yeah. So many battered women walk into doors and open cupboard doors and say they're not injured, sad but true.

I'd take more notice of Aussies than Falkie's bitch.

Just sayin.

This can't be real world thinking.
It just can't.
Please tell me it isn't.
Holy snotburger, it can't be a real human person coming up with this sort of thing

How many times did you have to hit her to get her to do it?
Piece of shit.

Falkie says she deserves the abuse because she "runs her stupid mouth".
unbelievable.

[Bart Ell]

unbelievable.

As unbelievable as some of the shitstains here thinking his explanation makes perfect sense. Or the other shitstains that think it's fine because she wasn't badly injured. Then the other shitstains who will go against anything I write because I have hurt their feewings before.

DON'T HIT ME!

It's like posters on BellGab have the predisposition to 'pick' sides before the easily available evidence is known. I'd hate to see Falkie run off BellGab based on the 'possibly' of some minor slap on the wrist, that some here are hell bent on turning into a major assault case.
Please hold your judgement until Falkie's girlfriend video is posted....
Let the facts speak for themselves, it's the American way!
