Yeager Wants Yer Money

[Sylvain]

So, are his classes not making enough money?

I think they are two different things.
While he's making videos he's not teaching classes and therefore not making money from classes.

How often does he actually teach classes? All of the footage I've seen he's not in. In fact, if I remember right when the INGO members took a class he didn't even teach. I may be wrong.

He won't quit doing Youtube videos because he likes hearing himself talk too much.

I guess he cant teach all the classes all the time.
I have no idea how often he does it though.

He's probably not teaching all the classes because he's busy making the YT videos.
He has to upload them and do all those stuff too so it must take him so time.

I was waiting for someone to say this. If that's the case then he needs to get his priorities straight. I can't make money unless I'm doing my job.

Also, I can honestly say that until today I had no idea people made money on Youtube. I guess I wasn't paying attention.

Well, I say we all pitch in and send him money to stay off the Internet. I'm good for $20.

Yeah but only big Youtubers (that have millions of views and subscribers) that's their job and only source of revenue.

[Vigilant]

Let me get this straight.

If youtube is for people with giant egos, why the hell am I not on youtube 24 hours a day, 7 days a week???!!!

Technical know how, Rose grads just don't got it!

 

[atvdave]

He did that for some years.



Chris Costa sold Magpul training DVDs and doesn't offer free videos.

I think it's pretty cool that James Yeager is willing to give some tips and techniques away, for free, where he could just teach them during classes or sell DVDs.
Not many other firearms instructors do that on Youtube.

Rob Pincus does that too but you have to pay to get access to all his videos where he's actually teaching stuff.

I dont think it's wrong of him to ask for some money.

If it wasn't for his over the top (making a ass of himself) Youtube video's, no one would even know who Yeager even is, like a hand full of other infamous "Youtube" star's.

I wouldn't give for anything that (I'm in love with myself) ass puts out.

Consider Youtube as free advertisement, he but probably doesn't have much of a brain to figure that out.

I think it's interesting to watch the trends Mr. Yeager takes with his videos. For recent months his direction has been product reviews, interviews, trade shows, etc. I hope he's taking a direction back to training and gun advice with his most recent vid:

With his bald head and that beard, I think it looks like his head is on upside down.

Well, I've been giving it a lot of thought. I've been torn, it almost like a duel in my head, but I've come to a conclusion. I'm not going to run away. It's my responsibility to be responsible for a member of the wolf pack. So, I decided to raid my piggy bank...

Everyone should follow my lead. Don't be a coward, don't lie in a ditch and wait for others to get off the X, give what you can.

If this isn't enough to help, I'm thinking about a fund raiser. Pancakes?

I'll send him a penny after I wipe my ass with it.

I spent all of my Printcraft money on armpit hair braiding. My pits look nice, though.

So, if true, he essentially was making good money.... thought everything was fine, YouTube changes their model, and he was caught with his pants down? Well, that's how I see it. If ya'll want give to the man, give, but if you think that's an issue he probably should have planned for (it IS the internet after all), don't.

This. It was a big scuttlebutt months ago in the gaming community, and a harsh lesson for a lot of people. When you hitch your income to someone else's business model you have to be ready for it to turn on you suddenly.

I have to wonder if he gets paid to do the product reviews? I did watch most of the vid and now my right shoulder has some sort of spasm in it, go figure.
