FAQ

1. Are you a Youtube partner?
Yes. If you want to become one, scroll to the bottom of any youtube page and click "Creators and Partners" for more info.

2. How do you get the custom thumbnails?
a. The real question is "How can I get custom thumbnails for my channel?"
Short answer: I have no idea. My custom thumbnails unlocked when my channel hit 5,000 total video views, but I cannot confirm that it will work that way for you.

b. How do you apply custom thumbnails?
Directly next to where youtube generates the three random thumbnails, there is a button to upload your own. Very simple.

4. Why do you copy Tobuscus in your intros?
Why not? He's got good intros and I am a fan.

5. I want to be a guest in one of your videos. How should I go about that?
Don't just add me on Steam and bug me all the time (I'm looking at YOU XxVIPERxX). I have quite a busy schedule and the best way to schedule something with me is to send an email to TacticalBacon00 (at) gmail.com. I will get back to you quickly. You must have Skype and a somewhat decent internet connection and microphone.

6. I don't like X about your videos. FIX X NOW!
Great. Leave me a CONSTRUCTIVE comment or email. I love to make my videos better, but explain what I can do to make my videos higher quality.

7. How much money do you make from youtube?
This has never been about the money for me. If you are doing it for the money, stop now. In five months, I have made a grand total of TWENTY WHOLE DOLLARS! I do this for enjoyment.
