Janet mentioned this to me in a thread yesterday but I dont want it buried...
https://rumble.com/c/FreeperVideos
She says starting in the new year she intends to donate 40% of the Ad revenue from the channel to Free Republic as a donation every month.
I couldn't think of a better and more sustainable way to help the site and keep the lights on.
Think about it.
FR generates a lot of clicks so why not make sure the site benefits?
It's a no-brainer.
I notice currently there are 384 followers.
Hopefully we can improve on that!
Follow the account on Rumble and if you have any interesting videos to add then mail Janet!

What kind of videos will do well?
Anything Freepers are interested in: Current events, news, politics, the conservative movemement and I'm guessing more controversial/conspiracy content would go down well on there.
I think it's a good idea...

Sports Betting?

“Why am I doing this? See my tagline. Independent media must be supported
This helps Rumble, FreeRepublic, and the developing conservative eco- system”
I applaud you... This is what more conservatives should be doing to actually make a difference. Get proactive and get off their butts and do something substantial like this for the overall cause of freedom. Until we care and “lift a finger” nothing is going to get done towards turning the tide.
Absolutely well done Janet and thank you for the positive example of what true activism is supposed to look like!
Some stats so far
Dec 1-11th $9.49 total followers 340
Beta launch
Dec-12 $9.27 375 followers + 35
Dec-13 $7.93 395 followers + 25
Starting today I am going promote more Freeper Videos on social media sites
If you go to the playlist tab, I can add sort videos by Freeper name so you can each have a folder
However I’m not sure if I’m going to do this because it’s time consuming
Perhaps A few die Hards and people that help promote the Channel

This is a good idea eventually you’ll be able to let us have sub-accounts I’m sure that’s coming as a feature?
Just keep doing what you can in terms of time and adding videos.
$10 or so bucks is great Jim would be so happy with that and you haven’t even started properly.
I think this will work well for the site and it’s a nice sustainable income.
Don’t listen to whoever is tagging this as solicitation, etc.
Hosting bills need to be paid and it’s not cheap.
This is one of the best ideas ive seen in years!
👏👏👏
Like you Janet I like the eco-system principle
Hosting bills need to be paid and it’s not cheap

I started the Freeper video channel for people that were banned from twitter back in the day and posted them there with links in the FR article
Back then Monetization sucked.. today it’s much better
I never did this for the money , it’s a mission
Anyway I checked the income Freeper video channel made in it’s lifetime through nov 30, 2023 and it was $24.88
So I just made a $20 donation to FR
An admin can confirm
Just saw this Rumble channel, the other day!
Was curious who it belonged to.
Good to know. Thx!
update:
Added the playlist “Climate Change Cult”
https://rumble.com/playlists/A1yWMNgeX0g
Added the playlist “Hey Boo Boo!” (you know)
https://rumble.com/playlists/LV4NXbKxcxk
Yes, you get ads on the desktop version of Rumble too. Maybe they only recently "monetized" Rumble.
I didn't know you could pay to remove the ads.
Meanwhile I just signed up for Tucker's Reclaim The Net, as a founder.

Are you logged in with your user name and still see ads?
I know if you are signed out you do , but last time I checked without my upgrade to “pro” you didn’t see ads
I don’t think people understand how important Rumble will become
I’m not talking about just videos
Their cloud will play an important role too
But especially their ad center because not only are non woke content creators monetized there but also more 3rd party conservative web sites
That google ads won’t touch ( ie truth social)
They have also hinted around at future Consumer e-mail
I didn’t know you could pay to remove the ads.

On desk top go to account overview
Right hand side scroll down to “pro packages”
Click and select “basic”for $10 a month
Some of us Rumble die hards have it just to give them $10 a month for support
For comparison they made 32 cents per active monthly user last quarter
This is why YouTube loves it when people upgrade to ad free
They make much more money per user
(Although per MAU ad rev is much better then Rumble)
I just signed in with my 2nd Rumble account (which I forgot about until now) that isn’t the “pro” version and I see no ads
When I sign out I do
Update 3
Added a random live feed so we can live chat
Right now it’s jelly fish but it may get dark soon
The whole point is a place to chat
The live feed may go down at times if my Internet feed is interrupted or the cat pulls out the charger on my computer while I’m at work (she’s obsessed with it)
Everyone once in a blue moon It may go live with an actually news feed but I will try to keep something up at most times just for the chat

Update
Added background pics (may change )

Good morning
I have decided to allocate the proceeds to the channel by the following. In this hypothetical example the channel makes $450 a month (ave $15 per day)
1) Min 40 percent donation to Freepublic ($180)
(That’s $540 a quarter)
2) Min 5 percent donation to a Conservative cause
($22.50)
3) Min 5 percent goes into a pot that will be used
For occasional “targets of opportunity” such as possible conservative crowdfunding ( Think Canadian truckers, or Kyle Rittenhouse defense fund) or ($22.50)
23% will go to support independent media on Rumble and/or addition to the 3 mentioned above (that’s why they say min)
That leaves taxes
27 percent fed and state (IL sucks 5% state)
These funds will be deposited in my soon to opened account at https://oldglorybank.com
Where they will just sit
I will make up the difference by paying taxes with my other assets at the end of the year
Old glory bank advertises on Truth social
So it helps with income for both Truth Social and Rumble (they use Rumbles ad center) so I am going to support them
So in this example $122 would be added to the deposits of Old Glory Bank
How can you help? Just share the videos on your social media or text a friend
Also visit the advertisers and support them
Spend some $$ interested
