YouTube Channel - Videos Needed

Hey Guys,

I am new to the longboard scene and I have noticed that there aren't to many channels of australian longboarding. My goal is to change that. I have a youtube channel for that purpose now but I need footage and content.

If you have any footage it would be much appreciated and you would receive all credit. I am simply trying to put out Australian Riders skills and abilities into the world.

Cheers!

Youtube partnership isn't hard to get. I get monthly payments from this video and some of my others. Obviously not enough to live off. But it sure does cover a case or two of beer a month.

If you make cash from your channel it would only be fare to split it with the original owners of the content. 70% to THEM atleast.

If a video is good enough, it will be seen by many no matter it's location (YouTube, Vimeo, whatever). Having vids all on one channel will not give the Oz skate seen any more exposure than it's already getting, unless the videos are actually decent. I think you'll find that the quality videos needed to draw people and views to your channel will never make it to your channel as the creator of those vids will want them exclusively on their own Vimeo/YouTube channels. So yes, grab a camera and start creating your own content, but don't expect creators of quality stuff to allow you to upload their work.

Something that you could do to avoid any issues would be to start a website as opposed to a youtube channel. Most of the best videos out their, the creators make some sort of money from it. Be it money from their sponsors or money from Youtube. If you started a website though where you just collected links and posted them up you would be able to choose the content yourself meaning that only quality stuff gets up there, you would be getting hits on your website but not taking (potential) money and views out of the pockets and off the accounts of the creators and if it became good enough then people would strive to have their videos on your site much like they do with Skatehouse or Skateslate.

Plenty of free website builders out there. Doesn't have to be fancy, just needs to be able to embed. You could even have a section for people who regularly send you new and quality content. Like a ''random'' section and a ''common'' section.
