Guess Who’s Monetizing Now?


I got a notice from Google on my “Learning from YouTube” YouTube channel. Apparently I passed some metric and have enough traffic to qualify to money-up with Google. While I am quite worried that I’ve signed away more than I’ll ever know, I felt that the learning mandate of this course demands that I go for it. We’ve been talking about Google’s (and corporate and money’s reach) on YouTube in class, and we can now watch how (or if) that happens in real time.

(Guess what: my first ad was for “Mad Men.” Good choice)

I given even make money on Monetizing Learning (above!). See Details below.
