Curse Union for Gamers - May Be the Best Gaming YouTube Network 2014 and Beyond


I know I've talked about YouTube's upcoming monetization change regarding YouTube networks for the past few days and you all are probably sick of it, but this may be the last you'll hear from me until it actually goes into effect.

I was reading around on YouTube community forums and stumbled upon a network I've never heard about and desperately wished I had from the start—Curse Union for Gamers.

Just simply clicking on the link above and going to their website will amaze anyone with what they're offering to their partners if you join their network, including:
  • Custom-designed tools to help you manage your video content     
  • A comprehensive dashboard to display analytics and keep you informed     
  • Ability to promote across multiple Curse platforms     
  • 90% revenue share, no lock-in, and complete branding control
The 90% revenue share is probably the highest percentage I've seen offered from a network. With the added bonus of no lock-in (meaning you aren't bond tied to them for a specific amount of time via contract), I think this is some serious stuff to beat!

But the most beneficial bit of it all, which is actually somewhat obscured, is that they are planning on making 95% of their partners as managed instead of affiliates. The other 5% will be for newly joined partners, but soon will be also shifted to managed after a few weeks of no copyright issues. At least this is what they issued publicly, although things like these can always be subjected to alterations.

Now, if you read my previous post, you know how crucial it is to become managed instead of affiliate to retain instant monetization and avoid YouTube review. Becoming managed on other networks will be a demanding task, as they are likely to put only their owners and very large channels in this category.

Curse Union for Gamers do have a requirement to join, but these are very lenient. They are: 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 views in the last month or 8,000 views in the last month + 80% videos are gaming related.

I really think if you want to survive and thrive in 2014 and beyond with a gaming channel, you're going to want to join something like Curse Union for Gamers. I for one will be immediately disbanding my ties with RPM Networks and joining them as soon as my contract expires. Not that I hate RPM Networks, but I feel Curse Union for Gamers offers so much more. Unfortunately, I will have to wait for 2015 for that to happen, as I found out I am already too late to cancel the second year auto renewal. That's a hint to you also—always thoroughly read the contract, know the details and what you're getting into before signing and remember cancellation deadlines if you plan on leaving!

Make Easy Extra Cash with SurveySavvy Surveys

I'd like to share with everyone a website I've been involved with for a long time, and one that's been helping me bring in spare extra cash that I've been splurging myself with—SurveySavvy.


Now, it's probably what you're exactly thinking. It's one of those websites that gives you money per survey you complete, right? Correct.

SurveySavvy is clearly one of the best paid survey websites I've used, and over the years I've used many, including SurveySpot, Opinion Outpost, Sendearnings, Inboxdollars and others. The amount of surveys they invite you to daily is very high (around 1-3 per day) and the amount you get paid is top notch. I usually receive surveys from anywhere from $1.00 all the way to $20.00. Depending on the incentive received, these surveys will take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour to complete.

I've gotten invited to and allowed to participate in quite a few awesome and memorable studies. Here are some of them:

Get paid $5 every month for letting SurveySavvy look at all the spam e-mail in your account.
No, it's not some horrible scam to lure you into having a evil doer steal your e-mail account and identity, it's an awesome study that helps study what kind of spam e-mail companies and individuals are sending customers and random people. The best part about this? You don't even have to do anything! It's like you're getting paid for free! I have no idea what exactly they are deciding to do with their findings, but hopefully they'll use it somehow to try to cut back on the annoying spam e-mails!

Get paid $10 every month for letting SurveySavvy take all your junk mail.
We're talking about real mail here, not electronic e-mail (you know, the physical ones that usually comes in envelopes). But this right here is a double pro. Not only are they getting rid of your junk mail for you for free, but they in addition are paying you to do so! The process is even ridiculously simple: just put all your junk mail in one of their prepaid envelopes they send you, send it off to them, and just wait for the payment check!

Get paid for eating food.
Yes, you heard me right. SurveySavvy has several studies where they'll actually send you free food samples and you get to eat them AND you get paid! How cool is that, getting paid to eat free food? Of course, you still have to take a survey giving them feedback after you've eaten the food. In the recent years, I've gotten full bloody meals from them that I could eat once and not be hungry again for the rest of the day.

Get paid for testing out physical products.
Essentially similar to the above, except instead of being edibles, these ones are physical products you use on yourself or whatever. Some of the things I've been sent are shower soaps, shaving cream and skin lotions. They almost always send you a generous amount, so it's almost the same as buying a full sized product of that kind from the store.

Can you be rich with SurveySavvy or other survey websites? Probably not, but it's not pennies either. Combined with another survey website I recommend (SurveySpot), I have made around $1,000 in a little over a year. That's quite a bit of extra money!

I guarantee you'll have a fun time taking their surveys, participating in some of their special studies mentioned above, and getting paid for it. It's also especially good to know that you're giving feedback to help improve upcoming products and other things.
