YouTube Kickstarter For Video Producers!

TubeStart is a new way to help video filmmakers make film with crowd funding support developed specifically for YouTube.
If you are a write, director, producer or actor now is the time to create and producer your videos, web series and films.
Finally, a place for creatives to be inspired to make their masterpieces or social media entertainment videos.
Campaigns for $500 - $500,000.00 or subscriptions for $5 or $150 monthly.
I believe that the 99 Cent model works well for I-tunes, eBooks and should be great model for video makers as well.
Since views are keys for advertisers, YouTube will connect the video maker directly with the fans. This is a real game changer.
Slated crowdfunding is for the advanced professional filmmaker with actor/director & producer attachments who have film box office credits.
Maker Studio is a online platform to watch out for and learn more about.
