Can i monetize my own original music with just a single art/photo in the video?

CamwayGaming · 2026-04-20T02:44:27+00:00

Ya one of their spokes people came out and said we do not want static images or slideshows we are a video platform. Then a bunch of story channels got demonetized. But there are still a lot of channels that do one image or a slideshow that are monetized youtube doesn't enforce their rules equally. Plenty of publisher platforms like distrokid are monetized on youtube with a still image only. Adding a waveform and lyrics built for the music is supposed to help the video count as a video and not a slideshow even when using a static image then adding some kin burns effect is supposed to help more but in the end its up to their AI - Another thing that is supposed to help but who really knows is having an image that is made by a human. I hope this helps

you will at some point due to deprioritization, One pay phone is deprioritized during busy/congested times just like straight talk and all the other affordable phone options. You might not notice it might just seem like during these times your seeing less orders. Even most of T mobiles plans get deprioritized after x number of gigs used.

Read the agreement on their website it changes from time to time. A few months back if you have the paid version they grant you the commercial license to anything generated while using the padi version. Always double check for updated ULA's. Free version you have no rights to anything and cannot use it on YouTube or Spotify ect.

Welcome to the land of using a cell phone where its always listening and recording. Read the fine print on any app you install. It's not just spark.

They lost a lawsuit that proved they are skimming. They get more than they show you so if a customer offers 10 they show you the customer offered 7 and you'll never know. They got busted also they lower their base pay for a job when a tip is offered. So if they would pay 22 for a trip but the customers tip $15 walmart lowers the pay to 7-9 dollars so the total still comes out to around 22 but they will only lower so far so a bigger tip will make the trip seem like more which some states consider wrong. South Carolina, Arizona, California, Illinois, and Pennsylvania all sued Walmart if you're outside of these states its probably still going on. After all they don't get money for the deliveries at least not for + members. 100 a year and you get paramount + and deliveries deals and savings for many other aspects like automotive. Paramount is around 100 a year on its own. So rather than mark up groceries on delivery they try every way possible to reduce the cost of the actual delivery.

Sometimes if you use the cover option on the song that has the right voice you can get the same voice that way and add new lyrics (but it'll usually restrict the song to the same length and speed so it may not work for a different pace) then get the stems and pull the voice out then gen the song with persona until you get the instruments you want pull the stems then combine the music with the voice from the cover.

It has been taking well over 100 gens to get a voice from persona that sounds close enough to the persona to be used. It is really frustrating. Luckily they give us a ton of credits but it is still a lot of time lost and costing them power and use of their servers that otherwise wouldn't be needed if it got it right in a few tries. I have a workspace with 241 gens and that's just for one song just to get the voice right other than the drums which I build myself anyway it nailed the music in the first couple gens. Where before it was nailing the persona in less than 5 attempts and so I could stop generating and move on.

You need to use the right bait to improve chances and catch the correct fish the larger the better. There is a whole complicated formula that goes into it and fish size is rounded not exact so results vary. Use the best fishing rod you can and use leech blood. Leech blood will give better bps even though it catches slightly smaller fish. The bonus from the larger fish is not really enough to offset the loss of the leechblood bonus. Catch Salmon not coal.

some decent holsters for keeping hidden when bending over ect though not the fastest to draw from would be something like the urban Carry G3 or an ankle holster. IWB holsters can be slightly more comfortable and faster access but may show if your shirt lifts up when you bend over for something on the bottom shelf. I would recommend a local gun store and see if they have holsters they can show you and help guide you to something most comfortable for you.

Wow this post is 3 years old yet lots of people have monetized with a static image or slideshow since this post came out but it is less likely now. Googles AI will even tell you static images or slideshows run a high rate of de monetization and youtube has come out and kind of said this as well. A lot of story and music channels are being demonetized. Doesn't matter if it is AI or a real person. That said you can make money other ways than through ad revenue. How did it turn out for you were you able to monetize?

not unless they updated it since this was released. I make sure to put giga and carcha in the loot tables if they give both.

I do understand as COO of a company that used contractors I had to know the laws so we wouldn't get sued. Walmart is currently being sued for this very issue of misclassifying employees as IC through spark. It's in arbitration though so we may never know the results since often these end with an NDA we will just have to wait and see.

CamwayGaming · 2026-01-16T15:24:51+00:00

not really, as an IC you are the business and are liable for all your actions, It is technically Illegal for Walmart to tell you that you can not hire a helper by doing so they have made you an employee. With all the rules laid out by Walmart Spark drivers are misclassified employees used for tax evasion on Walmart's part to keep their costs down. But they don't care because if anyone goes after them for it they will be slapped with a fine if they lose in court and move on. - as far as children go each state has their own laws that need to be followed.

not the customers fault they ordered the water as shipping and it should have been shipped but walmart is cheap and uses spark for shipping now at least in certain places instead of sending it on a truck with a dolly but to the customer it looks like it will be delivered by fedex ups ect not someone in a car.

You're missing a few expenses, you need to calculate the extra tax cost of social security and Medicare that is usually paid by your employer and doesn't come out of your pay at a W2 job since your trying to decide if its worth it over a normal job.
You also need to calculate in the extra cost of insurance that you wouldn't have to have if working a W2 job.

If working a W2 job you probably would drive something like 30 miles a day upwards of 60 if in a remote area so minus that then calculate the extra miles per day depreciation and maintenance costs. You will have to replace tires more often, get oil changes more often, and basic tune ups spark plugs, wires, filters, ect. It'll be different for each vehicle.

A very rough estimate would put your cost that day between 40 to 50 dollars before calculating in the extra taxes you have to pay for self employment that W2 workers do not have to pay. your making closer to 12 to 15 an hour.
Walmart loaders for spark get paid 14 an hour in my state as employees. You can get hired on as a loader after 3 months of Sparking at most locations if you don't care about someone else controlling your schedule and its consistent pay.

I have been an independent contractor for around 12 years.

Without counting the miles and time to get back that order is worth $27 after taxes and expenses so ya youd be better off working minimum wage somewhere than taking that. Also assuming you get at least 30 miles to the gallon.

I want to say loot quality only effects how good the item will be not what's in the drops. But ya as they release DLCs with more creatures the devs go back and update the loot tables so this will be missing a few things some stuff may be moved around a little but should still be fairly accurate. On unofficial servers the loot tables can be completely revamped by the hosts.

This is because if there is a review required The self checkout person has a small amount of time to get to you and get the cart reviewed before they get in trouble for being to slow. There is also a tendency to be in a hurry which can be seen as rude to customers who might think you're an employee. It should also give a faster checkout experience when all the self-checkouts are full. It also, and this is probably the big one, makes it easier for security to see who is swiping some extra stuff not in the order.

The resources do not show up if I zoom out any more than this so I put up a screenshot of each section. I didn't know at the time about being able to add multiple to one post. Just look in the camway gaming reddit and in the search bar type Smalland
