well there are certain rules. we wouldn't make 50,000 a month.
a lot of our views come from cover songs. and covers are ineligible for making money through ads. idk it's complicated.
however, our vlogs will make money. if we choose to post original music(which we will if we get accepted into the program)..that will make us a lot of money.

So what's the ball park figure of how much you would make? A few hundred? Thousands?
And that's a dumb rule. People come to youtube for the covers! Original compositions really don't seem to be viewed as much.

Honestly. lol it was planned in the sense that we were trying to think of a clever way to start the video..but everything was failing. so instead of deleting all of the fails..we just decided to have those open up the video. LOLZ

Original compositions really don't seem to be viewed as much. yes, and no. YES, people come to youtube to view covers..based off of your covers, you develop a fan base. we only have 10,000 people BUT those people are fairly dedicated and loyal followers. they constantly check our channel..etc. if we post a video of an original song that is not available for sale on itunes..those fans would HAVE to come to youtube to listen to the song.(giving us more views/comments) that's why some of the biggest videos on youtube are the official music videos. if you look at all of the youtube "celebrity" musicians..they have a few covers that are HUGEEE but their original song is always up there in the mix as one of their biggest viewed videos. so you won't nescessarily GAIN new fans by posting an original composition, you will just make your fan base stronger..if that makes sense. and again with the salaries, i have NO idea how much we would make. partners are REQUIRED to sign a contract that they are not allowed to discuss salaries. but i know for a FACT that we wouldn't make enough money to live off of a youtube salary.

Yeah, especially since there's three of you so you guys are gonna split it When are you guys coming out with that EP though? well for right now the money that we're making from selling posters/merch is all going into a communal bank account that is being saved up so that we can buy more studio time. the money that we would be making from youtube would be put towards that as well. we're not sure with an EP just yet. we don't want to randomly put out an album when no one has shown interest in really reaching out to us. we would want at least somebody to give us a bit of a push. and of course it costs soooo much money to record. we need help financially to fund the project!

How is your home studio set up? I think for now maybe you should try to focus on getting a decent home studio set up if that's more feasible. And when you guys sign with a label, they'd probably rerecord everything anyway.

we don't have a home studio.
and at this point it's counter productive because the equiptment is sooo expensive..and we don't really know how to use anything other than garage band. for right now, it's cheaper to pay to have someone else mix it and to use their studio.

if you want to watch the first one, we recorded it here: www.ustream.tv/recorded/8442466and the concert footage - if you go to our youtube channel, we have it in our favorites section. WE did not post videos from the concert but these kids who came to see us from canada filmed the whole show. they broke it down into 5 parts i think. www.youtube.com/user/crowleybrothers

I just saw some of this chat. Interesting things I learned *Brian's school is near Connecticut *Brian is the only member of the family who was never in student council.....but he would make a good political campaign guru/advisor *Xander The Dog is a small white fluffy dog! For some reason, I thought it was a big brown one *The band got their start covering Pork and Beans but don't play to cover any Toni Braxton songs
