I have been with freedom for some time now .. and I am still a little confused.
Being in the tech field one gets an understanding how to explain things to those who are less PC inclined I should say.

Something I wish this site would do from time to time. What exactly is Freedom?
From what I gather it's a place for you to go to the forums and welcome people to Freedom, and pop one of your videos in the video channel now and again and ask for advice in the hopes you get some exposure for your channel. In its simplest form .. am I right?

What's the difference from using this to using say google adwords? Obviously this is free yes, but you think google adwords would have better exposure to people more suited for your videos.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy being a part of the freedom family .. I just want someone to explain to me in nice clean crisp detail .. what I should focus on when I come to this site .. and what I should not plain and simple. What is all this other stuff? heartbeat, startup guide, playnow, music, sponsorships, make a game, prospects .. o my!

Too much fluff in one place .. Freedom needs two sites, Freedom and Freedom Lite lol

Thank you

Freedom! is a YouTube Network having a few advantages like no minimum payout on Earnings and access to top-of-the-line music platforms whch have music for you to use in your videos and many more. The Network is the main brand though the Forums here are used for mainly partners to communicate and talk to others as well as collaborate. The videos on the Freedom! YouTube channel (or Freedom! Central) are mainly oriented towards helping you grow your channel (and a lot towards promoting the Network). As of the difference to AdWords I think you meant Google AdSense? Because AdWords is what allows you to make Advertisements that will be displayed for other Websites while Google AdSense is mainly directed towards putting the Advertisements onto your Website / YouTube Channel. The main difference between Freedom! and AdSense partnerships are the Freedom! offers you some sponsorships and assets like for example music to use in your videos while AdSense YouTube partnering is mainly oriented towards the YouTube Money and doesn't offer these. As of the "other stuff" you were referring to:
  • Heartbeat is a Browser Extension for YouTube like TubeBuddy or vidIQ that gives you some extra features on the YouTube website.
  • The Startup Guide is what explains you most things about the Freedom! Dashboard and lets you understand its features and Offerings.
  • PlayNow is Freedom!'s semi-new referral link system. You make a video reviewing the product shown and you get a link to put into the video description. After that you will receive a small commission for people clicking on that link or buying the product through it.
  • The Music sites (Tunes.tm, PositionMusic.com, AudioMicro and the other one I can't remember right now) allow you to get music you can use in your videos as a Freedom! Partner. You will not have any copyright issues whilst using that music as a Freedom! Partner.
  • Sponsorships allow you to get some features like Epoxy, a tool for managing Social Media (it's really powerful) and other things like being partnered on Hitbox. Click through them a bit and see if there's some things there that interest you.
  • Make a Game is a thing you can go onto a site for and make a Game and share it with other Partners or play the games other Partners have made. It's pretty optional and random.
  • Prospects can track the people you have referred to join the Network through your personal Referral Link (e.g. http://freedom.tm/via/LW001 ). You will receive part of their earnings (they will NOT lose any money through that) for two years after you get them to join through that link.
I've been making a guide on the entire Dashboard for a while now so I know quite a lot about it by now. If you have further questions, reply!
