Here’s a business thought from a guy that has no clue about videos/content/making money from it… but I do own my own unrelated business (engineering firm).
What I would do if I were trying to make it in your line of business…
I’d create a badass video of a badass game… big game, one that has huge following for both teams, and one that’s meaningful… huge rivalry, district championship implications, playoff games etc.
I’d pour my talents into that game, and get a great video. I’d share that video on your platform, but also directly tag the schools/coaches on all platforms. The video should get tons of views (which I think generates some money?)… but the real money would come from you simply telling the truth. Humbly ask for donations explaining that your work is work. What you do takes time and effort and you do it for the love of the game, the love for the kids, and the love of just doing it. Ask people to smash the share button, yes of course, but definitely ask for donations and post links on where to donate… if even ONE percent of your following donates $20-$40 (some will donate more, some less)…. That’s $2k-$4k for that video… rinse/repeat. In time, you’ll up that minuscule 1% to 5%… now you’re making $10k-$20k per video… and it’s a self feeding cycle… the more badass videos you put out, the more followers you get, the more people willing to donate a few bucks.
Just something to think about.
In theory, you‘ve got a 6 figure business on your hands doing a few games a year… all in donations. And don’t be shy, all donations count… $1, $5… whatever anyone is up for.

You want me to ask followers unwilling to pay $4.99 to instead pay $20-$40 just because I change the terms to "donations" instead of "subscriptions"? lol c'mon man. And I have asked for donations in the past. You and 1 other person donated. That's it. Here's why I neeeeed people to SHARE what I post... because when you run the kind of page that I do Facebook wants me to spend money advertising each individual post. Literally every single post I make has a "boost" button on it that I can click on to pay money to have my post be seen by more people. Facebook holds my posts back intentionally because it wants to make me have to pay money to them. Nope. I'm not wasting my own money on something that people aren't even willing to subscribe to.

Face Maybe the STFU dudes can chime in. I think they run off of donations and sponsorships. But if you think the “donation model” doesn’t work… I have 100% proof that it does. All churches run off that same model. Maybe follow the lead of a pastor on how he or she gets money out of pockets. Lol

It's as simple as this. If the consumer is not willing to buy what you're trying to sell it's not their issue. It's yours. You need to change what you're selling to what there is a demand for.

That logic isn't for this. I do what I do and it's not changing. I'm not changing what I do to try and make money. This is what I do. People in this area are just cheap and not supportive of this kind of content and that's what it comes down to.

My best friend's brother is a POS who was in and out of jail for years. Now he claims to be a pastor and gets all kind of donations to the point he has multiple vehicles, multiple $7k bulldogs and even a monkey and all with no job and just doing his fake pastor b.s. So yeah I realize there's money to be made in donations.

I guess I’m a bet confused. What would you like locals to do? Just except not everyone will agree with you Sorry Chino you’re comical and offer some good ideas.

It's not about money. You're complaining people aren't reacting the way you want to "what you do" but refuse to accept "what you do" doesn't cause that response.

Stop it lol. People around this area are just cheap and non-supportive. 3 sports blitz and Friday night fever pages don't do any better either. Like I said people around here are just...

What if you picked a game of the week, live stream it with commentary, and sell ad space to local businesses?

I appreciate the input from everyone but I think you're all missing what I'm upset about. It's not the money. It's the lack of support for local creators around this area. You think if I was doing this in the Valley I'd have 0 paid subscribers? No. In San Antonio? No.
