Preparation
1. Already with Freedom!? It's really easy to transfer, just go to: http://transfer.paragon.yt
2. If you're partnered with another network, you will need to unpartner your channel from that current network. Contact your network if you need help with this.
3. Make sure you do not have any strikes or claims on your account.
4. Make sure you have verified your account using your phone, you can check this here: https://www.youtube.com/verify
1. To apply, simply go to freedom.tm/LimeBukkit and complete the short application form.
2. Make sure you complete 3 steps of the application, which includes contract signing. If you are not requested to sign a contract, click here. If you still don't see a contract, again, open a ticket :)
3. If you have successfully completed all of the above steps, you will get an email from Freedom titled "Your Freedom Application" - it will say this as we're a Freedom partner! In this email you will find a short video that will show you how to complete the final step of becoming a partner. It will also have your Dashboard username and password, but your account will be limited until you have completed the steps shown in the video. Please note that this email may take several days to come through.

5. After logging into the dashboard on http://freedom.tm/LimeBukkit/login - you can choose what sort of account you want. The options are Musician, Partner & Recruiter or just Recruiter.

6. In order for the money you earn go directly to your PayPal account you need an AdSense account. You can create or link one any time, if you don't complete this step your money will be added to your account and will be ready for withdrawal when you connect your AdSense account so that you don't lose anything. To link your account, click here to read a very short article.
7. As the last step, to make things easier for you when you upload future videos, go to Upload Defaults - and make sure that the options shown in the next screenshot are checked: http://i.imgur.com/BX7reDb.png - this option means that your videos will be monetized by default and you will not have to monetize each new video manually.
That's it! If you did not manage to complete one of the above steps, open a ticket. Our friendly staff is here to help you! We will review your application and fully accept you within 12 hours. It's worth the wait!
