RE: STEEM Will Continue To Benefit From YouTube's Mistakes
On my Channel one specific video that went viral makes up the bulk of my earnings but I do pretty well on Amazon and Private Label videos. I also noticed investing related stuff does well ie I did a review on my experience with lending club.
The crypto stuff up until recently hasn't made a ton of money in the past but as popularity grows I think we have more advertisers and due to that they are bidding higher.
Alot of times we hear CPM is $1 or $2. That's true of very vague channels or chanels that don't really cater to advertising so things like prank channels or challenge channels are really popular and people will advertise on there more for brand awareness like a crapload of people are here we'll advertise, however it's not as targeted as say a appliance parts supply store advertising on my video about how to fix a dryer belt.
I heard a funny story about a huge Youtuber who's been in movies, been in magazines and was working at a restaurant for some movie premier opening. Someone went up to her and asked her if it was a gag for a Youtube video and she said no she's a waitress because Youtube doesn't pay the bills and this is someone who's internet famous on a big scale apparently...

I saw a video by either Tanner Fox or Dan Dasilva recently and while I don't always know what to believe the numbers he was throwing out there after doing some rough math was equating to like $40 CPM
One of my channels makes $0.75 CPM and the other one makes $2 CPM.
Dude, if it was that Tanner J Fox guy he makes up all kinds of stuff. Or maybe you are talking about the scrawny Tanner Fox
I'm confused are there two tanner foxs? Your right it was Tanner J Fox. I was watching his altcoin video today and he's talking about he bought 150K of Stellar, he bought 100K of this coin, another 100K of that coin, I finally just had to turn it off. It was basically a video just to make Binance referrals, I can't hate on him there I love the Binance referral program, I'm stacking coins with it as well but at least be honest and provide some value throwing around big numbers of things you've already done and didn't bother cueing anyone else into prior to making these claims really isn't providing any value and if you got a half mill to throw at small obscure cryptos you probably don't need to be using Binance referrals.
Yeah there is like an 17 year old kid named Tanner Fox that does Vlogs and got super popular on YouTube....etc.
I'm like you and I don't want to hate on people or sound like a hater which I've been called a hater a million times on my Trevon James video. LOL
But that Tanner J Fox does kind of tick me off because I really do think his back story and the numbers he says is total BS and his followers all believe his stuff.
I know this sounds like total conspiracy related....etc but even before he started talking about crypto he use to click bait the channel with him standing beside cars in show rooms and in parking lots and he always acted like he had all these trucks and cars. Then when people would ask about them he would say that he sold certain vehicles.....etc. I have a feeling the Lambo Hurican he has now is on like partial ownership / lease with some other people or something which would be smart from a marketing perspective....etc.
A lot of times he will say that he purchased large amounts of stuff....etc. He also was saying he did a $100,000 Bitconnect loan and also purchased like $100,000 Bitcoin but then never showed any of it and then said he got hacked....etc.
A lot of the stuff he says about Amazon and his income coming in I feel is BS. Honestly I think it is all a show but he is doing good getting his followers believing he is a big baller.
He might be able to pull off the Tai Lopez and then suddenly become a big baller by acting like a big baller first. I feel like Tanner is being more deceiving though with it because the numbers he throws out are totally made up in my opinion....... but in the end who knows.
Yeah it's kind of frustrating to me that being genuine and real with people doesn't tend to get you as far as being more of a showman, but I'd just prefer to be real.
Obviously in my niche people want to hear it's easy, people want to hear there's a magical formula hence why every affiliate product is make $5,000 per day in 10 minutes, because people will bite on that more than they will bite on "if your willing to put in hours per day for 6 months with no results, this will eventually pay off".
That said I do have people tell me they appreciate that I'm a real guy and more relatable so at the end of the day I should just be very appreciative I have a great and supportive audience. I realize there's channels much better than mine in terms of production value and stuff with less subs so I really have to try to step up my game and plan on doing so in 2018, I have this obsession with hitting 100k subs and getting that silver play button lol not sure why but I do
I hear you 100%. That is one of the reason I have been subscribed to you for a longtime on YouTube. Because I knew your info was real and was implementable and not all flash. But yeah these guys get way ahead with all the fluff and the flash.
My life is going to change a lot in 2018 and there will be some flash to it but I still want to provide a lot of good insight. But the frustrating thing with Crypto is if I don't just talk positively about every coin people give it the thumbs down when they are invested in it. Like I'm trying to steal their gains. They get aggressive like a dog protecting their bone. LOL
I do want to mix in more life style stuff and if everything works out properly and I get to do the traveling I want to do and have a car like I want to get then there will be enough eye candy and then the real talk to back it up I think it could blow up.....but who knows.
Sometimes I'm too real and then people think it is negative.....etc. My last video is a dose of realism but ultimately my assessment is saying the surge will continue....etc so people still upvote it.....etc.... ahahhaah
You will get the play button for sure. That will be bad ass!
One thing I worry about with my crypto channel is that I might get to 100K subs before they monetize me. That actually happened to a couple other crypto guys.
