I wanted to do my post on youtubers and how they turned their youtube channels into a place to make some serious money. One of the highest paid you tubers of 2016 had been PewDiePie or Felix Kjellberg with 15 million dollars and 49,756,391 and one of the lowest paid you tubers being the average you tuber who has just a couple of followers, one being there mom, and are making around zero dollars and zero cents off of their channel. The real question is how do you tubers turn their accounts into millions, well after some research I learned that only a small portion of that money actually comes from youtube. Most of the money these youtube stars make is from sponsoring, including advertising in their videos, selling merchandise, and going to fan meet and greets, books, podcasts, and their fame that can lead to other job oppertunitys. So what I learned was that the world of youtube is not where you make your money, but where the rare few have found their fame through youtube that has led to the opportunity and access to marketing deals through advertising, sponsoring and overall the access to making a ton of money.
