YouTube celebrities are mostly teen and twentysomething personalities who create short videos. With millions of viewers, they occupy a strange place on the internet fame spectrum.
Being a YouTube celebrity sounds awesome. You are your own writer, director and boss. Pick a username and work whenever you want. No need to get up early or work on someone else's terms. Moreover, you get chased by millions of adoring fans.
But there is something left behind that you need to know: Most YouTube stars make very little money. The videos may have a million views, but that doesn't necessarily translate into money.
What do you get paid for on YouTube?
Most people think that earning money on YouTube is directly proportional to a number of followers you have. But the reality is different. It's about a number of views and not about some subscribers.
