OverweightJetsFan Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 My one concern is that I am a touch over 400 pounds and sensitive about my weight. Do you think people will make fun of me or focus on good content? Asman makes a ton of money doing this.

Nixhead Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Jake Asman went to college for broadcasting. He has a lot of connections. I think he also does some ESPN for the Texans. He isn’t some Joe Shmoe that just sat down and started a YouTube channel. That being said if your content is great and people start watching you then there u go! I think your gonna need a lot of confidence and will probably need some good experience to make it as a YouTuber. I couldn’t do it I don’t think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinc855 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 You do you man. As some have joked/alluded to I started making some videos to vent and let it all out after this season. For me, its therapy, I'm not trying to become a YouTuber or make money. For me its just a place to let it out and let a few friends listen. IF you are in it for money, its going to be hard but not impossible. I would recommend just having fun with it like I do. These guys are way advanced in their platforms and some of them literally do it for a living (although they dont make as much as you think) trust me on this. Most normal day jobs are going to pay more. Life is short, do it if you want. No one gives a sh*t what you look like and if they do, they are shallow assholes. But if anyone puts themselves out there you gotta have thick skin. Do you man. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 You need 1000 subs and 4,000 watch hours just to apply to make money How Much Does YouTube Pay You for 1 Million Views? On average, you can earn $2,000 to $15,000 per million views on YouTube. The exact number depends on factors like your content niche, video length, and geographic location. not sure if that is current and correct but I’d probably put my energy somewhere else tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLJ Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 You’re morbidly obese at 400 lbs but there is an amazing market for such a spectacle if done correctly.

CSNY Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Have you ever seen Milana Vayntrub who is the girl that does the AT&T commercials. People have shamed her body and looks although she is a talented and incredibly beautiful woman Unfortunately some people are just inherently cruel and no matter how talented you are how ,interesting the content is or how you look they can just cowardly sit behind a keyboard and type derogatory comments instead of enjoying what you have to say. That being said if you want to do it go right ahead, don’t let the small amount of assholes keep you from doing something you’d like to do I wish you best of luck in this or any endeavor you may undertake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think "expect the worst but hope for the best" would the best approach. I'm already rooting for you, but people are going to be crappy. Heck, we all make jokes (including me) about Crusher (though hopefully they come off good-natured,which they're intended to be. Also, I think he invites it so hopefully it's "all good"). 7 hours ago, DLJ said: You’re morbidly obese at 400 lbs but there is an amazing market for such a spectacle if done correctly.

You have to discern early whether or not it’s gonna click. That dude Blippi made a fortune with sh*t content. You never know what is gonna land with people until you throw a few darts.

People are awkward as hell when they start, just keep putting in the time and effort. People will watch if you provide value and you are genuine. First Video 13 hours ago, OverweightJetsFan said: Asman makes a ton of money doing this. I get he’s good looking so that helps. Love Asman, he's a great dude. He's a little bit of a special case as he is a face for ESPN Houston (was on ESPN NY the other day though!) As far as the money is concerned, YouTube requires you to be apart of the YouTube Partner Program so you'll need: - 1000 subscribers - 4,000 hours of your content consumed or 10m views on shorts. It use to have to happen within a calendar year but I believe that has been lifted. Basically you have to hit those thresholds before you make $1 from a YT channel. YT also garnishes 30% of all channel memberships and 30% of all Super Chats and Donations. If you can edit and make thumbnails that could save you a little money instead of outsourcing. Sponsors for a channel definitely help but you need the metrics to attract the advertisers. There are a lot of layers to making money but my ultimate suggestion is to do it because you enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndianaJet Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The problem with many content creators is that they have no self awareness. There was a guy who started making videos and posting them here. They literally made me uncomfortable to watch. Not only was the content bad, the dude gave off a creepy stalker vibe. Like he drove around in a windowless van with "free candy" painted on the side. Don't be that guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
