I posted this thread is an extension of a discussion in another thread about the youtube channel "ALLinWithAri" and the possibility she's just playing the system......very well.
In Ari's case I think she played her role as "a victim of society" perfectly. Combine that with an attractive woman, very well spoken delivery of content, clever use of buzzwords, hashtags, etc. (She more than likely has an IT friend helping her behind the scenes.) And the potential perfect storm is launched.
But enough about Ari, for shitz and giggles, let's talk about gaming youtube for just the idea of making money. Here's what I've learned the past month or so researching, there seems to be 3 primary ways to get monetized fairly quickly. Imop...these 3 are:
1) Setting up a channel where you show some skin. You don't have to be super attractive, just willing to pose in various skimpy outfits doing daily activities like house chores, farming, hunting, fishing, yoga, dancing, etc, you get the point.
2) Acting like a fool and doing things that make people cringe, laugh, etc. Human nature, we love to see people doing stupid things.
3) Regardless if the story is real or scripted, but having a channel where you present a sad situation and document the journey can have a profound effect on people. This is the classic "donate to help me" channel. So many fail at these, but plan it out right, and you just might be the next rags to riches story. Tip: Always "say" you're donating most if not all of the money you get to other people who need help.
Am I missing some other types of channels that can grow quickly? Maybe some kind of political, news, weather, "emergency" channel? I have seen a few channels that have a very smart, articulate host bitching about "the world" on a daily basis, those can do well too.
How do you feel about those types of channels? Have you ever considered developing one of those channels? If the goal is just to make money.....why not? lol..
