Video mentioned: HOW MUCH YOUTUBE PAID ME FOR A 100 MILLION VIEWS VIDEO!
Here we have a video that’s a minute long and it has made about $20,000. That’s approximately $333 per second. I mean, even Bill Gates is probably thinking “Gosh, I need to get into arm wrestling videos!”
You said it wasn’t doing great at first, just a few hundred thousand views… that’s like saying, “Oh, I only found a small pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, nothing major.” Seriously, to all you YouTubers out there, a couple hundred thousand views is nothing to sneeze at, that’s like half the population of Wyoming watching your video.
But then out of nowhere, it starts getting a million views a day. I know we’ve all woken up with unexpected things, but waking up to a million views a day is like finding a unicorn in your backyard.
You wondered if someone bought you views. Now, who’d do that? Secret admirer? Santa Claus finally delivering a belated Christmas gift? Or maybe it’s the arm-wrestling fairy godmother sprinkling her magic on your video!
The revenue kept increasing and I bet it felt like you’d struck oil in your backyard. I mean, that’s some Texas tea right there!
Now this video is the most viewed in arm wrestling. It’s like being the Usain Bolt of arm wrestling videos, only without the sweat and muscle strain.
And you didn’t want to ramble on for 10 minutes. Of course not, why ramble for 10 minutes when you can make the GDP of a small island nation in one?
