How Rich Can You Get on YouTube?

Turns out, pretty rich actually. But how much money are we talking about?

For starters, according to a study, becoming a professional YouTuber has officially become the most desirable  jobs on the planet.

Which makes sense given some of the biggest YouTubers are generating more money than professional athletes.

The amount of money they are generating is pretty crazy. Here are some of the top content creators on YouTube with the highest earnings.

 

These Top YouTubers Are Making How Much Money?

  1. Ryan’s World — $22 million
  2. Jake Paul – $21.5 million
  3. Dude Perfect – $20 million
  4. Daniel Middleton (DanTDM) – $18.5 million
  5. Jeffree Star – $18 million
  6. Mark Fischbach (Markiplier) – $17.5 million
  7. Evan Fong (VanossGaming) – $17 million
  8. Sean McLoughlin (Jacksepticeye) – $16 million
  9. Felix Kjellberg (PewDiePie) – $15.5 million
  10. Logan Paul – $14.5 million

 

Which begs the question, how many views do you have to get on your YouTube channel to get a fat paycheck?

How Much Can You Make Off Your YouTube Videos?

YouTubers charge brands anywhere from $10 to $50 per 1,000 views, depending on the estimated amount of total views for the pending video. If the video hits 1 million views, then the YouTuber makes anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000.

Crazy right? But there’s a little more to it than that. Here’s the catch…

The Truth About Making Money on YouTube

The vast majority of YouTubers don’t make any money and despite how easy people think it is. Creating a quality YouTube audience and content is a hell of a lot harder than most people think. And it’s only getting harder…

It’s a competitive marketplace. As of 2022, there are more than 51 million YouTube channels out there. The number of channels is growing strong: last year it grew by 36%. People all around the world are creating a YouTube channel, and uploading 500 hours of video every minute.

But obstacles be damned, if you’re up to the task and are interested in cashing in on the billions of people tuning in to watch YouTube videos (and ads), here’s a video that breaks down exactly how to make money using the giant cash printing machine:

Guy Can’t See His Girlfriend, Invents Zoom and Makes $139 Billion Instead…

The video conference app (Zoom) that brought the world together during COVID was invented by a guy named Eric Yan who built it to video call his girlfriend.

Here’s how it happened…

WATCH:

 

Who Invented Zoom?

Eric Yuan is the Founder and CEO of Zoom. He was born and raised in Tai’an, Shandong Province, China.

Eric had been inspired to find a solution to visit his girlfriend, so he developed a piece of video telephone software in 1987. A decade later, Eric moved to San Francisco and was one of the first 20 hires on the WebEx team. In fact, Eric was one of the founding engineers and proved crucial to the success of its online meetings product.

Ouch. Cisco Turned it Down?

WebEx was acquired by security and networking giant, Cisco, in 2007 for $3.2 billion. Under Cisco’s new ownership Eric became Cisco’s VP of engineering. At Cisco, Eric pitched them his original idea for a mobile-friendly video system. They turned it down…

This mobile friendly video system is what became Zoom.

They Couldn’t Have Gone Public at a Better Time…

In April 2019, Zoom went public. Zoom stock shot above its $36 IPO price almost immediately and peaked at $104.49 in mid-2019.

In early 2020, the world was rocked by the coronavirus pandemic, with millions of people forced to work from home. In March, Zoom was downloaded 2.13 million times in just one day.

Today, Zoom has some staggering usage stats with over 300 million daily meeting participants and 3.5 trillion annual meeting minutes,

Thanks to Eric’s girlfriend in 1987, Zoom has become the world’s biggest video conferencing giant.

Video Exposes the Most Powerful Company You’ve Never Heard of. The Blackrock Story

Blackrock is a company that virtually no one had heard of until recently. They have become one of the largest organizations on the planet with $9 trillion in assets under management.

That’s larger than the gross domestic product (GDP) of every single country around the globe, with the exception of China and the United States.

 

WATCH:

 

For perspective, the grand total of wealth funds managed by over 91 funds across the world is projected to be worth approximately 8.2 Trillion US Dollars. A single investment management firm based out of New York manages more funds than all the sovereign wealth funds in the world.

Crazy right? In fact…

If you were to make $1 every second, you’d be worth as much as BlackRock in about 240,000 years.

What’s more, if you research every major publicly traded company in the world and you’ll find that BlackRock is its first, second or third-largest shareholder. They also apparently own part of CNN and FOX.

How Much of the Media Does BlackRock and Vanguard Own?

  • 18% of Fox
  • 16% of CBS (and therefore also ofSixty Minutes)
  • 13% of Comcast (which owns NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, and the Sky media group)
  • 12% of CNN
  • 12% of Disney (which owns ABC andFiveThirtyEight)
  • Between 10-14% of Gannett (which owns more than 250 Gannett daily newspapers plusUSA Today)
  • 10% of the Sinclair local television news (which controls 72% of U.S. households’ local TV)

So yeah they own a  pretty influential piece of the news.

Where Did Blackrock Come From Anyway?

The Company was co-founded in 1988 by a very well-connected billionaire by the name of Larry Fink, who has been described as “a defacto middleman and lynchpin between Washington, DC, and Wall Street.” The firm operates globally with 70 offices in 30 countries and clients in 100 countries.

BlackRock started making headlines during the 2008 financial meltdown.

When the financial crisis of 2007-2008 hit, the US government hired BlackRock to clean up the mess from the crisis by managing the toxic assets that were owned by firms like the Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Freddie Mac. In fact, even amidst the current financial crisis caused due to the Coronavirus outbreak starting in 2020, the Trump administration turned to Blackrock to bail out companies overleveraged in debt. the government is once again looking for BlackRock’s expertise.

Today, at least three of BlackRock’s leaders now hold prominent roles in President Joe Biden’s cabinet.

Given the company’s habit of forming shadow cabinets ahead of presidential transitions and its involvement in the new Federal reserve programs, Bloomberg even went as far as calling BlackRock our “fourth branch of government.”

Pretty impressive positioning for a company that’s only 34 years old.

40% of All the Money Ever Printed in the US, Was Printed in the Last 12 Months?

The Federal Reserve has been printing money like it’s going out of style in an attempt pay for about $29 trillion in U.S. debt. While it’s nothing new for a government to print money to cover some debt, what is new however, is that the 40% of US dollars in existence were printed in the last 12 months alone.

Which doesn’t seem like it will end well…

 

WATCH:

 

Why is the US Printing So Much Money?

As part of its effort to stimulate the economy, the U.S. government issued stimulus checks to millions of employed Americans. With money they didn’t have…

The government had to borrow by selling its debt in the form of U.S. Treasury bonds and other types of securities.

On a similar but not altogether different note, here’s Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet explaining how, if the government prints too much money, it ends up like Venezuela.

 

WATCH:

 

How Much Money Will the U.S. Print This Year?

For the 2022 fiscal year, a range of 6,876,800,000 to 9,654,400,000 pieces of money will be printed, totaling from $310,572,800,000 to $356,179,200,000.

The Ukrainian Immigrant Who Sold WhatsApp to Facebook for $19.3B

Jan Koum is a Ukrainian-American billionaire businessman and computer engineer. He’s the co-founder and former CEO of WhatsApp, a mobile messaging app that was acquired by Facebook in 2014 for an absolutely mind boggling $19.3 billion.

Facebook paid $12 billion in stock and the rest in cash. What’s even more badass than the exit was the fact that Koum arranged for the $19 billion deal to be signed at the same welfare center he used to collect his welfare checks in his teens. Only this time, he drove there in his Porsche.

Jan moved to California from Ukraine when he was 16. As a young immigrant, Koum and his mother had to rely on food stamps. Koum became interested in programming and eventually landed a job at Yahoo! Where he worked for 9 years.

Then in January 2009, Koum bought an iPhone and realized that the then seven-month-old App Store was about to spawn a whole new industry for app creators.

WATCH: The Secret to Five Guys Franchise Success

Five Guys is a burger chain of restaurants with over 1,700 locations doing $2.3 billion in sales founded by a dad and his 4 sons (hence, the 5 guys).

For comparison, there are a total of 378 In-N-Out Burger locations and 350 Johnny Rockets.

Worth mentioning, in addition to the 1,700 locations, Five Guys has an additional 1,500 restaurants currently in development. So if you haven’t been to one yet, just wait.

In just 2 decades, Five Guys has become one of the fastest growing, successful restaurant chains in the United States making them a brand worth knowing and a model to look into.

The Five Guys Origin Story:

In 1986 the founder, Jerry Murrel, along with his 4 sons started a single burger restaurant. As the story goes: Parents Jerry and Janie Murrell offered  an ultimatum to their four sons: “Start a business or go to college.”

The business route won and the Murrell family opened a carry-out burger joint in Arlington Virginia with the following business plan:

“Sell a really good, juicy burger on a fresh bun. Make perfect French fries. Don’t cut corners.”

When they say they don’t cut corners, they mean it. Fun fact: there are no freezers at any Five Guys locations, just coolers. Because freezers aren’t necessary when you only serve fresh food.

By concentrating on quality, they scaled the business model built on high ingredient costs, a limited menu, and absolutely zero paid advertising. They also refuse to deliver. Five guys doesn’t deviate from what they’re good at. Cooking badass cheeseburgers.

Five Guys Opened Franchise Locations in 2003

Early in 2003, the “Five Guys,” began offering franchise opportunities. In just under 18 months, Five Guys Enterprises sold options for more than 300 units. The overwhelming success of franchising a local restaurant made national news and word spread to new markets.

In an episode of Company Man (with 1.2M views), they break down the full history and the unique way the Murrell family grew the Five Guys unbelievable growth story.

WATCH:

Getting hungry yet?

Three Key Lessons Driving the Success of Five Guys: 

#1 Simplicity of menu – F#$% chicken sandwiches!

“When we first started, people asked for coffee. We thought, Why not? This was our first lesson in humility. We served coffee, but the problem was that the young kids working for us don’t know anything about coffee. It was terrible! We tried a chicken sandwich once, but that did not work, either. We do have hot dogs on our menu, and that works. But other than that, all you are going to get from Five Guys is hamburgers and fries.” – Jerry Murrell

#2 Obsession with old school quality control

“The magic to our hamburgers is quality control. We toast our buns on a grill – a bun toaster is faster, cheaper, and toasts more evenly, but it doesn’t give you that caramelized taste. Our beef is 80 percent lean, never frozen, and our plants are so clean, you could eat off the floor. The burgers are made to order. That’s why we can’t do drive-thru’s – it takes too long. We had a sign: “If you’re in a hurry, there are a lot of really good hamburger places within a short distance from here.” People thought I was nuts. But the customers appreciated it.” – Jerry Murrell

#3 No paid advertising. Word of mouth is still a thing?

You read that correctly. Five Guys doesn’t do advertising. Jerry believes that the customer is the biggest salesperson:

“Treat that person right, he’ll walk out the door and sell for you. From the beginning, I wanted people to know that we put all our money into the food. That’s why the décor is so simple – red and white tiles. We don’t spend our money on décor. Or on guys in chicken suits. But we’ll go overboard on food.” – Jerry Murrell

Badass…

All the Brands Pepsi Owns Will Shock You…

Pepsi is a brand that everyone knows, because as their website states, their products are sold in 200 countries. Which is pretty freaking crazy considering Google says there are only 195 countries on earth…So it’s safe to assume they have officially saturated their target market.

But as big as they are, they’re even bigger than you might think.

Pepsi is no longer a beverage brand. They are now Pepsi Co, a conglomerate that consists of 23 brands that generate of $70B in annual revenue. Pepsi is one of the biggest companies on the planet.

 

A Brief History of Pepsi:

Pepsi was originally promoted as “Brad’s Drink” in New Bern, North Carolina in 1893 by Caleb Bradham, who crafted it at his drugstore. It was later renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898, “Pepsi” because it was advertised to relieve dyspepsia (indigestion) and “Cola” referring to the cola flavor.

You read that right, Pepsi was originally marketed as a cure to an upset stomach.

As product sales increased, the company pivoted overtime to appeal to a larger audience and diversify its products.

Fast forward to 1950 Alfred N. Steele, a former VP of Coca-Cola Company, became the CEO. He focused on creating giant advertising campaigns to increase sales. His efforts increased Pepsi’s earnings 11-fold during the 50s and made it the instant competitor of Coca Cola.

In 1965 Pepsi-Cola merged with Frito-Lay, Inc. They then diversified further with the purchase of three restaurant chains:

Looking to add even more diversification PepsiCo acquired both the Tropicana and Dole juice brands from the Seagram Company in 1998, and in 2001 it then merged with Quaker Oats company.

Here is the massive list of brands Pepsi Co owns today.
