Here is the thing about making videos online. If you had told someone just a decade ago that your full time job involved making YouTube videos for a living, they would respond in one of two ways. The first thing they would have said I what is YouTube and the second is they would have told you that no one will ever make a decent living making internet videos.
But no one can predict the turns and changes in the trends of society over the period of a decade. Nowadays thousands of people find that they can make a majority to all of their income just from posting videos online. It is a quite astounding thought that most would not have dreamed of.
One such online entrepreneur is a man who goes by the name Jeremy Jahns. Jeremy is a 26 year old YouTube movie reviewer.
After high school Jeremy was just a normal working class movie theatre employee who thought that was going nowhere until he started to invest in making a YouTube channel in 2009. Quickly he gained subscribers and found that if he was to put the right amount of work into his channel that he could turn his hobby into a full time career.
Today Jeremy has over 500,000 subscribers and his channel is his only source of income.
Mike, great post! I watch a few YouTube channels myself and think it’s so cool how it has become a career for so many. There are so many young YouTubers that have become successful. Zoella, Alfie Deyes, Joe Sugg, Tyler Oakley, Lohanthony, Connor Franta, Superfruit, Caspar Lee, and the list could go on. Many of these names are either in their early 20s and late teens. It’s so great that YouTube has created an outlet for people like these to share their creativity with the world.
