Most people do not have any realistic idea of what it’s like to be a millionaire let alone at the age of 9 years old. Since the creation of EvanTubeHD in 2011, Evan has been providing kid friendly content to YouTube through toy reviews and building Lego sets online. He began doing this at 5 years old and has since created a massive brand name for himself. This prepubescent entrepreneur has three separate channels on YouTube and has amassed more than 5.9 million subscribers as well as more than 3.6 billion views on his page. To top off the young man’s impressive feats, the page is estimated to make $1.3 million a year. The good thing is, Evan is putting some of the money towards future education and is continuing to chase his aspirations. Jared’s father stated, “We’ve already maxed out certain accounts, so I think the college education is pretty much taken care of thank goodness.” His channel’s about us page notes that, “Our channel is all about KID FUN! Toys, Challenges, Animals, Video Games, Science Experiments.” So if you’re looking for a Christmas gift to get for a younger sibling or cousin, ask Evan!

What an amazing an fun idea. I wish I would have thought of something like this. YouTube is really changing lives no matter what age you are.
I think this is a good example of how you can turn anything that you are passionate about into an entrepreneurial endeavor. Even something as simple as a love of toys was turned into a very profitable entrepreneurial endeavor. Great post!
This young entrepreneur is a genius. In today’s technology focused world people want opinions and they want them fast, so creating a YouTube page reviewing toys, but from a child’s perspective is so smart. If I was a parent I would love this page because gift buying is difficult and hearing from a child if they liked the child’s toy would be a big influence in my purchase. The thing I like most about this idea is that it is something I would never have thought of myself, but Evan has found his niche and uses it to help others in a way people didn’t know they needed. Great post.
It’s great that Evan has such a successful channel. Youtube is a great way for people to make a living. It’s creating a whole new job market. It’s good that he is also preparing for his future.
This is really cool to hear about. It’s really impressive how he’s been able to become so successful at a young age. It’s a cool idea to create a youtube channels like this aimed at kids.
