This entrepreneurial endeavor, is by a young man named Evan. Evan is a YouTube sensation that makes over 1.3 million dollars per year. Evan isn’t your typical millennial entrepreneur, as he didn’t use his skills to make an invention, or start a small business that will bring in hundreds of thousands of visitors. Yet, Evan, with the help of his Dad, Mom, and sister, has already paid for his college education and the best part about it all? Evan is eight years old! Evan’s dad takes video of him, opening, playing with, and reviewing toys, while he explains them to the people who watch! Evan’s cute actions, involve him opening up the toy, just like it was Christmas Morning, as he shows all kinds of excitement to the viewers! Evan then takes the toys, and shows what you can do with them, while explaining some of the guidelines of the toys, like the user should be six to use this toy, and other things. After he plays with them a little bit, he then tests them on his sister. In one of the videos, Evan hits his sister with the angry bird foam toys, by using the slingshot. She is also very young, and the cuteness of the brother and sister play fight, is enough for any viewer to buy the product for their children. These YouTube videos have gotten over 50 million views, and each toy that Evan reviews gets more and more popular. Evan’s cuteness level is off the charts, and while the toy companies are happy he reviews their toys, his revenue comes from YouTube and the ads that they can sell to be in front of their videos on his Channel, EvanTubeHD.
Especially recently I have been very interested by “YouTubers” or Vlogging. It is always cool to hear a success story of a vlogger. I am excited to see where the future of video online will go.
I think the kid is adorable, and I’m pretty impressed that he makes millions of dollars to get toys and play with them. Seems like a pretty sweet job. Utilizing the internet to reach mass amounts of people and its so cool to see a very young kid using technology to become successful.
