Secrets of a Former Credit Card Thief [Yahoo] (Thanks to Newdreams!)
Everyone wants to know the secrets of the YouTube stars—how did they make successful careers out of YouTube, how do they make money and what advice do they have for hopefuls looking to follow in their footsteps? Tubefilter’s ‘Secrets if YouTube Superstars’ panel at CES shed some light on these questions. Tubefilter’s editor and co-founder, Marc Hustvedt, moderated the panel, which was made up of YouTube megastars iJustine, Joe Penna (aka MysteryGuitarMan), Phil DeFranco, Freddie Wong and Brandon Laatsch.
You can watch the full thirty-seven minute panel in the video below, but I’d like to take a little time to recap some of the most interesting points that were brought up. I think that Hustvedt asked great questions, leading the panelists to shed some very interesting light on the world of YouTube as a business.
Putting In The Work
I think that the most important thing that can be gleaned from the ‘Secrets Of The YouTube Stars’ CES panel is that you can’t go anywhere on YouTube without putting in lots and lots and lots of work. There was a general consensus that these guys work an average of about 80 hours a week. That’s an average of about 11.5 hours a day with no weekend! And these guys have already made their YouTube channels a success, so just imagine how much work goes in to making a name for yourself when you’re starting out at the bottom.
iJustine says, “This is our life. Every second of the day you’re working, essentially. If you’re not posting videos you’re still tweeting, your updating Facebook or you’re updating all these social networks to tie back to your videos and keep people updated on what you’re doing.” YouTube stars never sleep—it’s a 24/7 job. Brandon Laatsch says, “We’ve pulled more all nighters in the last year than we did all throughout college.” But what’s important to note is that these guys love their job. If you have the passion and the drive, and you’re willing to put in the hours it can be incredibly rewarding.

The question on everyone’s mind is, how do YouTube stars make money? The panelists are all paying the bills with money they make from YouTube videos, but how do they do it?
Joe Penna explains the two major ways that YouTube stars make money, in addition to the revenue that they earn through YouTube advertising. One of these ways is through working with brands. The other is through merchandising.
Penna, iJustine and DeFranco all have quite a lot of experience working with brands. They seem to agree that working with brands is fantastic, as brands trust them to take creative control and allow them the budget to make bigger, better videos than they could otherwise. Laatsch also pointed out that over the last year or so viewers have become a lot more accepting of brand deals. At first there was a lot of name calling (i.e. “You’re a sell out!”), but now that viewers understand that this is what these guys are doing for a living they get that branding is a good thing as it enables them to make better videos. All the YouTubers stressed that they incorporated branding into their videos in an unobtrusive way as to not freak their viewers out.
YouTube also helps with revenue through grant programs. They helped DeFranco branch his single channel out into the six-channel DeFranco Inc. and they also sponsored Freddie and Brandon in a project in which they drove around in an RV for a month, making videos with their fans.
Personality
The most important thing that I think can be gleaned from this panel for wannabe YouTube stars is the importance of personality. If you take a look at the top YouTube channels nearly all of them are supported by a personality. MysteryGuitarMan makes music videos, but he’s sure to speak directly to his viewers in each and every one of his videos as well. If you have a strong personality your viewers feel like they know you personally and this is one of the biggest keys to YouTube success.
DeFranco says that YouTube stars are different from television or movie stars because you may want to catch a glimpse of a television star but you’d like to sit and chat over a beer with a YouTube star. You feel like you are friends with them, they influence you and they can’t wait for you to put out another video.
I’d also like to point out that this is fantastic for branding. Brands can tap into an audience of millions when they turn to YouTube stars for promotional purposes and these millions trust these stars and are completely engaged and influenced by them. This is much more direct and effective advertising that television advertising, and cheaper. It’s a lot more bang for your buck!

Hi! This is Phillip Chambley! Former 5 year market research interviewer/analyst. Also, author of "Secrets of paid on-line surveys." I am writing to you and telling you more of the "Secrets" of how to make more money with paid on-line surveys! Here are some more helpful tips!
The four main ingredients of surveys? Age, Gender, Occupation, & Race.
1. Age. This is the most important factor of any survey! In other words, "How much does a teenager spend at the grocery store as opposed to his 44 year old mother! I think this answer is obvious! Naturally market research is aimed towards the consumer of these products. However, many surveys are sent to children under 18 with adult supervision, usually regarding video games, clothing, cosmetics, etc. You must be 18 years or older to join any market research company. Also, please remember that when they have sent you a particular survey, you have been chosen because of your age first. Please put in the exact age you signed up for on this particular email address! If you have 8 different email accounts, this can be confusing sometimes, write down the age, and occupation of each email account.
2. Gender. This is second most important factor for being selected. A female will most likely purchase cosmetics, whereas a male may be more interested in sports, which is usually surveys about sports announcers, sports TV commercials, beer, etc.. Females are normally the persons that purchase the most groceries, or purchase children's clothes. etc. Believe it or not, females receive more surveys than males!
3. Occupation. The third most important factor of being selected for surveys. If you work in Information Technology and have the power to purchase these products, you will be selected for some really high paying surveys, anywhere from $10.00 to $75.00. The higher paying surveys normally last about 30 minutes. They will afterwords analyze your answers and decide whether or not you qualify for other surveys in this field. You will still get paid. Like I said before, if you are in the food industry, you will most likely not receive any surveys about food. If you are a business director whom has the authority to purchase computers and office products, you will be selected to participate in these product surveys. A person whom works in lawn care will not be chosen to participate in lawn care products, which this past year I have completed a lot of surveys on these products.
4. Race. No, survey companies are not prejudice! They just want to know what products human beings all across the world are purchasing! This lets the advertising market know who, what, when, where, and how to advertise a product! Some races purchase more of a certain product than others. Through market research surveys, this will let them know ahead of time what results they can expect. Which is the whole purpose of market research to begin with.
5. What are profiles and demographics! Sounds complicated! It's not! It's actually very simple. When you join any survey company they will ask you what your personal interest are, such as: Hobbies, computers, automobiles, information technology, internet experience, credit card use, (they will never ask for numbers), do you read books, do you read magazines, do you play video games, do you eat cereal, etc. Always be sure to complete all of your profiles when you join to ensure you receive more surveys." Its kind of like a computer dating service", when you enter all this information into the computers database, and a market research company has a survey available that matches your profile, you will be contacted. All personal information is kept strictly confidential and never sold to any third parties. If you are not sure, read their privacy policies. Remember these are actual "legitimate" market research companies.
6. What is Quota? This is the number of respondents chosen or selected to participate in surveys. Each survey will be sent to different ages, gender, occupation & races. From what I've seen on the internet, it's usually between 1000-1500 people per survey. Thats the reason why high paying surveys fill up quickly. Considering the fact that survey companies like gozing.com have over 4.8 million members! Always look for the high paying surveys first!
7. The signing up process? Once you log in to the survey company, you will see two different areas, join and members, click on "join". This will take to the demographics page where you will enter all of your contact information, age, gender, occupation, race, mailing address, phone number (optional), household income, computer experience, etc. Note: Over the years I have noticed that household incomes that make approx. $100,000.00 per year do not receive very many surveys as opposed to a household income of $50,000.00. Most likely because people that make more money just don't have the time, or the surveys pay too small amount of money for them to become interested. Also, please be sure that this will be your your continuous occupation during your surveys. If you change your profiles at any time, it normally takes the computer about two weeks to catch up, and this also looks like fraud, the computer will sometimes spot this. In other words, be absolutely 100% sure about your age, & occupation before you sign up.
8. How do I get paid through points? Some survey companies will pay you through accumulating points. On the average, 1000 points is the same as $10.00. Once you accumulate this many points, click on rewards, and follow through the instructions to get paid by check or sometimes paypal. Some companies will reward you with gifts, which are not too bad. These particular companies have lots of surveys which are very interesting!
9. Making money off referrals? This is the easy part of survey companies! You can actually get paid when you refer your friends and they complete surveys, or even just join a survey company and complete their demographic process, which takes about 15 minutes!
Thanks!
