What the Buck? Michael Buckley earned over $100k in a year from his YouTube video-rants about celebs, plus a development deal from HBO, as reported three years ago in the New York Times .
IMHO, YouTube star Lisa Donovan or "LisaNova" has real talent for sketch comedy. Like Tina Fey, she likes to play Sarah Palin, including in this famous McCain/Palin rap.
Cory Williams and his smpFilms hit the bigtime with "Hey Little Sparta" (aka "The Mean Kitty Song" -- more than 55 million views, roughly 20 million of them in the last 6 months). He told the NYT in 2008 that he was earning over $200k per year, partly from (ugh!) product placements within his videos.
My 14-year-old daughter's favorite YouTube star, "PhillyD" of The Philip DeFranco Show, offers his take on current events, tech and celeb news. Should I be monitoring my daughter's online activities better?
Become a YouTube Star and appear in a hugely popular music video with Weezer or the earlier one from Barenaked Ladies.
"Where the hell is Matt?" became so popular, the guy has had his travels paid by corporate sponsors for years.
