5 Key Question

5 Key Questions:
What is a Youtuber?
"We can find the definition of Youtubers in Wikipedia.
It is saying that Youtubers is "A user of sharing websites Youtube." You can feel something strange because they are ordinary people, but you can notice that they are  "celebrity" when you see their subscribers. Their subscribers are much more than normal pop stars' official Youtube channel. For example, Charlie McDonnel who is running "Charlieissocoollike" has over 1.9  million, and almost 2 million.
(YG, which is one of the most famous entertainment companies, has 740000 subscribers and SM entertainment has 1360000 subscribers.)
It is surprising."

What does it take to become a successful Youtuber?
"Truth be told, there is no set formula for a successful YouTube channel. But there are a few key ingredients that will make your chances of YouTube fame all the more likely.
YouTube megastars like Ryan Higa, Ray William Johnson, and Bethany Mota have amassed billions of views simply through vlogging. This has almost certainly raked in seven figures or more in revenue, while leading to untold opportunities outside of YouTube.
And then there are the channels that house much more substance, while still remaining impressively popular. Take Creative Live, the Ask Gary Vee Show, and Big Think.
These channels may all be entirely different, but share the common factor of regularly being watched by huge numbers of people. This is because they’ve stuck to at least some of the key ingredients below."

What is a Youtubers lifestyle like?
"So me and my friends started our YouTube channel around 3 months ago. Our channel 2point5 exclusively focuses on Indian Reactions on famous videos, movie trailers/teasers.
Around 2 days ago, while travelling in metro, I suddenly heard our theme music playing (the one we use in each of our video). First I thought somebody would be listening to the music, and not watching our video (because what were the odds) but then I almost freezed when I heard my voice. I can't even describe the feeling. It was so surreal. I started freaking out, tried desperately to see who was the one watching the video. But as we all know, Delhi Metro specifically at 9 in the morning is worst than a Sunday Trade Fair. I texted the other founders instantly and they couldn't believe me.
Since we do reaction videos, we get a lot of criticism on our reactor's views. But even one comment of appreciation from a stranger keeps us motivated.
Although that metro incident was a small one for some, but for me, that feeling is still so surreal."
How much time is put into one Youtube video?
"It takes me about 6 hour all together. that includes filming and editing, and getting prepared for a youtube video. But it takes me an hour or two to get everything together (lights, camera, topics) 30 mins or less to film and the rest goes into editing."

"Depends on the kind of video for me too, on my short Thoughts with Matt videos I have those down to a science and can get one shelled out in 15 to 20 minutes easy and that's everything start to upload. But on my music stuff I spend quite a bit of time working out the audio tracks and then working on the video itself."

How are Youtubers funded? 
"For starters, distribution has changed in some very unique ways. While many creators are still selling items directly from their stores, they're looking for other ways to get their more expensive and time-intensive products in front of as many eyes as possible. For example, creators are partnering with larger companies who specialize in distribution to put their content out there - this is what comedy trio Hannah Hart, Grace Helbig, and Mamrie Hart did for their film Camp Takota. And in a bolder move, YouTuber Kurt Hugo Schneider debuted his film College Musical during a livestream and then put it on iTunes for purchase. Hundreds of Schneider's fans caught the livestream viewing (they got the hashtag #CollegeMusical to trend on Twitter), and are now able to help spread the word about the movie through word-of-mouth."
