Concerts for Youtube stars.

[Aspiring Mogul]

The New York Times has an article on how concert promoters are rushing to capitalize on the Youtube boom by promoting online stars. That's a good idea, but, first of all, if these Youtube personalities aren't making big money, will the concert promoters?

Time will tell.

I posted this link in an earlier thread, but, the fact, for now, is that Youtube may bring in big audiences but not big money. So I'm not sure what the tussle is over the FCC wanting a fast lane for data.

That said, the internet is a good medium for promoting your film, and, as Louise Levision has said, that medium is a good means to play the lottery and make big money.

I think the concerts would bring in more money than youtube.

The reason youtubers don't bring in big money is because of the way Adsense revenue functions.

Ticket sales are a completely different story

Pewdiepie makes like $6 million a year, is that not big money?

That would be big money, but is it confirmed? Forbes magazine referenced a Wall Street Journal article, but I can't access it, because I don't have a subscription. But, going by the Forbes magazine article, he's making $4 million in revenues, and, from what I've read, a million may not come to much profit - but I don't know that.

its not confirmed, 4 million is probably right. Why isn't a million much profit though? He just sits in his room and has to put in 0 effort compared to film makers.

I don't know, but, according to Business Insider, a Youtube star can gross six figures and still be poor.

Kay is probably getting by on less than 50% of what her videos make in gross revenue. In a $100,000 year, she might be looking at $15,000 annually, after YouTube's cut, taxes and editing costs, according to our back-of the-envelope math ($100,000 minus $45,000 for YouTube, minus 30% for the IRS, minus editing costs at $500 per week for 50 weeks).

That said, once she pays her fixed costs, then anything about a few hundred thousand would be pure gravy. But, again, I don't know.
