NigaHiga FTW!!!

April 28, 2013

Comedy can make you rich $.$?

 

So this posts topic will be on how people can make money off youtube and as an example I'll be using NigaHiga, a comedic Japanese American youtube ninja from Hilo, Hawaii that holds the a channel of of over 8 million subscribers. He appeals to viewers worldwide through his humor that's an appeal to humor that lightens moods and in an arguement, can undermine the opposition's statement.

 
Yeah... not his best picture. Let me try that again.
Alright that's better.
NigaHiga or otherwise known as Ryan Higa makes around $151,000 a YEAR, which is about $413 a day soley based on his youtube channel: Nigahiga . How does he do this? It's purely based on, You guessed it
 

COMEDY!!!!!!!! :) 

Oh wait, that wasn't what you were thinking? Well this is awkward....
Anyway whether you knew it was comedy or not. It's how it's done. His charismatic personality and humorous attitude makes for a perfect combo that's attracted millions of viewers worldwide. Along with this attraction comes the ads that appear in the beginning of all his videos that makes him hundreds a day from several advertisers paying to get their ads seen. Even Higa does a little bit of his own marketing knowingly to unknowingly by appearing other youtubers' channels and videos to attract more to his channel.
Some of the marketing work he did purposely are like the short film he created and aired in November of 2010 in Los Angeles called Agents of Secret Stuff . This short film definitely attracted many viewers and the advertising that was clipped on to it raked in much money. At $1.28 to $5 per thousand views with a gross total of over 21 million views as of April 2013 the film made him about $26,880 to $105,000 since its release in 2010 purely based on views due to the unknown amount he is paid per thousand views.
In conclusion whether or not this is all for money or to make people laugh Ryan Higa is forever known as
Thanks for reading. That's all for this post.
