    We’re Colin and Samir, creators based out of Los Angeles California. We make videos about the creator economy, and the lessons we’ve learned over 10 years of being on CZcams. We also interview creators and try to get to the bottom of what’s working on CZcams and where the creator economy is headed.

    Jesse and I are the same age I was one of those 1000 people watching the 2k14 videos and grew with him and even if his content changed more for kids and I don’t watch all his videos anymore I still watch the ones that interest me and I’m so proud of how far he has come

    Hey Colin & Samir!
    There is this CZcamsr Luke from the CZcams channel, Outdoor Boys.
    His Chanel is really interesting
    - no crazy editing
    - at least 30 minutes per video
    - comments are off
    - has no brand deals
    - no collabs
    - doesn’t use his social media to pump out his video
    - get 3-5 million views in a couple of days
    - only uploads every 2 weeks
    I would love a breakdown of his YT Channel. If guys could make this happen 🙏

      brother what about YOUR journey? The old MCPE community was HYPE. I remember when 0.9.0 was out and everyone was wondering if it was gonna jump to 1.0.0 or 1.10 and I actually distinctly remember watching your tutorial on how to get colored text.

    Hope this video blows up more asap, have no idea how it isn’t - super insightful to hear the journey from dropping doing too much at once to focus, living with other creators, analytics- his story somehow sounded like so many good points heard from other interviews wrapped in one!🔥

    what Jesser is describing when talking about the future of watching sports is akin to costreaming in the live streaming space. So interesting to hear that costreaming is going on in the NBA now too

    @brianmcfadden1573 Před měsícem

    This was good!!! Love when you break down a creators business. I might try to make the NBA tour traveling business. I think there is something there if you incorporate various elements like time on the floor a player appearance and maybe a experience selected by a player on the team to enjoy while in the town as a group like a fav restaurant or something. Great conversation.

  • @drawings_memes
    @drawings_memes Před měsícem +2

    I've always felt inspired by jessers content and his reasoning for making. always wanted to be a CZcamsr as well but live in a poor community and can't get the right technology for editing and recording for good content. It is what it is but Jesser has always inspired me and I've always looked up to him.

    It’s so funny watching new CZcamsrs get their mind blown about old youtube monetization. 17:25 in, Samir asks “you thought 100k views was enough to go full time?” Yes, back then it absolutely was.
    What people don’t understand is 100k views per video, but uploading 7 days per week. Maybe twice in a day too. This guy was probably getting 1.5-3m views per week in 2014.
    CZcamsrs back then we’re making so much more money than most creators of similar sizes today. The CPM’s were a bit messed up because of machinima and other sketchy stuff, but the sheer quantity of views was wild cause you had the whole audience in a sector.

    I feel within the next 5ish years, athletes and sports will be the leaders of the content world once the education point is solidified. A decent amount of successful creators have a background in playing sports. One player that was ahead of his time with content creation was Brandon Jennings, he had a series called under the armor that would do really well in today’s era of creatives.

  • @SaskiaWorld
    @SaskiaWorld Před měsícem

    A big part in my opinion with sports communities and trying to get younger people in, is the culture. Whether it's pro, amateur, or little league, sports harbor a very toxic community (generalized statement, I know), especially for people like us who enjoy them but are also not super masculine, or political, or homo-erotic, or sexist; we're just probably what most people would call a "normal dude". And it's the core fans of these sports as well. They get broadcasted in bars, or bar-restaurants (like Applebee's, BWW) where a more average person wouldn't feel comfortable with or without the sport.
    Generally, sports fans are LOUD. Tend to be aggressive, and tend to be an opinionated men. While yes, competitiveness is part of the game, they're not places for Gen-Z, who I would say trend towards more chill, bright/colorful places.
    The only reason I like football is because my family was so into it growing up and I see it as part of my roots, but I do not watch any other sport for pastime, it's just not the vibe these days.
