YouTube Videos

In my interactive journalism class we read and article called "YouTube Videos Pull In Real Money" This article is about how successful some people are on YouTube. Due to advertisements on their videos some people make a living off of videos. Michael Buckley has videos on YouTube that have become so successful that he even quit his job to focus on the show. Although his shows are only five minutes long he says they take a lot of work. His show is called "What the Buck" and he rants about celebrities the whole time. His jokes about celebrity comebacks and rumors have proven to earn him a living.
There are tons of YouTube hits on the web. I think the key to a YouTube hit is to be funny. I also think some of the best videos are the candid ones. People happened to have a camera at a funny moment.
