Oh boo freaking hoo the kids will be okay heading a bad work or two here and there. Get over yourself

Good to see the ZR-1 is already hitting the streets. That being said, not a fan of the Home Depot exterior color or those wheels.

YouTube fame? Never even heard of this guy. And he sure does like to laugh at his own "jokes."

Mike is pretty transparent and is one of the few youtubers who actually shows his earnings. There is no one-size-fits-all formula of dollars per view. Just depends on how many ads youtube places on your videos and how many viewers sit through the ads and don't skip. Mike's videos average 300k views, give or take, and he has shown he makes roughly $1500-2000 per video. $40-50k a month. Dude is puling in $500k+ a yr and can write his cars off as a business expense to boot.

He is a pretty smart, entrepreneural kid. Good for him. I'm excited to see what's in store for ZR1 content from him!

I see his vids all the time they are entertaining unlike other corvette YT'ers out there that talk so much crap... about stuff they have no idea about.

I love the fact that he took this car and dropped it on the dyno right out of the box, unlike others that will do a video about what ceramic coating to use.... ROFL I'm sure he is going to drive it like he stole it, which will make for great videos. LOL!

ZR1 on the dyno FTW!

Mike is pretty cool. Met him a few times at car events. Nice guy! I laugh at all the goons saying anyone can do what he does lol Then do it and make the money he does. Why wouldn't you? Hate on

That car is awesome. IMO the M7 is definitely the way to go. Way too much fun to drive!

Judgment Day

This pretty much sums it up in regards to his revenue. And there are people with even more subscribers that are not backed by a company sans sponsorship (DashieGames come to mind).

You have to do some digging, but there are a couple of videos where Mike shows his numbers. I think people are naturally curious, particularly when he buys cars like we buy potato chips. He's already had at least 10 vehicles since I've subscribed to him over a year ago, and another one on the way.

Poor-sha

The whole YouTube revenue thing is pretty interesting. You certainly have to find and know your market and keep producing content for it to be a solid income source. Good for him for being a clear success in the new media.

I got on in 2015 just to have a place to post track videos from my C7 Z06 as proof they don't burst in to flames on the track. 3 years later and I think I made $65 in total before they changed the rules so you can't monetize unless you have 1000 subscribers. I suspect that's going to drive even more ad revenue to the fewer folks left so Mike maybe getting a bump in income.

I never really did anything to try and drive subscribers though and I hate hyping things rather than trying to share knowledge. Oh well, only 889 more subscribers to go

Watch out for those dads...

Why does there always have to be a hater? Referring to clickbait videos is just stupid. People kill me with that reference. Let's say you watch his channel, right. You see 5 clickbait type videos. If you don't like that, but yet continue watching subsequent videos then your point is moot. He has almost 700k subscribers so obviously he's doing something right for himself. Why would you ever knock someone who has found a harmless and legal way to be successful in life? And he has a ZR1 that he'll actually drive and allow people to see things about it that otherwise would never happen from the typical owner. Moral of the story is don't be a hater man.

Some of the people in this thread are certainly why the Corvette community can lose that snobby, old guy stigma.
