 Nakalout ka na ba ng YouTube video at napisip ka na panong nga ba talaga nagsimula yung mga tech YouTubers na to? Can they make a living based on what they earn? May kita ba sila? Paano sila ng kakarun ng mga products na rin ay review nila? Do they get to keep those items? If you've ever wondered those things, lakat tayo, usap tayo. Hi, my name is CJ and my question is can you really earn or like make a living solely from the YouTube channel? Mahirap pabuhay kung nakasalalay ka lang sa YouTube ad earnings. Sa YouTube, the one primary way of making money is through the ad revenue so dumagawa ka ng video, YouTube put sa adson dot video and may cut ka dun, either per click, so it's cost per click or cost per impression. So after 1000 impressions, you get something, a very small amount. Inyong problema dito sa atin, maliit lang yung cost per click, maliit lang yung cost per impression. For a channel of our size, mahirap mabuhay. Iposibli, actually mabuhay kung nakasalalay ka lang sa Google AdSense Revenue. Pero, there are so many other ways to monetize. Mahari kang magkaroon ng sponsorship, so that's why actually super important yung sponsor namin. Hindi niligan ng DC. Pusainin ka lang na windows. Pero saan ko hupuwan ng legit windows?

So you guys get a lot of items to review and test out sent by some of the biggest companies in the world. So my question is, do you get to keep the items sent to you? Thank you so much in advance for answering my question and looking forward to more awesome content from you guys. Sa di ka. Kung galing abroad 100% of the time, usually, yes, we do get to keep it. A lot of different brands have contacted us from abroad kasi wala silang local representative dito. Pinapadala yung sa aming dito and yes, we do get to keep those items. Parang understood na. Kasi hasel din para sa brand na. Pano rin namin mababalik yun kung pinadala dito sa Pinas and then how do we send it back to them? It's different if it's a brand with a local present dito let's say may representative sila dito sa Pinas or may distributor talaga sila dito. In that case, sometimes you get to keep it, sometimes, dito. So, for example, Deep Cool does have a local representative here. Yung karamihan ng items na pinapadala ni Deep Cool sa aming we do get to keep. Actually, wala ko maisip na basically all of the items sa Deep Cool has sent us we've been allowed to keep. Yung ASUS iba, paminsan we get to keep pero paminsan sobrang mahal yun. We have to return that. So, kung may local present yung brand dito depended talaga, paminsan we get to keep paminsan we have to give it back. How do you get in touch with brands? A lot of the brands are proactive actually tapas it's not even yung mga malaking brands na sobrang sikat. There are also a lot of smaller brands na very proactive. Basically sila yung nang kontak sa aming we very rarely contact a brand directly. Kasi, to be honest, di rin kami papansinin like yung mga sobrang big time. Kung nag-email kami sa kanila, di kami papansinin but a lot of the brands do contact us directly and I'd say 95% either of the sponsorships or of the reviewed items na pinapadala sa aming yung brand yung nag-reach out. Grabe talaga yung social media ngayon. Paglumampas ka na sa certain subscriber count or something. For us it started around 20,000 subs, 30,000 subs. May mga brands talaga na nalapit na and usually the process is a cold email. Mag-email sila na hey, I saw your YouTube channel I really enjoy your content et cetera yung how you review and how you make it blah blah blah presentation-wise. So it's very rare na kami yung damalapit although we have tried that yung mga camera reviews namin like Canon and Fuji yun kami damapit sa brand but most of the time it's the brand they have agencies yung trabaho lang nila is to look at social media either the agency reaches out or the brand reaches out. Is being a YouTube celebrity all it's cracked up to be? 30k pa lang or 20k may mga instances na na na-fefeel mo na oh ano, may nanunod pa lang nung videos lahat kasi abstract e like you make a video you see like oh 1000 people watched 5000 people watched you have 50,000 subscribers I mean that's all abstract very early on dun sa YouTube channel may nag-comment dun sa isang video namin na ok kaw pala yung guy na naglalakad nung white na dog and he's a real pain in the butt to walk it does get a little weird when your neighbors start calling you hardware sugar which has happened to me like I'm on the street parking my car tapos the guy two doors down says oh ay hardware sugar and you know it's weird hardware sugar is not my name but nakakatawa na medyo weird you do get recognized dahil sa channel one time nang palit ako nung batteries sa tumago sa motolight tumating yung guy he changed my battery and you know I was just being my usual self kasi mga tanong talaga ako I'm very curious about all kinds of tech so I was asking him about car batteries I don't have a lot of experience with cars and their hardware and he was very polite very knowledgeable and then at the end nung napalitan na nga yung battery sabi niya na asor oh I'm a fan of the channel I watch you guys et cetera completely random stranger the motolight guy turns out to be a subscriber to the channel I find it fun to meet people who have seen our videos may impact ba lang yung videos may nanunod pa lang ito other than my parents strange lang pa minsan like we're in public and my wife will say na oh that guy is looking at you weird and you look and oh yeah that's probably hardware sugar customer kasi nakakablak hoodie and everything so very conscious na yung matawong ngayong tungkol sa mental health and you do hear of a lot of creators na sobrang nababurn out kasi sabi hanes grave din talaga yung it looks simple you just record yourself do a little editing kasi tapos may video ka na but there's a lot of work behind the scenes like itong video na ito pangalawang basis ko na ito is shoot kasi nagkamali or may problema sa audio dun sa isang version what's up internet so usually kumainan usually kumainakarenig na oh tech youtuber maraming tanong yun and so everything was completely unusable this is the second time I'm doing this yung bibili ka series namin which will drop soon it's been three four months in the making tapos kising kita, kita, tulog ka grave grave din yun para lang sa intro kasi basak din yung audio or the video quality was not good there's a lot of work really that goes on behind the scenes and I'm thankful na hindi lang ako so we do have a team in place who also does their own videos who helps me with editing who helps me with thumbnails we do have a schedule to keep we have an X number of videos na kailangan ma-release in one month when brands contact us for reviews kailangan ma-labas din yun in a timely manner so mahirap there's a lot of work behind the scenes just keeping everything in motion just keeping all of the balls in the air so yeah, burnout is real the grind is real it's a lot of hard work but I'm thankful and fortunate to have a good team behind me hey I'm Rafael from Harbor Sugar I'm Rafayin Ismael I'm JJ Reyes I'm Warren Maverneve di ko alam pano na mamuhay yung ibang creators na mag-isa lang talaga sila yes, the grind is real but the upshot is I'm having a good time and there are a lot of things about the process na hassle but there are a lot of things also that are rewarding kasi parang who doesn't like it na may may early access ka to items you get to try out items that I could never afford on my own so masaya din main one surprising aspect with your production you stress over magsasletabaong ganito or like this if you didn't notice the change it's in the language that I'm using kung magtatagalog ba ako or mag-english and that's something that not a lot of people probably consider we used to have a YouTube consultant tapos sa stats nila Philippine channels in general yung karamihan na nanunood from the Philippines so let's say 95% of all their traffic is from the Philippines medyo kakaiba yung hardware sugar na we have around 30% na foreign so around 70% views from the Philippines 30% from elsewhere it's very uncommon for a Pinoy channel to have that large of foreign viewership mas malaki yung kita kung yung cost per click or your CPM kagay na pinagusapan natin dati mas mataas sa ibang bansa so if we have viewers from let's say the states or Japan yun malaki yung CPC or yung CPM dun we believe na may mabibigay naman tayo I mean we're a tech YouTube channel based in the Philippines pero there is some news or there are some tips or there are some approaches na tingin namin hindi pa naman na co-cover nung ibang mga channels na abroad so why can't we contribute something new especially kasi malapit tayo dun sa sites of manufacturing yung sa China sa Taiwan sobrang lapit natin so actually logistically we should be able to get those items before anyone else so every video inisit namin may appeal ba to not just for a local audience and for a but also for a foreign audience and then yun we try to we try to match the language kasi kung foreign damihan namin yung English used in the video kung there are some videos na purely local lang siguro yung appeal like say for example tutorial how to build your computer and dami na ganun na tutorial sa online pero na ka English better kung nakalokalize yun for the Filipino audience so we'll use all Tagalog for that the jokes or whatever stuff we put there would be more targeted to a local audience yun nga hindi siya concern for a lot of creators but because of our audience it has become a concern kasi nagagalitin yung mga Pinoy kabag maraming English sa video kasi you know there are maraming comments na ay Filipino ka naman ba di ka nagtatagalog nosebleed alam naman just a short Q&A on maybe some questions na inisip mo tungkol sa being a tech YouTuber or trying to run the shop parang incidental lang tong YouTube but if you have any other questions feel free to leave them in the comments and maybe we'll do another video just basically walking around answering questions so thanks for watching and thank you to our top fans na afford na namin to gupua na to and edo club thank you to Leah Magnaya Ian Meru ITX Addict Jan Ruben Ocha
