Brandon Fletcher YouTube Videos -- Watch How This 20-Year-Old Brotha Got a Revenue-Sharing Deal

by Paula Neal Mooney

Good lookin' out (or whatever 23-year-olds say) to Cheynne, the Nerd With Swag, for hipping me to Brandon Fletcher and his YouTube videos.

Brandon Fletcher is a 20-year-old kid -- forgive the "kid" moniker, but seriously, at 38, I coulda had a son your age -- who chronicled his journey to the California office of YouTube in a clever series of videos posted on the just-as-cleverly titled site Can YouTube Hear Me?

With amazing chutzpah and spirit, Brandon went to Cali armed with episodes of his internet dating reality series called "Date: Unknown," a very well-edited and scored show.

Though the YouTube security guard wouldn't let him off the elevator, Brandon did get to meet with a couple of YouTube employees.

And now Brandon Fletcher is one of the few to have inked a revenue-sharing deal with YouTube.

I don't know how much he makes, but watching Brandon's YouTube video journey and his never-say-quit spirit, I can tell he's worth every CPM -- and then some.

I'm inspired.

I'm subscribed to all of Brandon Fletcher's YouTube videos.

This 20-year-old "kid" has shown a 38-year-old "ma'am" how vlogging (it's beyond that really, watching his stuff is literally like watch a revolution) should be done.

..Don't remember how I found this blog, but I'm glad I did. It's great to hear about a young man doing his thing! Especially when it's being rewarded.
Okay, I gotta get my mid-40s derriere in gear to finish my Web-ispodes.

By the way, I did an interview and wrote a post yesterday featuring two actors who have a booming business making organizers for performers. Check it out.

Thanks for the linkage Paula!
Paula, wanted you and the readers know I made my first penny from thenewsroom.com. Yep, literally one cent for a video I posted on a major law suit with a dry cleaner and a pair of pants!

I've posted two different videos - one on the iphone and another for homeowners and insurance.

That's great to hear, Don!

I guess The News Room finally has their accounting info up so we can see how much we've made?

I'm going over there to check my account.

Thanks for the news about The News Room!

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net.

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab

UPDATE: PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK TO DIGG THIS STORY AND TELL DIGG TO PLAY FAIR... by Paula Neal Mooney Many of us know the power of Digg.com, dreamed up by Kevin Rose, who touted it as a "user driven" site that says it allows the general public to determine the stories they want to see make it to the front page by voting for interesting articles they find across the web. The more votes the public gives an article, the better chance it should have to make it to the front page. Theoretically... The power of Digg's front page Digg.com -- according to Alexa -- is now more popular than The New York Times. Getting one of your articles or blog posts to the front page of Digg.com will get your website seen by plenty of eyes. John Chow experienced a one-day traffic record of 55,856 page views when one of his posts hit the front page of Digg.
