YouTube has come into its own during the virus with new video producers coming out daily by the hundreds. Males tend to focus on technical aspects of hardware and software (like new cameras or improvements to the latest release of Word). Female producers often focus on the home, exercise, fashion and shopping. When working together mixed gender couples tend to focus on travel, pets or entertainment reviews.
All channels are competing to up their views, though it isn’t views alone that determine what, if any, advertising revenue they’ll earn. Viewers are put through filters to determine their gender, income, age, computer being used to access YouTube and current software levels. Suffice to say, it’s the younger, more technologically literate viewers that earn more advertising revenue with rates varying between two to eight dollars per thousand views.
The channel on San Miguel de Allende Secrets isn’t vying for ad revenue, but rather to making your time in San Miguel unique, and uniquely yours, with a bit of perspective on what is going on around you. Enjoy being in the know and knowing how to have more fun in San Miguel!
