Over the years, they\u2019ve demonstrated that they can (and will) songify virtually anything.

In 2012, he started out by posting voice impressions, but found more traction with \u201cLet\u2019s Play\u201d videos, where he plays video games and offers improvised commentary.

He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=426D8qmAW9U\" rel=\"nofollow\">credits his success<\/a> to his enduring enthusiasm for the content of his videos: \u201cI still like to think I\u2019m just that kid who\u2019s just enjoying having fun recording video games,\u201d he says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"10 Years on Youtube\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/426D8qmAW9U?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@LillySingh\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Lilly Singh<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lilly Singh\u2019s career is a master class in branching out. Singh got her start online in comedy, making low-budget, one-woman sketches about her South Asian-Canadian upbringing and heritage under the moniker Superwoman. Twelve years later, she has international tours, many brand partnerships, a production company, and a late-night host gig under her belt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What you can learn from Lilly Singh: <\/strong>In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UZSwDZ72Lp8\" rel=\"nofollow\">an interview with fellow creators Colin and Samir<\/a>, Singh shared that a long-term career requires both planning and passion. It\u2019s important to choose a focus that offers enough range and flexibility to last, she cautions: \u201cIf your passion is sensational vlogs, you have to think about how long you can do that,\u201d she said. But she recognized that going viral can sometimes overwhelm creators and distract from their long-term goals: \u201cIf you\u2019re having a hot moment on YouTube, it\u2019s really hard to have that foresight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Why Lilly Singh Left YouTube (and then came back)\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UZSwDZ72Lp8?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@iJustine\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>iJustine<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>iJustine created a character on YouTube and turned that character into a brand. Fifteen years ago, the tech lifestyle creator first went viral with a short video of her leafing through her <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/300-page_iPhone_bill\" rel=\"nofollow\">300-page iPhone bill<\/a>. Since then, she\u2019s focused on unboxing and reviewing Apple products, but her videos blur the line between tech and comedy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She toes the line between goofy improv and subtle satire, mocking her own online image as a pushy, superficial version of herself whose life revolves around a luxury brand. In between her enthusiastic opinions, she delivers deadpan quips to her audience: \u201cI would like to thank you, I would like to thank me, I would like to thank Jenna for going to get my Starbucks.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What you can learn from iJustine: <\/strong>iJustine hasn\u2019t been afraid to try new types of content and see what resonates with her fanbase. She was one of the early adopters of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lifestreaming#Lifecasting\" rel=\"nofollow\">lifecasting<\/a>, or 24\/7 livestreaming, and has since published videos reviewing all kinds of tech, interviewing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UU6MtPwT_5c\" rel=\"nofollow\">tech executives like Tim Cook<\/a>, and showing off antics with her friends and dog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But one thing remains the same in every video: She\u2019s created an enduring character that helps her blur the line between tech and comedy content. At the end of the day, it\u2019s her dry wit and off-beat perspective on the products that keeps viewers coming back for more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"IPHONE BILL | iJustine\" width=\"750\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UdULhkh6yeA?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@theslowmoguys\/videos\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>The SlowMo Guys<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The SlowMo Guys are up for filming anything in extreme slow-motion, from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j_OyHUqIIOU\" rel=\"nofollow\">giant water balloons<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hMjL76obRLI\" rel=\"nofollow\">melons<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-_5Ce7JgBPM\" rel=\"nofollow\">geysers<\/a>.

It\u2019s easy to see its widespread appeal: No matter your age, the rippling, otherworldly mess created by slowed-down explosions creates a child-like sense of wonder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What you can learn from The SlowMo Guys: <\/strong>Despite the wide variety of their subject matter, the SlowMo Guys have stuck around by not changing up their formula much at all. This captivating concept protects their channel from the changing tides of internet culture. If it can be filmed in slow motion, it\u2019ll make for great content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Giant 6ft Water Balloon - The Slow Mo Guys\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j_OyHUqIIOU?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/vlogbrothers\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Vlogbrothers<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hank and John Green, AKA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@vlogbrothers\/about\" rel=\"nofollow\">the vlogbrothers<\/a>, celebrated 15 years on YouTube in 2022.

This sincerity built an enthused fan community across platforms, and has since fueled a veritable YouTube empire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What you can learn from the vlogbrothers: <\/strong>The vlogbrothers turned YouTube into a career by engaging their growing fanbase with group challenges and projects, creating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-news\/intro-to-nerdfighters-101-a-john-green-primer-81556\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">a unique online subculture<\/a> among fans.

Even now, with several companies, books, and YouTube channels between them, the brothers still regularly post vlogs to one another, offering their signature perspectives on the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"My Secret Obsession\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r5agi9Fw_VQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These six creators span a variety of genres, but when it comes to making YouTube a career, they have a lot in common. All of them have created channels with long-term appeal that stretches past one or two viral videos. They\u2019ve developed a consistent tone that fans can expect across years\u2019 worth of videos. And each of them has created a channel that invites fans to return again and again for their specific take on a wide array of subjects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there\u2019s another key element they have in common: Business sense.
