(Gotta do this for Journalism class)
I didn't see it coming. It meant that I had finally gotten noticed after all these years. All of the videos and all of the hours had finally payed off, quite literally.
As I listened to "Lose Yourself" by Eminem and chatted on FaceBook, I got the urge to check my email.
I used to never check my email.
However, out of the blue, I did this time.
As the smell of my mom's freshly bake cookies spread through the room, I saw some emails from FaceBook, some from Poynter's NewsU (which I get for Journalism updates and such), and even a few from YouTube telling me so and so had subscribed to me.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
Then I saw the email. The real deal. The big Khahuna (or whatever its spelled like).
I clicked on the email and read the following: "Your YouTube account 'theJohnnyBoyVidoes' may be accepted into the Youtube Partnership Program at this time. Click here to apply."
I fell out of my chair.
I was going to be payed by Youtube!
How does it work?
Youtube pays me to post advertisements next to my videos.
Now you have to realize, people live off of this program. People make big money off of this program.
I did the math, and these famous YouTubers named "smosh" make approximately a million a month. A month!
If you ask anyone, I definitely wasn't singing along to Eminem's song about not giving up. Not at all.....
Ok maybe a little.
