MB 002: Magic, Money and YouTube: A Guide for Magicians with Jay Jay & Eric LeClerc

The guests on this episode are two working magicians with successful Youtube channels. Jay Jay from Free Magic Live Videos and Eric LeClerc from Project 365. Julian of course runs Julian's Magician School. Both Eric and Jay Jay share with you how they have used Youtube to benefit their magic careers. The discussion may surprise you. We talk candidly about amounts of income made from these channels. I'll give you a hint, no one of us are going to retire early, not right at the moment at least.

Success though, is measured in more ways than just money. You'll hear about the exposure a channel can give you and the work that can come from that.

You'll also discover what statistics like # of subscribers and # of views actually means. Like everywhere else online, these change and staying in front of the curve means you can produce content to suit the viewing habits of your watchers.

Probably one of the biggest take aways from this is that you need to approach creating a channel with a business strategy. It was interesting how Eric took his allocated marketing budget for the year and used that to fund the running of Project 365. He had a plan before he started.

If you want to get started with youtube and you have little or no experience with even the most basic of video then there is only one place for you to start
