Income
Different types of online celebrities make money in varying ways, but most make money from endorsements. Online celebrities use their fame to promote products or experiences to their fanbase. These products are marketed by using the celebrity to give credibility to a certain product. For example, Youtube celebrities can make money directly through their Youtube channel by using ads or by sponsoring products. Youtube has a program, called Adsense that allows Youtubers to gain revenue from ads and views. In order to be monetized and use Adsense, Youtubers must fulfill some requisites: have more than 1,000 subscribers, live in an eligible country, and have more than 4,000 with hours per year. Youtube can be a lucrative platform for Youtube celebrities like PewDiePie who made US$15.5 million in 2018. Youtubers can also expand their source of revenue by creating their own products or merchandise to sell. Similarly, fashion bloggers and Instagram celebrities can earn money by promoting brands in their platform and many developing their own brands. Bloggers will feature sponsored posts in social media to make profits. For instance, fashion blogger turned businesswoman, Chiara Ferragni started off as an online blogger and then gained millions of followers on Instagram. She later created her own brand, the Chiara Ferragni Collection. She like many other Instagram influencers started off by charging per post for promoting brands. She now gets paid a large but undisclosed amount of money per Instagram post and from the revenue of her brand.
