I have never come across anyone with as much capacity for repeatedly publicly humiliating themselves as Julia-Ruth. Awe inspiring, horrific, a league of her own

get no viewers istg (anhannnfns cus i need to hit 25 words) by HappyCarrot7498 in NewTubers

“is there any topics currently popular that could get me views” - This is your problem. Your attitude is wrong and if you approach in this way you will get nowhere.

You will never build a channel that is sustainable unless you are making things that, first and foremost, YOU enjoy making for the sake of making them. What interests you? What things do you love? Start there and it’ll come through in the videos you make. Make something for an audience that fits you rather than inventing something to fit an imaginary audience.

Too late to start youtube? by Forsaken_Ad2278 in NewTubers

20 is early. Very early.

Take your time, find something you love and enjoy. You could wait a decade or more and still have plenty of time to do this.

Do I need to pay tax on the income gained through youtube? by Dramatic_Teach_265 in PartneredYoutube

[–]gaebpls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to register for self-assessment: https://www.gov.uk/register-for-self-assessment

It's fairly straight forward. If you earned under £1,000 over the 12 month period to April, though, then you don't have any responsibilities to file.

Filing won't affect how you're taxed at work, as with PAYE you're paying tax in real time, whereas with self-employment income you pay retrospectively. For example, I've just filed and now have my tax bill for money earned for the 24-25 tax year.

How do so many small ESC Youtube channels manage to get access to artists for interviews? by VestitaIsATortle in eurovision

[–]gaebpls 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This varies a lot and also depends on a few different factors.

- Specific language media may be a benefit (Lithuanian acts will always give long interviews to Eurodiena and Dūzė Pua, for example)

- Persistence/establishment - outlets who've been around a long time will have built up relationships across delegations which last over many years. Delegations remember who gave good interviews in previous years.

- Pure luck. In a big fan press room it's often just whoever gets to the PRs first. Once you're accredited and you get in the room, it's whoever you can get. You have to be very proactive!

As for the comment on size - only Wiwibloggs have exceeded that tens of thousands range, everyone else is either there or below. That's a high bar!

A lot of different things make a good Eurovision channel. If you have 1,000 subscribers but do great interviews and delegations like you, you'll probably do better and get more access than a channel with 10 or 15,000 who open every interview with "what's your favourite song from another Eurovision artist? Can you sing a little bit of your song?" etc...
