Influencer marketing

With increasing professionalization of YouTube channel owners and stronger monetization of video content, the bar for successful YouTube videos has been raised significantly during the past few years. Gone are grainy webcam videos, and most YouTubers and influencers have a professional camera and lighting setup in order to produce high-quality videos that look and sound good on any device. When factoring in the time it takes to produce and cut a YouTube video, it comes as little surprise that YouTube is a popular medium for influencers in the * million plus follower segment, but rarely for those who have significantly less followers (micro-influencers) or vastly more fans (major celebrities). Small influencers may focus their efforts on other platforms with less initial production costs and efforts, and big celebrities do not need to produce YouTube videos to further their fame.
