Hello Folks...
I attended the Google / Youtube South African Stars event...
It was held at Montecasino and I attended via Google Hangout (video conference..) with 4 other Stars and the media...
I was intrigued to hear what the others are earning from video blogging...Caspar (18 years old) would not disclose but it must be big money....
The main "Star", a South African video blogger that runs the "Six Pack Factory" fitness channel earns up to R80 000 per month from Youtube Adsense...and up to three times that through his website selling DVDs etc. related to his Youtube Channel...
So I have a "little" catching up to do....
Here is a video clip by Google featuring the "Stars":

Cheers!
