Big Data as a YouTuber

The days of careers needing to be dry and boring are nearly all gone. What started as a silly place to post videos, YouTube quickly grew into a mecca of online traffic generation. Further, countless people have made careers on YouTube by showing their ability to gain viewership and developing it into a business, finding ways to enhance their videos and providing a full experience. YouTube also provides a number of metrics, all uses of Big Data to their users in order to gain a deeper understanding of their channel.

Being a career YouTuber is by no means a 40 hour workweek career and is definitely something on the entrepreneurial side – to put it simply, you get out of it as much as you put into it.

Of course, beyond the physical hours being spent creating content, it can be draining on the creative end as well; trying to come up with new ideas and ways to improve a channel constantly can wear someone down. To some, having a platform that touches so many people, likely discussing content you are passionate about is an incredible job to have, but that doesn’t make it an easy one - you will always have the data YouTube offers you, but finding new ways to interpret it and use that to execute new things will always prove to be a rewarding challenge.
