ANECDOTE

Accidental Start with Comedian Audios

Mike and Joelle started creating couple comedy content by accident during COVID lockdown using comedian audios over home videos.
Their fitness videos got unexpectedly high views on Instagram, encouraging them to continue making humorous content.

ADVICE

Consistency and Format Strategy

Consistency in posting is crucial; Mike posts a daily short-form video he finds funny to maintain growth.
Posting longer horizontal videos monetizes better than shorts, and compiling these boosts revenue with mid-roll ads.

INSIGHT

Unique Demographic Advantage

Their YouTube audience is 92% male and mostly over 50 years old, fitting Mike's 'old boy's humor'.
This demographic likely leads to more monetization potential since advertisers pay more for older viewers.
