YouTube Superstars PDF Print E-mail
General

Did you know that some of the top music acts, and some of the top comedy acts, started by placing their privately produced videos on YouTube? February 14, 2005, former PayPal employees, Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim,  begin work on a site to do for online video, what Flickr did for online photographs. They register youtube.com the next day. These folks are known as 'YouTube Superstars'.

In five short years, YouTube reshaped Internet media, rocked traditional media, and redefined political journalism. It has also created dozens of music, video and film stars. Justin Bieber and Soulja boy are just a few of the names who have become international superstars after posting a few videos on their YouTube accounts. The question now becomes, what if these artists made premium content available on a pay per view basis?

Would one hundred miillion Justin Bieber fans pay $10 to join a fan club, with exclusive access to his new music videos? Would fans of the newest Hollywood starlet pay $20 to see her in exclusive Webisodes?
