Receiving toys , playing with them and getting paid for it. At just six years old, Ryan has turned any child's dream job into a (quite profitable) one. And it's all thanks to YouTube .
According to data provided by Forbes magazine , little Ryan is one of the highest-paid children on Google's video platform. Through his channel, Ryan ToysReview, he has managed to earn 11 million dollars between June 1, 2016 and June 1, 2017.
Despite his young age, Ryan has always shown an interest in YouTube. Through the platform, he was (and still is) a loyal follower of numerous channels in which boys and girls from all over the world shared with the rest the tests and games they performed with toys . His life changed the day he asked his mother why he didn't have his own YouTube channel.
The road has not been easy. His first video was filmed by his mother (who prefers to remain anonymous) and consisted of a 15-minute unboxing of some Lego pieces . This video went largely unnoticed.
This is quite normal for most YouTube stars at the beginning . Just a year after his debut, he already had a million subscribers to his channel. Today, he has more than 10 million.
“He has the job that every child his age dreams of: receiving toys and playing with sri lanka phone number day after day. And that makes him happy,” his mother explained in an interview given a few months ago to the Washington Post .
YouTube has become the perfect stage for people of any age to become authentic global stars. All they need to do is provide quality content that is of interest and adds value to the niche they specialize in .
But there is an open debate in the case of children. According to a report published by Adecco earlier this year, YouTuber appears among the 10 most desired professions among children.
Opinions are divided. On the one hand, there are voices that look favourably on children becoming YouTubers, as they consider this type of activity to be a perfect complement to education in the face of the advance of new technologies.
On the other hand, there are those who believe that behind the YouTuber children there are only parents who have seen an economic opportunity in their children.
What is clear is that not only are children consuming more and more content on YouTube , but there are also more and more cases in which children themselves are generating content for others.
There are opinions for all tastes. What is clear is that children on YouTube are the best channel to reach other children through an experience that combines education, fun and new technologies and that has greater impact than traditional information messages.
