His $3 Million a Year YouTube Channel (Thanks To SpongeBob)

Daily Dose of Internet is probably the biggest faceless channel on YouTube.

Started in 2015, each video on the channel is a 2-5 minute compilation of viral clips 👀

It’s like scrolling through TikTok without having to scroll.

Daily Dose has racked up 16 million subscribers and 6.5 billion views over the years 📈

Jason Gryniewicz is the guy behind the channel and he shared lots of details about it in a recent interview…

Some interesting nuggets 👇

• He’s had offers of $10-12 million to buy the channel
• Says he’d sell it for $20 million and go start an apple orchard
• Pays people $30/hour to scroll through TikTok and find videos
• Spends $200 to $3000 per video to license clips
• He’s 30 years old

Check out this 3-minute video where Jason explains how his channel took off…

In short, he uploaded dozens of videos over a ~2 year period and barely got any views. Then one of his videos took off several months after he uploaded it 🚀

The video doesn’t seem to be online anymore but it was called…

• Voice Actor of Spongebob Swearing

Jason says…

I have everything to thank for that SpongeBob video because, look at this, just years of emptiness, years of emptiness, nothing going on. I probably uploaded like 60 videos at this point. And then boom, just comes out of nowhere.

Before that happened, Jason was working in a bank after graduating from college with a degree in political science. He was earning about $40,000 a year and says he was “extremely depressed” 😞

Pretty incredible that a video of a SpongeBob voice actor swearing turned his life around.

Socialblade now estimates that the annual earnings from ads on Jason’s channel are anywhere from $1.2 to $18.4 million 🤯

Let’s be conservative and say he’s earning $3 million a year from it.

My main takeaway from Jason’s success: you have to keep trying things.

Jason was off-and-on with his channel for the first couple of years, but he kept coming back to it and making videos and eventually one of them hit.

But even if he hadn’t gotten lucky with that Spongebob video, so long as he kept trying he would have gotten lucky with something else eventually.

Every piece of content you put out there, every project you ship, it’s another baited hook you have in the ocean, with the potential to catch a monster 🪝

And you’re building skills and experience along the way, making each new effort more likely to bear fruit than the last.

So keep going, keep trying.
