The Cheesy Animated YouTube Channel Earning $100,000’s Per Month

The channel is My Story Animated 👀

Their most popular video, with 54 million views in just over a year…

• No one knew I was a famous singer…

The channel launched in January of 2019 and has since racked up 17+ million subscribers and more than 8 billion views 📈

They’ve come a long way from their first video, which doesn’t look great…

• I Cant Stop Stealing From My Friends And Family…

The channel claims to animate real stories submitted by fans, but they don’t seem to provide any easy way to submit stories. Accordingly, there are a lot of claims online that the stories are fake or highly exaggerated 😕

Regardless, they’re clearly making bank.

Social Blade estimates that the channel could be earning as much as $963,600 per month from ad revenue alone 💰

I doubt their earnings are that high. $200,000 a month is probably a more accurate estimate… still way more than I would have guessed for cheesy animated videos.

If you want to have a go at creating your own animated videos, here’s a 14-minute video showing how to do it with AI tools (skip to the 12:30 mark to see their end result). 

They mainly use free tools there, but recommend one that costs $29/month for better results.

Of course, creating such animations is the easy part.

The hard part is emulating the crazy growth and financial success of My Story Animated 🚀

How did they get so big anyway?

I couldn’t find any definitive info on this, but my guess is they used the Jerry Springer approach: tell outrageous stories and lean into the controversy that ensues 😏

You can get a sense of this by searching for “my story animated reaction” on YouTube.

As the saying goes, there’s no such thing as bad publicity.

And that especially seems to be the case when you’re a faceless channel owned by a mysterious Israeli company called Zovid 🇮🇱

A more realistic way to earn a living creating animated videos is to do it for businesses, like these two Irish guys…
