Sure, I also got that, but the channel has 4,287 subscribers already, man, I am going to have to shift the Un Ramas from Hard rock/metal, back to entirely symphony I reckon, as that is doing the trick for Kabuki

Have you monetized that channel yet Kabuki?

It could nearly pay for the hobby, if you set that up right.

The music, the voice.. the whole presentation is super classy. It's so nice to see a doll video that's scripted and edited too. If you keep this up, it could make the whole lifestyle appear dignified

Good question Anung! My hope was exactly that - that this hobby could pay for itself with the right coverage.

I monetized a bit late in the game, after the channel saw some odd spikes (one unboxing video has nearly 1million views). Also, I monetized right after the first adpocalypse, so all my videos have been set to "Limited or no ads" and now every new video I post is the same way. Adsense requires $100 earned before any money gets paid, maybe if I put out a lot more content, I could get there? So far, $0 earned from ads.

I also tried doing affiliations. Haven't contacted any doll manufacturers for freebies because I would rather pay them for their hard work, and give my honest opinion instead of biased reporting. I did try contacting some larger adult toy websites but they never got back to me. $0 from sponsorships.

Lastly, I did have affiliate links in my video descriptions to Amazon but then Amazon sent me an email saying that my affiliate account has been revoked due to "graphic displays of penetration" on my channel. I appealed it and then the rep was firm (pun intended) about the videos showing lewd acts, even though I tried to convince them that it was obviously not a real human. I had a few sales of camera equipment through the affiliate link, totaling $1 from Amazon.

I just put some ebay affiliate links up in the new video so we'll see if that has any effect. I also have a few other things in the works that might make a few bucks. I'm content doing this to share the joy of dolls with others, and if I make enough to buy a beer at the end of the day, then it was worth the effort putting the content out there. Just like how it was when I used to play shows with my old metal band

Thanks for the compliment! I think the lifestyle DESERVES to be respected more than most people give it credit for.

Sure, the main money I guess is in the music side with CD baby, I was interested to see if decent cash could be made after watching this clip

generally those who are making big coin there are uploading vidz every few days.

Thanks for the feedback, and perhaps that vid may share some things you may not have considered.

Thanks dude, I never heard of that merch.amazon.com sure. Pretty cool

This video shows the tendency to implant hair more into a sex doll, which is closer to real life.

Cool reviews! Will check out your Youtube
