What happens once you become well-known on YouTube. Once your videos gain popularity & you meet the requirements to become a "guru" (whatever those requirements might be), do you sign with a company? Are you required to make X number of videos a month? Do you have some sort of manager? Thanks for any info!

I'd actually like to know more about this as well. I've never quite looked into how it all works but I'm very curious!

From what I've read, once you have a certain amount of subscribers and views, Youtube then sponsors you. When this happens Youtube starts paying you for each certain amount of views your videos get (at this stage the videos also get ads, which is also where the money comes from) and is valid as long as you keep posting videos and getting a certain amount of views. If you look online it even tells you amount youtube pays for a certain amount of views. When it comes to beauty "gurus", their youtube sponsorship helps them as it makes makeup companies know about them, which is when then some contact the youtuber and send them products to review about (if they like it or not - depends on the "deal" ). Some do get hired by makeup companies and depending on their contract with it, they have to either make 1 simple video a month or many, it all depends; when it comes to being hired by a company they will normally ask for the youtuber to post a video of a certain look, like "Make an "x" makeup look of your choice using our products x,y and z" and so forth. So it all depends really :)

One of my best friends is a YouTuber (not famous by any means, but still!) and she's explained to me how it works. Once you have a certain amount of subscribers you get to be a YouTube partner.They put ads on your videos and you get paid per click on the ad. The more likes and views you have, the more you will get paid per click. You can sign with a network, I believe one of the biggest ones are StyleHaul, where they set you up with deals, and you have to do a certain amount of videos for the network's channel, and give them shoutouts and stuff. A lot of companies will send you free products, but it is up to you whether or not you want to do a review, and what that review will say. A sponsored video is when a company pays you to do a video and promote their product. It's an ad through and through, and a lot more beneficial than just getting free stuff according to my friend (which I don't agree with, but whatever!). Once a youtuber gets very famous, they will be getting A LOT of business proposals and such, so usually at this point they'll get an agent or sign with a management agency to handle all of that for them so they can just focus on their part of things.
