This resident of Norway is 58 years old, but he's doing things that even a fit 30-year-old couldn't pull off! I've watched several videos on his channel, and I gotta say, each one is a real creative masterpiece. It's pretty cool to see an older guy like him still going strong.
You know, living in a cold climate might be helping him stay young. They've been talking about that for a while now, and I'm convinced there's some truth to it. Anyway, the guy's YouTube channel is called "Apetor," and he's got this unique content you just have to see for yourself.
What's even more impressive is that he's buddies with bottles, but he's still sharp as a tack. And get this, he even enjoys his vodka, which he says helps with his creative videos. Gotta admire his passion and how he pushes the boundaries of what's possible.
I'm all for people staying active and keeping their bodies in shape, no matter their age. This dude's a maximalist, making the most of every day, and his imagination knows no bounds. And don't worry, his videos are harmless, just his crazy ideas brought to life.
So in this article, I bring to your attention unique content that is available on the YouTube channel called "Apetor."
Yes, he now has almost 1.4 million subscribers, but he has been going to these indicators for 11 years. I'm no expert, but the Norwegians, like the Germans, believe that everything has a place. Therefore, in the description of each video, you can find out the maximum amount of information about where and when the video was made and on what equipment it was recorded. All of this can be summed up in one word: "old school." But in order to learn more about the author of this channel, I suggest going to the appropriate section "about the channel" and reading the information that the author left there.
In Norway the official language is Norwegian, but for some reason, everything is written in English there. And the answer is very simple: watch videos from all over the world in a universal language that is understandable in any corner of our planet. Then we read the description of the channel and perceive all the details that are written there.
In general, the author of the channel is a Norwegian who was born in 1964 in the city of Sandefjord in Norway. As the author writes further, he works at a paint and varnish factory in this city, but he has a lot of free time, which he does not spend like all his peers.
Traffic, alcohol, forests, ponds, and Volvos, but not enough blackjack with sluts. He drinks real vodka, which he writes about in the description of his channel, so no props. But as the author himself writes, he does not advertise this brand of vodka, which is shown in his video, because in Norway, advertising of alcohol is prohibited. The lyrics are, of course, very exciting, but I asked you here in a different way.
Numbers and Profit
The channel was created in 2006 and has gained approximately 440 million views on its videos. It is impressive to see a 58-year-old man with a YouTube channel that has 1.4 million subscribers and 440 million video views. However, it seems unrealistic if I haven't watched the videos myself, as the author's gestures are as vivid as his imagination and common sense. In 2018, the channel had 200 000 subscribers, and by the winter of 2019, there were 400 000 subscribers. In 2020, the channel will have reached over a million subscribers. It's pretty cool, isn't it?
The most recent video was published 11 months ago, and at first, we thought the author was no longer active. However, after checking social media, we found that he is alive and well. He actively maintains a TikTok account, although not as much on Instagram.
It turns out that videos lasting more than a minute tend to receive more views than similar videos that are 2-3 minutes long. This is due to viewer interest, as it's easier to get an emotional response in a minute than waiting for 2-3 minutes. Does this make sense? If not, please comment. So, what's the point of this article if we haven't seen the top videos yet?
Good point, let's fix that.
Now, we understand where the success of the RED21 channel comes from — the author creates trashy but action-packed videos that are primitive and obscene. The author, Tor Eckhoff, has a great sense of humor and a vivid imagination. He even made a profitable video of himself drinking vodka while lying in ice water in the bathroom, and he did it without words in the ASMR format. The most popular video on the channel has received 102 million views in the past five years, with other videos getting 28 million views, and so on. Let's find out how the author monetizes his content by analyzing the links in the video description.
In the video description, there are no tags or links. There is one link, but it's in the pinned comment and harder to find. There are over a hundred videos on the channel, so it's too early to tell how the author monetizes his content. However, there's an idea to check the links in the channel header.
Additional Monetization: Merchandise Store
If we go back to the "About the Channel" section, we can examine all of the external links that the author has provided.
We notice that there are links to the author's social media platforms and also a link to their store and second YouTube channel, where they sell videos recorded on their phone. It's unclear if the social media platforms and the second YouTube channel are monetized, so we should investigate the merchandise store where fans can purchase souvenirs featuring the author's image.
This merchandise store offers a variety of items priced between $15 to $41. By averaging the cost of the goods, we can estimate that they are approximately $20 each. If we assume that every 1 000 channel subscribers purchase a product from the store, the author would earn approximately $28 000. These are just my estimates and could vary. The information on the channel shows us that the video is monetized through the YouTube affiliate program and through personal merchandise sales.
Channel Monetization
From the data provided by the service, we can see that the channel was created in October 2006, and during this time, the author has published 283 videos that have received 438 million views and attracted 1.38 million subscribers. Every 340th video view resulted in a new subscriber for the channel, and the conversion rates are pretty high.
When it comes to the earnings of the YouTube channel, the monthly profit ranges from $312 to $5 000, which equates to an annual income of $3 700 to $59 800. The content is designed to appeal to a wide audience, so we believe that the actual income generated by the channel is likely higher than the $60 000 per year indicated by the tracking service.
In addition to the income generated by the channel, the merchandise store associated with it also contributes significantly. Despite this, it is still impressive that a 58-year-old man is able to earn $60 000 a year simply by filming and posting his crazy ideas on YouTube.
