Slightly off topic but I'm in awe of what FullSend have done. stevewilldoit and Nelk are absolutely printing money. They make no $ from Youtube, but their merch sales likely fund alot of this (I'm in eCommerce myself so its even more interesting to me), the stuff is tacky and **** but sells out (in vast quantities) and they dont have to kill their margin with Facebook ads like most eComm companies, they have their YouTube which barring their time/spend on videos is free - 3-5m views an episode. Amazing really. Would be interesting to find out how well their eComm operation actually does, it's all very high margin crap.
Probably alot of that SWD money comes from Roobet as an affiliate as he prolly has tens of thousands of schmuck college kids signed up under his name. But they arent making it from winning at gambling/slots lol. Maybe some $ with the partnerships like Wizza/Howler Head etc. I do think it's ****ing genius what theyve done with HappyDad etc which seems like its smashing it, will likely sell to a large beverage company and they will all be worth hundreds of millions - the guys they have running it know wtf they are doing. Kyle is basically a marketing genius.
I'm actually a fan of theirs from a business perspective, but the gambling thing is bullshit and they are all suckering people into gambling at the worst of the worst edge games, it's all pretty clever marketing and those games are fun as ****, very addictive and you'll get rinsed. So the money must be very hard to turn down I think.
