I looked at his analytics screen and smiled when I saw the difference since the last ti I looked at it 2 days ago.

The amount of views I'd been getting over the last few days now that I had other videos on the channel was very high, as all the videos were growing, and adding it all up made the daily channel views skyrocket!
Not to ntion how surprised I was to see that the Boyfriend Live Version video was doing so well!
In just a few hours, the video had already gotten 36k views!
That was still a little less than The Lazy Song had gotten when I posted it, but it indicated that the song would probably get more views than the other songs on the channel, which was great news.
Adding up the views from Tube and Spokify, I had earned over $600, but I could only withdraw that money every 30 days, so even if these two sources of inco increased the amount I earned, I would still have to wait until the beginning of the next month to receive it.
One thing I was happy to think about was promoting my Instabram in the video I posted today.
Since the Boyfriend Live Version video showed my face, I had no reason to hide it anymore.
Looking at the comnts on the video and the ssages I received on Tube and Instabram, most of them said the sa thing.
[I've literally played this 100 tis and I'm not exaggerating...]
[OMG, BlackVelvet finally showed his face! He's so beautiful!!!]
[Help, I wasn't prepared for so much beauty! This music video is amazing, and he's wonderful!]
[I'm speechless! He's too perfect!]
[I'm in love! He's even more handso than I imagined!!!]
[Bro has voice, looks cool, makes good music, now we can see that he is even handso, how can I compete?!!]
[I saw my girlfriend watching this and ca to see what it was, now she is not my girlfriend anymore :)]

Despite the ssages from guys complaining about their girlfriends, I can't bla them for getting angry about the lyrics of a song like this, because I'd be angry too if it was my girlfriend listening to it that often.
From what I've analyzed of the Tube Analytics difference between my songs, while Numb and In The End had an audience ratio of 65% male and 35% female, The Lazy Song had a ratio of 55% male and 45% female, but Boyfriend is on a completely different level.
Boyfriend had 83% female and only 17% male, and as far as I could tell, that gap was only getting bigger, so that song was the one that was most responsible for getting the most female audience.
The advantage of the female audience was that the girls weren't as exclusive as the guys.
While the guys only listened to songs that were made with them in mind, or songs that were sowhat generic, the girls were different.
As long as they liked an artist, they would listen to both female-oriented and male-oriented music, making that audience more loyal.
However, I didn't want to focus only on the female audience and leave the male audience behind, because tapering off is only an alternative when you have no other choice.
With my talent, because the system supports , I could diversify my audience to appeal to both audiences.
And if the comnts on the song on Tube were like this, when I opened the DMs on Instagram, I was shocked by the number of people who ssaged .
To take advantage of the Tube promotion, I also took a photo that Selena took of at the concert and posted it on my profile while promoting the Tube video.
In this way, Tube brought viewers to Instabram, and Instabram brought viewers to Tube, creating a chain of promotion.
Compared to my previous posts on my profile, which were photos without my face and only got about 400 likes, now that I've posted my first photo with my face, the likes are already at 1,800 and rising.
Editing the song today earned a new skill.

The scene where the caraman fild with my back turned wasn't actually a scene of singing Boyfriend.
It was a scene from another song I was singing at the ti, but since no one could sing either, it was difficult for the audience to know which song it was.
So I used this snippet to tell the audience I already had about the tension on my face.
This was only possible after the skill went up to level 2.
With a skill like this at level 2, the effect was much more practical than with a more complicated skill, because in 2 months of training, the improvent I would get in video editing would be much greater than 2 months of trying to design a rocket.
But one thing stuck in my mind now that I could film myself.
"Maybe I should start making long videos?" I asked myself in surprise.
Since I could already show my face, making long videos could get a bigger audience, more views, and therefore more money.
While a music video earned $0.85 per thousand views, from what I researched, a video longer than 10 minutes could earn between $4 and $12 depending on the topic of the video for the sa amount of views.
So while The Lazy Song video earned $850 for 1 million views, I would have earned at least $4,000 if the video wasn't about music.
But I wasn't going to complain, because not only did that money help my family pay off their debts, it also helped build my na, so if I started making longer videos and got more views, it would all be thanks to the popularity I'd gained from the songs.
"Are you thinking about doing vlogs?" Liv asked, scaring to death.
"Where did you co from?" I shouted as I put my hand to my chest and breathed heavily.
"I ca to call you to dinner, but you were so focused on your own little world that you didn't even hear talking to you, even talking to yourself in the bedroom..." She complained as she rolled her eyes at .
"My bad, but yes, I'm thinking about the possibility of making longer videos, maybe vlogs." I explained. I explained. "But I'm not sure yet, it would be weird to change the the of the channel, it would divide the audience and maybe reduce the reach of the songs."
Nodding her head, Liv also started to think: "Why don't you record the backstage of your shows? You can make vlogs like reach of the songs."
Nodding her head, Liv also started to think: "Why don't you that, still keep the sa the as your channel, but you can get more people to listen to your music and turn the people who have already heard your songs into your fans".
When I heard that, I was surprised.
"That's a great idea Liv!" I laughed as I hugged her.
Unlike before, when she would pull away or try to push away, she didn't do that anymore.
She just accepted the hug and her face turned red with embarrassnt.
"The problem is that it's going to be very difficult to record..." I thought of a problem.
"Don't you have an agency? Tell them that, they take 20% of your salary, you have to have a reason to pay them that." She complained, rolling her eyes again.
I laughed at her explanation, it made sense. Selena herself told that if I had any problems I could just talk to her, if I asked her for a caraman like the one she got to shoot my music video, wouldn't that be easy for her?
"Let's have dinner, you can talk to her in the anti." Liv said as she got up and went to the kitchen.
I followed her and started to send the ssage to Selena.
[I'm thinking of starting vlogs to capitalize on the popularity of my channel, can you get a caraman?] I sent.
This ti she didn't answer right away, probably busy with sothing else.
It was only after dinner that she replied. [Yes, I can, but since the inco from Tube is yours, we can't afford a caraman].
Reading this, I nodded, it made sense, since I wanted to keep the profits from Tube, she can help find a good caraman, but the cost of keeping that person would be mine.
[No problem,] I replied.
I didn't know what the average price of a caraman was, but as long as the price wasn't like $500 a day, I thought I could afford it.
I looked at it as an investnt, even if I spent money now, that money would co back quickly.
If I posted one video a week with 50k views, that would make $300, which was close to what the caraman could charge, so if the video made more than that, that was profit, not to ntion the hidden profit the videos would make on my songs as well.
Within minutes, Selena sent a list of nas of videographers with their portfolios.
So were extrely professional, with impeccable quality, but their prices were also very high, charging $2,000 a day.
Others were very amateurish, but the price was also low, only $100 a night.
Looking at the list, I looked for a young man who was willing to learn and had decent qualities.
With ti, I could learn more about him and use [Teach Lv25] to teach him how to improve so that he could have a level in the future.
Among the nas with these criteria, there was a very promising young man with talent who didn't charge too much.
The quality of his recordings was good, his price was only $200 a day, and he was only a few years older than .
When I looked at his na, I was surprised that instead of putting his na out there for other people to contact him, he used a nickna.
[JKing]
If it wasn't for the contact information he left explaining his status in the portfolio, I wouldn't have even known what he looked like since his profile picture was a white and blue tiger.
A little suspicious, I decided to at least do a test. If the quality was good, it would be good to train him and increase his salary over ti.
Adding his contact number to my phone, I decided to send him a ssage first.
[Hey, your portfolio was recomnded to , are you free to shoot this weekend?]
While waiting for his reply, I took the ti to develop my ga a bit more and relax my mind.
