This 25-Year-Old YouTuber Quit Her Job At Urban Decay and Now Makes Six Figures Recording Herself Eating

This 25-Year-Old YouTuber Quit Her Job At Urban Decay and Now Makes Six Figures Recording Herself Eating Food porn has reached new heights. Just ask Kim Thai, a 25-year-old YouTuber who films herself eating large amounts of food â€" mainly seafood, Andrea Stanley for Cosmopolitan reported. Within eight months of launching her channel Eat with Kim, Thai has amassed more than 200,000 subscribers and a six-figure salary from ads and sponsorships, such as with DoorDash and Pepto-Bismol, according to Stanley. She’s since quit her social-media job at a national beauty brand to focus on YouTube full time and is planning her own clothing line. “It was a super nerve-racking move and a big leap,” Thai told Stanley. “But looking back, I’m so glad I decided to follow my heart.” She added: “And to know that my videos are something that people look forward to watching reminds me why I started.” Thai is part of the mukbang (“muck-bong”) influencer community, “a hangry and increasingly lucrative corner of the internet … in which hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of fans eat up videos of women ingesting massive quantities of food,” Stanley wrote, adding that mukbang â€" a South Korean “mash-up term” that means eating and broadcasting â€" most often features seafood. Some viewers find mukbang to be sensual, Stanley reported: “For some, hearing fingers tap on a mic, or the visceral crack of a crab leg, or the loud licking of briny butter out of a mussel is a near-pornographic experience.” But for others, watching one ingest seafood is a vicarious experience if they can’t afford the food or are allergic to it; it also provides company for those who typically eat alone, according to Stanley. But Thai and the mukbang community aren’t the only ones making a profit from YouTube, which has kicked off the careers of many famous â€" and rich â€" influencers. The 10 highest-paid YouTube stars collectively take home more than $180 million a year, according to a recent Forbes ranking. While half the top-earning YouTubers of 2018 share a focus on video games, the most lucrative channel centers on 7-year-old Ryan, who hosts Ryan ToysReview and brought in $22 million for his family last year, Business Insider’s Kevin Webb reported. Webb wrote, “YouTube’s impact on pop culture can’t be ignored â€" the platform’s top stars become the world’s premier influencers, coveted by media outlets and advertisers for their ability to reach tens of millions of followers on a daily basis.” This post originally appeared on Business Insider.

The Truth About Job Searching Over 50 - Work It Daily

The Truth About Job Searching Over 50 - Work It Daily Dear J.T. Dale: I am going to be 56 years old and can't believe it! Then I look in the mirror and believe it! Anyway, that's another story. I find myself alone with a little dog and having to take care of myself for the first time in my life. I have worked many jobs in my life, but now I am in need of a career versus just a job. I have a BA degree, have worked in retail, offices and was a teacher's assistant. I have put resumes in everywhere, faxed, emailed, walked in, etc. I think maybe age is the reason why I'm not getting anything. - Joan J.T.: I love your energy and enthusiasm. It's not resulting in job opportunities because you are approaching the process too broadly. DALE: That would be just as true if, instead of 56, you were 46 or 36, although it might not be true if you were 26. Why? After you've been in the work force for a while, employers expect you to have found a career. If you reach middle age without one, managers tend to be skeptical about your commitment. This seems unfair, but then again, the best employers are looking for people to do jobs they love doing, and that means having figured out what they love. J.T.: At 56, hiring managers expect two things from you: one, that you have a specialty; and two, that you know exactly how to leverage that specialty to help them. So, when you tell people you'll do anything, you actually are admitting you don't have the focus they expect. DALE: So it's time to analyze what you like best and least about each job you've had, and choose futures that give you the best shot at fulfillment. That exercise will give you a story to tell prospective employers. You don't have to limit yourself to just one type of job, not yet, but for each type of job, you need to tell just one good story about why it fits your work history and your personality. J.T.: I strongly suggest that you work with a career coach to help you find your focus and tailor your job search accordingly. (I maintain a network of career coaches you can review here.) Once you position yourself properly, you'll be able to do a better job of marketing your skills and networking with people who can get you hired.
