Hulyan Maya is a YouTube channel that gets around a million hits a day, and the premise is so simple, you might wonder why you didn’t think of it yourself.
Parents Mark and Rhea film their three kids Hulyan, Maya and baby Marxlen playing with and trying out new toys, and as a result of their awesome videos, they are set to make $1.5 million this year from advertising revenue. The couple, who won’t reveal their surname for privacy and safety issues, have quit their jobs, paid off their mortgage, and have set up full college-savings accounts for each of their kids.
The videos posted by the couple mainly feature their children playing with Thomas the Tank Engine toys. Some also feature them riding around in oversized, motorized vehicles. The videos are long, around 12 to 15 minutes, but the kids are super cute and very watchable.
The Hulyan Maya channel racked up more than 26.5 million views last week alone, making it a viable platform for advertisers, who place ads before each video is screened.
Videos for kids make up 20 percent of YouTube’s most viewed channels — almost 18 billion hits since video content has been tracked. Mark said he’s not worried about what will happen to his audience as his children age.
“I personally think that even when Hulyan grows up, those subscribers are still there to follow you, to watch us,” he told Today.
