[비즈한국] With 400 hours of video uploaded every minute on YouTube, not every video can be "honey-fun." In "All That Tube," we select and introduce videos worth watching from the vast world of YouTube, along with appropriate explanations.
Money is a topic that always attracts attention, from anyone. Everyone wishes they had more money (let's exclude the few ascetics). 'How to Make Money, Sinsaimdang' is a YouTuber who captures the modern desire to become rich and reveals methods for making money on YouTube.
Defining line (04:37) - "Everyone, do you still think the world outside is hell?" Video=How to Make Money, Sinsaimdang channel
Having worked as a PD at an economic TV station, he shares his own know-how on earning six-figure incomes through online shopping malls and real estate. In particular, he has been attracting attention with a project-based video series called 'Raising a Startup Tamagotchi from 0 Won,' where he takes a friend who became unemployed after working at a gaming company and helps them build a business. Within just two months of uploading, he has already gathered 100,000 subscribers.
The titles of Sinsaimdang's videos are instantly catchy. Titles like 'Why now is the best time in history to make money,' 'Is a side-hustle online shopping mall realistically possible for office workers?', and 'The two books that allowed me to earn 30 million won a month'—these are titles that make you click without even realizing it.
Among them, the video titled 'How to generate a monthly net profit of 10 million won' makes countless office workers and small business owners swallow hard. Even if it sounds like a scam, you still click. But it's not a scam. Want to earn a six-figure salary? Just sell 30 items a day that net you 10,000 won each, right?
Sinsaimdang, who describes himself as a "representative dirt spoon" from a provincial university, a small business, and a semi-basement in Hwagok-dong, tells his viewers sincerely that they can earn a specific amount like 20 to 30 million won a month—an amount that sounds like a dream, but also seems possible if things go well. As seen in 'Raising a Startup Tamagotchi from 0 Won,' the method causing the most buzz is Naver 035420 Smart Store, though of course, there are also videos countering or refuting these claims.
Personally, I believe the reason the Sinsaimdang channel is popular is that it forces a piercing self-reflection on one's attitude toward money and the pursuit of wealth (what’s wrong with being a "hustler" anyway!). His sincerity, speaking in a calm tone while occasionally mixing in profanity as if talking to a real friend, is also one of the reasons for his popularity.
