The point is that people today can “cash in on their passion” like Gary Vaynerchuk says. This is a perfect example. This guy is a YouTube Partner so by just filming his cats in daily situations he earns money.

There is a market for everything out there but don't mix it up. People are looking for niches. Videos about cats for example. Or cooking. Or language instruction.

What I want to say is that if you can make money by filming your cat a teacher can also make money by giving language lessons on YouTube. There are already some and I hope there will be more. I am only about 200 susbcribers away ;) .

That people are crazy about their cats.<br><br>So, if you plan on doing anything like you recommended above add a cat, a dog, or a scantily clad young lady to attract more viewers. Figure out a way to add all three and your cooking, gardening or teaching show will be a real winner!<br><br>For example a possible plot might be: A dog that talks to cats (in English) about their scantily clad mistress who perhaps doesn't understand what they are talking about.
