I hope you can continue making content, you are doing good work.

アジア人のボス！それでも最高です Don't End!プッシュし続け、ポジティブな姿勢を保つ

Asian Boss try to seek other media tech company to invest and produce more content even Asian media drama shows tried that’s as well. Buy out other media independent channel on KZfaq hired them ask them to join the team share their insights on making Asian Boss Top Media news for all Asian news. @AsianBoss #AsianBoss

Honestly we're scrapping for money right now, but as an indie game dev I would DEFINITELY sponsor a video on the channel to maybe hit part of the asian market. Yes, even the covid video.

Hey I don't comment much but I have been a viewer for a long time. Whilst I am not a daily viewer anymore, I still cling to hope to ur mission and ur genuine passion to bring authentic voice to real people may it be on the streets or otherwise. So I need to be frank, ur business model is bad. I know making a site has better profit margins but what u offer there is really only for a small segment of dedicated fans rather than somewhat casual fans who may want to donate money to their fans. Make a Patreon or a Ko-fi account (I do recommend Ko-fi since u can have greater profit margin there since Patreon business model is getting a percentage of donations whilst Ko-fi is subscription based) and be smart on the membership plans (I do have ideas but it's too long). Make a sponsor segment because they are a good revenue source. Bite the bullet and make sponsorship segments on the videos. But integrity does come first, so pick ur ADS carefully. Then after some time, when u have either made a surplus revenue from ads and gotten trust from both viewers and sponsors, u can assert making sponsor links in the description rather than sponsor segments in the video. But most importantly, make good content. Make the interview interesting that goes deep on a topic. That answer is to make better questions and follow up questions that are detailed and deep that are authentic to their point of view. Make it so that it is interesting to hear, whether it be for intellectuals or the average joe. Ur mission is for a good cause but u need to be realistic in how u are able to make that cause a reality. Lol sorry for bad English since it is not my first language

Exactly. Haven't seen anything of that in your videos. Pushing for Patreon and sponsorships is fine.

this. just get some goddamn sponsors and setup pateron and what not. ppl not interested in asianboss community, it seems. just go for another business model...

They have to be self-sustaining to remain 100% bias-free. Any sponsor that attaches its brand to asian boss will want to monitor/micromanage its content to make sure no damage comes to their brandname.

@@YC-cd3by not every sponsor will micromanage. Not sure what more can be done to keep Asian Boss afloat. This is looking more like an expensive hobby than a business now.

@@Shazzyhtown 100%. That's the term: Expensive hobby

They will not do it because they are so arrogant to not follow through the comment section suggestion...

But then, their videos aren’t free anymore so viewership will go down because some people just don’t want to pay even that much

​@@davidh7832they can still upload to KZfaq with their content, maybe just upload to Patreon early and hold back some content for the Patreon too!

Not sure how cutting cost is going to help a show that not many Asians themselves watch and, naturally, not too many non-Asians would watch it, either. I am Asian, and I have seen the ASIAN BOSS label numerous times on KZfaq; but I think I have watched less than 2-3 episodes. I don't find that the show or the founders/hosts care much about true Asian people, cultures, traditions, and issues. NOT of the Asians here in the West or the Asians of ASIA at large, in the Pacific-Ocean regions. It's mostly spent on largely Chinese, South Koreans, and Japanese.... in Asia... South Koreans have their own odd K-Drama and other endless silly pop culture/sub-culture things. The Japanese are even more narcissistic and fetish-oriented, with even more video programming. The Chinese are under a totalitarian system, where the government arbitrarily decide which contents suitable or not suitable for the Chinese people, like they're little children needing parental supervision 24/7; so the CCP doesn't allow normal KZfaq videos (only some young, tech savvy Chinese youth access FB, KZfaq, Google, etc freely). For example, there are 13M Hmong in China (there's only 500K in Laos, 750M to 1M in northern Vietnam, 100,000 or so in northern Thailand, and 500,000 in the West. But KZfaq VIDEOS released in China, by the one-two Hmong speaking channels in Yunnan... those videos have only 1,000 to 5,000 views. THAT MEANS either the Communist Chinese don't allow minorities to freely produce and to freely watch media videos... OR those 13M Hmong in China don't care about contents produced by other Hmong, in China (much less contents produced by other Hmong IN THE WEST). The average views on an average KZfaq video produced by Hmong in Laos and those produced by Hmong in the West, from a totality of less than 1M people, however, are in the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Good music videos by young Hmong artists, in the US and from Laos, get multiple MILLIONS of views.... again, from a Hmong population of 500K in the US, France, Australia, and Canada, as well as 500K in Laos, most of whom don't have easily or cheap access to the Internet.... Again, I see NO ASIAN BOSS talking about smaller Asian ethnics, either in Asia or in the West. Correct me, if I am wrong..... but if ASIAN BOSS didn't think, doesn't think, doing a 10 or 15 minute piece on, say, Sunisa Lee ---- the FIRST ASIAN WOMAN ever, on Planet Earth, to ever win the All Around Gold, from an Olympic (the Tokyo one) --- was a good or interesting idea.... as a way to really spotlight the various great achievements of the LARGE, DIVERSE ASIAN communities... then why do Asians, in general or in specific, bother watching Asian Boss? There are 1.4B Chinese, 270M Indonesians, 123M Japanese, 117M Filipinoes, 99M Vietnamese, 72M Thais, etc., etc. Again, there's only ~500K Hmong in the USA and they produce the first Asian WOMAN AA Gold Medalist from an Olympic.... ASIAN BOSS, which caters largely to Asians.... didn't think, doesn't think... that that merited a 10 - 15 minute documentary? But it has spent countless hours, over the years, chasing eclectic Chinese, South Koreans, and Japanese individuals down deep rabbit holes, on topics outside of the interest of Western, English speaking Asians... BTW, the same Suni Lee has just earned her SECOND CONSECUTIVE OLYMPIC SPOT, on the US Women Gymnastic Olympic team, for this July Paris Summer Olympics. She's the only SECOND Western Asian American woman to do that, after Amy Chow, who went to the Olympics 1996 and 2000. But while Chow won a gold medal, as a member of the US team that won the the Gold, neither she nor any other Asian woman, again, had ever won the individual, all-around women gymnastics gold, from an Olympic event.... until Sunisa Lee, of the 2020/21 Tokyo Olympics... (There's a Chinese American, in this 2024 Paris Olympics; but she's a second alternate, as she also was, in the Tokyo Olympics. The FIVE who are given an official member spot on THE US WOMEN'S GYMNASTIC OLYMPIC TEAM are Simone Biles, Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera: two African Americans, one Asian, one White, and one Latino.) Even if it's for SPORTS personality purposes or showcasing, Sunisa Lee, as an Asian woman... SHOULD merit a little piece from the ASIAN BOSS, I dare argue... Anyway.... people who watch these KZfaq videos, or who SHOULD watch these KZfaq videos.... are largely WESTERN ASIANS (in the US, Europe, and other Western countries). First of all, it's largely or exclusively in English. Secondly, very little chance the average Chinese, or South Korean, or Japanese, IN ASIA, would watch these ASIAN BOSS English programs. Or care about them, even though, again, MOST Asian Boss' programming has been largely about Chinese in China, South Koreans in South Korea, Japanese in Japan, so on and so forth....

@@davidh7832 Yeah everyone in the world is magically poor and cant support things they like.. but they'll buy that $8 starbucks daily 250 days out the year.

they've been trying this lol

Yes! I had a similar thought except with the ads

The play is to keep making the vids they are making and locking 5-10 mins of extra content behind a paywall.

i heard they already tried that route. and honestly f patreon

Exactly.

This really is true and not enough people understand it. Instead they burn through their initial seed money, burn through their 2nd round of investments from family and friends, burn through credit cards, burn through anything else but in the end it still fails because the fundamentals of business don’t change and haven’t changed since Adam Smith’s time. Trying to run a profitable business by relying on an income stream from KZfaq is throwing away your money. KZfaq’s algorithm for how a video is referred is opaque to the content creators. While Patreon is a nice idea, it can’t sustain a business model like this because it still relies on KZfaq’s referrals for new viewers to drive them to become potential Patreons. And that’s assuming that using another subscriber based model is any better for a business to be viable long term. I doubt that it is because there’s too little control over that platform.

It could be profitable if they cut the fat. Man in the street interviews shouldn't have this tremendous overhead they're always talking about

Patreon takes a percentage of what people give.

How so?

Yeah, how so

lol, the world doesn't revolve around you. The most widely spoken and understood language on earth is Mandarin Chinese. Nobody is going to watch Chinese people dubbed in English. Grow up.

Yikes! Such as who? Cheers

uhh street interviews? like they've been doing?

Exactly!

🤔 They got $745,000 fundraising in 2021. Supposedly their budget for 1 year. Why are they in Asia but making $100K each (if we divide it equally among 2 founders, 5 staffs in 5 countries, etc.) isn't enough? Posting on KZfaq is FREE.

A lot of their videos get demonetized for various reasons

got demonetized bcuz of sensitive issue

Subscriber count is only good for bragging rights. Revenue comes from viewers watching ads on videos.

They opt out of ad revenue or product placements to maintain purity in their message. They're funded by their supporters' contributions, it's a very small number of the audience who participate.

They need sponsors
