Caturday Business Idea

[Lynyrd Skynyrd]

I picked three mice corpses off the patio this morning. My female cats are the hunters, and are always out all night. If I fixed small video cameras to one or more cats, filmed and edited their hunts, and posted to a monetized YouTube channel, would that make significant money?  Keep in mind that they kill big rats and gophers as well.

Animal videos are always a winner. I watch videos of people testing their pets with obstacle courses. Or a Japanese couple with urban otters. The more adorable the better.

Judge for yourself.

Episode #66 of "Cats with GoPro" garnered 2.1 million views.



How much is 2 million views worth?

Earnings from 2 million YouTube views can range from $3,000 to $15,000 depending on factors like ad engagement and viewer demographics. Longer videos with mid-roll ads can significantly increase revenue from 2 million views.

Yes, it can make money, but it's like anything else entertainment industry. Not everyone gets views and just because other similar channels did well, doesn't mean yours will. It's just such low risk/high reward that it never hurts to try. Not much of an investment and if you can actually get your cat to not make it's sole purpose getting that damn thing off its neck, why not?

I may investigate small video cameras and how they are mounted to cats.  The cat that I suspect is my best huntress is currently sleep on a kitchen chair. These would not be the typical cute oet videos, but more like a short  nature documentary.

They have secret meeting you know. Some have more than one family. They shrug off collars, so good luck. And any cat carrying human surveillance devices is shunned and excluded. They only play along as it serves them.



They know. They know. See how they stare at sunbeams? We are the dust particles they so aloofly observe.

What are they up to???
