Before the availability of YouTube partner program he asked for donations from his viewers after claiming to have run out of money. He also sold everything except his Mac, camera, and clothes, and overdrawing his bank account so he could spend a night in a hotel as he found it too scary sleeping in a car in Brooklyn.
According to an online viewer census from 2007 it showed that one-third of his viewers were 16- and 17-year-old girls. In that same year Philip opened his second YouTube channel, “PhilipDeFranco”, which includes a series of vlogs which he calls “The Vloggity”.
Philip conducted an experiment in August 2007 by uploading a video titled “Big Boobs and You”. The video’s thumbnail image was what the title described, apart from the image which only flashed for a split second. The rest of the video’s content was him talking. Quickly it became his most successful video at the time, with 1.8 million views. Late he changed his content to sex, gossip, and news.
Philip made use of his large audience to win the Spore Creature Creator, a game promotion competition, and in doing so beat celebrities such as Stan Lee, Katy Perry, and Elijah Wood. The prize which was to be given to the was to choose which charity would receive a donation of $15,000. Philip chose the PKD Foundation, an organization dedicated to fighting polycystic kidney disease (PKD), which he attributed to his family’s history with the condition. His large online audience also enabled him to win Wired’s Sexiest Geek of 2008 competition, a reader voted contest.
He claimed in an interview in 2009, to have a salary of over $250,000 from a number of sources on the internet, not just YouTube, but later denied it in several videos. Philip claimed in February 2012 that he paid himself $100,000 a year, and reinvests the rest back into his company. He has also been paid by companies to create videos to promote Carl’s Jr.’s burgers, and the US television series Lie to Me and Fringe.
Philip was a founding member of The Station, but left only a few months after it was created. He also launched Like Totally Awesome (LTA), in which video reviews submitted by viewers are compiled into a single video. Reviews submitted cover movies, video games, and technology. Sarah Penna, the creator of the YouTube multi-channel network Big Frame is the one who was running the show.
