Buck an Indie Success Story
There is a great post over on Tilzy about Michael “Buck” Buckley, host of extremely popular YouTube show “What the Buck?”
“Starting with a small, local cable access show in CT with a female co-host, Buck tested the net’s self-broadcasting waters with his cousin, who posted some of his video clips on YouTube. Eventually, the few times a week What the Buck? blew up to be one of the biggest shows on the site. With 113,920 (or so) subscribers, Buck’s channel is ranked the 7th most subscribed-to page on YouTube and is the site’s most popular entertainment channel.”
I love that there are true independents out there proving that a combination of talent, consistency and dedication can put you ahead of the pack. Here’s a sample:
