NEW WAY To Make A Living Doing Comedy | New Stand Up Comedian Business Idea For 2020

About this video

Sam proposes a subscription service aggregating mid-tier comedians’ exclusive content (short sets, specials) at $5-7/month, similar to how Crunchyroll operates for anime. Shaan validates the idea and suggests studying comparable niche subscription businesses like Qello (live concerts), National Geographic, and Discovery Channel to understand the model.

Key takeaways

  • Sam identifies an opportunity for comedians below the top tier (not getting Netflix deals) to monetize exclusive content through an aggregated subscription platform with fan bases willing to pay for access
  • Shaan recommends researching Qello, which has 70,000 paying subscribers after 10 years, as a case study for a viable niche subscription business model
  • Studying publicly available financials of comparable companies like National Geographic and Discovery Channel can reveal how niche subscription services achieve profitability and scale
