His YouTube channel Ryan\u2019s World is more financially successful than household names like BuzzFeed, PewDiePie and WWE. We tracked Ryan\u2019s journey and jolted down the highpoints that jump-started his virality. Here\u2019s how Ryan earns the big bucks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/sBTcZPzASyO2P1TKGhMDF6F-dK5pKt1nWosJP75DHOiHqZwV8ZsDj5Ts6sCDeANRlmNlTuY0iWwoPxXmc7v4Kb1OQb2ciWie4TweVBWyLkxEozlRGL1Etc96OGh0JmS4rIJVDOX9\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Ryan diversified his channel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2019, Ryan changed his channel name from Ryan ToysReview to Ryan\u2019s World. Ryan\u2019s channel shifted focus from just reviewing toys, to branching out and covering diverse content around cartoons, trending challenges, toy reviews, animation stories, science experiments and educational topics. This opened up exciting new avenues to earn additional income.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why should we brush our teeth???

He signed with a massive kids entertainment studio <a href=\"https:\/\/pocket.watch\/\">pocket.watch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signing with pocket.watch was a huge win for Ryan. Pocket.watch has helped YouTubers build offline business and has also taken Ryan\u2019s channel to a whole new level. The partnership has yielded a line of exclusive Ryan\u2019s World merchandise like toys, inflatables, home products, clothing and other products, that has enabled fans to interact with characters in Ryan\u2019s storylines. Ryan\u2019s World merchandise picked up the pace and went viral after it was distributed globally on large online stores like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ryans-World-Giant-Mystery-Egg\/dp\/B07KS17NZC\/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Ryan%27s%2BWorld&amp;qid=1577614183&amp;sr=8-2&amp;th=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/8R656QL7edthPAMx9cf-8m4gub4mqsdaySy9YUptY8CmRcvWGXUbIYMIdp0G_0eWMu4PI_OauUlq23m1eIE8HFAhDRicwlYFj1s5PJ56XZHD2nGtRnlNEcRSflSx7OPoVhXMX5iC\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Ryan\u2019s World has its own television series<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pocket.watch created and produced Ryan\u2019s Mystery Playdate, an American live-action preschool television series. The show has an innovative spin to it, as it combined the original Ryan&#8217;s World YouTube channel style with a standard television show format. The dialogues are mostly improvised. The show took a leap when Nick.Jr. acquired it in 2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ryan&#039;s Mystery Playdate Giant Ice Cream Challenge Premiere Today on Nickelodeon!!\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fSwtoLBox9o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. His videos have easily searchable titles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you notice the YouTube titles on Ryan\u2019s World\u2019s older toy review videos, you can see that they are super long. The titles are packed with keywords that describe the products being reviewed. This is a great strategy to reel in people who are typing in keywords to search for a particular toy. The first thing that\u2019s going to pop up is Ryan\u2019s video. In the video below, the video title mentions the store Walmart, and the most popular toys people are searching for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mhlNTOdbLeU<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. His channel is optimised for different languages<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ryan\u2019s parents hail from a Vietnamese and Japanese origin. Their multicultural <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fPFyPhzydzQ&amp;t=588s\">family vlogs<\/a> attract people from dynamic backgrounds to watch their lifestyle videos. Ryan\u2019s World has leveraged this diversity and unveiled a Spanish and Japanese dubbed channel. The dubbed channels will have the same content as the original channel, only in different languages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Pokemon Go en vida real capturando a Pikachu\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2j2ixD8ldMg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ryan\u2019s World is all set for global domination. Even though the new Children&#8217;s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) imposes restrictions on advertising children\u2019s YouTube videos, Ryan\u2019s World is a stellar example of a kid\u2019s channel that is still earning revenue and beating its competitors fair and square.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Interested in getting your YouTube channel seen by a huge audience?
