Hey guys, I have been making airgun videos for 3 years and my channel has 41,000 subscribers. Even after all this time, and 150+ videos, I have not been able to "break into" the business. I have demonstrated I can make a top notch airgun video that gets ALOT of views.
Example: After making an Air Venturi Avenger Wood video where I put 5 shots through a dime size hole at 75 yards...for Air Venturi. They went ahead and sent Avenger Bullpups to 12+ people,but not me. I had been asking for one too. The Avenger wood video had got 60k+ views in the first month.
...so I really like Crosman. I have tried MANY times to email them and I get ignored...not even an answer. I think it's really stupid that I'm willing to put in a 40 hour work week to make a quality airgun video..and I have the established audience to get as many views on anyone on Youtube, but I still have to pay for guns with my own money... .and worse! I have to wait till they are in the store. So I have to buy an Avenger bullpup, then put in a 40 hour work week, an by then about 10 other people reviewed the gun..so forget about a ton of views.
Do I need an agent or something? I don't understand how to reach these manufacturers.
....anyway. If someone knows a decision maker at Velocity Outdoors (Crosman/Benjamin), can you privately PM me? or hook us up somehow? If I can work with Crosman, I will keep doing this. ...but I really don't want to pay $999 for a Benjamin Gunnar (already on the way to Youtubers).
Some of you may know my current situation: Summary, I know how to make video's now, so I'm looking at making videos about other stuff at this point...so I can get millions of views, hence make a living at YT. I'm on the fence about walking away from Airgun Channel. My brain and logic tells me it's time to walk away...but I don't want to leave....it's like I almost made it. I'm right on the edge of airgun channel success...but I don't think I can keep it up.
I need Crosman!
Fake it till you make it...3 years later...still faking it...never did make it.
