How come E&B are still popular?

Post by Vojvodkinja »

I'm not a fan of these two, but I watched couple of latest video and i could not but realize that the like bar is way more red than green. So, my question is - how do these two earn so much money outside youtube? They even published their book, don't think there are so many people that would buy it. What keeps them going?
Please note: I don't follow them, I found out about them via GG.

the like bar has nothing to do with their paycheck. it's the views that get them paid. well not really the views, the amount of people who see the ads that go up during their videos. i have an adblocker so i don't contribute to that. plus, they get a lot of free stuff from companies. they get paid to mention their free stuff. they get money from their cell phone case thing. they get paid for their makeup thing. they get paid from the book thing. you'll be surprised at the little girls who watch their videos. a $20 book is nothing to them. they can just go into a barnes&noble and just buy it.

and the company pays them huge! plus their makeup, glitzy glam, other "projects." they said the sales go up 300% when they mention the project, so i bet they are getting hundres of thousands for sponsorship. and clicks to the website from the info box. affiliated links. celaris too.

They also have representation now, which is a an agent, a manager and probably a PR company who basically gets them these deals to work with other companies, gets them to events like the teen choice awards etc....the more they are out there the more money and the bigger deals they can get. I think they will always be pretty small potatoes since I don't really see them being likeable to a larger general audience. Blair I think is more marketable than Elle, she is also younger and imo more attractive. In LA, over 25 is considered old. Elle also photographs old. Very few people make it after 25 in the way that Elle and Blair are hoping to make it.

How come E&B are still popular?
because their main audience (girls age 10-17) happen to be the easiest demographic to sell to. They are the most easily entertained and very easily impressed. No talent is required to appeal to pre-teen and teen girls.

They aren't that popular anymore. Their recent videos aren't even hitting over 200k views. Macbarbie07 surpasses their views combined with just one of her videos.

Well if you look at their book tour, they have people waiting in line for hours. I'd say they're popular. Unfortunately.

That's only their recent videos. Their views haven't dropped over the last few years. They used to get 200-250k views per video, and they still do.

and that's still sad and that's still a measure of their popularity. it should be increasing over the years, not remaining stagnant. for two gurus who have over a million subscribers each, they should be getting more views. i understand elle because she's taken a ton of breaks over the years. but blair used to get a lot more views than 200k.

In a nutshell; they're pretty, fashionable, rich, have a beautiful bedroom, have beautiful possessions and give off the illusion of living the perfect life (to a young & girly teenager anyway). These girls are entertained by them because they either want to be them, or be just like them.

I'm not a hater, but I must agree. I enjoy their videos (Elle's far more than Blair's), but for some reason, I almost never like their outfits whenever they do an ootd or if I see a full length pic.

They are starting to fade now, but I'm predicting they'll be done in about 5 years. Elle will be 30, Blair will be 25. Blair only appeals to tween and teens and she'll be too old to appeal to them by then. She doesn't appeal to adults at all with her bimbo personality and screechy voice.

Hmm Elle is currently 25 or 26 but lookwise can easily pass for mid thirties/early forties yet her main audience is teens and tweens. So idk.

Elle looks her age. At least, on camera she does.
