Kevin Chapman (lollujo) is the creator of two YouTube channels. The first, Kevin Chapman, features daily vlogs and Football Manager videos, while the second, Lollujo, features gaming videos. Kevin first started his gaming channel in 2015 as a hobby, releasing some fairly terrible Football Manager videos whilst still working full-time as a teacher. Gradually his videos got a little less terrible and people started to watch and subscribe to the channel and in 2017 he added the vlog channel to have a home for all of the non-gaming videos that he wanted to make. Both channels grew quickly throughout 2017 and by the end of that school year Kevin was able to leave his job and work exclusively on making YouTube videos and Twitch streaming. Kevin loves his job – he gets to sit at his desk playing games or visit theme parks with his kids and call it all work! – and for that he’s incredibly grateful to every single person who’s ever watched one of his videos for giving him the opportunity to do this for a living. Unfortunately, YouTube themselves aren’t quite so supportive to smaller creators and despite his channels continuing to grow throughout 2018, Kevin’s ad revenue has been slowly declining since the start of the year. Kevin is also hoping that Patreon will allow him to take a few more risks with the content he creates – for example, different games, different styles of video, and more creative content without having to worry about the impact it’ll have on whether he can pay the bills – he’s sure some of his subscribers have been as frustrated as he’s been at times that certain video styles and series, such as Total Extreme Wrestling, tech reviews, unboxings, collaborations and even ideas such as the autism podcast and wrestling channel have disappeared or been used very sparingly, but the reality of the situation is that as they’re not as popular as Football Manager videos or autism vlogs, he finds his hands tied by needing to pay the bills. Of course, he’s not saying that a successful Patreon will see him abandon the content that brought them there in the first place – he’ll always make daily FM videos and vlogs, but it’d be great to be able to stretch his creative muscles a little more often with extra videos and series on different topics without having to worry about the impact it’ll have on his ad revenue.##\n\n Kevin Chapman (lollujo) is the creator of two YouTube channels.
