One of the masterminds behind the widely popular Reckless Tortuga, Jason Schnell talks about creating hilarious shows like Psycho Girlfriend and The Online Gamer, which propelled his YouTube channel to new heights.
Jason explains that Reckless Tortuga’s biggest fan favorite that really put them on the YouTube map was The Online Gamer. “Online Gamer was the thing that took our channel to a whole new level that we couldn’t even possibly fathom before when we had started,” he said.
His wife is an avid online gamer in real life and that experience turned out to be a great source for material. “The very first episode of Online Gamer and actually all the way through, all of the lines are direct quotes from things she had heard online. So the whole premise was, let’s take that offline – what happens if you were to say that to somebody to their face.”
He says the concept was just shot as a sketch as a comment on the gaming community, but just exploded. “Each stage, each kind of viral success, took us to the next level – and then that growth become exponential.”
During the full episode, Jason reveals some of the secrets for achieving YouTube financial success.
