Dan & Phil Part 77: getting that d........vitamin

[Ataraxia25]

it's so good to see the faces of the people working behind the scene of the tour. i want to hug them all

[alittledizzy]

Honestly there's not really a way to know how much they're making, like 6 figures is probably as believable or likely as ~30-50K, all we can really figure out are minimums. So sure, okay, ~18-33k to start, but beyond that, who knows but D&P. It's not going to just fall down to how many views they get (it matters, but it'll just be a starting point), but also how good their team is at negotiating. Maybe their spons "only" average ~600K views, but depending on what their advertiser's goals are, maybe that's plenty to pay out a good chunk of cash. I don't know if it's a thing to share their past information, but if they knew how many downloads they got on a previous spon video, could they use that information to negotiate higher rates with another sponsor? Like if they're similar products? like both app games? idk.

Here are some american-based people sharing some numbers, which might be helpful? My kink is people talking about actual numbers when discussing salary/income.

^ This is more about CPM stuff, but I still found it interesting. They start talking $ around 16:40
She talks about some actual numbers (well guesstimates, but at least based on her experience) about how much a video with over 1M views might make
(don't have time to do any timestamps for more interesting things, but they don't talk about it for that long)


Starting at 9:20 - talking about a lost brand deal: $80,000 for 6 instagram posts, 6 YT shoutouts (shoutouts, not full videos?) & 6 work days.

Quotes that make my soul leave my body just contemplating them:
"He was scared that I was going to judge him and tell him he's not getting a good enough deal."
"If you tell that to us, tell that to me, I'd be like 'Jason, you're getting kinda undercut there, you should be making at least another $50,000."

I don't have time to re-listen to it all right now (I'm v busy and important), but I think he goes on to say it was a spon intended for his family channel (unless that was a different deal I'm thinking of, in which case nevermind), which has significantly less subscribers than his main channel. And he's "only" got 1.3M on instagram (now. and this was from last year, so it would have been less then). I know advertising for family things is a different ad market or whatever, but yeah. Trying to figure out how much anybody could or did make for something is basically like looking at their socialblade and trying to figure out which earnings they're making based on their estimations, in Jason Nash's case, anywhere from 3.3K to 53.5K per month lol.

I love this video embeds. It is really nice to hear actual real figures, you're definitely right.

Instagram post from II crew. tol boys sits

Ahhhh sweet group pic!

[Ablissa]

That crew pic makes me feel so emotional. I already miss dnp and they posted a video yesterday. I miss the instastories.
I'm seeing people speculating about the "until the next one" from the caption. To me that obviously points to tbc, I really don't think they'll be doing another tour anytime soon, no matter how much I wish they would. It's a depressing thought to think that I will most likely never see them in person again.

@ their spon earnings - super interesting discussion. One of the reasons I really appreciate IDB! I have no knowledge to contribute. I just want to comment that I love how they were supposed to advertise the phone, and yet a lot of people (tumblr/twitter) think they're advertising the game.

[ratlad]

the crew photo just looks like a family reunion tbh
i love the couple to the right, that man with the very long beard lookin like he's posing for a prom pic, holding his wife.
dnp whomst??

[daichii]

i hate them, I'm still super obsessed with love nikki and i think I'll give pubg a go

that crew photo made me realize just how many people worked to get this tour done, it's really heartwarming

[LurkingTrash]

gosh that crew photo is so sweet
dnp look like they are comfortable too, like when you're with a group of friends kind of thing that must come from several months of interaction and space sharing
I really do hope that they (and everyone in the picture) had the time of their lives

[flarequake]

The tour crew photo is lovely. Kinda nice to see a mix of ages too.

Saw the most hilarious fan art this morning when I opened Tumblr, thankfully she posts elsewhere too cos I can’t embed from Tumblr mobile

[Ablissa]

Phil posted an insta story. Dan's pimp fluffy blanket can be seen
I'm so happy to get even something as small as this, maybe they will really continue the stories.

[sonicgreen]

I hope they enjoy a good hibernation for a week or so, they really deserve it. They mentioned that they’ll have to be innthe editing suite working on the II “movie” pretty soon after returning home, wonder when that will be?

[LtrllySusan]

Hollow Knight has some pretty tricky optional and DLC bosses, I'm curious if he beat those too.
I'd still totally love a DAPG Dark Souls series but I know that will never happen (.....unless I become a millionaire and #spon it?)

Oh my gosh, I wish they would play Dark Souls. I want to see their frustration at constantly dying, and cooperation to beat difficult bosses (although they may not co-op and just play as one player, if they were to play it)
I also don't think it will happen, though... Petition for @LtrllySusan to become a millionaire and throw money in their face to make it happen!

[flarequake]

It’s so incongruous to see Phil using Dan’s font, but giving the game beetles out of 10. Glad they’re having a relaxing time, though, or as relaxing a time as you can when you’re playing a game like that.

i didnt think of dan's blanket, i'm soft

[ratlad]

they are cuddling under the fuzzy blanket together. im legally allowed to throw anyone who disagrees with me into the sun.

u know that picture dan showed in his Living My Truth video, where he's on his laptop on the couch, under his blanket? phil took that pic and he was also resting his head on dan's lap. nobody can change my mind, especially after all of the candid bf ig stories we got on tour from them. phil takes pictures of dan when he's not looking because he! is! pretty!

Not to disagree- I believe that they spend time on that nice long couch being all cozy-
but that photo was Dan reclining in an arm chair, not the end of the couch. Phil still took the photo though

[alittledizzy]

Sometimes I just like to see what verified accounts at @ mentioning Dan and Phil... there have been a few amusing ones the last few days. The first one is re: an app to help you not kill plants.

And for some reason Dan was @ mentioned in this by his twitter handle?

[flarequake]

That last one's a bit frightening. Let's remember this person who died nearly 100 years ago and tag someone with the same name who's alive now and clearly not him?

The plant app looks amazing. I love the name. Dryp! Brilliant. Ben is cute af too.

Btw, it's Dil's birthday today It's 4 years since his creation by his (our?) enigmatic overlords. A lovely fan art:

[wiccamoody]

From lovely fanart to this lmao

[fieldoflovers]

From lovely fanart to this lmao

Might this be a hint to Things I Regret Buying? cause those videos are favourites of mine.

This has me cackling! With all due reverence to the message the tweet was meant to convey, it otherwise looks like it could have been intentionally created to troll Dan. "RIP Daniel Howell, Age 23." "Like many others, he hasn't been remembered." I hope Dan got a kick out of it.

I suspect he was mentioned because whoever wrote the tweet accidentally used "@" instead of "#" or thought that "@" worked like a hashtag for people's names. These kinds of organizations don't necessarily have people who are the most familiar with the Twitter running their account.

no umm i had a quick scroll through their twitter and they've done the exact same thing with patrick stewart, harry styles, and harry potter (@jk_rowling for that one). so i think they're hoping people are scrolling through their faves' @ mentions and find these tweets, which has clearly worked in this case. a slightly questionable social media strategy imo, even if they mean well

Okay, that's weird. My gut reaction is that that's kinda icky... I guess it's for a worthy cause?

[liola]

Since there isn't much to talk about, I present to you the new reason for my death and despair, as I cry into my hands at the loss I'm experiencing. Oh Phil, if you only had listened to your audience way, way sooner

EDIT: why does the tumblr embedding feature hates me so much?

[glitterintheair]

They better get invited to some event soon because I need to see Quiff!Phil in a suit and I won't rest 'till we do.
