I make a living on YouTube playing an anime character. Here's how I built my career and what my day is like.
- Mint Fantôme is a virtual influencer with 347,000 YouTube subscribers, appearing as a digital avatar online.
- The creator behind Mint took an untraditional pathway into the entertainment industry and remains anonymous.
- Playing a 19-year-old ghost online, Mint livestreams chatting, singing, and playing video games as a full-time career.
- Being a VTuber allows the creator to have a public persona without fully sharing personal identity.
- Discovering virtual YouTubers years ago, Mint was inspired to start independently after auditions with Hololive.
- Most income comes from YouTube donations, merchandise sales, and brand sponsorships, with the VTuber industry expanding.
- On an average day, Mint streams for 2-4 hours, uses programs like VTube Studio, and creates graphics and thumbnails.
- The creator logs off by engaging in personal hobbies like anime and Japanese culture on Instagram and TikTok.
- Being a VTuber helped the shy creator overcome social anxieties and come out of their comfort zone while staying anonymous.
- Partaking in live events and collaborations, Mint aims to continue growing in the virtual influencer space.
