[Mr/Green]

Invest in the 6th most influential person in the world!! YouTube star Markiplier!!! (12.8 million followers)
(According to Variety magazine, http://variety.com/2015/digital/news/youtubers-teen-survey-ksi-pewdiepie-1201544882/ )


I'm sure you're wondering why?

For an example, YouTube star PewDiePie's This "Book Loves You" is a parody of self-help books, released on 20 October 2015 by Penguin Group. This Book Loves You became a New York Times Bestseller and remained on the list for a week. ( http://www.nytimes.com/…/20…/young-adult-paperback/list.html)

Unfortunately it's a privately held company otherwise it would have made for a great investment opportunity! ( http://www.outerminds.com/About )



For an example 2, let's look at Ipsy.com, the box subscription service co-founded by YouTube star Michelle Phan (8.5 million followers). Ipsy reportedly generates more than $150 million in annual revenues. ( http://recode.net/2014/10/27/michelle-phan-youtube-star-to-startup-founder/ )



Unfortunately this one too is a privately held company otherwise it would have made for a great investment opportunity!

Fortunately for us Markiplier has not done this yet!

BUT I believe the groundwork is being laid for for him to capitalize on his popularity even at this very moment.


Now let's take a LOOK at Markiplier (12.8 million followers)


Mark Fischbach (Markiplier) joined the board of comic book publisher Red Giant Entertainment in November 2014.

In my personal opinion there's a heck of an opportunity here presenting itself! What do you think??

I also believe this is just the beginning, there's a lot more in the pipeline, take a look at this.


For an example 3, On 24 September 2015, YouTube star PewDiePie released his long-awaited video game PewDiePie: Legend of the Brofist and became the top-grossing paid game in the United States, in less than two hours after its release. The game is developed by Canadian game developer Outerminds in collaboration with Kjellberg (PewDiePie) himself.

Yet another missed opportunity, this one too a privately held company otherwise it would have made for a great investment!

For an example 4, Smosh: The Movie is a 2015 American comedy film (which also contains some science fiction material) directed by Alex Winter, and distributed by 20th Century Fox in the U.S./Canada and by Lionsgate Internationally. The film stars the YouTube comedy duo Smosh (which consists of Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox) as well as appearances from other YouTube stars, such as Jenna Marbles, Grace Helbig, Markiplier, and Harley Morenstein. This is Smosh's first theatrical film, and revolves around Smosh going inside YouTube virtually to alter a clip that will ruin Anthony's chances of winning over his crush, Anna.

REDG Potential Revenues



PowFolio Projected Revenues

How to Calculate Ad Revenue Per Download

Step 1
Calculate ad impressions per 100,000 users who download an app, test and discard it. A Stanford Venture Lab presentation notes that 85 percent of 100,000 users install the app and then delete it after about five minutes of use. About 95 percent of these have an Internet connection needed to download ads. Multiply 0.85 by 0.95 by 100,000 to determine the number of users per 100,000 who download apps with ads and then delete them. This equals 80,750. Divide five minutes by 30 seconds to find ad impressions, which equals 10. Multiply 10 by 80,750 users to find total impressions. This equals 807,500.

Step 2
Calculate ad impressions per 100,000 users who download an app and retain it. The Stanford Venture Lab presentation notes that 15 percent of 100,000 users install the app and retain it. Ninety-five percent of these have Internet access. Multiply 100,000 by 0.15 by 0.95 to find the number of users with Internet access who retain the ad, which equals 14,250 users. The lab also notes that users who retain apps use them for about 10 minutes a day (this information is based on games not a reader app so you can practically double this) for 21 days. Multiply 10 times 21 to find total minutes, which equals 210. Each ad lasts 30 seconds, so multiply 210 minutes times two to find total ads, which equals 420 ads per user. Multiply by 14,250 to find total ad impressions per 100,000 users who retain downloaded apps with ads. This equals 5,985,000.

Step 3
Calculate revenue per 100,000 users. Add 807,500, the number of ad impressions by users who don't retain the app, and 5,985,000, the number of ad impressions by users who do. This equals 6,792,500. Use Stanford Venture Lab's average revenue estimate of $3 per 1,000 add impressions: 6,792,500 impressions divided by 1,000 times = 6,792.5 X $3 equals $20,377.50 mobile ad revenue per 100,000 app Download's.
(Remember we expect them to be on it lot longer than 10 minutes so it could even be as high as $45,000.00)

This is just the base and does not include subscription or up-sells

So with just a mere five million download this product can generate $2,250,000 in a very small window of its launch date!
