????如果你想感受一下時間的無情流逝，只需想想一個簡單事實：今年是YouTube成立10周年。這家視頻網(wǎng)站始建于2005年，次年以17億美元的價格被谷歌收購。從此之后，它就成了觀看泄漏的電影預告片、可疑的天才音樂家和小動物視頻的首選之地。

????沒過多久，人們就發(fā)現(xiàn)YouTube是一個極佳的免費宣傳平臺。不過，要將數(shù)百萬的YouTube點擊數(shù)轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)橐粋€能夠賺到真金白銀的職業(yè)，則完全是另一回事。不信去問問麗貝卡?布萊克等，他們都親身體會過其中的艱難。

????盡管現(xiàn)實如此殘酷，仍有少數(shù)人打破宿命，把YouTube上積攢的超高人氣化為實實在在的事業(yè)發(fā)展推動力，名利雙收！《財富》列舉了其中的一些幸運兒，他們從電腦屏幕里脫穎而出，被人們牢牢地記在了心里。

????If you want to feel the merciless ravages of time as it has its way with you, simply ponder the fact that as of this year, YouTube is 10 years old. Founded in 2005 and sold to Google the following year for $1.7 billion, it’s been the go-to source for leaked movie trailers, musicians of dubious talent and kitten videos ever since.

????It didn’t take long for people to figure out that YouTube was a great source of free publicity, but turning millions of YouTube views into actual, paying careers is another matter entirely. Just ask Rebecca Black, or Chris Crocker,or Tay Zonday, who all found this out the hard way.

????Despite this brutal reality, a few people have beaten the odds and parlayed YouTube popularity into actual careers. With paychecks and everything! Fortunepresents a list of these lucky luminaries, who jumped out of our computer screens and into our hearts.

????鳥叔

????韓國音樂人樸載相創(chuàng)作了風靡全球的震撼單曲《江南Style》，他的藝名“鳥叔”則更為人所知。2012年7月，鳥叔發(fā)布了自己的第六張專輯《Psy 6 (Six Rules), Part 1》，《江南Style》是其中的主打歌。盡管這張專輯在韓國本土銷量出色，但它能夠成為轟動全球的神曲，還必須感謝YouTube強大的傳播力量。

????2012年11月24日，鳥叔在Twitter上宣布，《江南Style》的MV成為了YouTube歷史上被觀看最多的視頻，不到一個月后，它成為史上第一個點擊量突破10億的視頻。這首歌最終在美國Billboard歌曲榜上飆升至第二名，并成為過去幾年公司圣誕晚會上每位音樂主持人的必放曲目。鳥叔的下一張專輯預計將于今年晚些時候發(fā)布。

????Psy

????The omnipresent hit single “Gangnam Style” is the brainchild of South Korean musician Park Jae-sang, better known by his stage name, Psy. It was released in July 2012 as the lead-off single from his sixth album, “Psy 6 (Six Rules), Part 1,” and though the album did well in his native land, it became an international sensation thanks to YouTube.

????On November 24, 2012, the artist took to Twitter to announce that the video had just become the most watched video in YouTube history, and less than a month later, it became the first in history to reach one billion views. This led to the song peaking on the USBillboard charts at number two, and its presence on every DJ playlist in corporate Christmas party history in the last couple of years. Psy’s next album is expected to be released later this year.
