audience. The video quality is ex-
cellent, covering trending topics
and remaining consistent with
their uploads. They are also very
creative, always coming up with
new ways to get their message
out, such as their science songs
and adding motion graphic
animations. They also made a
video featuring Bill Nye, the Sci-
ence Guy.
They keep their original goal
the same — to share their passion
for science with the world. With
nearly 10 million subscribers, they
have made quite an impact on
YouTube.


HOW DO THEY MAKE
MONEY?
Mitchell and Gregory work
on their YouTube channel full
time, and they make an income
with generic preroll ads that
pay based on the percentage of
views they get. They also part-
ner with companies like GE and
the Bill Gates Foundation, who
sponsor their videos. In 2015,
they wrote a book titled “Asap-
SCIENCE. Answer the World’s
Weirdest Questions, Most
Persistent Rumors, and Unex-
plained Phenomena.” This book
became a New York Times best-
seller, which sold over 100,000
copies. The revenue they make
allowed them to expand their
YouTube business and assemble
a team of six people, including
a researcher, illustrator, editor
and digital manager.

REPRESENTING THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY
Mitchell and Gregory are a gay couple and are quite
familiar with negative comments and prejudice by
people who disagree with their way of life. How-
ever, they proudly represent who they are to the
world and keep sharing their message with compas-
sion and charisma. They’re great role models for
the LGBTQ+ community, and they don’t shy away
from discussing necessary topics, even if it makes
their audience uncomfortable or angry. They are
educators and a loving couple that want to inspire
the world to become a better place. They talk more
about these topics in their podcast “Sidenote.”

SHARE YOUR PASSIONS WITH THE
WORLD
If you have a passion for something, don’t be afraid
to share it with the world. Look for inspiration from
the guys from AsapSCIENCE and go for it.
