I make a living on YouTube playing an anime character. Here's how I built my career and what my day is like.
Briefly

Mint Fantôme is a virtual, anime-style influencer with 347,000 YouTube subscribers. The creator, who remains anonymous online, describes their character as a 19-year-old ghost. This avatar allows them to engage with fans while protecting their personal identity. Inspired by other VTubers, Mint started their journey in 2020 after learning about auditions for English-speaking creators. They emphasize that success in this field can be achieved independently, rather than relying on large corporations, reflecting a growing trend in virtual entertainment.
I play a 19-year-old ghost online. My anime-style digital avatar goes by many names: Mint, Maid Mint, or Mint Fantôme. I have 347,000 subscribers on YouTube.
This character I created allows me to have a public persona online without fully sharing my personal self. I realized you don't have to work with a huge corporation to do this work.
