Today we live in a truly unique time. Anyone can become a journalist or blogger and gain fame without graduating from universities and without working for a long time in publishing houses. To do this, it is enough to have your own channel on popular video portals, to be well versed in any topic and present it in a favorable context. Such "people's bloggers" have earned the love and respect of millions of people. And authoritative publications, channels and rating agencies began to reckon with their expert opinion.
One of these bloggers was Anton Vorotnikov, or more widely known as Anton Avtoman.
Anton Vorotnikov. Who is this?
Anton Vorotnikov was born in the city of Cheboksary back in 1986. From early childhood, the blogger was interested in cars. As a student of the Cheboksary Agricultural Academy, Anton Vorotnikov became interested in street racing and became a bright, iconic character in the city's street culture. In addition to street racing, he was involved in the organization of auto shows and everything related to cars.
Being good at racingand cars, the future blogger decided to found a small print publication Avtoman in Cheboksary. Here he was also the editor-in-chief, starting as a simple journalist. Anton Avtoman published his car reviews, expert opinions and test drives. Everything was going great until the crisis of 2008 disrupted the peaceful existence of the newspaper. Avtoman had to close. But the crisis did not unsettle Anton Vorotnikov, as one might imagine. He started reselling cars.
YouTube channel launched
As mentioned above, 2008 did not break the blogger. Avtoman (Anton Vorotnikov) decided to promote his publication on the Internet. As it turned out, this requires practically no costs and, with a favorable outcome, the audience will be much larger.
In 2010, Anton Vorotnikov started his own channel on the famous YouTube portal. From that moment on, the popular fame of a popular automotive blogger began. The first two videos were a resounding success.
In his videos, Anton Avtoman does all car tests very well, combining the professional opinion of an expert and the dynamism of shooting. He now has over 450 videos and over a million subscribers on his channel. In his videos, the blogger does not use advertising at all, that is, this is a completely independent, professional opinion with a complete overview of the pros and cons of any car.
Test drives from blogger
Anton Avtoman shoots his videos the first time, without staged filming, actors and memorized phrases. At the same time, according to available reviews, viewers like high-quality sound and video the most. This isis one of the advantages, as the viewer sees all the information, without embellishment and retouching, which adds naturalness and a sense of the presence of viewers in the video.
As mentioned above, the video does not contain advertising and was filmed without the participation of sponsors, only an independent, expert opinion. This greatly distinguishes him from other bloggers who use advertising, both covert and overt.
In these videos you can find: detailed descriptions of components and modifications of various models, without complex technical terms and abstruse proposals. For example, Anton Avtoman "Kia" tested quite interestingly, without stopping to talk about the characteristics. The whole video is in motion, and Anton masterfully does two things at the same time.
How much does a folk blogger earn?
Many people think about the question of how much famous bloggers earn. Many use advertising to promote the channel and receive roy alties from sponsored projects. But in the case of Anton Vorotnikov, things are somewhat different. A YouTube channel is more of a hobby than a job, but it also makes a lot of money.

The number of views and subscribers is growing every day, and this leads to an increase in income. According to many, this is a worthy reward for a person who gives himself completelypeople by answering their questions and not using ads.
Future plans and personal life
In addition to a popular YouTube channel, Anton Vorotnikov owns a successful advertising agency, also called Avtoman, that he created with car resale money during the 2008 crisis. This is the blogger's main income.
Anton Avtoman connects his future, as before, with cars. Now he is actively developing social networks, where you can communicate with him interactively. In addition, he is engaged in automobile exhibitions, shows and other activities related to the automotive industry.
