Shane has been a Youtube partner for years so his main source of income is ad revenue from his channels. He's well known for playing characters that he created himself including; shanaynay, s-deezy, paris, ned, fruit lupe, etc. All these characters have their own personalities, specific clothes, looks and voices. These characters are usually featured in Shane's main channel sketch videos. Many of these characters can also be featured on shirts and other merchandise which are sold both online and in stores.

Opinion Time: Shane Dawson is one of the first Youtuber's I'd ever seen. He is hard working and very talented as a comedian and content creator. I do think however anyone who watches him should be a teenager because his content can be very innapropriate. I think he can go far as an character actor, director and comedian if he keeps doing what he's doing right now as one of the most famous Youtuber's in the past and right now and gets his tv show on the air. I think Shane has a talent of writing cute, fun little songs and even though his singing may not always be on par it is far from bad music. He's made many videos pertaining to different problems that viewers have had and he's very authentic with his feelings and emotions when it comes to these touch subjects having been through a few of them himself. He's always come off as caring and I really admire that about him.
