Follow Up: Man Kicked To The Head While on Train Tracks Poised to Profit

Looks like all it takes to make it in the world is a good kick to the head.

So Jared Frank, the 22 year old Regina, Saskatchewan man who's attracted over 23 million YouTube views (and counting) of his bizarre viral video could be set to make some big bucks. Frank was in Peru, taking selfie shots on a local train track when he is unexpectedly kicked to the head by a man standing at the front of a passing train. Not sure what exactly he was going for here but it seems to have worked.

When you attract that sort of media interest then the advertisers are bound to come calling...

"I got all these different offers ... and they were all legit.," he told CBC News recently, adding it would be great to pay for his trip to South America.

On Monday, after confirming he had agreed to work with a California-based representative called Jukin Media, Frank said he was told his video could earn in the range of $2 to $16 per 1,000 views and he would get a 70 per cent share. Precise details will not be known until YouTube releases its regular mid-month report on view tallies.

 

Here's the video..

This video has helped Frank gain over 6,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel. Is this really all it takes? Maybe someone should come and punch me in the face while I'm on the air someday.
