Young entrepreneurs are increasingly turning social media audiences into full-scale businesses, using digital content to build subscription communities, marketing firms and investment portfolios instead of relying on a single source of income.

Dumoulin said his strategy is built around creating a business that generates value in several different ways instead of relying solely on advertising revenue.
"So what we did is we looked at our core business of having one of the biggest business media channels in the entire world... What are all the different ways that we can make money off this thing?" Dumoulin said.
