Frankie Jun Calinao owns and operates www.yualexius.com – a site where he shares his thoughts and recommendations about Japanese and Chinese animation. Spreading the word and appreciation towards subjects and hobbies that he feels passionate about and in some ways helping Asian animation, has been his goal.

Frankie started Yu Alexius Anime Blog in 2015 as a passion project. It’s been 6 years since then and he’s quite surprised that his passion and hobby has eventually become one of his sources of income.

From roughly having 21,000 to 30,000 visits a month in 2020, his traffic increased significantly, now it’s around 150,000 to 200,000 monthly visitors. From earning $20-$40/month in 2020, Frankie was able to gradually increase his monthly revenue in 2021 to around $200-$300/month. Last November, he was invited to premium and got his highest monthly revenue at over $600.
