Cameo is a website where one can pay celebrities to say | Cameo is a website where one can pay celebrities to say a custom message, advertised as birthday wishes, congratulatory messages and the like, though it can technically be anything the celebrity agrees to say. The average price for one of these videos ranges from around $5 to $10, though more famous celebrities may charge more. After Daniel’s enemies [[Michael Quinn]] and [[World Of T-Shirts|Joshua Block]] created pages, members of [[R/Daniellarson]] began encouraging Daniel to make one as well, many claiming that doing so would make him a lot of money. | ||

On June 16, 2023, Daniel raised the price to $50. In regards to this, he posted on his YouTube community page, "I just had to update the minimum amount for cameos because most have been complete nonsense."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf9YOmiapwewD1rh_GNIFTQ/community?lb=UgkxeqBOtoVIgMBUwln9QggMYOU1JC-Z5oCM</ref> | On June 16, 2023, Daniel raised the price to $50.

In another post to his YouTube community page, Daniel wrote, "I just had to change the price of the cameos due to the current situation and legal crap."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCf9YOmiapwewD1rh_GNIFTQ/community?lb=Ugkx5x7oPPeb69IMWsaYne2q-QJCOcXEohYN</ref> To go along with the cost of the Cameo itself, there is also a $99 booking fee, thus bringing the total cost of a Cameo to almost $600. Later on that same day, Daniel raised the price of a single Cameo to $830. When taking into consideration the $99 booking fee, it would cost one ''almost a thousand dollars'' for a Cameo from Daniel. The price of a single Cameo from Daniel raised and lowered several more times throughout the day, at one point reaching a maximum of $1,069,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/14cypn1/is_he_insane/</ref> before lowering again to $900. Adding the booking fee, $999 to book a video.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/14cwwrm/what_the_fuck_are_these_prices/</ref> | ||
The next day, on June 19, the price was brought back down to $50, though it was then followed by an increase to $100. The number of reviews, currently 42, still has not changed since he started rapidly changing his pricing. However, this does not necessarily mean that he has not sold a single Cameo since. | The next day, on June 19, the price was brought back down to $50, though it was then followed by an increase to $100.

Daniel has actually made a significant amount of money on it. | Daniel has actually made a significant amount of money on it. As of July 12, 2023, there are 96 current verified reviews. Given the significant price fluctuations, an assumption that everyone paid $30 and that all customers had left a review may be unrealistic. Using these assumptions, one can assume that Daniel has made at least $1,260 on videos alone. Taking into consideration the $3 messages, along with the assumption that not everyone that bought a cameo left a review, Daniel has probably made well over $1,300 in Cameo sales, although this figure is mere speculation. | ||
