Hints
Combos
A mix of Genre and Type.
Picking the right Genre and Type together is very important! If they mix poorly you get less money from your sponsors.
They say if you find the 15 Best Combinations, something good will happen.
Show Times
Time is always important.
The Time Slot you pick to show your video is important. If it's a bad time for that Genre it will get low views, and you will be paid less!
You can always use the History Icon 
to see your combo, and if that time slot worked!
Actors
Choose your talent wisely.
Actors have a Genre and Type they are good at. They will provide bonus cash when you make videos that match them.
Training an actor gives a higher bonus, but also increases their wages!
