YouTube

We all know what YouTube is. A place to watch stupid cat videos. But for some people, it's like a television replacement. At least, that's what it is for me. I'm a huge fan of some big "youtubers," such as Smosh, Shane Dawson, Ryan Higa, etc. Then there are the "vloggers." Joey Graceffa, Connor Franta, Jc Caylen, (pretty much everyone from Our2ndLife). To me, YouTube is just a big community of people that watch other people live their daily lives. And I will admit, I want to be a part of it.
In all honesty, I think being a YouTuber would be so much fun. It looks like they're a tight knit community and they have a lot of fun together. So I've decided, I'm going to start making videos. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but I know I want to get big and move to LA one day. The only problem is, once I'm on camera, I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO SAY. I'm sure a lot of people start out this way and they eventually get used to it. Like anything else, you're not going to be good at something as soon as you start. You have to work at it for a while before you can really get good at something. The hard part is finding that thing you want to get really good at.
I've done a lot of things and it's about time I started something new. I spend a lot of time on the computer and on my phone, I might as well do something productive with it. YouTube would be a really good opportunity to do something good and possibly leave some type of legacy. People might actually know who I am. I might actually make some friends. And I could also make some money. The way I see it, YouTube is just a big networking company, which I have experience in. If you've ever heard of Michael Dell's Three C's, you'll know exactly what I'm about to talk about. For those of you that don't know; Content, Commerce, Community. For most companies, the community part is difficult. But with YouTube, it seems to me that content would be the most difficult. Although, people are easily amused. 
People tell me I'm funny all the time. And I know I have a lot on my mind, that's why I started this blog. I feel that people would me more interested if I did videos instead of blogging because not many people read anymore. I won't stop blogging, but I will start linking my videos and blogs with each other. When I get the channel up and running, I'll add a link to this post. Until then, enjoy this picture of a zebra showing a lion who's boss:)
