YOUTUBE - What's the key to a successful channel?


You know, being a YouTuber is a dream job. Think about it. You wake up at whatever time you want. If you're a vlogger, you immediately start recording. You record your breakfast, your outfit for the day, your meetup with other YouTubers... You attend an event at night, that's where you get your clickbait title from... And you post it at night, and if you have a large enough following, you make some decent, daily income from it. Especially if you like the content you're creating.


From personal experience, the most important thing is how often you upload. That's exactly why the most persistent ones make it. For example, YouTube tech reviewer MKBHD said that he started uploading his (very poorly made) tech videos when he was about 14, just so he could have them stored somewhere. He now has over 6 milion subscribers, and is probably the number 1 tech reviewer in this world, with the most influence on new products coming out.


As you can see, everyone has to start somewhere. And no one should be afraid of being bad at the beginning. Your video editing skills will become better as time goes by, your confidence in front of a camera will grow, and your jokes will become funnier. It's a proccess.


However, there are instances where conent quality and clickbait titles have worked just fine to gain popularity on YouTube. The only thing is, that "popularity" is just temporary.

So, there was this guy called "Creatyler". He posted just one video on his channel, where he claimed he was a college dropout and a very success young entrepreneur and that he needed more people to come and work with him. The production value in that video was crazy - drone shots, beaches, expensive houses with pools, girls walking around in bikinis... You could see that he put a lot of effort in it. He gained 120 000 subscribers just from that video alone. However, turns out that his "business" was one huge scam... The people who applied had to pay monthly fee to "be in his team", and that fee just kept renewing every upcoming month. And all the promises he made in the video - Daily vlogs, exciting projects, trips... That never happened. (Well, the trips may have happened, but the videos stopped after 2 weeks...)

The point is, work hard and be humble... Keep your head down and make videos every single day until you start getting noticed. All that "quick success" will come fast and go fast. YouTube has an algorithm where after you upload a certain number of videos per month, they start showing your videos in the related videos column more. Also, they start ranking your videos higher in the search results, based on how often you upload and how high-quality your videos are. One way or another, keep uploading.

Here's why you should at least TRY having an online business

I won't start talking about how good it is to work from home, just because it isn't ideal for everyone, and there is no point in making someone believe it. However, what I wanna focus on is the fact that there are no rules when it comes to online success, and that can be a good thing. Yesterday, I was listening to some Pink Floyd, it was the most viewed video of Comfortably Numb. Funny enough, it was uploaded by a random fan, and it has 28 million views. It was his only video, and he stated that he didn't want anyone to subscribe just because he wasn't going to upload any more songs or anything on the channel. But of course, with 28 million views... that is impossible to avoid, and right at this second, his channel is sitting on 88 000 subscribers. And I thought to myself: "Damn, that is crazy! He could be making a living from these kind of numbers if he continued making non-copyrighted videos." All I'm trying to say is - some blogs or businesse...

Is ROCK Dead?

Queensyrsche's guitar player said "Rock's pretty much dead" in an interview with Ultimate Guitar a few years ago. The comment secton was filled with hate, probably because everyone who plays guitar doesn't wanna believe it, or maybe they are not visionaries like Steve Jobs, or they just don't really listen to the radio or go out on weekends. I mean, seriously, just turn on the radio. What will you hear? Fall Out Boy (who don't even have guitar sound at this point). Royal Blood. New Metallic a. Greeta Van Fleet (a Led Zeppelin cover band in terms of their sound...) I mean, don't get me wrong. I love almost all of these, and Metallica is still kicking ass. Foo Fighters are still kicking ass (and that new music video shows it!) real time. But they belong to the old school of rock, and have probably continued making music in order to pay their bills. New modern metal bands are still there, and surprisingly coming really quick to the scene (Fear...

Love ART? Well, check THIS out.

M.C. Escher was a dutch graphic artist, most known for his unique black and white drawings and playing with different perspectives (as you can see in the first example). He is the one that made optical illusions and "impossible scenes" popular both among citizens, art or even math teachers. And boy, those drawings are spectacular... " He played with architecture, perspective and impossible spaces. His art continues to amaze and wonder millions of people all over the world. In his work we recognize his keen observation of the world around us and the expressions of his own fantasies. M.C. Escher shows us that reality is wondrous, comprehensible and fascinating." Here are some of his most known drawings. Enjoy. M.C. Escher was
