What I love about YouTube is that you don’t need brands to pay you, because you get paid off the views. When I put effort into YouTube, I directly see money back.
Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have sparked a booming industry of so-called influencers – people with large-scale followings who are paid considerable sums by large companies to tout their products or ideas.
I’m not exactly watching my back. Most people, there’s a twinkle when they admonish me. And I’ve watched a lot of footage on YouTube of people’s reactions to watching me.
I have been watching Youtube makeup tutorials since I was born. I did my own prom makeup and used to do peoples’ makeup in high school for money.
I’m so fascinated by YouTube culture. I have no idea how it’s working, but more and more people are becoming Internet famous, and it is because it allows you to have an atmosphere in which you feel comfortable to be yourself, which you might not get otherwise.
I do YouTube my cars a lot.
I think doing research is probably the most valuable thing you can do for any career you’re interested in pursuing, and not just a career on YouTube or in media. Really take a look at people whose careers you admire and learning from their successes, but also their mistakes.
When someone praises me for some speech uploaded on YouTube, I politely tell them I’ve been acting for many years.
I was able to turn to classical music many people, who saw my programs live and on YouTube, and this is one of the nicest achievements I can have.
YouTube’s audience is very specific. They are ready for great content. But you have to engage with the audience in a very direct fashion.
We live in a world where everybody’s an expert. Everybody’s doing a YouTube video. Everyone’s doing a tutorial of what needs to happen.
First of all, Marty Foster is a really good fellow. No. 2, Google or YouTube the time he called Ben Zobrist out on a strike three against Joe Nathan couple years ago that gave Joe Nathan his 300th save.
I love to get music sent as an MP3 attachment because that way I can preview the song in my e-mail, without even having to download it to my iTunes. I prefer that over having to go to MySpace, Facebook or YouTube.
I write every day. Most weekdays, I write about ten hours a day. That doesn’t mean eight hours of surfing the Net or watching videos on YouTube. I park my butt in a chair and write… I learned that writer’s block is a myth created by people who don’t have, or understand, a writing process.
I was surprised to know I had so many hits on YouTube.
Well, I have to say, I used to spend a lot of time looking at cat videos on the internet. It’s like YouTube have sent me an e-mail asking if I’m alright because I haven’t been on in ages.
There’s no longevity on YouTube. You have to keep pushing boundaries.
I was doing some YouTube covers, and I had a decently popular blog on Tumblr.
Anyone who does social media, YouTube, Internet content will tell you it can be extremely isolating.
It’s insanely difficult to ask an audience to go somewhere other than YouTube to watch videos.
Even in the days of early YouTube, we always focused on narratives, and we always focused on franchises. We didn’t do a lot of vlogging and stuff like that.
The problem with YouTube is if I want to watch something serious, I can click on it, but in two seconds, I’m also going to be greeted with some video about some guy surprising his kid with a baby cat.
I’ve always been obsessed with bad, awkward television and bad public access. Before YouTube, it was a treat coming across that stuff. When I moved to New York, I used to love watching public access late at night.
The U.S. government is saying that my website enabled piracy when the entire Internet is enabling piracy. Every ISP that connects people to the Internet is enabling piracy – Google is, YouTube is, everybody is.
YouTube is a good way to discover new music now because it comes up with that thing at the side with other artists you might like.
When I visited YouTube headquarters, they told me that Delhi searches me the most on YouTube.
I love watching YouTube makeup tutorials of girls who are so brave and show others how to blend in foundation on blemish-prone skin. I’ve considered creating my own YouTube tutorial for other girls just to show that everyone has these problems.
Unfortunately, I think YouTube is going down the route of rewarding the select few around content creation, be it with partnerships or with ways of funding original content.
YouTube, for me, is the primary platform.
I never intended or planned on making a YouTube Channel. I always thought that it was meant for Bollywood movies, trailers, and songs.
Seeing so many comments on our YouTube channel from people all over the world, even if they don’t understand Japanese, made me realize that music has worldwide appeal.
Mitt Romney speaking to a $50,000-a-plate Republican fundraiser says he doesn’t have to worry about the 47 per cent of Americans who don’t pay tax. He was not counting on the smart phone recording his speech and then posting it on YouTube.
In making YouTube videos, you can’t just be an actor, you have to also know the shots and how to write.
I always watched Kimbo Slice fight on YouTube, everybody knows who he is. He’s very popular.
I first went on YouTube aged 15, and people were saying, ‘Why not do this cover?’ Then they wanted to hear my own stuff live, and it escalated from there. Selena Gomez’s parents found my videos and manage me to this day.
The Internet is far more engaging as an interactive medium than broadcast. Barriers to creating content are going away; they’re almost gone. People are taking control of their entertainment. People are Tweeting, posting on Facebook and YouTube.
In YouTube’s early days, my band Pomplamoose was making a living by releasing videos on it, which drove iTunes sales. And because YouTube was small enough, our videos would bubble to the top and new fans could discover us.
The best way for me to discover new music is through YouTube, and through my readers emailing me stuff.
Google has placed its faith in data, while Apple worships the power of design. This dichotomy made the two companies complementary. Apple would ship the phones and computers, while Google would provide Maps, Search, YouTube, and other web tools that made the devices more useful.
It all started with social media, building a fan base via Tumblr and YouTube, doing covers, and releasing a project with original music. Labels started to peel interest then. It was around the same time I was applying for college.
I know one of the reasons I first started making Youtube videos was because no one looks like me.
When we are thinking about stuff like embeds, we are not thinking about how we are competing with YouTube. We are thinking about how are we going to make it more useful for people to share stuff on Facebook.
I was putting songs on Facebook and YouTube just for my friends. When one got over 100 plays, I would do a dance. The first time someone that I didn’t know commented, it was a dream come true. A year and a half later, I played ‘Fallon.’
YouTube is an amazing platform for young musicians – although it’s harder to get noticed now that everyone is on it.
A journalist in Toronto named Shannon Boodram saw my Facebook page and told me I was ‘strikingly beautiful.’ She shot a YouTube video of me, and it made a hit, grabbing thousands of views. She said the camera loved me and that I should be a model. I had never thought about modeling – it just hadn’t seemed possible.
YouTube is, at the end of the day, a search engine… that’s why Google bought it.
We spent zero dollars on advertising. We just had a YouTube video and that was it. We did a quarter million dollars in revenue, just in three weeks.
People forget that YouTube is the second-largest search site on the Web. It just tells you the power of how many people live on YouTube.
I ended up having my first girlfriend when I was 13, and she was obsessed with Justin Bieber. I remember watching the ‘Baby’ music video and being so jealous of him. So I posted a cover of ‘One Time’ on YouTube, and she loved it.
YouTube clips get millions, billions of hits. Reality TV programs have their own channels. How can movies attempt to compete with these kinds of numbers? And do we even need to? Are we scaring ourselves by unnecessary comparisons, by not comparing apples with apples?
At the beginning, there was this competitive vibe, like, ‘Oh, we’ve got to compete for this audience.’ But then, over the next few years afterwards, everyone on YouTube realized the more we work together, the more we collaborate, it just benefits everyone. It just became a really friendly community.
In today’s YouTube world, are officers reluctant to get out of their cars and do the work that controls violent crime? Are officers answering 911 calls but avoiding the informal contact that keeps bad guys from standing around, especially with guns?
I started making videos to post just for my friends to see, and people really liked them. One day, I realized they had a couple thousand views on YouTube – I hadn’t even known other people were watching them.
I knew I wanted to sing and maybe I had a chance at it, so I just started recording myself maybe five or six times a week and putting them on YouTube as much as I could with hopes that someone would recognize me.
