How I Got Started Working On YouTube!

2018-02-16
alright what's up for many of you folks out there who follow me you know that I've been a youtuber for quite a few years now almost 10 in total start off first over at motherboards org then we switched over to TECA tomorrow but some of you may wonder how did I actually get to be youtuber what roads did I take that made me finally go okay I'd like to be a youtuber well it's kind of a long story years and years and years ago motherboards dog was honestly the very first og website for technology predate Symantec it predates Tom's Hardware predates excuse me Tom's Hardware it was the og site it wasn't ran by me it was ran by another guy and it ran for like about I think about four or five years and I was working at this company called Aberdeen and this guy named Patrick gillaspie and the owner decided that they were going to buy this website and so they bought the website and I was working there as a salesman selling computers and building computers and I saw they got a website and I was like hey I've always wanted to be a writer and write about computer technology so I went home I started messing with stuff and I started overclocking stuff and nobody was really doing this at the time at all I was overclocking I think there probably was one or two other guys after I don't know which one of us actually did it first so I can't say that it completely invented overclocking but I know I was one of the very first people if not the first person to do a lot of overclocking because we were doing it on computers way before they had the pcs today back kind of migas and stuff like that we were messing with them there were ways to change the way you did things so I started writing for the site and motherboards out or grew into a giant site we were one of the biggest tech channels for many many many years well the writing thing started to change obviously because you know the birth of the internet and all the people wanting to now do this YouTube and video things change the way things were done so even though I was writing for them the company kind of started going a little bit downhill so then motherboards org there's a whole Michael fiasco if you guys want to see a video about that you can see it you can check it out and go look for yourself I'm not going to get into that part but we basically lost that and then I didn't know really what to do with that so John a friend of mine Jonathan Morrison you guys know him from TLDs a big-time youtube star well for a long time he worked for me he was my producer he was writing music with me like we were going to the gym together we were just doing a whole lot of stuff together he was actually the person that pushed me into doing YouTube him and a friend of his Josh Kenton already had a site up that was called live love music it was a really nice site for learning music and all that kind of stuff but for some reason it just wasn't like doing financially well and was just taking up their time so I finally said okay I'll give in John I'll start doing YouTube you know cuz he was like hey YouTube's going to be the future so do YouTube so I started doing YouTube videos and trying to do this kind of stuff now as I got sick and everything and kind of going downhill John wanted to go and do his own thing which he finally went in did you guys know his channel TLD is one of the absolute best channels that there is on YouTube he takes a lot of tension to detail I mean he loves cameras and all that stuff more than just about anybody else that I know on the planet so in honesty I didn't really start out ever thinking that I would be a youtuber I really never did when I was a child I did a lot of different commercials I acted I acted all the way up until square pegs so I've done a lot of different stuff as an actor when I was a child but I never really considered going back and doing it as an adult I was more into playing with my bands and trying to do that type of stuff than I ever was and trying to go back and be an actor and I got to tell you YouTube can be very very fine although it does seem now that you're either the giant site or you're a small site there's not really much in between what's going on right now it's almost kind of like the same thing that's going on with the class so you know the middle class is kind of getting squeezed out you're gonna have the rich or the poor so if you're out there and you've ever really wondered hey Elric how did you ever get to be a youtuber well honestly I probably would have never been a youtuber if it wasn't for Jonathan Morrison because he pushed me into doing it I really didn't even want to do it as you guys see it's been moderately successful for me I have a lot of fun doing it gyah like said I like it the dog UI was he wants to be on camera it's really weird whenever we start filming a video this guy is just like on me it's just weird it's like almost when I open a cheese repre now this guy can be upstairs in a bedroom and open a cheese repre knees downstairs like in an instant like how does he do it I just don't know but that's it folks I just wanted to give you guys a little quick video about how I ever became a YouTube in the road I took so I basically man I started out as a writer I wrote for a lot of different magazine back in the day for pc magazine pc enthusiast magazine i have stacks the stacks of magazines where I actually wrote for magazines that were in Turkey and people translated my English and a Turkish so writing was my thing but it was magazine writing but then I switch to the Internet and then that led to filming YouTube videos so I love all you guys I thank you guys for all your support you guys have always been wonderful so we'll see you guys back in them for more tech just thought I'd bring you guys some personal videos so peace see you later
