I want to start of by saying,
I think most people become a creator on YouTube for a specific reason. Wether it be for the big reasons like making it big for money or personal reasons like expanding and sharing your creativity with the world.
I want to here, not only, everyone's stories on why they joined YouTube and became a creator, but also how YouTube has helped you in your life!
Do not be afraid to go into detail!
Here is my reasoning:
Like most, I've always loved gaming! It was a fun way to let of steam and connect with people around the world, aiming at a particular goal. As a teenager this was the golden ticket for me because I wasn't exactly popular throughout my school life. I say school life because that's how it was; I lived two different lives. The life I preferred was on my PS3 having fun and being awesome, yet anonymous.
I had a dry spout where I stopped gaming for a few months (6 or so) and then I decided to join the army hahahah. What a plot twist that was right? Turns out, as most would guess, the army is a really stressful place when you first enter. Basic training was the most stressful thing I'd done in my life. I couldn't have contact with anyone (no phones), I couldn't eat fun tasty things, I couldn't even sleep the hours I wanted to. To be fair that was all expected. Nevertheless it was a huge change for me. When I got out of basic I was always hanging on a thin wire, stressing over the littlest things. Then I started to game again. Nothing major but a few apps here and there were sufficient. I started loosening up a bit and saw my self getting happier. At the same time though, I was still stressed. As I'm new to the whole iOS gaming platform, most games were beaten within the day or week. Boredom set in extremely quickly.
Then I found some longer apps. Storylines were great and I was excited to play them! However, I would always find myself sharing what I found cool to my roommate (who never cared, and it was obvious). I figured I'd give something else a shot. Record some videos with an app I just found and post it on YouTube! This way my mom could see them and my friends could! One of my closest friends back home that I hadn't seen in nearly four months messaged me on Facebook and said "your video was actually kind of funny! Hahaha ever think about trying to make YouTube videos for everyone instead of just your mom?". (Copied that word for word)
I replied back saying the thought hadn't crossed my mind but I'd think about it.
A couple hours of research and set up later, POOF! My channel was made! Long story short (ironic, I know), i have been posting for nearly a week and i have to say it has been a huge stress reliever. I feel like I can express myself as myself; show the real side of me. It's really awesome.
I'm done opening up now, another hour will cost ya
Remember to go into detail!!
