Question for All Youtubers, What make you join Youtube ?

1st, what make you decide to join youtube and why ?
When I see ordinary people singing, mom and pops, grandpas and granpas and doing covers of songs they sing and singing with pure emotion and soul, that is truly inspiring so I said to myself, why not do it also.

When I was in highschool in 1976 to 80, I asked my mom for an electric guitar for graduation and so she gave me one together with a vacuum tube amplifier and my home rocks day and night until I p****d off some neigbors due to the loud volume of the sound. College came and then I become a working man and suddenly my interest dropped, I hardly get my guitar and play occasionally same songs and nothing new until a couple of years back I saw a kid on youtube a 7 year old kid named Sungha Jung from Korea but I think he's 17 now and very popular on youtuebe, playing a fingerstyle on more than words and my jaw dropped. I was shocked and awed and told myself if I did not stop playing or if I continue playing then I might be as good or even better than this kid. My interest arouse again and purchase some gear and made a commitment to myself that I will be holding on to my guitar for dear life. And as part of my commitment, I render my videos on youtube and is number 1 priority on my bucket list for life. My videos aren't perfect but I watch each one in details capture any small mistakes and learn from it and then upload a better video the next time around, so much things to learn and hope as time passed by, my playing and singing will improve.

It is my hope that I also likewise entertain the viewers and my small list of subscribers on the music I post on my channel. Will be rendering a couple of covers this Sunday as this is the only free time of my daughter kay who do the recording and likewise will share it to this forum as well.

Thank you for reading and hope everyone have a great day ahead of you. Rolly

2nd, and what do you want to achieve ?
around 250 videos on my channel.
 
I originally made my account so I could create favorites and playlists and comment on some videos.

Eventually, though, when I found the Vlogbrothers in 2007 with their Brotherhood2.0 which they had just started at the time, it made me seriously consider getting into vlogging. It wasn't until the 5AGuys and 5AGirls did I start to make vlogs of my own though. :)

What I want to achieve? Friendships, mainly. And a way to document my life. :)
 
- I love Visual Effects, but I don't want to work in Cinema or TV in the end because it doesn't thrill me to work for 6 months on a 10 seconds shot in a major movie. Just not my thing. Also I have a love for Web content and YouTube in general. This is the website who taugh me english !

- A sustainable career, ergo living off YouTube, ergo awesomeness.
 
1. I joined YouTube because I saw famous YouTubers like Shane Dawnson and others and decided I wanted to make my own show! So after Christmas 2008 I saved up my money and bought my own camera! Then within a few months my show Marc978FunnyVideos permired on March 16th 2009

2. My goal that I wanted to achieve was just to build a fanbase and I'm happy to say I've done that and accomplished all that i wanted too on Y0uTube
 
I joined YouTube because I wanted to be like Smosh, I had the honor to met Anthony in 2010 at VidCon, and that is when I knew YouTube is what I really wanted to do.

My goal is to be famous, like 1/1000 people know me :)
 
I joined when Pokemon Pearl came out and was super popular on youtube back in 2008 and started making pokemon videos I was obsessed :p
Not too sure what I want to achieve
 
at first i never had a specific purpose for joining youtube (this was long before i started making film reviews)
and i guess my long term goal for my channel & reviews is to become big and be noticed and be as cool as Jeremy Jahns XD
 
I started my channel for a few reasons. One of them was selfish - I wanted to work on my confidence and presentation skills, especially in front of the camera.

And some of the other reasons
- to create an extension of my health/fitness blog
- answer FAQs
- get an easy way out of writing up a blog post ;)
- to get myself 'out there' for good career opportunities

I'm sure there are more, I just can't think of them right now :)
