I grew up with high hopes to play in the NFL, i had the heart but didn't have the height or speed. Then I got into making beats but for 10 years of doing it I have little to show for it. I hate having a normal job with no real stimulation when i have these dreams i set so high for myself to achieve. So I make videos on YouTube because I hit a huge depression similar to the one I had in high school maybe worst and needed a spark to get out of it. Also because I find enjoyment in entertaining and video game since a little kid. Youtube ties 3 things i love doing in one and helps me with my anxiety, just made sense to start. Dont know what I would've done if I didn't start doing gameplays, I'm thankful for the inspiration that brought me to it.
 
I had a youtube channel when I was younger that had a million views but I deleted because I didn't like my audience. I had one of the largest German military marching channels on youtube at the time but decided to get back because I love youtube as an outlet and I love history of the second world war. I wasn't going to let that bad experience take that away and it is already showing with my new audience.
 
Right now we're just building up a little base of folk who like listening in to our conversations. Finding like minded people is always cool and the idea of being able to share ideas in a format like a podcast of something is really cool so maybe to do that. To share our thoughts with all the lovely people on youtube

always aim high.
 
I've been putting off doing it for awhile. Then finally, my husband decided that we should finally give it a go. We gave it a go and now we have a lot of fun doing it. I've been depressed for awhile, and I've always had social anxiety. I actually find that doing YouTube has helped both. It gives me purpose and things to look forward too. It makes me productive. It's something my husband and I can enjoy doing together. I like coming up with ideas and creating things.
I thought I would hate seeing and hearing myself. However, I found out that I'm not so bad. I was bullied most of my life, so it's a relief to finally be okay with myself for the most part.
I know there are horrible people on the internet, but we received our first comment, and it was positive and friendly. It made me really happy.
 
We are starting to YouTube to get a following for our new site; in essence, to gain brand awareness. We just want to help individuals to learn the best software that will help them make a living online.
 
I do YouTube because i've always had a feeling of insecurity and awkwardness, and I felt that doing YouTube would conquer that fear, and fair to say at the moment i hardly ever feel like that even if I'm holding my camera out in public.

To ANYONE who's reading this and wants to start a Youtube channel but don't have the confidence or feel as if people will make fun of you, just do it even if you don't get many views your channel will improve and grow, it just takes time.
