I do YouTube because I enjoy inspiring people and sharing my knowledge and skill in helping them to design something beautiful, that makes them feel confident and good about themselves.
 
I do youtube to help me become more confident in front of the camera, and to give me something to do. I was watching YouTube for a while wishing I could make videos before I actually started doing it :).
 
I personally have never had any interest in becoming an entertainer, I've always just simply felt the urge to speak about the things i have passion for, out loud.
And I would rather not bother people in real life with subjects that do not interest them so i resorted to Youtube. Simple story really.
 
I started vlogging to get more comfortable in front of a camera, as my company is starting to make commercial videos/vlogs etc. However I found it exciting and entertaining, and it's my new personal hobby. Even though I'm new to the YouTube community, I've already met some great people and reconnected with old friends!
 
When I was younger I always watched tv. At the time I thought that was people who had a camera in their house secretly filming them. I thought that my family is also being filmed and people were watching us aswell....:)

So since I've realised that, that is not the case I've been quite introverted. After watching quite a few youtubers having, what looks like, alot of fun, I decided to stop my crap and man up.

So I recently started youtube to get myself out of my comfortzone and challenge myself in a different environment. Progress is slow but, I am loving the journey!
 
Woah, heavy question!
I guess, for the most part, i YouTube because I enjoy creating and sharing content.
I've always loved video games, been a gamer for longer than I can remember! Who needs to go outside anyway?

I began watching Markiplier about a year or so ago, just kind of randomly, and the way he brightened up my afternoon kind of made me want to do the same for other people.
Sappy, right?
well, it's true.
I'm pretty comfortable infront of a camera, before my work schedule ruined my life, I was a professional wrestler here in Adelaide.
Ok, I use the term Professional, but I never got paid for my work. But when i say 'Professional' it should conjure up images of WWE type wrestling, not Olympic style. Anyway, I used to wrestle once or sometimes twice a month, and train a few times a week at night with the other guys, but then work went and forced me into working nights, and I pretty much had to give that up. It totally sucks too, as I was just starting to find my motivation and form again. But anyhow, having my passion taken out from under my be a stupid company that couldn't give a crap about their employees, I felt I needed to turn my creative energies elsewhere. Gaming was about the only other thing I was any good at, so I fished my camera out of the cupboard, and set about creating a YouTube channel.
I've only been at this for about two months now, but I feel like my videos are going from strength to strength, and whilst it's slow going, I am growing week to week.
I look forward to doing this for a long time to come :)
 
because i thought it would be fun, i would make some new friends with the same interests with me, because i thought i could do it better than a lot of youtubers in all honesty. its a fun hobby learning about design, editing, advertising etc.

tldr; all dat youtube monies
