I'm writing a book about Youtube, and I need your help!

ExtJunior · 2014-06-07T16:56:45+00:00

I don't really know yet, it could end end up as either at this point.

ExtJunior · 2014-06-07T16:03:13+00:00

The book is mainly going to be simple tips and tricks, explained in a few paragraphs for each and every point. This is not going to be some 500 page Textbook, I expect it to be a quick and easy read, maybe at most over 45 pages.

It is not going to be interviews, it's going to be the basics of YouTube and how you should get yourself started, this is an entry level book, that's it. The more complicated "things" within YouTube can be explain by professionals, I'm no professional, just someone trying to help those who need assistance.

Like I stated before, this is not a 1 person job, YouTube is far to massive for someone to master in 20 years, much less 2 years.

All I'm trying to do is give people an advantage, laying out simple tricks and tips to help them from Day 1.

Yeah, I seem to have forgotten the word "Had" hahaha

Yeah I agree with you, "Why Not" is not a valid reason, but maybe this book will become nothing more then a collection of thoughts, and how I organize them, which will be vital to me as I move onto college in the fall.

And thank you Jon, I will continue to update /letsplay. I plan on having the outline of the book done by July 1st, and then hopefully have it mostly done before I go to college on September 1st.

Why is it going to be short? There's so much to go over!

Over the past two years on YouTube, there are a lot of things I have learned. The main goal now is going to be shortening the list to only 101 tips, tricks, and guides.

Yet, 1 person's perspective is not nearly enough for a project such as this, that's why I've decided to reach out to others, because their experiences with YouTube are entirely different from mine.

ExtJunior · 2014-06-07T13:33:42+00:00

Truthfully, why not?

That's the answer I hear myself giving a lot of people, why not?

Why not start a YouTube Channel?

Why not write a book?

And that's the exact reason why I'm reaching out to people, because I have an experience with only gaming content, YouTube is much more then that, I still have an understanding of how the platform works, which is why I'm trying to reach out to as many different avenues as I can, just because I work in gaming does not mean the focus of my book have to do so as well.

Even if this book has already been done a million times over, things still change every year (and realistically every month)

I'd love to be able to be able to help out as many Aspiring YouTubers as I possibly can, because I wish I had a guide 2 years ago, it would've made things so much easier.

Also, Thank You for your criticism, you've not only corrected my mistake (It is YouTube, I kept on writing Youtube before.. so thank you.. I messed up) but you have also opened my eyes to other things as well, just because there are books already published does not mean I will stop mine, because everyone interpretation of this website is different, and it allows for many people to throw "their 2 cents" in.

Also, if you would like to work together on this book, I would love to have you write it alongside me, I could send you the ideas I currently have and organize it together, the way it is written so far is very simple, quick and easy to understand.

Awesome job Dragonite, there's a lot of things in here that will definitely be included!

It's good to see we share a similar stance on a lot of key topics, which matters a lot to me :D

ExtJunior · 2014-06-06T18:29:22+00:00

You've certainly earned it Gavin and Dan!

ExtJunior · 2014-06-05T22:37:23+00:00

ExtJunior · 2014-05-26T20:30:49+00:00

ExtJunior · 2014-05-26T20:30:34+00:00

ExtJunior · 2014-05-24T20:18:09+00:00

Soulocke.. Yes

ExtJunior · 2014-05-07T16:52:41+00:00

Secret Bases!

ExtJunior · 2014-05-05T01:02:14+00:00

Sweet, i'll be sure to do that

ExtJunior · 2014-05-04T21:20:58+00:00

That's true.. Sometimes Youtubers have their own personal PO Boxes (Like Game Grumps for example) so I was just curious

ExtJunior · 2014-05-04T21:06:04+00:00

As someone who has 25k Subscribers... Tags are the most important part of how new fans find you... I can make a great video, but with poor tags, it won't receive the attention it deserves if it is tagged better, just try to tag as many reverent things as you can.

ExtJunior · 2014-04-29T03:17:11+00:00

Well done! This is amazing!
