YouTube here I come!
While most "crypto influencers" opted to go with YouTube to get started building their audiences, I decided to go a different route. Jump back to January of 2017 when I first decided to create this blog, I hated the way YouTube treated their content producers (it's even worse now after recent changes!!!). I saw a TON of personalities in the crypto world using it as their main source of content distribution instead of their own website, and I just could not get on board. Since I build websites for a living (you didn't know?? See my business site here), I decided to start a blog and WRITE content instead of doing videos.
This was the worst mistake I made in all 2017...

The Worst Of Times, The Best Of Times
Soooo, maybe I am being a little harsh on myself here and need to revise that previous statement... What I should have done was create my own website AND gotten on YouTube at the same time. I love the freedom and control I have over my content hosted on my own website, and you just can't get that on YouTube. What I did was underestimate the growth potential for followers through a YouTube channel (especially Oct, Nov, & Dec 2017), versus just pushing written content through my site. I saw the dumbest shilling fools on YouTube reaching 100,000 subs for spewing bullshit all day long while I was churning out quality content that was seen by far fewer people each day.
I am NOT all about the numbers and I truly love my amazing followers for keeping up with my journey, but I guess it just felt like I could have reached and helped more people with quality information. So many people were scammed in 2017 by these jokers on YouTube that it pains me to think about it. Regardless, getting my content to YouTube has been one of my goals since November.
Taking The Video Plunge
Fastforward to today, and I am finally reaching my goal!
I have had a CryptoStache YouTube channel for a while (<-- click that link & subscribe to help me out!), but it only had a few previews of my online crypto course on it. I ordered some video equipment in April to prepare for doing video content along with my written articles starting this month. I will be first porting over my MOST READ articles to YouTube along with videos for select new content as well. This means you get like 2000% more 'Stache for the same great price of $0!
Before I get into breaking down my video streaming setup, I want to tell you about why I am giving away $100 in ETH to 3 lucky people!
I recorded this video intro below for my YouTube channel, and my girlfriend told me the intro music sounded like a cheesy 80's VHS training video music!!! WTF?!? Well... she's kind of right actually! I had the intro done by a guy on fiver.com and while I like the animations, I never really liked the audio. SOOOoooo I am going to hold a VOTE ON MY INTRO VIDEO MUSIC poll and I will pick 3 people at random that complete all the voting steps and give each of them $100 in Ethereum!
FULL DETAILS ON HOW TO ENTER WILL BE POSTED ON Monday, May 14th ON MY WEBSITE!
The intro video music with the most votes will be official and I will replace the one there now. This is BIG because I will use this intro for all of my videos going forward for the foreseeable future!
Ok, now on to my video streaming build!
