Hey how's it going, this is your energetic and happy YouTube expert, Derral Eves. And
I also have a perma-smile! Now you're probably wondering why I have this smile, well recently
I hit a huge milestone for my channel! I was able to grow this channel from zero subscribers
to 50,000 subscribers in a very short amount of time. And honestly I know it's not just
me, it's because of you and I wanted to give some type of recognition or prize for hitting
this milestone. And a lot of channels will give away iPhones, iPads, KindleFires, GoPros,
camera systems, laptops, and I thought that's great, but it only benefits one person. And
honestly not just one person made this channel what it is. It's because of you; I have 50,000+
people that have made this channel so great. So I wanted to give a benefit back to them
and I came up with really a great idea and I'm going to share that idea with you in a
really quick second. But I need to explain to you what I actually do for a living I'm
actually certified by YouTube in audience growth. I've been doing marketing for a very
long time; I got my degree in marketing. And I work strategically with corporations and
brands and I also work with a lot of top YouTube channels and I come up with marketing strategies
to get traffic to come in and you know, build audiences and you know, work on funnels and
how to monetize you know, videos and how to go through a lot of monetization and I do
quite well. I speak at a lot of conferences and I do a lot of training and honestly I'm
just immersed with all this traffic online. And YouTube's just one of the things that's
actually my passion, I love it! And I like to get involved. So I thought what can I actually
do to bring benefit back to the people that actually subscribe to my channel? And I came
up with a great idea, I'm going to basically go into my analytics and I found a way to
look at all the metrics of people that are the most engaged, the people that are subscribed
first off, and they're commenting on my videos, they're liking my videos, they're sharing
my videos, they're tweeting about my videos, they're posting on Facebook my videos. All
those different metrics and I'm going to basically do a little cyber stalking I'm going to look
at those channels, see what videos they actually made, see what type of channel strategy they're
actually using, see if I can identify who their target audience is. Also do a little
bit more cyber stalking go on Facebook, Twitter, Vine, see their strategies there, do some
Googling and see what type of online presence that they actually have. And then guess what
I'm going to do. I'm going to reach out to them and I'm going to give them a complete
evaluation for free. Now this evaluation is what I do for corporations and other channels,
some of the top channels here on YouTube, and I charge a lot of money for that. But
I'm going to do it for free and I'm going to work with them and I'm going to show them
all the great things that they're doing and I'm going to show the things they could improve
on to develop a more rich community or to get a little bit more power out of their videos
or to really get some more audience retention. And also repeat views off your videos, which
is really highly important. And then I'm also going to help them find a way that they actually
can make some more money at this, because that's something that I'm really good at.
And so I'm going to basically reach out to them, give them this evaluation, then what
I'm going to do is pull them on my channel and put them on the hot seat and give you,
everybody that's subscribed to my channel an overview of what I'm teaching them. Now
that's going to do two things. Number 1 it's going to really help this individual with
their channel and really move it to the next level, but it's going to do 2, the second
thing, which is it's going to help everyone by giving them ideas, it's going to give you
ideas! And thus, you know what? This is a great idea from my eyes. But I'd really like
to hear about if you like this idea, put it in the comments below. I'm right now cyber
stalking a few of my top fans; I'm also looking at people that are engaged on my channel and
in my communities. And I am reaching out to them here shortly. And we're going to actually
put people on the hot seat. So make sure you're subscribed, watch a few of my videos and thank
you so much for subscribing to Derral Eves! Is it Derral Eves? Whatever. It's my YouTube
channel, yeah. You're subscribed to me and we have fun, right? You like to watch my videos
and you know if we were, like, in the same town we would go to the park and go on swings
and down slides and yeah I don't know. Out to dinner? I don't know. Thanks, guys!
