Hey guys!
So, before I get to the actual video...
I have a huge announcement
*Sigh*
I said HUGE announcement!
Thank you.
I... Just want to let you guys know that
I am a genius now
In the literal-ly arts
Because I wrote a book!
Yayyyyyyy!
Gotta' start working out again D:
And I know this is very sudden news for a lot of you
Specially if you don't follow me on Twitter
at @therealryanhiga
Or my Instagram at @notryanhiga
Or on my Facebook at
the fac- Facebook.com sla- ugh...???
But the reason for that is that
I don't like to promote myself...
Or my own products,
because I this that's very selfish and conceited
and I think--
facebook.com/higatv.
That's what it was.
Make sure you guys like my page,
share all my videos,
and make sure you guys go check it right now.
But yeah, I wrote a book.
It is called "How to write good."
and this is the cover.
This is not the actual book,
I just printed out the cover and put it on a different book.
This is Radio Graphic Pethology for Technologists, fifth edition.
Obviously, my book is gonna be better.
Because my book has pictur--
Oh, this has pictures of brains and stuff.
I don't know why, why am I reading this?
But yeah, I wrote the book
It's called "How to Write Good"
It's very...I mean it came from my mind so it's very different
And I'm going to be honest it's v- super weird
I don't think most people who casually read books
are going to like it because it's so different
But, uh - say that you have a big announcement,
I did that, in fact I said it was huge
Don't let the fans know this is a promo,
Of course not, I'm not an idiot
And very important,
Make book sound interesting
Do not call book weird or anything else negative
Towards the...*awkward silence*
This book "How to write good" is so damn good
It is...sorry, so damn well
Can't be making those kinds of mistakes anymore,
I'm a published author now
This is the best book ever
It is not weird, it is not anything that I have to say negative about it
It is exactly like every other bestselling book out there right now
Except for the fact that it hasn't sold that much yet
But other than that, it's the same thing
There's a cover...with pictures in it
There are words, so many words
I have the best words, huge words
*um* going off topic
The reason I'm bringing this up, other than I am promo- not promoting my book
*wink wink* *bright smile*
*triple wink wink* *triple bright smiles*
Is because writing a book is a very important stage in a YouTuber's career
It means I am in one of the final stages of my YouTube career
And my YouTube life, so...
Ooh, yeah! *laughs*
What are you guys doing?
That means we can get out of here right?
Yeah, it's really cramped back here
I have to poop so bad.
No, I said one of the final stages, not the end
*ugh* just watch the video
There are 10 major stages in the life of a Youtuber
You already know one of the final stages called write a book
But we'll get to that later
Also keep in mind some of these stages maybe out of order for some people
But for the most part these are stages almost every YouTuber goes through at some point
So let's start with the first one
Stage one Just For Fun
Not all but the majority of youtubers first start at creating their YouTube channel because of an interest they had and they want to give it a shot
Not for fame , Not for money They basically started making videos just for fun
Stage 2 I'm Smelling Poo
Will: What?
'Cause... 'cause you're famous now
So you think you're the s***
You know?
You could've made a better title than that
Yeah, I feel like you just said that because it rhymes
K- you know what guys, can I just -
*sigh" Stage 2
I'm smelling poo
This is the stage where you first start to discover your popularity
You start getting recognized from the streets,
you have fans,
people want pics and autographs,
and for you, you pretend like you don't enjoy all this attention
because it happens "all the time"
But deep down,
Let's be real, you love it, 'cause
you feel special
The more successful you get, the more hate and negativity you'll receive
and this is the stage where you make your first video about haters
and why you can't understand why they're so hateful
because it bothers you a lot knowing that even though you're so loved,
There's a lot of people out there that hate you
Stage 4 is when you get even more popular
The peak of your YouTube career
And with all that fame, you get more and more haters
But now that you've seen it so much
You've learned that hating on haters doesn't work
This is the part where you put on a cool guy act
and pretend that hater comments
don't affect you anymore
But in reality...
It still does.
There's always that moment after your peak of your Youtube career
where things start to slow down a little bit
and that's when you begin to freak out
and start questioning yourself
You start doubting your own content...
And eventually, you start to change your content
In order to try in bring your growth
back to what it used to be
It's pretty much desesperation time
This is where you start using the old strategies, such as:
Click bait thumbnails
and titles, collabing with other random youtubers
so you can increase your subs
and this is when you start doing more popular, trendy challenges
Just anything it takes to get you more viewers
and after a while,
your content's not even what you started out making
You're just making stuff to get views
You're depressed now,
Because your YouTube fame has been dying down for a while now
However, this is the stage where you magically turn that all around
by watching one inspirational, motivational speaker
on Facebook talk about happiness :)
and then you take that speakers advice to heart
and overexaggerate it
not just to yourself, but all your fans as well
After a few months of being overly positive,
you realize you were putting up a front
and you weren't really as happy as you were pretending to be
or preaching others to be
Now you decide: do you keep making Youtube videos
or do you quit
and go and pursue something else
like acting or making a movie.
And regardless of what you decide,
You still make a video telling all your fans
that you want to quit YouTube
*angry punching*
You told everyone you were done with YouTube, but
You're back
It was a joke. What a suprise.
After such a long break from YouTube,
You feel hyped and refreshed
And ready to start taking YouTube seriously again
You also found that passion again of what first got you started
However, this doesn't last very long.
Because of your long break from YouTube,
Your growth and your views are lower than ever
perhaps its time to take drastic measures
Maybe you should rebrand yourself
maybe start drama with another YouTuber
Maybe it's not about what kind of videos you want to make,
But what kind of videos will get you more VIEWS
stage 9 write a book
yeah, i started the whole rhyming the title thing after the intro
so you know stage 9 write a book, time
stage 9 write a book time is to write a book
like I mentioned earlier one of the last stages
in a youtuber's life is to write a book
this is the point where you believe you've gone through so much
that you feel the need to write a book
first you finish the book then you don't promote it at all
which makes the book publishing company very upset with you
and tells you need to promote it , or else
which you then say tt i don't care you don't scare me
i'm not going to sell out and make a promotional video
just to sell books
what kinda person do you think I am
a person who just randomly promotes my book How To Write Good
and say that, oh it's available for pre-order and,
in Amazon right now links in the description
next to my tour dates that I
going to be going on in the next month in the following cities
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
is why ... is what you say then (silence)
stage ten the end
this is the stage after you write your book
the final stage, you're finally in a great place
where you're happy and satisfied
in content with what you done with youtube
career and you finally think it's time to
make that last video
it's a heartfelt video
where cheesy music begins to play
where you start thanking everybody
for everything they've done for you
for this incredible 10-11 year journey
what ever it is for you that you've been on
and you just try to show how much you
truly truly appreciate that
And even though you're known to be comedic
you shouldn't not be taken seriously
this is the one time that you
are genuine with your viewers and
you really really just can't thank them enough
for everything that they've done
And it gets a little cheesy
none of that really matters because it's all about
the appreciation you have for the fans
and well, it's time.
It's the end.
The end of stage 10
On to stage 11!
Wait what?
Stage 11 the same issue I had rhyming with 7
Stage 11's go- .. heaven...?
No, this stage is not even called 11. This is stage
One one. Because in stage one one.
You repeat back to stage one
But you have twice the fun
Because you finally understand how to truly live like a YouTuber
and enjoy it. Because as we know that was the whole goal
to begin with. To have fun!
It's one big completed circle.
Do what you wanna make. Make what you wanna make
Who cares if it's a boring video with no skits in it?
Who cares if there's really poor drawings in there?
Even if you're not an animator and they look pretty bad.
Throw them in there!
Doesn't matter if you're having fun. Twice the fun!
Stage one one. - So it's completed then?
What? -Stage one is done?
So it's over, right? We can finally leave
What? No! It just repeats. You just have to add a one in front of it now
From stage one one: twice the fun,
We go to stage one two. I'm smelling PFFT
I warned you...
