Hey I'm Alonzo and my YouTube channel
name is Alonzo and I talk about
dumbest fails on the Internet.
Being from a small city, I didn't think I
could make a living off of YouTube.
No one heard of Goldsboro. I was working on
Youtube during my stint at the bakery.
I didn't have a nine-to-five. I had a nine-to-nine job.
Youtube was an outlet for me. It was to escape my problems.
I was getting vibes so I knew it was coming.
I just didn't know when and when I got
fired from it I shook their hands and said
"Well, thank you for the opportunity".
When one door closed another window opens and I Ieft it at that.
I made an oath to myself late 2013. I said when 2014 comes along I'm going to
my classes and I'm going to upload at
least one video a week. While people are
at the beach during the summers I was
working in the books and doing YouTube.
By the end of November of 2014, I realized
Oh my gosh I've been doing it! If I ever
win an award I would totally give my
boss a shoutout, saying thank you for firing me.
Gave me more time to do what I love to do.
I am able to make a living and bought a house.
Paid my car off, paid my school loans off!
It's about saving and being consistent.
I don't want to get to that moment where
YouTube feels like work.
I'm not uploading three videos in one week.
I don't take a six month break.
I'm really consistent.
My advice is don't get discouraged because of low views.
Don't delete your videos.
When I first started out I was in competition.
When I stopped concentrating on the numbers and started
focusing on my own content that's when the numbers came in.
I just hit a million subscribers.
I feel like I'm on top of the world right now with my channel!
