you doin it's Bruce here traveling with Bruce today I want to talk to you about
the the the in influencers I think that's the right word YouTube
influencers that have helped me create YouTube videos I'm a new youtuber just
to kind of give you a quick introduction if you've never seen me before Bruce
here with traveling Bruce I'm out of Creston British Columbia in Canada I
started my youtube channel on August the 12th 2017 this summer today is I believe
October the 27th 2017 so it's been about 75 days and for a year before I started
my channel I did a bunch of research I watched a lot of YouTube videos and
YouTube influencers and how to's and how do you do a video how do you upload the
video how do you how do you get a channel up and running I knew nothing
about the logistics of becoming a youtuber all I knew was I wanted to talk
about YouTube I want to talk about some subjects I wanted to talk about my
travels I decided to call my channel traveling with Bruce because I do travel
videos I love cruise ship vacations I love to fly to different places and I
also love telling the odd story and so I have a couple playlists one of which is
so I know you like a good story and I invite you to check him out but in order
to do this I had to figure out how do we get youtuber I have no idea how to be a
youtuber and so video influencers and I wanted today to highlight three of them
in particular who have been instrumental in helping me do what I do and so that
what you're looking at right now what I'm editing and what I'm uploading is
because these three particular influencers and
if you're a person who's ever thinking about becoming a youtuber or you know
somebody who's thinking oh I might become I might do YouTube's these are
three three of the people you have to watch among many others but this these
three are some of my favorites number one is PowerDirector University that's
the name of the YouTube channel Malik is the gentleman who runs it it's a great
it's a great instructional site I use PowerDirector for my video editing
software per our directory I think I'm using PowerDirector 15 there's now
PowerDirector 16 and I love it at the first when I first bought it or which is
about I don't know 60 American dollars I suppose I you know I uploaded it onto my
computer and I'm looking at this thing going oh my goodness how do I operate
this and then I I thought huh Bruce go to YouTube and and and do a search on
YouTube to see if anyone can show you how to use it and sure enough right away
I found PowerDirector University the the YouTube channel and it's wonderful malik
takes specific topics and he'll he'll show you how to edit this how to upload
that how to do some trimming all kinds of tricks and it's from basic to
advanced and if you've seen my videos or if you watch any of my videos after you
watch this video and please do please do you'll find how simple my videos are
really big they look they aren't that complicated however I do have to upload
photos inside I put videos in there sometimes have background music I have
to figure out how to transition how to do titling how to zoom in on shots
there's all kinds of thing things that you have to learn and I knew nothing
zero zip and PowerDirector university has been invaluable to me I still use
PowerDirector University even to this day after 70 uploads that I've done I've
done 70 videos I'm still he was and I'll be using it for a long time yet
because like I said my videos are pretty primitive so that's number one is maleeh
the second the second youtuber I want to talk about is called is it he built is
how i pronounce it is ite build bu al the all one word
herman herman drost runs that that channel herman is great i really like
him herman shows you step by step how to do
things for your youtube channel and in other applications it's fantastic so
i'll write into issues like how do I change my playlist order or how do I
even set up a playlist on YouTube and with Herman he shows it to you right
like life he'll he'll he'll he'll he'll have it on his video and he'll run you
right through each step showing you okay you go here first then you'll see this
page click that then this page will come up click that this page will come up I
love that I love it I'm 62 years old I need all the help I can get
I don't know how to turn on the toaster half the time so with Herman's guidance
I've been able to manage and go through a number of hurdles jump over a bunch of
hurdles on YouTube with logistics and and the settings and the configurations
words I never used up until a few months ago on a regular basis that I now have
to know what they mean let alone be able to say them
Herman does a live broadcast live stream I believe it's every Friday morning but
an hour long it's great he takes questions no problem
he'll respond to you he reacts in his comments I tell you you're gonna love it
if you're a new youtuber you want to get into youtubing check out this with this
site oh by the way all the sites I'm talking about there will be links in my
description so you can find them no problem okay and the third influencer
Nick Neiman is the third influencer I want to talk about today Nick is really
something he has 90,000 followers his his subscriber
base is just taking off it's fantastic Nick is does a number of different
things he does his own videos on his channel he does a live stream I believe
every Saturday morning at least for me it's Saturday morning depending on your
time zone and then he also works with two buddy and Nick has done hundreds and
hundreds of videos and the topics are just just just discover everything I
find him very entertaining to listen to I find it very informative he has
unbelievable lengths of his descriptions they're just longest can be with all
kinds of links to to to check things out go through his playlist and you'll find
topics that you're gonna want to know about the other day giving an example
you've probably noticed a little clip of each of these channels as I've been
talking about them I asked all three of these guys can I use a clip of yours of
your channel to make this video because I want you to see some of the work they
do and a nick a riff on responded like like like Herman and Malik yes of course
go right ahead be happy to do it and the other day I'm looking on my my
computer I went to YouTube i'm going to Nick's channel and I'm looking for a
video where I can find a clip to use of Nick in action you know and I come
across a YouTube video of his must have been a couple of months ago and I'm
looking at the title of mine I can't remember if I've seen this one before
not so I start to watch this video and there are five tips in there about being
being a better youtuber about how to enhance your subscriptions and improve
your subscription ratios and this type of thing and I'm looking at this guy I
don't remember seeing this and then I I'm not asking myself well did I did I
do those things and so I pause the video I go to my my YouTube analytics page and
just like Nick Nick explains in the video I went click click click and I
realized I hadn't any of these things well geez I get to
work and took me one hour and a half because I'm slow but eventually I got
the entire five things done that Nick was talking about doing to make your
channel a better channel well in three days I've added another four subscribers
I can't say it has anything to do with that video specifically but I'll take it
and Nick thank you but that's just an example of how powerful these three
channels are I am researching this video that I'm doing now using these
influencers videos to make my channel better to give me better reach better
tags better titling better search results all the terms that youtubers
know and it's unbelievable I am this this YouTube business I'm in a full-time
gig here I'm learning stuff every day and I'm on the I'm on my computer 12
hours a day I'm loving it it's fantastic and I've gotta say thank you to Nick NIM
and thank you to Herbert Ross thank you to Malik these three sites are three
sites I'd highly recommend if you're thinking of getting into YouTube or
you're already a youtuber and you want to get better at it or you can't figure
out why you can't get views or you can't find subscribers or things to start
working right for you or you do a google search and you can't find your own video
on Google even if you type in your actual title check these guys up you'll
learn so much it'll make your head spin it'll take you weeks weeks to watch all
these videos so take your time go through a few a day find what interests
you and follow follow these guys and keep up with them because they're right
on the cutting edge of what's going on and you'll go a long way with them so
