What's up guys, hope you're doing well.
-
I'm in a different location because I wanted to do something a little different today.
-
I want to talk about where I've been and where I'm going.
-
So this is my 2012 year in review.
-
In 2012, I accomplished a lot on YouTube.
-
And even though I joined YouTube in 2006, I really didn't start making videos until
-
little over a year ago.
-
During 2012, my videos have been featured on the Huffington Post.
-
I've been interviewed on NBATV.
-
This year alone, three of my videos were on the Today Show.
-
But it's important to note that on January 29th I only had 1,000 subscribers and I wasn't
-
even a partner.
-
I wasn't getting paid to do any of this.
-
I was just doing it for fun.
-
But that's really the reason I started making videos: for fun…not to get rich and famous,
-
it's just because I wanted to have a voice…to say whatever DAHECK I wanted to say.
-
On February 24th, I was fortunate to have a viral video, my most successful video to
-
date: Top 100 First World Problems.
-
This video led directly to me becoming a full time partner on YouTube.
-
I got an email asking me if I wanted to be a partner.
-
And it was just amazing.
-
It was amazing because it just felt like someone validated what I was doing.
-
As the year progressed, I kept learning.
-
I kept looking at other YouTubers, picking up little things that they would do.
-
When does the music come in?
-
When does it fade out?
-
How many cutaways do they have?
-
How many songs did they use?
-
And, someehow between all of this, I was able to develop my own style: the Scooter Magruder
-
style.
-
I started making my own different types of series: Top 100 videos, Stuff Fans Say, Not
-
About That Life.
-
And I guess some people liked it because on May 1st I reached over 10,000 subscribers.
-
That was a pretty big thing to me.
-
At that point, you really couldn't say anything to me.
-
I would just slap you.
-
Exactly one week after that, I was announced as YouTube Next Vlogger.
-
Basically, I entered a competition put on by YouTube and out of thousands of people
-
that applied worldwide, not just in the US, I was selected as one of sixteen Next Vloggers.
-
This remains the single biggest achievement for me in 2012.
-
Through Google+ Hangouts we got mentorship by some of the top YouTubers: WhatTheBuck,
-
Natalie Tran from Community Channel, and iJustine.
-
I told iJustine to follow me on Twitter.
-
I'm not lying.
-
She didn't do it, but I still told her.
-
We received advertise…promotion.
-
Advertisinal?
-
Advertisment.
-
We received promotion on YouTube and video equipment as well.
-
In fact, this video (camera) and the lighting for this video YouTube gave to me as part
-
of that program.
-
And it opened up so many doors for me.
-
I was able to meet 15 other people who were really passionate about making videos.
-
And to this day, I remain good friends with some of them.
-
Some of them you may even recognize from being in some of my videos.
-
But most importantly, it was as if someone looked at all my hard work and just said:
-
“You know what, I agree with what you're doing.
-
I see your hard work and here's the payout.”
-
And it was just amazing!
-
A couple months after the YouTube Next Vlogger program, I reached 25,000 subscribers on YouTube.
-
And as of December 30th 2012, I have over 40,000 subscribers.
-
And to each and every one of you who support me, I would just like to say:
-
Thank you.
-
Whether you've ever shared a video on Facebook, whether you've ever retweeted me, or even
-
sent me a suggestion for another video, you don't really understand how far those things
-
go these days.
-
But as for what you can expect for next year, I got a lot of Top 100 videos planned, I finally
-
got the format for the Not About That Life figured out, and I will be replacing Stuff
-
Fans Say with a new series that I think everyone will love called Magruder Mobile.
-
Yes, it's about to get real.
-
I'm not playing.
-
There's so many more things that I left out that know I could tell you but I'm not
-
trying to make a documentary.
-
2012 was a good year and, lord willing, 2013 will be even better.
-
New videos every Sunday.
-
No Jugamos Juegos.
-
Throw me the alley.
