Inspirational stories - YouTuber Video Transcripts
Video 1 Transcript
There's lots of opportunities for inspirational stories and I think a lot of it also will depend on the content you produce on YouTube and what your goal is. I know for me recently we had a video we uploaded and it was of some people singing a song. It was actually a few of my cousins and someone commented saying you know they were considering ending their life and the video that came up on YouTube was this one and it kind of gave them the peace they needed and that's happened quite a few times. Unfortunately we live in a society where people are in a fragile state but being able to provide them hope in some of these videos it's just that's pretty awesome and again I'd remind people to try to make an impact not just try to make money or have fame but make an impact.

So I think one of the most inspirational stories that I experienced as a YouTuber has been one day we got a letter from a fan and she shared with us that she had been living a lifestyle that was very damaging, doing, you know, making very poor decisions, doing drugs and things, but she felt justified because she could still make it to work the next day. And after watching our videos and seeing our family dynamic, watching me and my wife and our kids and the way that we interacted with each other in our lifestyle, it inspired her so much she decided to quit doing all those damaging self-destructive behaviors and she decided that she wanted to live a life that would allow her opportunities like our family has and be in a family like we have and that's always inspired me.

I felt really strongly like God wanted me to like publish videos online to help people and I was once struggling uploading videos to YouTube. I was trying to upload dozens of HD 1080p video segments, you know, one to three hours of like video interviews a day to YouTube back in the day. It was taking so long, even with good internet, like even with like 50 to 100 megabits per second download and I don't know what it was upload but anyway prayed for help and then like lo and behold a few months later we got Google Fiber in our city got announced and then we had, you know, a gigabit upload speed if we wanted and that really made a lot easier for me to do what I felt inspired to do on YouTube so I thought that was kind of a neat little blessing I've seen.

My story that I think is inspirational at least and has been kind of life-changing for me has been about persistence. So after many, many years of being on YouTube and having success along the way and being able to do this full-time, I still was struggling with sponsors and getting good deals with sponsors, and I had never broken the $10,000 mark with a sponsor where they paid me $10,000 or more for a sponsored video. And that went on for years. I got a lot of, you know, $4,000, $6,000, $2,000, whatever. And then within about two weeks, three things happened all at once. So I got a $13,500 sponsor, and then I landed and finally finished a huge deal with another company for $100,000. And then at the same time, landed another deal where I got a piece of equipment that I had been wanting that will allow me to start a separate business, and that one was worth about $70,000. So hang in there. Good things are coming.

So we had a lady who sent us a letter in the mail and she said basically that every single day of her life she was really struggling but she thought it was normal. She was drinking until she would pass out at night and she was doing drugs and she just everyone she was around in her life made that seem like it was a very normal thing until she watched our videos and then she figured out that there was a better way of living and that she could possibly have a family one day and that she could have a great life and that maybe this fairy tale idea of a family was not so fake after all and she just sent us a letter and was like thank you for this. This is really giving me something to strive for and look forward to and change my life about. So she's made some changes and it's really cool.

When you're sharing yourself, we share different aspects of ourselves on our different channels, but when we kind of get real and keep ourselves real and, you know, share a deep part of ourselves, a lot of times we get comments from people who are genuinely touched and helped by, you know, seeing our family. That's usually the one that's more touching to people. Sometimes that's the only family they see, in our instance, and even though we're not their family, obviously they have sort of adopted themselves into our daily routine, and that's nice to know. And when we start to want to, you know, quit, which we've actually done several times, and restart it again, but that's actually the aspect that keeps us going.
