Hey Quinlan
-
My name is JR.
-
I'm a YouTuber based in Taiwan, and my channel is “JR Lee Radio.”
-
Remember to subscribe by the way.
-
I'm currently working here in Guam with your dad.
-
And I gotta say, even though dad is always dad
-
but your dad is awesome.
-
Like all the YouTubers here think your dad is really d*pe!
-
The visual reality stuff, 360 videos
-
Your dad is really something.
-
So I heard you're 9 years old and you wanna become a YouTuber.
-
Or should I say you already are one
-
'cos you've been posting some stuff on the platform already, right?
-
I can't wait to see it!
-
So give me a link, I will check it out.
-
And as a YouTuber myself. I've been doing it for more than a year.
-
I've got 140k subscribers so far.
-
I gotta say that being a YouTuber is a privilege 'cos you got
-
people following you
-
and they look up to you.
-
They're expecting you to set an example for them.
-
They wanna talk like you. They wanna act like you.
-
They even wanna think like you.
-
So I think it's a lot of power
-
and a lot of responsibility, too.
-
And today I just wanna share with you
-
since you're so eager to become a YouTuber
-
or post YouTube videos... I'm so eager to share with you
-
the reality of YouTuber... so...
-
Here's my working schedule while I'm here in Guam.
-
I usually get up very early in the morning, before sunrise.
-
That's my morning ritual. I do it every single day.
-
And by 7 in the morning, we're at the restaurant getting breakfast.
-
And around 9 o'clock, we're a group of 20 to 25 people,
-
we group up and we set off on our journey
-
following our itinerary.
-
So we go shooting in different places
-
there and here... here and there...
-
We always using our GoPros, our DSLRs looking for some great stuff.
-
A-Roll, B-Roll, Live Streaming
-
And when we're not doing that... we're thinking of it.
-
We're plotting out the script, we're thinking of footage.
-
What we can use, what we can't.
-
How are we gonna cope with the weather, the situation.
-
So that's what it kind of looks like behind the camera.
-
It's a lot of work.
-
And usually around 9 or 10 at night,
-
we go back to our hotel, and we sort of wash up a bit, dress down
-
and we start editing
-
We categorize our files, and then we put it in our software
-
We start doing the editing stuff
-
and it goes throughout the night.
-
So usually when we go to bed it's around like 1 or 2 in the morning.
-
I'm not telling you you have to do the same
-
but it's hard work.
-
So if you think about it, it's actually a lot of effort that you have to put in to it.
-
It takes a lot of commitment and determination just like any other job.
-
Being a YouTuber is a great job, but there's also a price to pay.
-
So when you think of being a YouTuber or Taking it seriously,
-
there's a lot to put in to consideration.
-
So to conclude this, I would say that being a YouTuber
-
takes a lot of determination and commitment
-
especially if you wanna go long... if you wanna go for the long run...
-
you wanna really make it out there, be successful,
-
you want people to follow you, you want people to subscribe
-
and really take something away from your videos.
-
I think it takes a lot of work.
-
However, there is one thing that is even more important
-
and I think it's… something that I really really wanna share with you.
-
So just imagine yourself,
-
you have like… ok… 140k subscribers like me right now
-
or maybe even more, when you get to a million
-
or maybe to Casey Neistat, how about that?
-
With so many subscribers… they are going to look up to you.
-
They are going to expect you to set an example form them.
-
To talk like you, act like you, dress like you,
-
think like you as we just mentioned.
-
And that is a lot of power for one person.
-
There is a specific movie that I do like a lot
-
and I bet you know it.
-
It's Spiderman. “The Amazing Spiderman”
-
And the best line throughout the entire movie is
-
“With great power comes great responsibility”
-
Don't you think so?
-
So in some sense, big YouTubers…
-
Maybe not like me, but people like Casey Neistat, Logan Paul…
-
People like them.
-
They have this great power to influence other people.
-
So when you become like them, you gotta ask yourself this question,
-
“What do you want people to take away from your stuff?”
-
“What do you want people to be influenced by?”
-
So what kind of content you make decides that direction.
-
And that's what I'm trying to do here on my channel.
-
I'm trying to bring a positive impact to people
-
'cos I believe that is a very valuable thing.
-
So I'm just saying
-
I'm glad to hear that you wanna become a YouTuber.
-
I think it's a great thing. It's a... you know… a big dream to achieve.
-
As I said, tell me your channel.
-
Leave your link right down there. I'll definitely check it out.
-
But this is just from me, from a YouTuber from Taiwan.
-
Some advice.
-
And that's about it.
-
Hope you do well in school as well.
-
And I with you the best, okay? Quinlan
-
One more thing, your dad is really d*pe!
