If they can do it, anyone can. Right?

When thinking of those creatures we have caged inside our little boxes of light, also known as YouTube Celebrities, we remember all the times they made us laugh, or cry, or made us #icanteven. We see the pretty faces and we some even see their REAL faces when the makeup fades away and the truth is behind the camera. 

So, after seeing these characters of the camera, I ask myself, "Can I do that?" with the voice of Steve Urkel rattling my mind and eardrums.  

What can I do to make those boys and girls comeback and then make me trending on Twitter? How can I show the real me without showing them what I had for lunch that day? 

I started to think of what qualities YouTubers all share besides a camera and a YouTube account. After creating a survey asking that question, my peers responded with many different answers. Out of the few qualities I listed on the survey, and said an important quality was "talent".

What does that mean though? Is it something that everyone has? Or is it balancing on a tightrope with flower pot on your head while you are fire spinning and singing the "Nessun dorma" Opera. 

#thatoperaislit Trend it on Twitter.

I believe there must be a passion for creating when becoming a YouTuber. You should stay tune and follow the beat of your own drum when performing the work, you made for you not for anyone else. 

There is a level of knowing when too much is TOO MUCH when I think of any part of the creative process, even as I write this I say, “Do I really need that in all caps?" and I reply to myself forcefully with a, "Obvi. It is totes needed". I apologize in-advanced for my tween like behavior.

In an interview with popular YouTuber Fousey, YouTube Channel, by the Huffington Post article author Bryan Elliott states, 

      

        "They don’t risk it all at first...They don’t give up... He [Fousey] creates what he 

        thinks is entertaining content and keeps trying to please his audience. You’re only as 

        good as your last video so you have to keep on going" (Elliott. Huffington).

So maybe talent isn't something you need to learn, maybe it's something you already know. I mean, you already know who you are don't you? So just start from there and see where special talent of being yourself takes you.

Does YouTube change people and its viewers?

This is what I believe to be true, people change their opinions because of others. I also believe YouTubers take part in changing these views.

Ever since the first King or Queen of whatever country you are from, people have always revered someone seen from a higher status. Using their upper class power to control or "advise" others on their beliefs and opinions. The Celebrities of this generation have become the new kings and queens of the world. So much so that we started to call them queens and kings. Queen Bey (Beyonce) and King Jay (Jay-Z) are just one example

With PewDiePie, the king of subscribers on YouTube with almost 50 million (His Channel). Another YouTuber like Tyler Oakley (8.1 million subscribers) is known as the queen of collaborations. Now Oakley has partnered with Ellen DeGeneres show and interviewing other celebrities from all types of arts and fields (An article by Variety).

YouTubers have effect of inspire or change on their audiences. YouTubers have also used this fame to help other charities or causes in need by doing birthday live-streams with a fundraiser. Tyler Oakley and Connor Franta (5.6 million subscribers) have done these live-stream donation parties to raise money for clean water in third world countries and for LGBTQ suicide prevention and protection (Other fundraisers done by YouTubers).

It has gotten to an extreme level of worship and commitment that fans travel sometimes thousands of miles just see the face of these "celebrities".

Many YouTubers used their fame to help in this past 2016 Election, but that's all I want to say about this year's election.

Though this social media platform is only one of many, I feel as though YouTube has one of the biggest impacts on viewers ideals and viewpoints because of the effort and emotion put into each video.

What does being a part of the YouTube community do for the creator?

When we look at a computer, we don't see the person that made the screen or the manufacturer of the motherboard. The user becomes an insect and gets attracted by a pretty light.

With the big distraction of the screen, people sometimes forget why they are looking at it. They don't look or think about why this is here and what the purpose of this magical box is. It can be said the same way about YouTube videos and the YouTube community.

These creators are using one of the largest media sharing platforms to not only gain popularity and express themselves; they also use the platform as a source of income.

When creating a YouTube creator account, which is different from an ordinary account, you are asked to join the YouTube Partner Program.

In the opening page to the YouTube Partner Program is says,

"The YouTube Partner Program lets creators monetize content on YouTube in many ways, including advertisements, paid subscriptions, and merchandise." (Click here)

This is saying that, you can use this platform as long as if you allow us to interrupt your content with ads and shameless promotion of their channel.

Having YouTube now creating a new source of income for these creators, so there is one question everyone wants to ask but doesn't. How much do you (they in this context) make?

Though their annual amount differs based on what is popular on the internet and/or what the current CPM, Cost per thousand (CPM) is a marketing term used to denote the price of 1,000 advertisement impressions on one webpage. If a website publisher charges $2.00 CPM, that means an advertiser must pay $2.00 for every 1,000 impressions of its ad. (Click here to learn more).

According to an article by People and Forbes magazine that the highest paid YouTube creator is Felix Kjellberg, also known as PewDiePie, making $12 million a year.
