YouTube
YouTube is a platform that I use daily, no joke. Usually there is never a day that goes by that I do not pull up the YouTube App on my phone or stream it on my television. I absolutely love the platform and for a hot second I wanted to be a Youtuber.
I just adore the platform. I was really intrigued to hear the history of it too because it has not been around for very long. YouTube started in 2005 and has grown into a multibillion dollar company since. Many young millennials jump start careers off of this platform as well. Since social media is becoming such a prevalent form of communication and entertainment investment, many teenagers and young adults find that it is easy to use and can make you money.
From an economic standpoint, YouTube allows you to make money off of ads and sponsorships from brand that see the content you are making. Having a social media presence can get you very far with platforms like YouTube because brands want to see that and then invest money and time into you so you can be a face of the company. It reminds me of internet modeling almost. I think that if you can make a career for yourself by uploading videos to the internet, you should do it. It teaches you skills like video editing, sound editing, and picture editing. It also teaches you how to sensor yourself and be brand friendly, as well as manage yourself financially alone. So much more goes into having a YouTube channel than you may think, and if you can be successful doing so, you might as well try!
Something else that is great about the platform is that the content is endless. Ever heard of metaphorically jumping down a rabbit hole of a certain subject? Slime videos, tik toks, baking videos, fashion or make up videos, or even car videos. A huge trend in the content seen on YouTube is gaming now as well, especially with the invention and investment in VR, gamers can just record themselves playing video games or streaming and post it to make money.
It can also teach you valuable lessons: like how to handle yourself professionally, dealing with brands and companies, as well as copyright material. Overall, especially for someone who is younger, it can teach a lot of valuable lessons while appealing to what the youngest generation knows best: social media advertising.
