Hello Chris, My name is George Alegre. I'm 16, about to be 17, I live in Argentina, and I lived 5 years in LA when I was young. That's how I learned to speak English so well. I have been all my life a technology fanatic and enthusiast and I remember in 2008 I got my first MacBook (which I sold a year ago) and since that moment I have created my own YouTube channel ("giorgio1apple" is my username). I started making videos in my channel related to Mac apps, tutorials and guides for people. You, along with SoldierKnowsBest and Jon4Lakers where my inspiration for my videos. I wanted to become a person who could talk on the internet and people would care about MY opinion. Anyways, 3 years after I created my first video and uploaded it to YouTube, I now have around 1750 subscribers on my channel and I have become a partner so I'm making a little bit of money to. Now I have a PC and an iPad. I also have a Sony NEX 5 DSLR. I know A LOT about technology and gadgets and science and everything in between and my objective is to become popular in YouTube, make a living out of it if I can, but basically have fun making my videos and sharing them on the web. I began filming iPad app reviews 2 months ago because I knew that there was a lot of demand for good videos about good apps for the iPad. I got in touch with around 80 companies so far and they have all sent me product codes for me to review their apps. I have also received 2 emails from companies asking me to be their partners and review their apps without me asking so that also increased my self steam a lot. On the other hand, I contacted many companies to receive gadgets to review, like iPad stands and accesories, I contacted Think Geek, a company that creates solar panels for charging usb devices, Monster headphones and a few more. I haven't got that much success on that side. I suppose it's because I live so far away. I also received my first Google AdSense check the other day which made me realize how amazing the internet can be. Anyways I think I'm rambling too much. I wanted to contact you because I know that you are very popular on the internet, everyone knows you and they listen to what you say which is the most important part of it all. I wanted to know if you could give me some tips to what I should do to keep growing faster and faster. I upload videos as fast as my internet allows me to. I have my main channel (giorgio1apple) which is called Everything Tech and Software and there I am currently uploading videos about iPad apps, tutorials and tricks, Windows programs and tutorials, giveaways, unboxings of whatever tech product I receive, reviews, and game gameplays. I want to also start uploading Mac app reviews, specially now that Mac app developers can send promo codes. I also have the idea of talking about any tech related article I read in the internet so that people have a video and not text to get their info from. And I would also like to for example upload once a week, a video showing my favorite website and what it is about and something like that. And I also have another idea of creating a new channel where I would talk about science related articles I read in magazines here in Argentina because I think it would be very interesting. So there you go, there I explained who I am, what I do, and where I want to go with what I'm doing. I hope you have the time to read this and help me out or give me some advice for me and my ideas. I would highly appreciate it if you would reply to this email. My Twiiter and YouTube channel is in the bottom. Thank you very much for your help, I love your videos, I'm a huge fan of them and whatever you tell me, I will keep in mind. -- Follow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/georgealegre I speak English |
Chris does not read a lot of questions on Lockergnome.net. As a matter of fact, I choose the questions for his videos.
Please don't just direct it to just Chris and it is best to stick to just the question on this site
