 I was just at a stoplight, refreshed YouTube, because I'm just excited and sure enough, we did it. We did it. 2,000 subscribers, you guys are amazing. I wish I could shake every single person's hand, but if you are here, type 2,000 down in the comments and let me know like you're new and just say hello because I wanna get to know you and I wanna be here for you. And speaking of that, today's vlog is all about the road to 1,000. So stay tuned, hashtag a road to 1,000 coming up but bottom line, we're grateful. Let's recap, April 11th, 2016. This daily vlog goes live. I have not missed publishing a video in 926 days. Now I don't say that to toot my own horn. I say that because I'm a normal guy and you guys out there watching all you creators, all you YouTubers, like you probably have a mortgage or you're paying rent or you have a normal job and you're wondering like, how am I gonna make it on YouTube when I have all these other responsibilities? Well, I've got those responsibilities too. And so why I'm telling you this is that I know, I know you guys can do this too. What I've done, the road to 1,000. I want to talk specifically to all of the no small creators out there, everyone that's fighting tooth and nail to publish often, if not every single day. From this channel, the hashtag road to 1,000 is in reference to the fact that we are moving forward to 1,000 daily vlogs in a row. We're at 927, as I already mentioned, like we're moving forward. But this is two-fold and pay attention. Okay, for your channel, maybe you are at 100 subscribers and you can get that custom URL on YouTube. Maybe you're at 250, maybe you're at 900. I don't know, but you are fighting. And I know you are grinding every day and night editing, trying to publish creative and great content for your fan base. But it helps so much. It helps so much to cross that 1,000 subscriber threshold. As this channel rapidly approaches 1,000 daily vlogs in a row, I want you to know that I am here to help you. But I can only help you get to 1,000 subscribers if I know you're uploading on a regular basis. So how are we gonna do this? As often as you'd like, as often as you'd like me to come visit your channel and visit your videos and comment and engage with your content, use the hashtag in the description, hashtag road to 1,000. And that will alert me every single day. I will check, I promise I will check that hashtag. And then go to your channel, click on your videos and watch and engage with your content. And if you'd like, if you'd like, I can give you tips, ideas on how to improve your filming, improve your vlogging, improve your how-to videos, or just like your overall branding on your YouTube channel. So that is the strategy here behind the hashtag. Put it in the description of all your videos that you'd like me to come visit moving forward and we'll do this and we'll make this happen and we will grow together on YouTube. I've seen a lot of creators throw in the towel over the last two to three months. And I think we've got to remember as YouTubers that patience is one of the most important ingredients out there, like it just doesn't happen over night. Now some people do grow very quickly, you know that. Like, they have a viral video and boom, they have 5,000 subscribers and that's amazing. But for many of us, especially the no small creators, you gotta grind and you gotta work and you gotta be patient. So I just gotta mention that to you guys. Let's try and put patience into everything we do on YouTube and the editing and the filming every single day. How can I help you? Three ways, three ways. Motivation, strategy and yes, commenting on your videos. Every single one that has the hashtag road to 1,000. That is my game plan, moving forward for you, all right? I'm here for you and I guess what? I think you're here for me and that's what it takes to create a community, to create a YouTube family and to help each other because it's hard. You know it's hard, the algorithm's hard, YouTube is hard, daily vlogging is hard. But if we stick together, I know we can accomplish amazing things. Creators, we got motivation covered, we got comments covered through the hashtag road to 1,000 but what about strategy? It's all about strategy on YouTube sometimes, okay? If you want to learn more about what it takes from a strategic standpoint to improve your YouTube channel meaning watch time, comments, retention rates, all of these analytics that YouTube is tracking on your channel, go check out the playlist up at right-hand corner or down below in the description. I have four videos up there now and every week I'm adding to that archive. Go check it out if you have time, if you have time. All right, here we go. Road to 1,000 crew, is anyone else out there busy? Holy smokes, I have like 23 minutes to get a workout in so I found a hill here in Denver and I'm just gonna sprint up it as many times as I can because that's all I got time for. It's probably about three or 400 meters. If you have a moment, if you're not too busy, type busy down in the comments. Whoa, it's crazy putting on the soloments. As I want to wear the vapor flies, I got to save them a little bit. Just got to save that foam. It's awesome. I've lived here for three years in Colorado but 10 years in Denver and I never knew this trail existed. It's only 1.75 miles around in one loop but it's probably a half mile to the top so a half mile sprint uphill if you're looking for a good hill workout and you only have 28 minutes to get it done, this is the place to come, Ruby Hill. That was awesome. All right, time to go home, eat dinner. If you could only see the charging station over here to my right and I'm recharging. I gotta recharge all the batteries so I can do this again tomorrow so we can continue this road to 1,000 vlogs in a row because you're here supporting and commenting and just being here, it's amazing. It's amazing and I'm excited to help you guys get to 1,000 subscribers, all the No Small Creators out there. Anyone, frankly, that's interested in pursuing dreams, making progress in their life and helping others. In whatever way, maybe it's through teaching someone how to make a quilt through YouTube. Maybe it's through teaching someone how to have a positive mindset when they're sad or I don't know, there's so many different ways to help others on YouTube and hopefully, hopefully I can give a little bit back to you guys. See, beauty, work hard.
