 Hey, what up guys up here and welcome to a brand-new episode of the dream now This is a series where I help all you youtubers with your goals your tips I give you guys advice and my experiences to help you guys live your dreams today and become the most successful YouTuber you can possibly be that's the goal That's the dream so in today's episode. We are gonna be talking about shout outs now I know a lot of us can relate to this I've actually had the privilege to be in both sides of the spectrum in terms of shout outs when I first started YouTube I would be the one always asking for a shout out always commenting on people's videos asking for a shout out Tweeting them Facebooking them all that good stuff asking them for a shout out And now I'm grateful to be on the other side of the spectrum where people sent me a request to give them a shout out They tweet me they Facebook me they inbox me the YouTube message me they comment and they email me They do all this asking for a shout out So it's really cool to be in both sides of the spectrum and I really feel like I can relate to a lot of you guys because I was once The dude who did that now this is the thing about shout outs, right? I used to do it I asked all these random people and I feel like if you guys do it is very common It's very possible you asked your favorite youtuber for a shout out You want that shout out because a shout out can do work for you men If you can get a shout out or a dual com with somebody or they can share their video It can really help you get some subscribers that you never thought you would get in and in a very short amount of time So the key to shout outs the key to getting your video shared is I'll tell you this straight up is not for Asking someone repeatedly and just begging them for a shout out. That's not gonna happen That's honestly not gonna happen. You know I just learned the hard way when I did that I would never get a shout out. I would never have somebody share my video It was just really really hard for that to happen and you know, they they remember stuff like that So that is something I definitely Try I say try staying away from because you just it's not it's most likely not going to happen But don't lose fear dude. There's a way there's a way that you can get your video shared You can actually get a shout out You can even maybe get a dual com something we've always wanted or a video with another youtuber and the way to do that is Build a friendship with the other person and that's the best way to do it, man You know when you when you want to talk to your favorite youtuber a youtuber in general Don't don't have the sole purpose of getting a shout out actually try talking to them man Ask them a question about what they do ask them stuff like that make them engage with you man In terms of you know, maybe playing a video game with you getting closer Maybe getting that follow from them in which you can talk to them about personal matters or just matters about a video game or A life in general the more you talk to them the more you interact with the youtuber the more they start to get a custom And I'm on Skype man Maybe get a call sometime make a big group chat and get get in that group chat too and then slowly I'm telling you I'm really telling you this is so true because here's a here's a true story man I know a lot of youtubers in my genre of video games in which I play which is sports But I really I just know of them But recently we made a Skype Skype chat and we all added each other man YouTube is ranging from 500 subscribers to having over 200,000 subscribers man. We made the group chat and Slowly by slowly after calls and chats and calls and chats and all night calls and all night chats and hours of chatting crazy stuff going on We are so close now. We are literally friends. I've shared so many of their videos. They've shared so many of my videos I like theirs they like minds you build a community you build friendship So that is what I recommend to you guys man my first shout out dude I actually ended up adding the friend on Skype on Twitter. We talked a little bit about the NBA We we got closer and then he noticed my videos. He saw that I was working hard He saw that I had a lot of commitment dedication something you guys need and once he saw that and noticed that even though We weren't the closest of friends. He did respect my dedication He did respect my work ethic and he gave me a like he gave me a shout out So even if you don't become the best of friends with them as long as they know who you are and they could See that you're working hard and you're putting work in you're you're gonna get a like you're gonna get a thumbs up You're gonna get something man. You're gonna get a share Maybe even a follow or a favor, but it is something it's a stat my friends So the number one thing to do is be consistent Show that you have what it takes to become the best you to be you can be Be you know be confident in your work and don't be don't be a beggar Don't be a beggar and be a be a friend It's better to be a friend than a beggar because the friend will have the leverage over the beggar So that's what I have to say that is my few cents to everybody watching this video I'm speaking from straight up experience on this one man.
