 Alright everybody, what is going on? Welcome back to another video. Today's video, you know, I'm hoping will bring in... Don't you know I'm doing a video? I'm hoping today's video will bring in an influx of new subscribers, new viewers, people that are wondering exactly what happens when you do reach 100,000 subs. Because the reality is that you can watch your social blade, you can see it, you know, go over to 100,000. And nothing happens guys, nothing, nothing happens. So it's going to be up to you as a creator to be vigilant, to be proactive and to make sure YouTube knows that your channel has hit 100,000 subs. So what happened to me guys, a bit of a story time. I hit 100,000 subs probably about a month ago. And I feel absolutely ecstatic about it. It's phenomenal. My channel has had a huge run up. You know they talk about the exponential growth curve. Not only in, you know, YouTube growth but other things as well. It's true. Okay, once you hit 1000 subs, it starts going a little bit faster. Once you hit 10,000 subs, it starts going a little bit faster. And once you see a niche in the YouTube market, the YouTube space and take it and you're the only creator making a certain type of video, which is exactly what happened to me, then it's really, really going to go up. Obviously your content has to be of quality. But the way I do my content, it's not edited. It's not highly edited. And I feel like I've done that, you know, I've been that way from the start. Okay. Like for example, I just started just then. But I'm going to keep it in my video because it makes it a whole lot more real. So that's the type of content creator I am. Okay, my name is Jacob McDonald. I've had this YouTube channel for six years. We've hit 100,000 subs. So I'm going to do something real special today, man. I am going to redeem my 100,000 YouTube subscriber creator award this morning on camera with the screen recorder going so you can see exactly what happens. This video is going to be titled, What Happens? What Exactly Happens When You Hit 100,000 Subs? And so that's what we're going to look at. I saved this moment for today so that we could do it together on camera. So let's do that. Actually, I do want to say first that YouTube, for whatever reason, my channel was missed. I don't know why. It's either going to be due to a copyright strike that you've got. Your channel needs to be in good stead with YouTube. Mine is. For whatever reason, it was skipped. I don't know why. But all it took was for me to get in touch with someone at YouTube through their little virtual assistant chat box. So I actually had to reach out to YouTube and get their attention and explain to them that I have reached 100,000 subs and how come I haven't received any notification or whatever. So if your channel rolls over, everything happens right. YouTube checks it. It's fine. It's been deemed eligible to receive your Creator Award. You will receive an email in your email address that is associated with your YouTube account and it will provide you with a redemption code which I click on. I take that code. I put it in. I put my delivery address in and then I receive the award. Apparently. That's what we're about to do today. So I've got the email. Finally, I had to request it but I've got it. We've got the redemption code. I'm about to click on it and get my motherfucking reward. So let's do that. Now I don't know what I'm going to be able to show you in these emails. I might have to, you know, blur out a few things. But basically, I'm going to read this email to you and then we're going to go and redeem my award. Hi, Jacob. Hi, mate. I hope all is well.
