My name is Aaron and today's episode on Impulse, we got another awesome YouTuber that's going to explain to you guys how in the world he did it, he got so huge. He's doing scary videos just like Fight Knights of Freddy and Slender and all the other crazy games that caused you to just blow out of your seat. His name is Blast Famous HD and we're going to dive right into his mind and figure out how in the world he did it through a live interview. This one you're going to see me. It's going to be pretty crazy and pretty intense. So hope you guys enjoyed this. Trust me guys, you're going to love this YouTuber. He is nuts, office rocker, super entertaining, full of energy. This was a very fun interview to do. Not that I'm saying the other one's fun, but this one was very interesting and I had a lot of fun doing it. So here we go. Straight to the interview. Have you guys enjoyed? What was the video that you definitely knew caused a big buzz in your audience that you started succeeding on YouTube? That's a really, really good one. It was one of my first videos. It was literally the first Let's Play I ever did. It ended up a Smosh Gaming. They had this contest type thing going, whereas you would send in your videos and if it was good enough, it would get on their channel, which is how I got like my first 15,000 subscribers. It was my first ever Let's Play of the last of us. And I was just cursing up the store the whole time, man, but I'm really good at putting myself in other people's shoes. So the commentating was really, really good. And all the big guys over at Smosh, they were like, oh my God, Dujer, you're going to get big. Man, this is great. I love this. But it was a lot of cursing. I was talking a lot of crap. It was, it was like, it's really funny too because Smosh Games is more like a family friendly channel. Yeah. I'm just over there and when they show the clip and you can go and watch this on their channel. I'm just saying the N word and every last other word is the F word, the N word. And you watch it on their channel and they're just beeping like half the video they showed was just beeping, beeping, beeping, beeping. What do you, what would you say is like the biggest ingredients or the biggest factor that involves growing a successful channel? I would have to say it would be vision. You have to know what you want, you know? Know what you want, basically have your goal in mind and then just go after it, man, like no excuses, dude. Like literally, I got to my first 100,000 subscribers. I told you, I'm using the trial version of Camtasia 8, using the broken Yeti mic, a broken Xbox 360, a fricking broken pawn shop camera that hardly fricking works. I'm using the HD PVR 2 that only records half the time. Like screen, screen capturing software that doesn't, I'm using action paralysis and bandy cam, that crap, hardly fricking works. Like you'll take videos and half the time it won't fricking take. And you know what I mean? But all it is broken equipment. If you just, you just tell it, you know, you got to put the time in, man. Every these days, everyone is so focused on, you know, I want it now. We're microwave society. I want it now. I want it now. No one wants to put in the fricking hard work. It's hard fricking work. Okay. Random question. Who's your celebrity bromance? Oh, that's, that's terrible because I hope, I know, right? Oh, the guy, they never see this. All right. Um, okay. I think it's, I think it's like two guys, two guys. Okay. This is horrible. Okay. Um, I would say would be daystorm power. He's a, uh, I don't know if you heard of him. He's a bigger. No, I know who he is. Yeah, I say that because, uh, he came from, you know, somewhat of the same type of background as me and, you know, he, he was able to do it. You know, he just, you know, he's one of those guys that you're like, dude, if he can do it, man, you know, it really just lets you know it can be done. And, uh, another guy would have to be laser corn over at Smosh games for the simple fact that, you know, when I was first starting out, man, it's a lot of ambiguity. You don't know if your channel is going to do well. I didn't know if I was going to do well. I'm sitting like, man, like, you know, like, man, what am I doing? This is going to do well. And then when he, when he picked my videos, like he put me on their channel like five, six times. And then, and then after he did that, you know, the last time he picked me, he's like, bro, like, you know, this guy is going to get big. This guy is going to do really well. And you know, when someone who is that high up is, you know, on a three million subscriber channel telling you that you're, you're going to be in places, you know, I mean, like, you know, all the people, all the naysayers, all the douche bags, all the lack of support, that stuff doesn't matter, man. You know, when someone is that high up and they're behind you a hundred percent, you know, that, you know, I mean, that, that really helped. So what has been your favorite moment throughout your YouTube adventure? Favorite moment. Oh my God, man, freaking VidCon. Oh, yeah. Did you have like your own meet and greet station there? And I didn't, it wasn't even, I didn't have a meet and greet. Like people were running up and recognizing me and I only had like 30k subscribers and like 27,000. And people were recognizing me and that was, that was crazy to me. But that, the craziest part had to be the Baker party, man. It went, it was so hard, it went so hard, man. Oh wow. That's cool. Oh, that's really cool. I still have never been to VidCon, but definitely would love to go. I didn't even need to talk to George about maybe freedom going to VidCon, maybe in the near future here. That'd be sweet. One thing that I'm interested in, and a lot of people in the Freedom family usually are interested in this as well, because I see it in the comments. It's, it's different ways to grow like your YouTube brand. Like, did you use anything else besides just uploading content after content after content? Did you use anything like Twitter, Facebook, any other social media sites? Did you use a website? Did you use like your own app? Anything like that? Man, oh, dude, when I first, when I first started out, I tried everything. I'm talking Twitter, Keek, Keek, freaking Facebook. I mean, if you can think it as a social platform, I tried. I mean, forums, you know, yeah, nothing freaking worked. You know, nothing worked on my first channel because this is my second channel. Technically, this is my third channel. My second channel didn't do nothing with my first channel that only got up to like 2,500 subscribers. I used to go into popular people's channels and like, tell people to subscribe to me. I was, I was that guy. I was, I was that guy. Okay. Okay. But this was way before then, by the time I started this channel, man, that was already outlawed and banned. You could not do that. Right. Yeah. Um, I tried Twitter. Um, no, nothing else other than just making YouTube content. All right, guys, hope you enjoyed learning a lot from blasphemous HD. To be honest, his originality caused him to be completely huge. The scarecams, the concept of the face cam and everything.
