 Welcome to the george show special episode with gloco. Yo, what's up guys? My name is gloco gloco is the guy who started his gaming house, which we helped fund along with many of you who donated to him Today we're going to hear his story gloco Tell us a little bit about yourself first. Okay, so guys. I am known as probably the craziest filipino gamer in youtube right now I'm here. I'm now around Close to 40,000 subscribers. I started with freedom two years ago and now I'm here And it feels really great and now thanks to you guys who helped out the pinoy squad We're now building a gaming house just to make more content for you the supporters of the pinoy squad Didn't know he has a gaming house click that eye to see the video Where you get to see his reaction to getting funded When I made that final donation Now tell us a little bit about What you're going to do with the gaming house? What are you going to play there? How many people are going to be there and is it full time? Okay, so First off the game what we are going to do there will be more I've been doing gaming videos for the past two years Now in this gaming house, although it is a gaming house We're not just going to concentrate on gaming videos. We're going to go for what's actually really trendy right now in the geek community We're going to do some reviews about maybe tech reviews anime reviews And also some comedy skits social experiments. That's also that's also related to something more geeky It's like anime social experiments or video game social experiments and also Almost everything that we've wanted to do in the past that we have we weren't able to do We're going to do it. We're just going to throw all our ideas there in content creation And then we're just going to surprise you guys with all the crazy stuff. We're going to do That's when is the gaming house going to launch? Okay, so the gaming um According to my landlord it's constructing the house right now It's probably going to take from now three weeks and then it's going to be done I'm going to go there again to give you guys an update and We're planning to move in to the gaming house around end of october or maybe first week of november and that's where we're going to start operations right away How many of you have the dream of having a gaming house? Many of you think that's impossible. I can't do it. Well, gloco is your motivation Because he's done it from very humble beginnings to Now a channel with 40k subscribers Look, oh when you started what did you have in terms of subscriber count? view count so just a little backstory guys, so Actually, I didn't know Anything about being a youtuber. I just watched a lot of other youtubers like PewDiePie and all that and I I saw the chance that they're doing something really really fun and they're making a difference in the world right now It's by entertaining people so right after college I graduated from nursing past the boards, but I went straight to youtube with no knowledge at all But during my beginnings what I did was I researched a lot Which is really important research a lot everything that I didn't know before I had to research that from scrap and then apply it to my own ideals And then I when it just came to just making a video My first video was just something like a like a prototype I spread it around to my friends shared it asked for some reviews about it their feedback and then from those feedback I tried to improve myself before I actually fully launched my channel And then once I thought that I was really ready I just gave my 100% All of my videos everything all my beginnings. I gave my 100% to it and then just hope that People would actually watch it, but it didn't really But sad reality like guys Even if you may give your 100% in making those content you really have to Spread it around and during my beginnings Maybe half of my day was done for Was given for content creation and then half of my day Was really spent on spreading around my content sharing it on facebook joining different groups And telling my other my other classmates or friends like can you spread this around and then it's um, so I was just really confident with my content, but I still lack the advertisement and the the factor of just making people know about it. So That's for those who are starting right now as a youtuber you'll probably Experience the same thing But the most important thing that kept me going because even it was it was really hard at first But really what kept me going was just the fun of doing it you have to really have fun doing stuff Doing your content and also you have to really work hard in Advertising that okay. It's gonna take a lot of your time, but it's gonna be really worth it. Some people stop halfway through I didn't I just went through it and then I just saw that maybe in the long run It's gonna do something so just believe in yourself if you're confident with what you have Just keep going and you'll be rewarded never give up exactly never give up I keep hearing that every time when I was And I was starting off with freedom and then that really kept me going guys So everything that George has shared to everyone for the past two years I applied that and this is where I I I've gone into and I'm having the time of my life like seriously Yeah, gloco is one of the First examples that I get to see in person who's done Who's made the dream happen? He went from doing a job that he didn't particularly love Uh gloco taught english online to japanese students To quitting that and starting gaming full-time three months ago He's a full-time gamer for just three months And how much are you making from your youtube channel? Is it enough to pay your bills? It's enough to pay my bills Just some just my bills for now and then um, but Well cost of living here is that is not that not that high, but yeah guys um during my past My past earnings from youtube. I was able to pay my bills And I was able to also pay for my food and everything else, but it's not really Enough to do some other luxurious things, but it's okay. All right That's what you're building it up to. Okay, so that's why once I knew that I can pay my bills with my youtube earnings Uh, the only thing left was to just keep making content and keep growing All right, so like what george said, I taught english to japanese students for maybe when I was starting as a youtuber When i'm rendering a video, I will do my job and then It's a sad reality, but you really need to support yourself as well if you're if you plan to be an independent creator So yeah humble beginnings, but it was all worth it So I have some suggestions. I've shown you gloco the office. Yes, and we have lots of empty space Yeah a lot guys. It's really big. This office is really big guys So of course we want to fill it not just with developers, but also people who make content we have several rooms that are dedicated to being a green room where it's got like soundproofing it has A camera everything is in green so you can just sit down and start live streaming or sit down and start making a video Why not spend some of your time here I Spend my time like what? So I spend my time like uh, I can come visit and then do stuff or work here What Have another camera, but What are you trying to say george? We've always wanted to find people who've Done it just like you have and then hopefully Ask them to come here to build a team of not just Their own friends like you're doing but actually be the role model that would allow other aspiring Gamers and video creators to come here on maybe what we can call a scholarship Ah And be the role model that you just described, but doesn't so it doesn't have to be that hard for the next person In other words if we see someone Someone may be like you who's watching this video Who has a lot of potential who can be the next gloco, but doesn't really have like two years to invest Maybe we can fast-track that if we can give you a content creator scholarship to come here To spend at least six months To try to make it work with our help with our support with our promotional power So that you could become self-sufficient in a lot less time No Okay, so just to make them realize right away all of those two years of experience and then just Drive it into them and then make them realize their potential right away something like that think of it like the content creators boot camp Oh, okay, okay It's like if let's say one of you who's watching feels you could be a deserving member of this boot camp Send us your info down there in the comments below gloco And I will decide if anyone is deserving based on your channel based on what we see Uh, you've already done because we want people who are really trying on their own and just not able to get there yet Then we may invite you if we do this to come here and Do it full time for which We will cover your expenses the scholarship idea right Because we would want another gloco to come out of This exercise and then maybe we'll start a whole school for content creators So that they can get to self-sufficiency They can get to a point where their channel pays their bills once they graduate from here In less time than they could on their own That sounds awesome So I haven't told us the gloco yet. Yeah, this is the first time he's hearing it It's like I'm really confused right now. I have a lot of ideas in my head So the suggestion as your first question was what exactly am I thinking of is Why not be one of the founding members of this scholarship? Where you and the pinoy squad would be Doing your videos and your content from here as well as your gaming house But with the goal of trying to find other people who we could mentor train support That we would help pay for so that they could come here and do this full time And see what happens Sounds awesome sounds awesome guys. I'm willing to do it guys. Okay. Actually really as a content creator myself I know just how hard it is to start off And I know a lot of you guys are really struggling right now But guys if I can help out in any way I can I will and that's actually what Building this freedom is all about guys. We're growing as a community as a family So as a freedom family member, I am willing to do what I can To help you guys out. Okay. That's as long as you also give us your 100 percent dedication to This is the effort we're going to give if ever So when I was speaking to gloco before I started this video, I learned that he is full time But not all of his members are and they're still working towards Paying bills through part-time work so that they could focus on creating content and growing their channel Uh, and eventually go full time. So If we do this, why don't we start with The people you feel are most deserving in your squad That we could have as the initial scholarship fund that would also give you the motivation to To Try to do this for others because we'll start with the people that are most dear to you And then try to open it up to more It's awesome. It's awesome Yeah, I'm up for it. I'm really up for it I'll go talk to the people that I know and then we'll see what you can do. Okay. So My thinking would be There's of course places that we could rent here in eastwood So you could actually live Within like five minutes walking distance from all the production space. So literally you could Have your production space here. We can't sleep on this floor But we can walk downstairs and to the next building and sleep there And then come here to work go there to sleep eat once in a while And then see how quickly we can grow content audiences and train people up That will be awesome That's whoa I'm gonna I I'll have to talk to those people first, but I'm up for it Like if it if it if it freedom covers everything then and then we can just concentrate on concentration Then I think we can really actually do it I think we can yeah, I definitely Yeah, I definitely believe we can do this guys So here's some more specifics of things. I think we would want to do so one would be Set the goal. What's the goal? The goal is to help as many of you achieve independence Do this full time if that's what you want to do in order to do that You don't just need motivation from gloco You also need training. You also need real advice and real feedback so one suggestion I would have is we would have maybe a dedicated time every week or even every day where we would Take a deserving person and let's say they're not here, but we would still give them training yet And we could do perhaps a regular live stream where Anyone can sit in and watch us do the training because that probably would apply to your channel as well So like one of the segments would be Like video school. Yeah Okay, like interview some person and then ask their ask their problem something like that You remember those videos where someone comes to a house that's like run down and then they say we're gonna do a home makeover We're gonna fix your roof. We're gonna fix your driveway. We're gonna fix your internals We'll buy your new furniture Because we believe you're deserving family that just needs a little help to get back on your feet Kind of idea for a channel that we would do it like a channel makeover Oh, okay. Easy. Easy. So of course not we can't bring everyone here but we can do Part of our time would be to spend To find deserving channels and give them that makeover the personal attention do some Do some collaboration videos where we would Make videos on our channels and we would make videos on their channels because what's the fastest way to grow on youtube? collaborations As well as improving banners and thumbnails and social media But the key would be we would collaborate with deserving people to help accelerate their growth That would be one idea we would do like a training session Then of course we would have Like a regular schedule where we would do like gaming videos You know do live streaming That's the fun part And then I'm also thinking we should be Responsible in terms of health Ah, yeah, as well your lifestyle and stuff. So we would have a segment Dedicated to fitness. Yeah Where we could set challenges to say like, all right, we need a benchmark. How many push-ups can you do? You can probably do around 20 So then we would do a challenge with everyone Let's say Everyone needs to submit a video of them doing as many push-ups as they can in one setting And that will be the benchmark And then we will make videos of us exercising regularly on a schedule, which we would ask you the audience to follow So when we're exercising, you're exercising And then every so often we'll do that challenge again. All right, let's do the push-up thing again How many push-ups can you do now? Then we go higher and higher and then we see the growth see the growth So I've actually already started doing that myself and I used to only be able to do like like 15 push-ups But now I'm up to 30 and I hope to eventually get to like 50 and then 100 but that'll be a long time coming But I haven't been filming myself. So one idea would be that We would have the education we'd have the live streaming for gaming and we'd have the fitness segment Again with the intention of involving the audience encouraging them to do the same videos And have everyone get fit together That's Another idea. What other ideas do you have that you think we could do as part of the schedule? Okay, as part of the schedule a little of course, I think I think just something that Just give the video something that you're thankful for for the day just to keep you keep your spirits up Some people wake up every day The but the first thing they they think of is like the negative stuff But when during the past days what I do is and I wake up I video some not really video, but I find something to be proud of or find something to be happy about and then I think once another suggestion would be like to share It's one one thing about my channel that when I started as a youtube content creator. I wanted to share my happiness So part of my plans in the future as well as like a daily vlog of stuff that makes me happy Something like so something that can motivate others Oh, yeah video yourself trying to do something that makes you happy and something that you think will also make people happy if ever I just share the happiness to everyone spread it around keep the spirits up Yeah, and that can be different for each person. Everyone would have something else they're thankful for but it can resonate With others watching. So if you have enough people saying enough personal stories, you're going to cover most Yeah, everyone because if let's say you are just talking about it You may not resonate with everyone, but maybe another person would so that's a good idea I I would certainly join in with that kind of Personal what motivates me? What excites me? Why do I get up in the morning? What I might what am I thankful for? And I'm thinking maybe in the future If this goes well is we could even Create like a school where we could have like a attendance of 20 that people can sign up for and do this kind of training as part of A course And maybe we could work with a local school if we want to make it a real course that they would get credit for Because no one really teaches how to become a content creator That's not a subject in school But maybe we could help make it become a subject because we would be the domain experts. We would have Testimonials of people who've actually done it so we'd be the most qualified to teach it To others so I don't mean just the concept of the scholarship where we would Pay for someone to come here, but I mean actually opening it up to like a school of 20 With like two semesters a year that has a whole curriculum For studying to become a content creator and of course all of the practical stuff in between Mm-hmm So that could be something we could lead to If this goes well hopefully so Glocko will have some thinking to do and of course we'll have some Writing to do to get all the specifics down, but In general the notion is we would like to hire local to be the person running this Video creator school, which we'll have to come up with a cool name for And Also extend that to the Pinoy squad so that as a team They can show us how quickly they can grow with the right support and the right Funding to get there sooner because they are there But not everyone is full-time and they can do a lot more if All of them can work together full-time. I think exactly. That's the whole point of like This pinoy squad thing is more of like The collaboration we've always wanted to do we've been playing together for separately But this is that this is a time that we want to really do everything we can And then collaborate and do the craziest things that we wanted to do just to entertain the people That appreciates our content Uh-huh And then we would very quickly try to find one or two people that we can extend a scholarship to That we want to help get to success with probably at least a six month commitment because I don't think it can take less than six months. Yeah probably but The goal would be You'd be done when your channel revenue Equals what you need to pay your bills so you can do this full-time Or that we feel you're not listening to our advice and we kick you out So hopefully that won't happen But of course we would want to find someone who's committed And who's going to stay the course and if you don't well, we have to find someone else You understand So Given those general terms What do you think? So right now it's uh, what do you call this? I don't really know what to say about it Like it's all this this news is coming up in my head. It's still jumbled up But the um, but I can see a clear view actually of what George wants to do for you guys And for the future content creators of freedom And uh, what do you call it? It's not what do you call this? It's not going to involve too much technicalities, but What i'm going to teach you ever is something that the essential stuff the reality If I have to be frank to be frank to you guys Or if I have to be Yeah, brutally honest with what I need to tell you in order to improve your channel. I will Okay, so I I'm not saying I'm an expert right now, but Um, what do you call it? I've been watching youtube For and watch and following a lot of youtube content creators for as long as I can remember and Uh, I think I have a kind of like a general knowledge of what people actually want to see In order to grow your channel or to get that tension that you need in order to start off and be kind of successful Well, gloco is a 40k rank YouTuber or teacher Just like you have a rank in games. Well, let's use your subscriber count as the rank you've achieved So gloco is a 40k instructor Yeah, I'm sure we can find more Yeah Accurate ways to measure gloco's like expertise level compared to others who may become teachers in this video school But yeah, we We've never had anything like this. We've kind of been training people through video only. Yeah, there's no like personal interaction Uh, but this would be the start of what I hope to become A real video school with real interactions with like real scholarship programs with real graduates and Helping everybody who wants to do the work to make their dreams come true In less time than it took local Yeah, so guys good luck to everyone And then so we're people watching right now. I know you guys are hyped up about this, but you know, uh I hope you guys still continue what you're doing right now and Um, if I could give an advice for everyone Doing uh starting off or struggling right now Just do your research Even if you have to do it on your own do not underestimate researching Also, try not to slack off. I know how how it is whenever you wake up sometimes and then you want to make videos But sometimes you're lazy about it Try not to try to motivate yourself try to discipline yourself and also set a goal for it's really important set a goal and also Advertise like crazy Share your stuff around you can't have the best content in the world But if nobody's watching it or if you don't let anyone know about it Then it's going to be pointless or going to have a hard time. So do not underestimate self advertising And also the most important thing have fun with it. Okay. Enjoy yourself. I had this because um There was this time was really frustrated about myself Sometimes you when you once you grow or sometimes you wake up in the morning. Oh, yeah, I need to make a video I don't have a video That that's not the kind of mindset you have to in that you need. Okay, it's going to reflect on the video The your fans your viewers will see that So you really need when you're making a video make sure you're 100 percent Uh into it. Okay And And if you're happy with your video if you enjoyed your video then most uh, then most probably your viewers will also enjoy it Okay, do not be afraid to Give your all-out personality and your videos because that's your best selling point All right, we have an audience So thank you guys for watching this special episode of the george show where we've introduced gloco and An idea to start a game school a video school not just for gaming But it'll start as gaming because we have gamers here But uh gloco also told me he doesn't want to do just gaming content He wants to do geek culture anime reviews tech reviews things like a variety show or something That's my ultimate goal actually Things that don't just include gaming so Let's see where we take this guys Are you excited for this?
