HOW I STARTED:
In 2008, me and my neighbor decided to make a YouTube account for little pointless videos involving topics which I mostly do not do any more. We were so happy when our first video was successfully uploaded to YouTube. Now what. What could we do to make this an even cooler channel. well I started posing more than regular and soon started to attract some viewers. I then started to make tutorials of topics which I was very good at such as emulators, binary files, editing software(Sony Vegas) and the internet in general. I started to attract even more viewers. It was going great.


   In late 2009, I applied for a partnership. It took 2 months for YouTube to respond back saying I didn't meet the full requirements. I was very ashamed of myself. After about 5 months i applied again and was yet again denied. I decided to just give up and maybe try later. I then looked at the requirements and found out that I wasn't anywhere close to them. And I knew what I had to do. In 2010, I applied again. This time YouTube accepted it. I was officially a partner. (YAY) And I have been making money ever since.
