Here’s the 20/20 story on YouTubers. Read about Obama Girl and David & Dentist. My favorite part of this is Joe Penna’s story. Here’s me meeting Penna the first time… (I totally didn’t know it was him until the shades went on).
Wow- I am just realizing how sweet that NextUp program is… I spoke to them in NYC but didn’t really understand all the free goods and cash they get. Mmmm.
Here’s the e-mail I just found in my box. Whoops.
35 grand for those NextUp peeps? That’s quite an investment. What would you do with that kind of cash, Kev?
This can’t be true, you don’t read your email.
I totally wish my Youth Questions channel would’ve been a finalist for Next Up. Alas, I build it myself instead. There was a lot of really stiff competition for votes with top YouTuber plugging their friends. Although, a couple of the winners I can’t see how they possibly got enough votes. Like, one girl’s video only had 200-some views, it wasn’t very good, and her channel had less than 200 subscribers! How’d she win?
