You asked for it! Here are your 16 Next Vloggers...
Tuesday, May 8, 2012
Since launching,
YouTube Next Creator
has helped chefs cook up better videos, trainers get more people into shape and non-profits extend the reach of their causes. So figuring out which category to tackle, well, next, was a bit of a challenge. Rather than deciding ourselves, we asked you to make the tough decision for us. With a resounding cry, you told us, “
BRING US NEXT VLOGGER
!”
Not only is vlogging one of the most popular forms of expression on YouTube, but selecting Next Vlogger also resulted in more applications than we’ve received for any previous Next Creator program. Bravo! Although, that still left us with some tough decisions...
After much debate and many sleepless nights, we’re excited to introduce you to the 16 Next Vloggers:
From sports recaps to music parodies, book reviews to space lions, gaming tips to Smurf collecting, advice and self-empowerment to Pokemon mastery, and even some stuff that can’t be categorized, these vloggers--like the art of vlogging--literally touch on every content category.
Fun bunch, huh? In total,
they’ve racked up more than 125 million views
. Not a shabby start, but like most YouTube creators, they’re eager to reach even more people. To help them get there, the Next Vloggers will participate in three months of trainings via Google+ Hangouts, including mentoring from top YouTube vloggers and content creators,
iJustine
and Natalie Tran from
communitychannel
, and receive $5,000 worth of video equipment and $10,000 worth of promotion on and off YouTube. Subscribe to their channels to follow them on their journey over the next few months and beyond.
Not a vlogger but still want to gain some skills to help you go from zero to hero...views? You’re in luck because we’re kicking off some rad YouTube Creator Workshops that cover a wide range of topics from “
Introduction to Cinematography
” to “
Improving Your Channel with YouTube Analytics
.” You can check out the
YouTube Creator Events site
to see the calendar of workshops that you can attend via Google+ Hangouts on Air from the
YouTube Creators page
.
Vlog on!
