"On YouTube we find that authenticity and storytelling tend to be more important than the quality of the video."

My Blog's Outro

An outro means to conclude. Most YouTubers create outros for the end of their videos.
So, that's what I'm doing here today, I'm making an outro for my blog.
This is the last blog post that I'll be making. I hope you've enjoyed the posts that I've made and I hope you've learned a little from each one.

Throughout my blog, I hope you've learned what YouTube is, and how it changes millions of lives. I hope you've appreciated the tips I gave about Youtubers to subcribe to, as well as the different types of YouTube videos. I hope that my blog gave you the courage and the inspiration you might have been lacking to make a YouTube account and to start posting videos. Most importantly, I hope you've realized that YouTube is more than just a website, it's a community filled with people who love doing what they're doing. It's filled with people who want to reach out to others and spread a smile on their face. It's a community where everybody is welcome.


I recommend YouTube to everyone. Although, to those who are younger, I advise permission from a parent since there are a few steps to follow in order to stay safe on YouTube. So, what are you waiting for? Start watching videos that inspire you, make you laugh, help you to spark your creativity, help you to learn, and even more. You could even start by making a YouTube channel, in order to offer those types of videos to others. Image the impact you could have on a viewer's life.





Thank you to all of you who've commented on my blog posts, giving me suggestions, advice, and compliments. I've taken all of your words into heart and I've gladly improved my blog along the way. I'm sorry this blog had to end so soon - until next time!

The different types of YouTube Videos - collab channels

Hey guys! Today I'll be talking about one last type of video on YouTube - collabs!
Collab videos are shared between two or more people. Lots of YouTubers love to invite guests (some of them being other popular YouTubers) on their channel to be present in one of their videos. Together, they could do any video they would like: the topics are endless! When I watch YouTube collab videos, the two YouTubers tend to do exciting challenges together like the Chubby Bunny Challenge, the 7 Second Challenge, the Cotton Ball Challenge, the Whisper Challenge, or the Best Friend/Boyfriend Tag. I love watching these types of videos because they're very funny and entertaining.











One of my favourite challenge videos was the "Stuff Your Mouth" challenge by Zoella and Thatcher Joe (whom I've mentioned in one of my previous blog posts). In my opinion, the video is hilarious - it made me cry because I was laughing so hard. Their video currently has 4,036,815 views! Here's the video clip if you'd like to watch it:
Have you ever heard of collab channels? A collab channel is a channel on YouTube that is shared between roughly 5 members. Each person has an assigned day of the week where they post one video ever week on that day. Which means, by the end of each week, there would be 5 new videos on the channel. I believe a lot of people like collab channels for that reason: they're always able to watch new content within a short period of time. One of the collab channels I used to watch very often was Our2ndlife's channel, which consisted of Kian Lawley, JC Caylen, Trevor Moran, Sam Potorff, and Ricky Dillon (Connor Franta and Ricardo Ordieres are past members of the O2L family). They have recently decided to stop making new videos on the Our Second Life channel because their lives are becoming busier. Although, all of their past videos are still available to watch on their channel. Here's a link to their channel if you'd like to check out some of their old videos :
