vidIQ's Rob Wilson: How to Go Full Time as a YouTuber
For many years, just like many of you, I made videos on YouTube in my spare time. Desperately trying to find a niche in the highly competitive tech sector. Well let's face it, every sector on YouTube is highly competitive.
Eventually I stumbled upon the topic of How to Record Your IPhone Screen. It sounds pretty mundane I know but nobody else was doing it and YouTube decided I was the authority on the subject. And my channel quadrupled in size. But in between all of this, I did one tiny tutorial on a vidIQ tool. Tweeted it out to my audience and thought nothing more of it.
Within 24 hours, the real boss of vidIQ had contacted me, loved my work, and wanted me to do more. 12 months, 50 videos and one work visa later vidIQ offered me the chance of a lifetime. To transfer my hobby, my passion, my extra money on the side into a full-time career. I thought about it for all of 2 seconds and said yes.
18 months, 250 videos, 7 conferences, 10 million views, and 300,000 subscribers later, you know what? I think I made the right choice.
