How I'm getting famous and how you can too!

Last weekend I went to the first annual VloggerFair – a festival to celebrate everything to do with vlogging. If you’re not really sure what vlogging is, it’s basically the video version of writing a blog post. Typically vloggers are known as the people who go out and document their lives (often on a daily [...]

Last year I was the closing keynote speaker at the TGC conference in Victoria, BC.  It’s an annual event put on by Canada’s LGBT Tourism Industry Association.  One of the people in attendance was the owner of FunMaps, a company that’s been creating paper maps of gay friendly travel destinations for many years.  They were [...]

2012 was a great year for me in a lot of ways, but especially with managing to achieve one of my goals of being a public speaker.  Who knew that this goofy comedian would actually be someone that people in the business community wanted to listen to?  I managed to book myself more than a [...]

This Monday was Project for Awesome (or P4A for short), the time every year (since 2007) when YouTube content creators come together to promote a charity or cause and try to get the rest of the community on the website involved in raising money and making a difference. Last year I focused my video on [...]

This year I’ve had the opportunity to speak to a number of groups in Vancouver, BC about YouTube marketing. They’ve all been based around how entrepreneurs, small business owners & marketers can better use YouTube (the second largest search engine) to get their companies / brands / clients exposure and turn viewers into customers. This [...]

This year I’ve been doing a lot of talks at different organizations in Vancouver, BC about using YouTube as a marketing tool.  It seems that the small business community here is really becoming aware of what an incredible resource YouTube can be for companies to get exposure online and turn that exposure into clients and [...]

My favourite times of the year are when I get to head to the states to mix and mingle with others who share my passion for online video, and specifically YouTube.  I just got back from Playlist LIVE in Florida a few months ago, but the biggest gathering of that type is VidCon, which takes [...]

Most performers, no matter how experienced or talented, will tell you that they do feel stage fright, on occasion. Some say they get concerned if they DON’T feel nervous, because it means that they are missing the ‘edge’ – that sense of readiness that is necessary if they are to go “on stage” and really [...]

I recently got back from attending Playlist LIVE, an annual YouTube convention that takes place in Orlando, Florida. I went last year as well (its inaugural year) and had a great time, but didn’t take any video because I was just focused on networking and meeting as many of the top YouTubers in attendance as [...]

2012 already seems to be my year for doing talks on YouTube in and around Vancouver.  It’s only February and I’ve already been booked to speak to six events (plus a class of film students, but had to turn that one down since it’ll be the same week as Playlist LIVE. I love speaking to [...]
