Hanging out with and learning from famous YouTubers

written by admin on April 1st, 2012

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 I could (although I did take some photos).

This year however, I was given an mCAMLITE from ALM so that I could shoot some great video on the go with my iPhone 4s, so I reached out to my YouTube audience and asked them to give me suggestions. They had some pretty wacky ideas, but I went along with them and to my surprise, I was able to get quite a few big YouTube personalities to be in my video…

 

 

The first day of the event was more like a conference, with panels of famous online video content creators speaking about their experience and advice for getting more subscribers, viewers, and revenue from YouTube. The next two days were filled with performances by all kinds of well known musicians, comedians, and entertainers from the YouTube community. I attended most of the panels on the first day, but instead of watching the performances on the following days, I used that time to find the YouTubers in my video to ask/say/do the things that were suggested by my viewers, and to network with as many fellow YouTube Partners as I could.

It was a fantastic experience and I’m really looking forward to going to LA at the end of June for VidCon, which is an even bigger YouTube conference/convention. That will be the 3rd VidCon and I’ve been to both of the previous ones as well. It’s just a great way to be able to mix and mingle with the YouTube “elite” and learn as much as possible about this amazing and growing opportunity/resource/career that is YouTube Marketing!

    Hanging out with those great guys will surely give you a lot of great ideas when it comes to youtube. That’s wonderful event.

  2. Christinalovez

    i love hannah hart(:

  3. mrwalnuthero

    i like how you titled this after jenna marbles just to get views. pathetic

  4. JoshRimer

    There’s nothing pathetic about it – that’s how YouTube works! No one would have found or watched it if the title was something boring. Why do you think it has almost 90K views?

  5. ohbabyilikeitrawr

    don’t worry, i, with a brain, get it :)

  6. ohbabyilikeitrawr

    I don’t know what you’re saying this about but; 1. in the mirror someone else asked. 2. if Jenna knew he was gay maybe she would be more likely to do it because he’s not actually coming onto her.

  7. Standardchannel01

    Lol doesn’t matter, you have to see in her shoes. “Oh hey do people think I’m so slutty that I would let a RANDOM GUY (gay or not) motorboat my boobs.”

    She’s is pretty damn slutty, I thought would actually do it. Shows what we think of her.

  8. ohbabyilikeitrawr

    lol i thought she would too. And it’s not slutty to let a gay guy motorboat you for a laugh. Now sleeping with different guy every night, is slutty.

  9. CPRox100

    well it’s not because of the boring video now is it?

  10. Standardchannel01

    Well she doesn’t know him. He won’t know if he’s just posing as a gay guy or not. Not to mention he is just some totally random guy out of nowhere who asks to motorboat her.

  11. MsYumadeedoo

    Dafuq? Toby!

  12. TheBigwite666

    whos the dude @1:56?

  13. acflick99

    I see Tobuscus

  14. JoshRimerVlog

    That’s Damien (makemebad35)

  15. OmegaShadowz

    I bet that person didn’t even watch the whole video because she does motorboat herself unless that was a figment of my imagination. Or anyone else’s for that matter. All you did was name the video after a segment in it. Nothing wrong about it because people do that all the time on YouTube…and finally someone actually said it was pathetic.

  16. gingerbreadman115

    Gay or not your hilarious as shit come play,red dead redemption with me

  17. JoshRimer

    Ha, thanks – I’m not really familiar with red dead redemption though XD

  18. laneycanflyy

    1:56 OMGGGG makemebad35 ♥♥♥ hes my favv youtuber! <3333333333333

  19. XXsuperbadchickyXX

    Majority of fucking youtubers put up an elaborate title to get more views, at least this video actually had Jenna Marbels motorboating herself lol stop being an ass hole.

  20. BlakAttk

    makemebad35, he got big a few years back. He’s still here every now and again but i think his best years were 2007-2009.

  21. Alexdirtbikerkid1999

    are u actually gay

  22. Applest2oApples

    Well she did motorboat herself so I don’t see what the problem is. In fact, I am more disappointed in your for not linking the time in the video at which she does it (it’s 3:27)

  23. theTomas117

    If you would have watched the whole video you would have seen that Jenna Marbles did, in fact, motorboat herself.

  24. damm52

    jenna marbles <3

  25. bjf2008

    nothin pathetic,,,jenna marbles motorboated her self at his request!!! titled correctly last time i checked
