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!
