106. Few simple Hacks which can make you a celebrity Youtuber.

What does it take to work successfully as a Youtuber? 

First, it is the dedication and then it is persistence.

These two things work hand in hand. If you want to become a successful YouTuber you have to keep posting videos without caring about whether they will hit the right audience or not.

Most of the youtube videos that you will see will tell you that they have arrived at it by an accident. They didn’t know themselves but once something hits the right goal they keep working on it till it becomes massive.

The kick is to find that right video.

But again, a new question arrives that what is the right kind of content that you should choose to become a successful YouTuber. Googling on the internet will give you lots of options but DON’T read them.

You cannot find your calling on the internet. Your calling is inside you and you can only find it thinking about the things that you have done in your life and things that you like doing. Remember, Pewdiepie makes videos that he liked and there were not many videos like that on the internet before him. TVF and college humor has created their own market on youtube which people never thought would work on it.

If you think making money is easy and then think again before entering into Youtube business because it is hard work for those who simply do it for money. Money is essential I know but involving passion into it will make it much easier for you.

The biggest advantage that people have while uploading videos is that any youtube videos have no nearly no recall value and there are infinite ways in which you can rectify your mistake in your next video.

No amount of reading books, watching tutorials or paid views that prepare anyone for making videos unless they make the video and put it online and then see the changes which result in it.

The idea is that whenever you think of doing it just do it instead of thinking about it because the internet market is very volatile and if you think too much the either your idea will become stale or someone else will copy it.

Though I do believe that just like everything, this work of becoming a successful YouTuber has also been developed into an art and just like any art it also has its ground rules. When I say ground rules I mean the rules that few people have sketched down after making few primary mistakes which can be easily avoided. For example, Thumbnails are very important. The first thing people see in your video are thumbnails and they are like your first impressions and everyone knows how important it is to make first impressions. More than that is the length of the video which is very important. Until and unless you have massive and dedicated followers who religiously watch your videos, don’t opt for longer videos instead just bifurcate them into multiple videos. Another most important thing about any videos is first six seconds. I call it Six Second Factor. According to SSF, you must engage your audience in first six seconds otherwise they will lose interest. Your biggest enemy in the world of youtube videos is the “Related Videos”. People have easy option to switch to other interesting videos immediately if they don’t like your video.

What do you need to make a great youtube video? The answer is anything that can record a good video and that can record a good audio and an editing software. Nothing matters more on the internet than a great content. People are satisfied watching a bad video and bad audio over a great content. But that does not mean that you have to intentionally make bad videos. You can become very famous overnight if you bad content is viral but trust me it won’t be long term and it won’t help you get brands. It will be shared and laughed at but still, it won’t bring any money for you.

Now most important thing. How to earn money from youtube. Youtube does not pay you money for watching videos. Why would it? Imagine paying every youtube user money for posting videos. They would have been bankrupt before it starts. Youtube has the biggest customer base, they don’t need to entice their customers to come to their portals for money. People are doing it anyways. The money comes from advertisements. When you monetize your original content, the advertisements are played on it based on your content and your viewers base, data of which they keep through trackers.

Now again how to earn massive money from youtube videos. They simple idea for it will be to do brand placements in your video. When you get a little bit of success on youtube, then brands approach you to help them promote their products and they pay you money to do that. Since you have enormous subscriber base so it helps them promote their product to a larger audience in very less time. Compare that to hiring an ad agency and making ad films, ad campaigns. The money they will pay you will be petite compared to it, but otherwise massive compared to one single video that you are making in which you nearly zero investment.

I think that cover most of the points but if there is something that you want me to tell you, feel free to message me on Srivatava.shitiz@gmail.com       

105. Everything stopped

Everything stopped once i came to Mumbai. I was writing blogs and i was thinking of writing blogs everyday till i reach a popularity or 1000 posts, whichever first. I was making youtube videos and i am not doing that anymore. Shashiji, my friend who was a creative director on the the film shorgul in which i was assistant director had asked me to work in his new venture which is a channel for a spiritual Guru. But no one is talented in this group. No one is working hard. I don't know what is written for me, but I am destined to work great. This is not where i should work. This is not where i can progress. I need to move. I need to make decisions. I need to move.  

104. Kejriwal must Lose.

If you really think that Kejriwal is going to change India, you are wrong. I am not merely issuing a statement, I have my valid reasons.

Don't vote for Kejriwal. This is coming from a converted Kejriwal Fan. I was a Kejriwal fan and I thought he will change the country for good. These days I am not sure what his intentions are but his psychology seems pretty clear. He wants to become great and he sees himself as the messiah and become the savior of people even when they don't need to be saved from anyone. He portrays BJP as evil but till date, BJP and Modi have only done well for India. On the other hand, he feeds people with negativity and doubts about everything BJP does.

He doubts surgical attacks, something the country should be proud of.

He doubts demonitisation, when demonitisation was not about bringing black money, ti was about eliminating black money and forcing people to open bank accounts for transparent transactions.
He never praised Yogi Adityanath for his efforts, instead, he keeps boasting that what Yogi is doing has been done earlier by him.

He runs away from responsibility saying that just because cleaning Delhi does not come under his jurisdiction, they won't do anything about it. But you were goddamn activist first.

He joins hands with every politician just to beat the party in the majority. Earlier it was congress and not it is BJP.

He keeps praising himself but nothing is shown, everything is just his words against truth.

He is obsessed with Modi and now everyone knows it. He is obsessed with Modi because deep down he wants to become enigmatic like Modi but he can't. He cannot beat years of experience and knowledge, not to mention the common sense. He campaigns are similar to Modi and recently he started saying that there is Kejriwal ki Lehar.

BJP portrays Modi's face in the campaign because he is popular but Kejriwal always keeps himself bigger than his party. Manish Sidodia looks like a tortured cousin of Kejriwal.

Kejriwal is living in delusions and the faster he comes out of it, the better. We don't need him to save us. We can save ourselves. Our country is running just fine. There are problems in our country but then which country doesn't. The hope is the biggest factor. Yogi Adityanath for me has brought hope in Indian Politics after Modi. 

103. I will win, Not sure what, but i will win

The normal course of action for any person in my case would be to do the sane thing. But not me, no sir. I have done so many things to fuck my own ass and then laugh at myself for doing it. I don't have a girlfriend and damn these girls who look so fake these days that intelligent girls are either fat or ugly. I want the perfect combination even though I am intelligent but little ugly from world's point of view. I am beautiful from inside. My kidney, heart, intestine, inside skin are all beautiful but I guess no one cares about that. People care about things they can see and that is their problem - their eyes, I think everyone should be poked needles in their eyes right when they are eye to make them blind, that way this world will become a better blinded place, except we have to leave one person with eyes so that he can poke needle in other people's eyes, we can't risk a blind man poking on a person's body just to find the right place to poke. It will be a cruel thing to do. Gandhi on screen, when acting for a movie, said that eye for an eye will make the whole world blind. I thin that is not true because people are not that honest, people will beat the shit out of you, give you bone fractures for playing with their eyes, let alone taking away their eye. Gandhiji was talking about an ideal scenario which I think does not exist. People don't always do the exactly same thing that you do to them, sometimes they do more and sometimes they do less, it is often more though. I will win one day, I don't know what I want to win but just saying it gives me confidence that someday after my death some hollywood producer might want to make a film on my life then he would need a promo shot and I want it to be me shouting "I will win", what i win can be a part of fiction that writer has to come up with.   

  

102. Trailer Review | Aramm : Featuring Nayanthara

There is no other actress I have been more crazy about after Aishwarya Rai than Nayanthara. She is one powerful actress and she has made her prominent place as top leading actress in South Indian Industry. It wont be an understatement if I say that I am a crazy fan of her and stalk every movie of her just to see her.

Aramm trailer (teaser) releases today and it looks similar to Kaththi in terms of raising social issues of poor farmers. Initially when i started watching the teaser i thought it was a documentary in which Nayanthara must have participated but slowly the documentary teaser takes a commercial turn and we see Nayanthara walking in slow motion with determined face towards somewhere. It is evidently clear that she is some government officer trying to solve problems of poor people and the look and expression she carries on her face doesn't give her any less power than the entry of any other South Indian Superstar. I love to see a female oriented film in which a lady is cast as a powerful character and not just some dumb bimbo whose only job in the film is to dance in a random foreign location under the excuse of Dream sequence and then come in the end for a family photograph when Hero finally kills the villain. Watch the teaser and enjoy it. I am really eager to watch the trailer and the movie soon.

101. People Review | Dodo and Chloe | Most Beautiful Souls

First of all, they are not dogs, they are people and for us, they are our kids. They are my kids and they are treated like kids by everyone in my family. Eleven years back in March, we bought Dodo home from a relative’s house. They got six bull terrier kids with them and we adopted one of them. Thy was born the legend of Dodo. White as snowball with black shiny eyes who could just melt you with his stare and would look at you knowing that these people will take care of him for the rest of his life. I and my brother became his father and we love every moment of it. I have to accept this thought that my brother loves Dodo more than I do. Don’t get it wrong, I love him too. But I think my brother loves him more than I do. If Dodo is getting irritated and doesn’t want anyone around, he bites you, he doesn’t mean it but it is his way of telling you that he needs his privacy. He does it only occasionally, like once or twice in a year. If he does that to me, I would get angry and won’t talk to him but if he tries to pull something like that on my brother, Dada would never get angry with him instead just give him his time, later cuddle him nicely when Dodo is in good mood. He understands him. Once Dodo nearly bit my brother’s hand during one of his bad mood days. My brother didn’t retaliate or gave any reaction. He just went to his bed and resumed his work. Dodo later came after an hour or so to my brother and started licking at the part of his hand he has bitten and it was in his eyes how sorry he was for his sudden retaliation earlier. Dodo is a bull terrier and he is a hunting dog. He can jump more than 20 feet and he is (was, 'is' old now) very energetic. There are countless rats, lizards, cows, stray dogs and other animals that he has killed or injured due to which we have to keep him chained sometimes so that he does not harm other animals but his primal instinct is hunting. He will love you and be loyal to you but he will love only when he wants to love you, he does not care whether you are interested in loving him or not, it is basically when he wants to be loved he will come to you and then he will demand that you leave whatever important work that you are doing and start loving him immediately. He is one selfish dog. Once our family left Dodo when my father was posted at Gaziabad and I was studying at a college in Lucknow. They didn’t tell me about it because they knew I will create ruckus by just listening to the whole proposal. Dodo had been really naughty at that time and it would become tremendously difficult for my family to keep him in control. We are that kind of family who loves dogs enough to not keep them in chains. The walls at our house in Gaziabad were low in height and it was easy for a dog like Dodo to jump on them and escape outside. There had been numerous occasions when my father had to take him out of sewer or ditches because sometimes he would fall into them or sometimes someone would kick him into it. Once Dodo was out of home boundaries, it was impossible to bring him back unless he feels hungry and comes back on his own in the house. So one of our family friends who needed a dog gladly took him to his place. After a week or so those family friends had a party in their house. Dodo was tied in chains outside and it was revealed later that Dodo was tied to the chains all the time and given meals only two times a day. Dodo had stopped eating food and stopped moving since he had shifted from his family. It was evident that they were not taking care of him. After all, he was treated as Prince at our home, never got kicked or beaten and always had his way in our house; he was literally living like a slave in that house. When my parents and brother were going inside, they saw Dodo and tried to smile at him and love him but he didn’t even shake his legs, instead turned his face to another side. He was really sad and gloomy. My family couldn’t tolerate their kid being treated this way. They took him away that very night and since then the thought of Dodo ever going out of our house has never ever crossed our minds. 

In past three years, I have noticed that Dodo has become quite receptive. I don’t know what has happened to him but he has developed so many human emotions. It feels like he understands us. Earlier I could never see anything in his eyes but now I can read his eyes and I immediately know what he is trying to convey. He behaves like a human being and has become very expressive. If I am angry with him he knows it, he will come to me and love me to persuade me to stop being angry with him. He has stopped running after food, not even chicken or anything else because he knows that it will be made sure that he has eaten his food by us. If someday he refuses to eat his food, then my mother will make him sit on her lap and feed him bits of roti dipped in milk one by one and only then he will eat. If he is outside our house and he needs the gate to be opened, then he will keep barking till the gates are opened. He never sleeps on the floor. He either sleeps on a mat or bed or our drawing room sofa and there is nothing we could do about it. He was the sole prince in our house until another angel came to our house.

We didn’t want another dog. We had one kid and we were quite happy with him. But Dodo was getting old and we read somewhere that Life expectancy of bull terrier dog is nearly 10 years. That scared both me and my brother. We love dodo. We don’t know how we will survive if God forbids something happens to him. We couldn't imagine our life without Dodo anymore. We were scared. More than that I was worried what will happen to my mother because she is really attached to Dodo and Dodo has always been treated like a grandkid by her. One odd day I, my brother, my Bhabhi and her sister were just strolling around the city when we decided to visit some pet store just to see what breeds of dogs they have. We googled few places and called them. We decided to meet one which was nearest. It was Sunday and though his shop was closed that day he opened it for us. He showed us the female black Labradors because that was the only thing available at that time. He got one Lab and she was really curious one but she was three months old. We weren’t sure as he told us that she was suffering from few diseases and she hasn’t yet got her prescribed medical injections. We weren’t anyways interested in getting a dog, as of now, we were just window shopping for adoption of our next kid. Then he asked us to see one more puppy. He handed us two months old female Black Labrador. We all had her in our arms. She was beautiful. She had something which the pups earlier we held in our hands didn’t have. She was really naughty and she was really energetic. She was trying to jump from our hands to the ground. She also has this sparkle in her eyes which could make your fall in love with her. Her little mouth and her little mustache were so cute that you can stare into them till eternity. Tiny teeth from which she tried to bite us with her full might had melted our heart and then she would give this look to us as of feeling guilt when she would fail. Don’t even get me started on her paws which were the most beautiful thing you can ever see in this whole world. To me all dogs are beautiful, I love them all and they have a special place in my heart but she had something else. She was special. Every one of us fell in love with her the moment she fell in our hands. I hate dog selling and I will never advocate it but hey, you don’t get good dog breeds on road.

Dodo was my brother’s son and I was more of his uncle and we decided this girl was going to be my daughter. My brother, Dada was responsible for Dodo and I was made responsible for her. I gladly took the responsibility. We brought her home and while coming back to home we stopped at a Dog shop and bought all the nice things for her. Next day we also took her to the vet. My mother was not happy though, seeing the new pup in our house. She was worried about Dodo’s reaction and taking care of a pup while she was growing up because we are boys who don't do much housework and after all, it would become her responsibility to take care of Dogs in the end. I took all the responsibilities till I was at home because I had to rush to Mumbai which is my place of earning my living. I promised Mom that till I am in town I clean all her potty and pee and she won't bother anyone. She would sleep with me in my room. I really felt like a father and she really behaved like a naughty kid. Labrador has a tendency to eat anything without caring whether it is eatable or not. We named her Chloe by the way, because we wanted to name her like a princess and the name was suggested by my Bhabhi, my sister in law. Chloe is very active and her activities would soon exhaust our energies. She would shout at us all the time to get her demands done and rarely we get to hear her bark when she was angry. Soon she became the most loved kid in our family but Dodo never accepted her. Dodo hated her like anything and still hates her. Dodo never cared for our love earlier, he would love us based on his mood. As they say, Karma bites you hehe. He was literally ruling in our house and making us dance to his tunes but now things had changed for him and there was another cute member who was getting equal amounts of love and sometimes more. Yes, we are guilty of that. The vet told us that we should have made them meet somewhere outside our house because the house belonged to Dodo and it was his area but when Chloe came he was it as an invasion of his privacy at home and his loved ones. He couldn't tolerate it and hated her for that. Chloe, on the other hand, was secular and would disturb and play with everyone equally. She never cared about anyone or anything. She was always charged up and she took enormous amounts of advantage of her cute face to manipulate everyone. I was and still am the most frequent victime. She did make my mother angry sometimes, my brother and I too get angry at her because she is highly restless but her cute face always saves her. My father loves when she runs towards him from a distance because her ears are not pointed upward like German Shepherd, they are always fallen down and when she runs her ears flip up and down like bird wings and she looks so beautiful in it that you just want to kiss her.    

To conclude, we love them both and now we try to take care of both's privacy. We try to keep them separate as much as possible because they fight a lot and also because Chloe is growing into a girl now. I am ashamed to admit that I have a little bit more inclination towards Chloe and initially due to which, unknowingly I ignored Dodo sometimes. I know it made him feel sad but now since I have realized that, Dodo often comes to me to get love which earlier he didn’t, on my part I try to divide my love equally among them. There are times when I am in Mumbai and I dream about them, Chloe comes in my dream nearly every day and Dodo too. I miss both of them all the time when I am not with them. I feel like I can’t live without them sometimes. Don’t know why God gave dogs such less life to live. Because of Chloe and Dodo, I have also developed a more sympathetic attitude towards other dogs as well. I feed stray dogs regularly no matter where I am. I have joined NGOs and taken many Dogs from roads who were ill or injured to the vets. I have also started loving other animals and I don’t feel hatred towards other animals even those who are against humans and kill humans. I have realized that there no animal worse than and more dangerous than Human being. To those who haven’t had a pet before, I will request you to adopt a pet today. They will change your life forever. They have changed mine and have help me become a better human being. 

100. You have a choice.

You have a choice. You always have a choice. When someone says they don’t have a choice then they are lying. They think they don't have a choice because they don’t want to choose the other side but still they have the choice. You chose whether you want to live a peaceful calm life at a hill station or you want a life that is full of noise and people bustling around you with fame and glamor. Both choices are equally right. When you are fat and you want to become thin, it is a tough choice you make because most people create the reason why they want to remain in the same condition of misery as they were earlier. Every superhero gets a choice about what he wants to do. According to me, superhero is a superhero because when he is given a choice he takes a decision, he makes a choice. It is difficult to make a choice and it is difficult to make a decision.

One of my friends works as an assistant art director in ad films. He recently got an ad film to produce. He offered me the direction part but I was unable to do it because I was suffering from chicken pox. He was confused and it was his first time that he was trying to do something independently. After a week, he yielded and his excitement was gone. He was unable to take decisions. He called me every day and he was telling me all the problems he was facing with the locations, director, client, and concepts. He couldn’t handle all those things. At that time, he told me something which he really felt. He used to curse all those ad film producers and directors to take so much time for taking one simple decision and he was unable to take even one decision. I told him that those producers are paid so much money for handling all these things only. They might not be doing too much hard work physically but mentally they are fucked like hell and unlike my friend they have no one to complain too. Rich people are paid for how much they control their mind.

The most difficult thing in this world is not to win the boxing championship, people can practice enough to do that. The most important thing in this world is to take the godddamn decisions because enough amount of preparation can prepare you for boxing championship but nothing can prepare you for taking the right decisions. As you will climb the ladders of success, the decision making will only get complex and worse and the problems will always be unique. Making the decision is equivalent to taking the risk, you don’t know whether it is going to be right or wrong. All you know about it that instead of sitting at one corner and regretting sulking whole life for not moving ahead, it is better that a decision gets made. No one knows what the outcome to be, so don't worry as they will never know the opposite side. The bigger the decision, the bigger its chance of going wrong and bigger the consequences and criticisms, and that's what scares most people. But what if it turns out to be right. What if? The decision makers should always concentrate on the right aspect of decisions otherwise, he will be too scared to make the decision. That is where positivity comes into light. You need to be positive to make the right decisions. What you fear will always come true. Fear is your worst friend who loves you from than anything else and whenever you call him he will come. The strength of mind and courage are best friends, but they have too much attitude, they will come to you but only after a particular time. Wait for the right friend because he will only help you. Take the decisions with a good state of mind and see the magic.
