The Importance of YouTube Friends

Does any of you have a YouTube Channel? (That was correct grammar, btw: "Does any of you." "Any" is singular, short for "any one," and "does" is the singular verb conjugation. So weird!) Anyone confused about the Friends vs. Subscribers issue? I made a tutorial video about how to send videos to Friends on YouTube, and why you want "Friends" on YouTube in the first place.

For those of you new to YouTube, let me explain. The way you can start posting videos in YouTube is by creating a YouTube channel. J & Kay's YouTube channel is JandKay29 (trivia fact: the "2" & "9" stand for the day J first asked me out, Feb. 9, 2011! ;-)

After creating a channel, you can put whatever videos you want on there... like TV shows on your very own television channel! Some YouTube channel owners want to get their channel out there to be seen by the general public, and others just want to put up a video or two so only their friends can watch.

There are two ways of networking with other YouTubers: Friends & Subscribers. If you subscribe to a YouTube channel, you be notified on your homepage when that channel has uploaded a new video for you to view. When you are "friends" with a channel... well, what does that mean?? Is it like having a facebook friend?

We were really confused about this ourselves, so we decided to do the research and answer the question for other confused YouTubers as well! We found 3 reasons YouTube friends are important... check out my video to find them out! Kay's YouTube Friends Video

I'll list the summary here as well:

1. Privacy Settings
2. Sending Private Videos
3. Signing up for the YouTube Partner Program for ad revenue

Happy YouTubing!
