Summary

It’s one thing for me to tell you that “ANYONE” can grow a following on YouTube but it’s another thing to see someone else actually do it. On this weeks show I have on Matt Beck who has started a YouTube channel dedicated to cutting hair. Yes you heard that right, his channel is called Free Salon Education and he posts four to five videos a week. You would think that he has a photography or video background but he does not. He knew nothing about photography a few months ago when a friend told him to check out my channel. You are going to hear how Matt followed the methods I talk about time and time again to start building his YouTube following.

Matt dropped me a few e mails a while back with some samples of his videos. I decided to give him a call to drop some pointers that he actually took and used in future videos. Matt had a few more questions so I asked if he would like to come onto RAWtalk to ask his questions and tell his stories.

So if you think that it can’t be done and you need to know everything about filming a video you are wrong. Matt is not a photographer, he is a hair stylist and business owner who decided he wanted more, and now he has more. If you are looking to get motivated this episode is going to do it.

Before we jumped into Stephens Photo News I came clean about the April Fools Joke. Yes, the video about Nikon doing away with RAW in future cameras was a complete fabrication on my part. Some people fell for it others were not sure and some of you knew it right off the bat. It is always interesting to see peoples reactions.

I had two pieces for Gear of the Week this time around including the DJI Phantom 2 Vision and an APC Battery Backup for my computer.

0:00.0	So Stephen, what do you think of my new shelving units and desk in my office?
0:03.9	They're pretty solid. They're tall. I don't know how you're going to reach the top shelves.
0:07.3	I wanted to do the library style thing, but I don't think it would look good in there.
0:12.4	I don't think you have enough room in there. I don't think I do. But for anybody out there,
0:16.2	I had a whole office put together. I've got 10 foot high shelving units that start about 25 inches off
0:22.6	the ground. It's 10 foot high by 8 feet wide. So it's really freaking cool for bookshelves. And it goes
0:28.4	on one major wall and then up the side of the second wall. That one's only like two or
0:32.2	two and a half three feet wide on the second one. And then I got this awesome bar top stop
0:37.4	height desk to work at
0:39.4	with a separate computer. That's where, if anybody saw the DJI Phantom unboxing, that's
0:43.6	where I filmed that thing. Oh, can they see the shelves in the background in that video? Were they
0:47.4	billed yet? Yeah, well, they couldn't see it because it was straight down. I did the GoPro straight
0:51.3	down. I didn't know if it was wide enough to capture that too. No. But I'm really excited to get that thing set up. I love the printer, the shelf underneath. We had holes drilled
0:57.5	so that I can run wires through, like put droboes in one of them or something so that they're
1:01.8	off my other desk. I may even go back and have a secondary actual desk built. I don't know yet. I'm
1:06.8	excited just to get organized and not to search for Raw Talk stuff every week.
1:11.3	That's the point. We want to get organized. So anyway, why don't we jump into this? This is
1:15.4	Jared Pullen Froonos Photo.com and welcome to Rawl Talk. Episode number 80. We've made it all
1:23.1	the way to 80. I'm calling this one, how to get 30,000 YouTube subscribers in eight months. Now, there's a lot of
1:29.8	people out there who are going to try to sell you on how to do this stuff that you need to
1:34.1	listen to their. There's one guy. I get this all the time. This guy, I'm not going to mention his
1:39.1	name on Facebook, constant barrage of his sponsored post. He's like, I'm nearing one million views on YouTube.
