  • Try, Fail, Analyze, Adjust: a Youtube History Lesson
    1 Try, Fail, Analyze, Adjust: A YouTube History Lesson Have you ever watched the first video uploaded to YouTube? It’s an important question. No really, it matters. I don’t think it matters just because I’m a YouTube expert and think it’s high-quality content (spoiler alert: it’s not). I think it matters because it’s history, and we can learn so much from history. As a video guy, I love docu- mentaries and biopics. They fascinate me because learning about the past helps us understand and navigate our world in the present. When we explore history, we see how decisions and events affect peo- ple, whether for good or bad, and how they impact people’s families, communities, and ultimately, the entire world. But why the heck am I talking about the impact of history on the world COPYRIGHTEDin a book that’s supposed to be MATERIAL about YouTube and mak- ing you money? I’ll tell you why: studying the history of anything can benefit someone who wants to learn more about that topic and succeed in that space. It should be obvious that the same applies to YouTube creators as well. I truly believe that if creators and businesses will take the time to learn from YouTube’s history—how it became the mega-platform that it is based on decisions that lead to failure and 3 Eves716020_c01.indd 3 30-12-2020 14:49:32 4 THE YOUTUBE FORMULA success—they will become better content creators and businesses and be more equipped to generate their own success on the platform.

Mondays from 3-4:00 room 127 Steam Walk By: Lily Mann If you didn't go to the Steam Walk then you made a bad decision because they had secrets and you can make a lightsaber with straws and lights. There were drones that you could code and fly. Also if you went to Hopewell Elementary there was a computer teacher. Her name was Mrs.Daly who was helping with computers to go on code.org, which is a coding site. You can have cookies there and they were delicious. Also you can make a little tiny spaceship that was cool. There was paper and cardboard to make the spaceship, and this guy was there and he pumped it up air and you have to push a button to launch it. It was pretty fun. So that is it from the Steam Walk. Silly Putty By: Lily Mann If you ever wondered why silly putty is called silly putty? Well this is why it is called this. You can do a lot of silly stuff and it is putty.Silly Putty was invented in 1943 the person that invented Silly Putty was James Wright.
