How to Edit on Anything – Final Cut Pro, iMovie, Adobe Premiere Pro
Yeah I know, its not REALLY anything, but this is just a basic idea of what people can get out of some of the more frequently used softwares that can be user friendly. But people are often intimidated by the interface, when in fact, its really easy to learn.

How to get more YouTube Subscribers easily: The method I used to go from 26 to 187 in less than a week!
Yes, its really that simple.
I think what most aspiring YouTubers miss with the website is that its among the social networking family like Twitter and Facebook. You interact with others who may potentially become your audience, and likewise with yourself towards them. Getting people involved and giving back for their loyalty really helps you build an audience. But finding that audience can be hard for some people who don’t necessarily put ‘rebecca black’ as one of the tags.
No, SubXcess is not a sponsor of mine. But I discovered it during a google search on how to get more subscribers.
It works the same way Twiends does, you follow people for what they call ‘seeds’ which is a basic points system that allows you to be seen by others. You offer seeds in return for following you, so they can be followed. Its a “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” kinda method.
SubXcess works in three ways, getting points for subscribing to others, friending others, and watching other peoples videos. You get a certain amount of points per sub/friend/view and those points are used as credit to advertise to others for their own points.
Originally I had 26 subscribers, and my videos didn’t get much views to begin with (granted they still don’t, but I’m working on it) but I went from 26 to 187 in less than a week by doing the following.
- Subscribing to others, so they will sub back
- Friending others
- And paying a few small fees for points, so that the subs and friends will find me ($8 for 500 and $15 for 1,000 not bad of a price)
Now some people might say that this won’t make for a good start for an audience, and I say “Why not?”
The way I see it, they will only become a good audience through good content (which for me, will be coming every other Thursday in a month starting next week!) And I think Freddie Wong said it best, “A consistent audience calls for consistent content”. Just put together something you like to do, make it fun for you and everyone else. And keep people involved, people like to help out and showcase their own talents.
While this may not be a widely known method to gain subscribers, its a good way to have a head start when you plan on putting out good content.
Find your target audience
