Over 40? YouTube needs you...
|
Hey there. No, the subject line isn’t clickbait, it’s really true. At least from my experience of being a solo content creator, focused on YouTube, and over 60, and still with good hair too! For too long I’ve been thinking about doing a video for anyone over 40 who’s struggling to get into video.

Let me make it a tad more personal…you are not alone. I hope you watch my latest video where I share a bunch of reasons you should consider starting a YouTube channel, especially if you are over 40 years old.
Love to hear your thoughts. Reply back to this email or leave a comment on the video. Have a great today. |

I thought "okay, that's cool" so I subscribed....
"Show up for someone." I don't remember where I heard that but it stuck with me enough to save it. I'm reminded of that when I think of this picture. Years ago, I went with a group on a mission trip to Honduras (beautiful country and people!). During the week, we spent the day at an orphanage tucked away in the mountains. We had been asked if we could hand out Christmas Boxes from Samaritans Purse that had been delayed in customs, so we did. I can't describe the emotion of seeing these...
This week I was perusing YouTube, as I often do, and I came across a new video from Peter McKinnon. (If you don't know Peter McKinnon, then where you been?) He's an amazing videographer, photographer, and actually started years ago as a magician. He has several businesses other than just being a YouTuber with millions of subscribers. He runs a company called Pirate Life (or something like that), and I think he's even gotten into leather smithing. He's just amazing! In this video, he was...
