Everyone Should Make A "How To" or "Tutorial" YouTube Video

For starters, I hope everyone had a great Christmas with their friends & family. No matter how you spend this time of year, I think we can agree that this is a very special time for everyone to reflect and appreciate how lucky we all are. Not just because of our friends and families, but because we all have somewhere to rest our heads at night, and we don't have war outside our doors everyday affecting our way of life. I can not help but give a huge Thank You to those that are fighting overseas and away from their families this holiday season to protect the freedoms of those back home. I wish everyone a safe trip home to be reunited with those that they love.

So this Christmas, I was very excited for what I got my Dad. Last Christmas, I got him an all white G-Shock watch that he had been asking about and he loved it. Unfortunately, the face became a little harder for him to see and the white became an unsightly brown because he wears it all the time. Obviously it came time to replace it so I got him another with a much easier to read face, also in the pure as the driven snow, white color.

G-Shock, send me watches now. Thanks.

If anyone knows me, you know I'm all about the all white look. Nothing screams class like all white everything. Storm Troopin' as it's been called. Why do you think Jay-Z throws an all white party? Royalty, thats why.

So back to the main point. This is pretty cool watch, but when we opened it, it didn't come with any instructions and the time was wrong. I had never set the time on one before and my Dad had forgotten how he did it before. No sweat, I'll just jump on YouTube. I'm sure there are some videos on how to set the time. I couldn't have been more right. There were thousands. That's when I realized how many times I have gone to YouTube for these types of videos. Literally, all the time. 

People who make tutorial and how to videos on youtube are the people who make the world go round.

That's when I had this bright idea. Everyone has a special type of skill or idea. Everyone most likely knows how to do something a little bit better than someone else, so why not show it! I urge everyone to try to make a "Tutorial" or "How To" video and put it on YouTube. I bet you will be amazed at how many people you help complete a task. It could be something as simple as making the perfect PB&J, to somethings a little trickier like teaching someone the basics to driving a manual transmission.

I won't be exempt to this either. I will try to find some goofy skill that I am good at and I will create a "How To" video for everyone to see. I won't make it something lame either like "How to light a candle" or something like that. After I make the video, I will be sure to post it and hopefully help to teach hundreds if not thousands an easy skill that they learned through my YouTube video.

If anyone has any suggestions on what kind of video I should make, send them my way. Even if I don't know how to do it, I will give it a try!

@d_briz @JDPower you wouldn't even have to adjust your name, we can just get bundled in as associates. Thank you for the consideration
