GETTING TO KNOW SOME YOUTUBERS - JACKSGAP THEIR EXPERIENCE

THEIR EXPERIENCE


   Yesterday I wrote a small introduction of Jack's YouTube channel; today, I'm going to tell you how his channel has grown in the past couple of years and some of the achievements he (and his twin brother) gave reached. All of this regarding their experience as YouTubers, not in their personal lives or in their videos.

• FIRST YOUTUBE GATHERING: In February, two years ago, the twins went to their first YouTube gathering in Hyde Park, London. This was the first time they were able to meet with their fans and get to know them a little bit more and not precisely from behind a camera.

• TRIPS: One month later, Jack uploaded the first of many videos about the trips he and his brother (and sometimes their friends) made. On the first one they tell us about their adventure in Rome. Because of the fact that they have traveled a lot, later on I will focus more on their trips.

• ONLINE T-SHIRT SHOP: On April 2012 Jack made a video announcement saying that he had started an online store for his JACKSGAP channel where you could purchase cool stuff related to it. They deliver all around the globe and they have stuff such as iPhone, iPod and iPad cases, hoodies, T-shirts and more. Here I'll leave you the link to the store so you guys can at least go check it.

• PLAYLIST LIVE!: Their first ever YouTube convention! When March 2013 arrived Jack and Finn traveled all the way down to Los Angeles where the YouTube convention "Playlist Live" was hold. There they got the chance of gathering with many other british YouTubers and thousand of viewers to talk just about stuff, have fun, meet their fans and talk about collaborating in YouTube.

• vINSPIREDLIVE: A couple of months later, they were invited to participate in the vInspired Live event which was held in The Roundhouse in London. vInspired Live is a volunteering charity created back in 2006. In this event, the twins were able to talk to thousands of people about how they can make a change through social media.

• THE ANNOUNCEMENT: Less than a year ago they made THE announcement in one of their videos: they were creating the JACKSGAP website! This, in my opinion, was a huuuuuge step forward for them because it meant they had reached a point in their career as YouTube video makers where they were influent enough to be able to step out of YouTube, out of the video making thing, create a website and make it successful. In other words, this proved that they were not only a couple of guys making funny videos on the web.

• VIDCON: Not a lot to say about it apart from the fact that 6 months ago they went to another of the many YouTube conventions worldwide: VidCon held in the Anaheim Convention Center, California. 

• THE RICKSHAW RUN!!!!!!!!: Soo, as you can see, I am really looking forward to talking to you guys about the Rickshaw Run. Truth is I plan to dedicate a whole entry about this trip later on my blog but for now I will summarize things up. Turns out that in last September Finn and Jack, with some other YouTubers/friends, crossed India from side to side in rickshaws, a peculiar vehicle that is kind of a three-wheeled motorcycle but bigger and covered and for more than two persons, while rising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

• THEY HAVE AN OFFICE: After their trip to India they came back with a lot of material which had to be edited and, in order to do so, they got themselves a small place and turned it into their workspace.

 
 
   Aaaaand that's it. So I personally thing that this are the events that somehow have marked the YouTube career of Jack and Finn. They are supposed to be in chronological order (as you can see) but if I made a mistake please tell me in order to fix it. And also if you guys think I missed something remarkable that should definitely be on this list leave me a comment and I'll take it into account. BYE!
