Youtube (career Ideas)(freelance)

Youtube Is a great way to promote ones self, Youtube is the new T.V, if your'e famous on youtube you are like a celebrity. After University I plan on creating a youtube channel, I am going traveling and I plan to video most of it. I will use the skills I have learnt in after effects and Illustrator etc. to give the videos an extra oomph. I also bought a go pro camera. I chose a go pro for a number of reasons, its small, it shoots great quality videos and it is easy to carry on long distances as its very small and it weighs near to nothing. I first got the idea for making a youtube channel when I went to a talk in uni. I cant remember the name of the company that gave the talk but I do remember them talking about how  after  they tested a.game on their channel , the selling figures of the game was increased by a lot, a lot more than i expected, it actually amazed me how well it worked.
