Filipino YouTubers are one of the fastest-growing demographics on YouTube.
Most people think that it's because Filipinos love watching and making videos, however, we have a different thought on this.
Getting views on youtube is hard. There are so many people trying to get more views, but it's really hard and takes a lot of time.
Today's clip gives real tips and tricks for getting more video views on Youtube with no fluff or filler content.
While all these social media sites are fun to use they can be time consuming to manage if you don't know what you're doing.
In today's clip Emeroy shares his experience managing social media accounts and some of the lessons he's learned from it.
"I want to know if you think it would be a good idea to share multiple posts within the span of 1 hour."
What do you think? Would sharing posts every hour be too much? Is this something we should try out, or would it just annoy our followers?
If you are sharing more than one post in a short amount of time, consider breaking up the day into smaller chunks so that your audience will have time to digest each piece without feeling overwhelmed or exhausted by reading too much at once.

59:02 - What’s the most amount of social media accounts you’ve ever managed? What have you learned from that?
There are so many different opinions on whether or not you should quit your job and become a full-time YouTuber. Some say that if you have over 1000 subscribers it's worth it, others think 5000 subs is the threshold. But what about someone with 2000? Is it better to keep working at my day job or give up everything to go after my dream of being an online content creator?
The truth is there isn't one right answer here because every situation is different. In this clip Emeroy shares his perspective in what it would take for you to take the leap to become a full-time YouTube.

How has your balance changed overtime? It's a question that everyone wants to know the answer to. While you can see where you're at now, it's hard to track how much progress you've made over time. In today's clip, the gang from Vision Paradox share how their work-life balance has changed over time.
How do you think about risk? What role has it had in your life or career?
The answer to these questions may surprise you. We've all heard that "risk is relative" and while this statement is true, it's also incomplete. It doesn't tell the whole story. To give a better answer we must first define what risk really means for each of us individually, because our definition will determine how we perceive and react to risks throughout our lives.
In today's clip, the Vision Paradox team share their experiences with risk and how it's affected their lives
In today's episode of Vision Paradox After Hours, the gang talks about:

31:08 - If you were in witness protection program, where would you go?
36:37 - Sword, shield, or magic?
44:23 - What arguement did you have that was absolutely ridiculous?
57:40 - how do you think about risk? what role has it had in your life or career?
1:07:18 - Who was your first celebrity crush?
1:09:18 - how has your balance change over time?
1:20:39 - what do you think of clubhouse?
Most people quit on their dreams because they don't know how to continue. They get discouraged and lose hope.
In this clip, you'll hear from the Vision Paradox team who have been there before and share what they learned along the way so you can learn from others' mistakes and successes.
What does the future of marketing and advertising hold for us in VR or AR? What about in movies?
What if advertisers can swap out cars or products in moves in real time?

NOTE FROM MAXINE: We joke around a lot but we're very aware that this is a serious issue. If you do feel like you are being stalked by ANYONE, not just an ex and you feel like you might be in danger, please do not hesitate to gather as much evidence as you can and alert the authorities. Go to https://www.stalkingawareness.org/what-to-do-if-you-are-being-stalked/ for resources.

In the words of a great poet, "haters gonna hate". Negative comments happen. So what do we do about them? Social media made it easy for companies and personal brands reach their target markets easy, but that opens them up to all sorts of hate comments and negative feedback. Should you treat fans and haters alike? Should negative comments be deleted? Should you even turn comments off?

You'll be further exposed if Instagram becomes another Vine or Myspace.
If your following is legit, you should have a fairly decent size on other platforms as well. Maybe not as big, but more than the average.
