I have been working hard for more than two years now, traveling, vlogging, and building my YouTube presence. While I hoped that all those hours would lead up to something, never in my wildest dreams did I think I would hit the jackpot with winning the YouTube NextUp program!

My YouTube channel, along with twelve others, were chosen to fly out to Los Angeles to learn all things YouTube! We spent time in the YouTube Space, which was filled with all sorts of electronic goodies, and learned from some of the best when it came to cameras, lighting, and even how to monetize our channels. So much information may have led to an overload of my brain, but I was having too much fun to care!

Towards the end of the week, we broke into different groups to create a one-of-a-kind video to share with everyone. A professional editor walked us through the all-new Premiere editing program and the results were amazing! I cannot wait to implement this into my new YouTube videos in the future!

Of course, it wasn’t all work and no play when I was in LA. We were treated to fantastic dinners out, an end of the week gathering, and a walk across the stage for our graduation complete with a goodie bag.

We were team “All That” and we collaborated on a video project that we shared at the end of the week before graduation.

If you want the chance to win your own YouTube NextUp program experience, you just need to do exactly what I did. Simply work hard, create thrilling videos, and grow your YouTube subscribers. You must have your YouTube channel monetized to take advantage of this amazing contest, but that is easier than you think to get completed. In order to get selected for the YouTube Nextup program, you must have between 10,000 - 100,000 subscribers and your YouTube account must be in good standing. The YouTube program is competitive and YouTube receives hundreds of applications.

Once you have hit all of these marks, simply visit the YouTube NextUp program contest page and answer a few simple questions about your channel and apply. YouTube hosts the camp throughout the world, so find a program that fits you the best.

When you win, you will be whisked away to LA, NYC, or London for the five-day creator camp, where you will get a crash course on everything YouTube. Don’t worry, the support won’t stop at the end of the five days. First, you can purchase some new equipment with a voucher that is worth two thousand dollars. When you start using that new equipment and uploading new content, you will find that you can obtain one on one advice from a dedicated YouTube partner manager, who is normally only available to those who are part of the Silver & Up creator list.

Of course, then there are the invites to all the exclusive parties and events, and the opportunity to work with other YouTube Partners and NextUp graduates.

Don’t wait any longer. Grow your YouTube channel and earn this amazing opportunity as I did! You won’t regret any minute of your hard work or the fun that you will have along the way! Apply Now!
