Which is why in the last couple months, I’ve loved seeing several people I know-whether from online or my own personal life-go for it. There are a ton of Christian bloggers and Instagrammers out there (which is amazing!), but YouTube is a bit less of a saturated market. Which brings me to the topic of this post. I couldn’t have rattled off any of the above stats to you when I was thinking about starting, but the more I look at them, the more sure I am of the need for creators who are going to pour positivity into a platform where so much media is being consumed. (If you want to hear more about that backstory, and the turning point moment that made me finally decide to take the leap, you can find it in my first YouTube video). My primary motivation for starting a YouTube channel was simply that for a few months, I sensed God putting it on my heart-and as much as the idea freaked me out intimidated me, I wanted to be obedient to His prompting. But last year I discovered a few YouTubers whose channels I began to keep up with, and the more I started to explore the world of YouTube, the more I realized just how vast it is.Īt the start of this year, I decided to add my own voice to the choir of incredible creators on YouTube because you know, NEW YEAR, NEW YOU(Tube Channel). To be honest, up until last year my personal YouTube usage didn’t extend too far beyond looking up a song to listen to here or there, or streaming sermons on my commute. A staggering 80% of 18-49 year-olds watch YouTube, and if we look at 13-17 year-olds, the numbers come in even higher at 90%-which means YouTube reaches more people than any cable network in the U.S.
1.5 billion people use it monthly, and 5 billion videos are watched on it every single day. How crazy is that?Īdditionally, YouTube is said to be the second largest search engine in the world, behind only Google. That’s over one tenth of a million years’ worth of video consumed by YouTube users every single day. One billion hours equates to over 114,000 years. Any idea how many hours of video are watched on YouTube every day?
