This was my second attempt to choose a winner for my GoPro HERO 4 Silver Giveaway I launched back in December of 2014. The winner I picked in the first video didn't respond, and also upon further investigation wasn't actually subscribed to my channels. I tried to keep this new video as engaging as possible, even though I had to scramble when the second winner I picked had somehow disappeared. The third time was the charm though, so CONGRATULATIONS to "Red Sox Fan" [Youtube username] for winning the GoPro HERO 4 Silver!!!
Thank you to everyone who entered into this giveaway! If you didn't win, help me reach 10k subscribers so you can all get another chance to win something awesome!

It's been over a week since I launched my GoPro 4 Silver giveaway. I have been amazed by all of the nice comments and also almost overwhelmed by the number of people who would really be able to do some cool things with the camera if they won. If you have yet to enter, make sure to do so by checking out the video below.
It's that time of the year again! Every year around this time (well for the last 2 at least) I have held a giveaway on my YouTube channel as a way of thanking all of my subscribers for supporting me. The first year I gave away a $15 iTunes card. Then last year I upped the prizes and gave away $200 in gift cards ($100, $50, $25, & $25 to Amazon, iTunes and Google Play). And now this year I am raising the stakes even more and giving away.........!!! Actually I haven't decided what the prize(s) should be yet, that's kinda the point of this post. Since you all are going to be the ones possibly winning whatever I end up giving away, let me know what you would want to win in the comments below or on Facebook and Twitter! And remember to subscribe so you can get notified when I launch the giveaway.
I've been wanting to do a giveaway on my YouTube channel for a while. I always think it's a nice way Youtubers to show their gratitude for all of their viewers and fans. Even with that in mind, I kept putting it off. First it was 500 subscribers; "Aw, I can do it later". Than 750 subscribers, and the same reaction. It's not that I didn't want to do a giveaway it's just I always had other videos to make or school work to do.
Finally when I surpassed 1,000 subscribers I knew I had to the giveaway. Even so I put it off a little more, until eventually the fast approaching holiday season gave me yet another reason to do a giveaway, and to do it now. I posted a "Thank You for Getting Me To 1,000 Subscribers" video in which I asked my viewers what they would like to see me giveaway. Many people said headphones, tablets, GoPros, etc. but a lot of people also said they wanted a chance to win some gift cards. After reading all of the comments, I decided to go with the gift cards since they were likely to make the most people happy. My reasoning was that no matter what people wanted a gift card could probably go towards purchasing it.
And so it was decided. I bought the gift cards, filmed the video right before I had to head back to college (literally like an hour before I left), edited the video together (with an attempt to remove as many "ummmms" as possible) and uploaded it to YouTube. Now all that's left for me to do is wait. You, on the other hand, have a giveaway to enter ;)
I have already posted a Youtube video on the same subject (see below), but with the start of the giveaway only about 15 days away, I really need some more input. Basically here's the deal: I'm planning on doing a giveaway in December to celebrate the end of the year as well as me reaching 1,000 subscribers. However, I need your help choosing what I should giveaway.
Some of the prizes I am considering...
I am thinking maybe something like a Nexus 7, Beats by Dre SOLOs, a GoPro White Edition, a pair of V-Moda Headphones, or maybe a pair of the Audio Technica ATH-M50s. All of these are in the $200 price range (which is about how much I am looking to spend), so if you can think of any other things you'd like to win let me know. I am actually right now leaning towards not giving away an actual product and just give away some iTunes or Amazon gift cards instead, but let me know. And remember of course to subscribe to my Youtube channel so that you will know when I launch the giveaway and make sure to enter right away.
