How to start your YouTube career!

If you are reading this article you are probably wanting to start a YouTube Career, YouTube can be a whole lot of fun, a bit risky and sometimes hard, but for the most part fun. One of the big things people screw up on with YouTube is not having the correct equipment, meaning you have a bad microphone, or a bad computer, or just not what you need. When starting YouTube, it is important to have most of or all of what you need. That does not mean go buy all the best of the best everything and spend a lot of money, just enough to get you started. The reason you do not go all the way when buying YouTube gear is that not everyone makes it, and it just is not for some people, so you have to try it first, do not expect to go buy 2000 dollars worth of equipment and then earn it back through YouTube in a week or a month, because that is usually not the case. Being a creator on YouTube needs to start out as a hobby more then a job. Because believe me unless you work really really hard it will not turn into a job for a while, but it is a good start on the road to sponsors, partners and adscense, adscense is your main source of income in the beginning because you don't have any sponsors or partners when ever someone sees your add on your video you get a little bit of money, pretty cool huh! Keep in mind some people have add blocker so if you have one thousand views on a video and have not made 5 dollars, that just means either the same person has watched it multiple times, or some people have adblocker that have watched your videos.

When uploading content to YouTube, you want to make sure its your best, you can not half ass it and expect to get subscribers who want more, you want to give the people something they want to see, if its gaming make it exciting, if its hiking make it beautiful and so on and so forth, i am sure you get the point now, you don't want just any half bake content on your channel, because believe me you will not make money that way unless you are extremely lucky, in other words not a risk worth taking.
Another mistake kind of a long the same lines is a common mistake as well, if you upload a video you dont like, make sure to delete it right away, because after people start to see it and its been up for a while once you delete it, it will lower your ranking on Google and YouTube, for reasons i am not aware of.

Finally there is upload consistency, if you want to keep and advance your ranking which is where your video shows up when searched for, you most upload on a regular basis, whether that be daily or weekly, but try to make it as often as possible, once again referencing to how good the video is, if you need to take more time to make a higher quality video, then go for it! But try not to make your subscribers wait to long! There is also tags, put tags in your video that match what your video is about or popular you tubers doing the same thing, also your channel name!

I hope this guide helped you get started, and there are lots more out there so good luck and see you on the red carpet!

Is donating to Cosmic PvP worth it?

If you are reading this, you are probably thinking about buying a rank on the Mine-craft server called Cosmic PvP , Well good job you came to the right place. I am going to explain to you whether buying a rank is worth it or not. Of course you do have to keep in mind it is all based of off your oponion but for now im going to give you some facts that might encourage you to donate. You get lots of perks when you donate to cosmic pvp, even at the lower ranks. For example you get kits, set homes, player vaults which is a command that allows you to store stuff in a vault , it is pretty useful, i am currently a freezer donator on the ice planet, which is just one of the servers on cosmic pvp, and i get 30 player vualts, which is like 30 double chests, you almost do not need a place to store stuff, keep in mind there's stuff you might want to store in regular chests, like building blocks and stuff like that.  But for your armor and wepons and good stuff, you do not have to worry about it getting raided because it is in your player vualt. That in my oponion is one of the  best perks, of course there is a fly perk for the highest donation which on my server is Glacier, and other cool commands.
You can also you the feed or eat command so you never have to carry around food in game, trust me that is more helpful then you might think, hunger goes by quite quickly, and i find myself saving time and in game money with this command.

You also get more homes, what a home is, is a command where you can set a point to teleport back to later, it is extremely useful, so you never lose your base, it also saves traveling time. The higher tear you go in donating the more set homes, or homes you get, also the more player vaults you get to.

One of the many perks as well, is mcmmo credits, mcmmo is a plugin that basically turns mine craft into a mmo, its pretty amazing and useful, when you donate it gives you credits you can redeem in certain skills, i recommend axes, it is extremely useful for pvp. One quick tip when donating , donate form the bottom to the top, in other words you get more mcmmo this way. So basically you buy the first rank, then upgrade and so on and so forth.

One of the big time perks you get is the kits, when you donate you get special kits that give you good stuff, and when you donate for a rank you get all the kits of the ranks below it to, its a pretty amazing perk and definitely seals the deal, usually you can use your kits every 24 hours which is a great deal.

Anyway i hope this helped you out in deciding whether to donate to cosmic pvp, it is a great server i truly do recommend it!

The final battle on cosmic pvp ice planet!

I really hope there will be a final battle on the ice planet, the one i play on, there was rumors that there would be and that would be so awesome! Playing with or against woofles would be awesome, and if my faction plays against them we would be ready kick his ass!
This article is mainly meant to convince him to acutely end up doing the final battle, from my current knowledge my faction would be included if there was one, but i really do want one. You should most definitely have one, it also raises more awareness of the server, more people will come and play, there fore making it more fun for everyone!
As show by previous final battles on other parts of the server, it was a great success lots of donations and lots of fun, so i think we most definitely need to have one. I have a a lot of great ideas for the final battle to. For example we could do it kind of like the Archon use a copy of spawn and build different castles and tnt cannons and battle and just a massive pvp fight would be absolutely amazing.
Anyway please do consider it, i am sure everyone would like it, and may bee include everyone on the server for an insane faction war, that would be really good youtube footage!
Also may bee give a kit out for everyone to use, so that would be pretty epic, and may bee a kit reset for when the server resets.
If you ask anyone on the server they would be all for that, may bee the kit will come with like prot 4 some gold apples and sharp 4, and some pots, and then you can also use your own stuff. So it kind of gives the noobs a chance to have some kind of fun in the war zone. May bee have it last until last faction standing to, that would be awesome. One life, last faction standing, that sounds pretty epic to me. I could just imagine 60 factions battling it out in  this massive battlefield, it would be absolutely freaking epic. So epic hard to explain, just imagine 300 people all in the same place, in diamond armor fighting to the death. Makes for some pretty damn good youtube footage as well.
The players could help organize it to so the admins don't have to do every thing, i guess that just kind of makes it easier on the admins which is always good.
We could have like each faction record there point of view to, its basically like the uhc for factions. it would be absolutely epic i could just see all the swords swinging and the bows shooting and the cannons going off damn that would be a sight, so don't you want to see that to, if so let them know! May bee if enough people say something we will secure it one hundred percent in the near future!

Cs servers and their 64 tick refresh rate

Counter-strike and their 64 tick, don't even get me started, its plain horrible, sometimes it is almost like bullets fly threw people without any damage, this is unacceptable. I guess this article is more or less a rant, and i sure hope valve reads this. They need to get their be hinds together and fix their servers, 128 tick servers are desirable, not a single bullet will miss if it is aimed properly, but on 64 tick bullets will literally fly through body's and it makes no sense, valve makes lots of money of their games every day, if they would make their servers 128 tick, they would make even more. So i really do not see why they are not doing this yet. This would be a great opportunity for the players and them. They could completely double their income. I guess the only thing left to wonder is why, why have they not done this yet. They come out with updates weekly, bigger updates then this even, so why cant they just do it?

I have a few ways for them to get the money to do so if they need it, or maybe they are worried the community will not like it? Well solutions to both of those problems. First off the community has proved they want it with the amount of people buying premium for 128 tick competitive environments, and more and more people just keep edging into premium, valve is losing money and players. Valve could even release a sign form and literally every player that new what it was would sign it.

With the money issue at hand, fund raisers, and also people would even donate for this. Then again i do not see why valve would have any money issues, the amount of people who buy new accounts, cases and keys and all that fun stuff. I would not see how they have any money issues at all. On the off set that they do for some reason, again which i think is highly unlikely, they could do various things to raise money, releasing new weapon skins, knives, cases all sorts of things, once again as i said before people would donate for this, if every cs player donated 1 dollar you would have millions! Plenty for an update like this.

Also one thing i thought i might throw in there since we have plenty of space on the article, is the amount of times cs-go goes on sale, its insane, every time cs-go goes on sale it gives hackers an opportunity to buy a cheap new account and hack on it, this is an outrage to your legitimate players and needs to stop immediately, raising prices would not hurt, even 20 dollars would put some kind of a barrier between hackers and our game. When i first started playing a long time ago, hackers where fairly rare, now it seams every other game i get a hacker, especially on my low ranked account. Although valve might be making money from all of this, it is not fair to their legitimate players who work hard for there ranks and just want to have fun.

Hackers, aimboters and everyone in between ruin everyone's fun, and there is no point in playing the game because of it. The feeling of knowing there will most likely be a hacker either on my time or the other team. It just is no fun and ruins the game for me at-least, i can not speak for everyone else, but i get the feeling others feel the same way.

CSGO How to never rage again.

Source: blackwindmetal.com
Raging is a very common thing seen in the gaming industry, usually it happens when something does not go how you want it to or it just dos not seam fair. Believe me i have raged before as well, not a fun experience. I have even lost friends over rage. I am about to teach you one of the most useful things i have learned while gaming, how to almost never rage again. This mainly goes for Counter-strike but can apply to most video games. The main idea here is thinking of the future, you might have lost this game, you might have DE ranked, but in a year from now how much will this matter? In a month from know how much will this matter, tomorrow how much will this matter, in most cases your answer is absolutely zero. It will not matter at all. The reason i say this, is because in a year from now, you might not even play the game anymore, or you have played hundreds of games, ranked up and DE ranked multiple times.

One huge thing to pay attention to on the upside of losing or playing bad, is if you watch that demo you will learn more then you would if you won. If you won the game you might not even be enticed to watch the demo, now if you lose that can give you reason to go replay the demo and watch and try to find out what your mistakes are, even if they are little mistakes, knowing and being aware of those little mistakes can make you a million times better of a player. I know this from personal experience, this apply s to lower ranks and higher ranks. But i guess the main statement is that to remember this will not matter next game, or if it will matter next game, then it wont matter in a month from now, just remember that your temporary stress over something that will not matter eventually, is useless. Enjoy every moment that you get to play games because that is what they are there for. Your enjoyment, your entertainment, everyone's enjoyment. Games are meant to escape reality and stress, not create stress.

If you are constantly stressed out while playing video games, you are totally doing it wrong. What i mean by that is you are playing video games for the wrong reason if you are not enjoying them. Of course there are certain things that differ from this , for example if its your job then some of these things may not apply, But still most of them do. Also remember, no one likes a rager, if your chill and fun to hang out with no one will have a problem with you, but if your a raging jerk, then you will not make any friends on the internet, trust me i know. Now that you know all these things, take this new information you have received and go have fun playing video games, and remember it will not matter when you lose a game or do not do well in a game a year from now, a month from now or even sometimes next game!

Cool command prompt commands you might not know about!

Source: www.engineersgarage.com
There is intact a crap ton of awesome commands in the command prompt that you can use for multiple purposes including entertainment, and tracing down a computer. If you do not know what the command prompt is, do not worry i will explain. The command prompt is basically a short cut to multiple things on your computer, also a hacking device technically. Some times it can be a whole lot of fun, for example you can use this to figure out your ip address, your internet speed and also to find out where people live , there internet provider. It is a lot of fun. One cool command you might not know about is - color 1 - 19 , this changes your color on your command prompt, for example color 2 changes the color to green! This is a fun little trick you can show your friends! It is also a good way to optimize your command prompt. Sometimes different colors are easier to see, for different people.
Another fun command you can use in command prompt would be ipconfig this command tells you your ip information and your internet information. Useful and lots of fun, and a very cool command!

Another really fun and useful command is tracert, tracert can be used to trace peoples ip address down to the exact location of there computer, you can use it to scare your friends, or just to show what a cool hacker you are. So how you use this command is like this. tracert [ip of your friend] so it will look a little something like this tracert 184.28.636.23.  these are just some of the many fun little commands you can do for fun or for pranks. If you are wondering how you can get a hold of someones ip adress, i will tell you right now. Mind you this guide is for educational purposes, if you use this for illegal uses, i am not to blame. So what you do is you open up task manager, go to resource monitor, and click on network activity, one of the easy ways you can use this is through skype, if you send a few messages to the person through skype there ip will send packets back to you and there fore be in network activity telling you which ip is sending you the most packets, of course it has to be from Skype. Not saying that isthe only way to do it, you can also send a few messages from steam, but you got a bit of interference that way a bit harder.

Another way to get a hold of someones ip address is tracer links, if you send them a link that traces there ip, a useful web sight that does this for you, if you do not know how to do it, would be whatstheirip.com, this web sight helps a whole lot. What you do is put in your email, it will send you a notification and some links to send to your friends. Once one of your friends clicks on one of the links, it will email you there ip! This method is called BeEF, which is an exploit on your browser, lots of fun to use, also for all of you who think this is illegal, well guess what, its not! Your ip and your location is public information, so no harm done!

I hope you enjoyed this little guide, and maybe i did teach you some things! Well i sure hope i did!

How to play counter-strike global offensive successfully

Source: www.articlesnatch.com
The reason you need to hear these things is because it gives you extremely useful information, foot steps can tell you where an enemy is, hearing an enemy reload can tell you when its safe to charge, hearing your team mate telling you where someone is can set you up for how you will play to give you a better opportunity to win.

Another important thing you will need is a microphone, the reason you need a microphone is because you can talk to your team mates, talking to your team mates is important so you can give them information, you might see something on your screen that they don't see on their screen. For example they might be pushing somewhere and you see it but your team mates don't, if you tell your team mates that they are going there, your team mates can prepare. The reason it is better then typing, is because you can give information much quicker and while you are playing, also sometimes people don't look in chat while they are playing. So all around having a microphone is very important in cs-go, remember this is a team orientated game.

Probably the biggest thing that will help you succeed in cs-go is being friendly to your team mates, if you are rude and disrespectful to them, they won't want to help you in anyway, a matter of fact they might make it harder to win. If someone sucks, you don't need to tell them that, just try to help them out, give them some tips. Because it will not help the situation, if you need a weapon, they won't buy you, just try to re-frame, and remember that this game will not matter next game.

Also one thing i would like to remind you, rank does not mean everything, if you got a low rank but are a good player or you got a low rank and are not the best player, just try your best and practice, you will get better. Also a big tip that goes for just about any game, is how to not rage. Try to remember that if you lose this game, you can learn from your mistakes. Also how much will this game matter next game, or in a month from now, or in a year from now, remember that rage will make you lose concentration and do worse, trust me rage is not the way to go.

Another thing i have learned from cs-go is that it seams a lot of the call of duty community is starting to come over, which is good because we get more traffic, but bad because it means more trolls, and more people who are just plane mean. Try not to let them get to you, because that is what they want, they want a reaction, so just do not give them one.
