I continued to refine and optimize my videos to garner as much organic traffic as possible. As I did this, I noticed my organic traffic from YouTube's recommendations began to grow. I learned that the vast majority of the people watching my videos were men between 20 and 34 years old, so I started finding products and video ideas that would better suit that demographic's interests.

The catalyst was a new printer I received that year as a holiday present. Especially after seeing other fellow tech enthusiasts like Marques Brownlee and Unbox Therapy find so much success on the platform. So the idea to start a YouTube channel where I get to explore all the latest in consumer technology and review it for others to see and learn about, came naturally to me. Ever since I was a little kid, I would get extremely excited whenever a new phone or tablet was released, and I would do just about anything I could to get time to interact with them. I've always been fascinated by consumer technology.
