So, before I get to the actual video...

I have a huge announcement

*Sigh*

I said HUGE announcement!

Thank you.

I... Just want to let you guys know that

I am a genius now

In the literal-ly arts

Because I wrote a book!

Yayyyyyyy!

Gotta' start working out again D:

And I know this is very sudden news for a lot of you

Specially if you don't follow me on Twitter

at @therealryanhiga

Or my Instagram at @notryanhiga

Or on my Facebook at

the fac- Facebook.com sla- ugh...???

But the reason for that is that

I don't like to promote myself...

Or my own products,

because I this that's very selfish and conceited

and I think--

facebook.com/higatv.

That's what it was.

Make sure you guys like my page,

share all my videos,

and make sure you guys go check it right now.

But yeah, I wrote a book.

It is called "How to write good."

and this is the cover.

This is not the actual book,

I just printed out the cover and put it on a different book.

This is Radio Graphic Pethology for Technologists, fifth edition.

Obviously, my book is gonna be better.

Because my book has pictur--

Oh, this has pictures of brains and stuff.

I don't know why, why am I reading this?

But yeah, I wrote the book

It's called "How to Write Good"

It's very...I mean it came from my mind so it's very different

And I'm going to be honest it's v- super weird

I don't think most people who casually read books

are going to like it because it's so different

But, uh - say that you have a big announcement,

I did that, in fact I said it was huge

Don't let the fans know this is a promo,

Of course not, I'm not an idiot

And very important,

Make book sound interesting

Do not call book weird or anything else negative

Towards the...*awkward silence*

This book "How to write good" is so damn good

It is...sorry, so damn well

Can't be making those kinds of mistakes anymore,

I'm a published author now

This is the best book ever

It is not weird, it is not anything that I have to say negative about it

It is exactly like every other bestselling book out there right now

Except for the fact that it hasn't sold that much yet

But other than that, it's the same thing

There's a cover...with pictures in it

There are words, so many words

I have the best words, huge words

*um* going off topic

The reason I'm bringing this up, other than I am promo- not promoting my book

*wink wink* *bright smile*

*triple wink wink* *triple bright smiles*

Is because writing a book is a very important stage in a YouTuber's career

It means I am in one of the final stages of my YouTube career

And my YouTube life, so...

Ooh, yeah! *laughs*

What are you guys doing?

That means we can get out of here right?

Yeah, it's really cramped back here

I have to poop so bad.

No, I said one of the final stages, not the end

*ugh* just watch the video

There are 10 major stages in the life of a Youtuber

You already know one of the final stages called write a book

But we'll get to that later

Also keep in mind some of these stages maybe out of order for some people

But for the most part these are stages almost every YouTuber goes through at some point

So let's start with the first one

Stage one Just For Fun

Not all but the majority of youtubers first start at creating their YouTube channel because of an interest they had and they want to give it a shot

Not for fame , Not for money They basically started making videos just for fun

Stage 2 I'm Smelling Poo

Will: What?

'Cause... 'cause you're famous now

So you think you're the s***

You know?

You could've made a better title than that

Yeah, I feel like you just said that because it rhymes

K- you know what guys, can I just -

*sigh" Stage 2

I'm smelling poo

This is the stage where you first start to discover your popularity

You start getting recognized from the streets,

you have fans,

people want pics and autographs,

and for you, you pretend like you don't enjoy all this attention

because it happens "all the time"

But deep down,

Let's be real, you love it, 'cause

you feel special

The more successful you get, the more hate and negativity you'll receive

and this is the stage where you make your first video about haters

and why you can't understand why they're so hateful

because it bothers you a lot knowing that even though you're so loved,

There's a lot of people out there that hate you

Stage 4 is when you get even more popular

The peak of your YouTube career

And with all that fame, you get more and more haters

But now that you've seen it so much

You've learned that hating on haters doesn't work

This is the part where you put on a cool guy act

and pretend that hater comments

don't affect you anymore

But in reality...

It still does.

There's always that moment after your peak of your Youtube career

where things start to slow down a little bit

and that's when you begin to freak out

and start questioning yourself

You start doubting your own content...

And eventually, you start to change your content

In order to try in bring your growth

back to what it used to be

It's pretty much desesperation time

This is where you start using the old strategies, such as:

Click bait thumbnails

and titles, collabing with other random youtubers

so you can increase your subs

and this is when you start doing more popular, trendy challenges

Just anything it takes to get you more viewers

and after a while,

your content's not even what you started out making

You're just making stuff to get views

You're depressed now,

Because your YouTube fame has been dying down for a while now

However, this is the stage where you magically turn that all around

by watching one inspirational, motivational speaker

on Facebook talk about happiness :)

and then you take that speakers advice to heart

and overexaggerate it

not just to yourself, but all your fans as well

After a few months of being overly positive,

you realize you were putting up a front

and you weren't really as happy as you were pretending to be

or preaching others to be

Now you decide: do you keep making Youtube videos

or do you quit

and go and pursue something else

like acting or making a movie.

And regardless of what you decide,

You still make a video telling all your fans

that you want to quit YouTube

*angry punching*

You told everyone you were done with YouTube, but

You're back

It was a joke. What a suprise.

After such a long break from YouTube,

You feel hyped and refreshed

And ready to start taking YouTube seriously again

You also found that passion again of what first got you started

However, this doesn't last very long.

Because of your long break from YouTube,

Your growth and your views are lower than ever

perhaps its time to take drastic measures

Maybe you should rebrand yourself

maybe start drama with another YouTuber
