to introduce you to one of the biggest names in the Facebook content creation

space right now and probably ever one of the many cool things about this guy is

Mark Zuckerberg watches his videos awesome Thanks for having me man

hi my name is Nas and I make a one-minute daily video on Facebook the

concept of making daily videos is not unique but that kind of stuff you do in

the video it is unique so tell me how did you get from a zero to today

um today is a 547 day and from day 0 to day 547 is half a thousand days

honestly the only thing that gets you there is it's not the money it's not

the happiness now it's just like the crazy determination to do something

every day like it's you fucking don't see anything but the video and I think

it's just like a single focus is what gets you to make those videos and

continue for half thousand days so what were you doing before this before I

started making videos I was an engineer just like you I was I was a software

engineer at PayPal and I would spend the best 8 hours of my day looking at a

laptop screen inside an office now I spend the best 8 hours of my day outside

an office looking at a camera screen instead and what happened basically at

what point of life you decided that you want to do this all your life

I'm not well I'm not I can't do this all my life because this minute video per

day is really very very hard so I'm gonna stop at some point because this is

killing me but so your plan is to you know make videos for an year or two

I'm going for a thousand years thousand thousand days then you will stop it for somtime

some probably probably I'll probably take a break we'll see depends

four hundred and thirty more days a lot so we'll see

so workflow I think of ideas it's tough it's every day have to have a good idea

I have to have an idea that's worth making a video about and so I wake up I

check that I launched yesterday's video and then I check the stats I check ok

did it do well did it do bad like I make sure that you know well and then I'm

gonna start going around the house saying fuck fuck fuck fuck what

I do what I do what I do what I do and then I come up with something shooting

the whole day at night edit it and I wake up and repeat interesting so tell

us about you travel the best experience and the worst experience ah the best

situation my travel was probably in the Philippines where I was just greeted

with a lot of people that really cared about the videos that I made and that

was so fun it's so good to see the worst experience probably when my drone gets

taken or when I don't have any videos to me when I back when I was back in New

York and videos didn't do well only so it really is that making videos

being on this YouTube space or Facebook space it's a very lonely space no matter

how many people you surround yourself with it becomes lonely because at the

end of the day you're the one making the videos and you're the ones

editing it's really difficult so do you plan to make a video editing team or

something like that you can you know ideally that's the hope the hope is to

hire more content creators and having create content while I just like felt

the content see was interesting was not but to get to that I to get to get to

that stage is gonna be hard so I'm so this t-shirt looks interesting to me yes

this t-shirt is the nasty on the t-shirt I'm 25 years and for an average u.s.

male you'll live until seventy-six years which means I'm 33% done with life and

so I wear this every single day because it's just easier to travel with just one

t-shirt it's easier to roam at night making decisions but it's also it is

also as a reminder to use time efficiently because you kind of it's so

easy for life to pass by if you don't pay attention and make sure you use the

best of your time that's why I wear this t-shirt and I started selling them even

why Facebook not YouTube it's because everyone in YouTube is a username

there's no real sense of community there is a creator community but there's no

user community when you have YouTube comments just random as names that are

you don't know what they are and so I wanted to make videos that my friends

watch and if you share youtube link on Facebook your friends don't see it

because Facebook doesn't like YouTube links and so pretty much at that point I

was like okay I need to put my views on Facebook where my friends are and it's

easier to go viral there because I want nobody I need to be explored I need to

be discovered I'm not like I'm not like Brad Pitt going to YouTube and everybody

knows Brad Pitt of course they're gonna follow me you too

this is like okay I'm nobody and I need to be discovered and that's why I went

to Facebook so how do you make money out of theater because we know you don't

yeah well add money add money is like small hanging fruits like that low

hanging fruits like I had money you may go say $1.00 but everything else like

sponsorships and deals you make $5 for every dollar and so most of the money I

make is actually from sponsorships or deals or commercials sponsored videos or

or just like speeches and so because you have to immediately followers people are

like oh I want to follow this guy because he's interesting and so

therefore people hire you and you went from that way so there's a lot of I'm

actually making more money than they used to perform with my four before I

started this but also now Facebook is an introduce ads slowly but surely and so

this is just like early beginning days we're certainly coming today they're

like you do so what's the future plan of nice TV like nastily in the next five

years no one knows no one knows ah I'm doing

it I'm gonna day by day for now but eventually I want to grow this is like a

big content platform play and you have a yes we're developing an app to deliver

content or to discover content in a way that you think is unique so the the mean

the main goal this is to be the main goal this is that to have nice daily

sustain itself and have viewers and people to care what not and grow without

me having to make a video every day so what's the best advice really give to a

person who who is planning to start this week every should uh you should have

consistency you should be consistent every single day you have a lot of

people like consistency if you say you're gonna make a video per week you

fucking better we give you for me if you make a video per day you have to be deep

today like there's no room that so that's what now all I think about right

now video today and then tomorrow I am

principal making another video tomorrow it's like one of those things where I'm

like you know I get all this memory cards all SD cards and put them in one

big file and then say okay today's project is staying at 547 and then see

what shots I have but I had this script so I write the words what I want to be

like I just sort divorce for today's video and then I just like put shots on

top of that just to make it more visually appealing so that people

actually continue watching and that's a big day either group arrived for the

beautiful horse surrounded by good-looking friends and lots of

fireworks and music and then I waited for my bride to arrive she did arrive on

a beautiful boat then got carried by four strong men on wedding day I the

groom I right up to Anna beautiful horse surrounded by good-looking friends and

lots of fireworks and music and then I waited for my bride to arrive she did

arrive on a boat then was Kim and then input the skeleton the words matter more

than the visuals that's an every video the words that come out of my mouth are

more important than how I look it's you know the ideation is me I run this books

by my girlfriend to make sure I didn't fuck up I try to

run the script by a lot of people mainly my girlfriend to make sure there's no

grammar problem to make sure it flows because she's very good with like you

know grammar and the structural of ideas let's make sure that these are structure

and so as it grew more and more more the responsibilities go higher and higher

and higher so this point I'm going to trust myself to describe something if

you have a list or something that you sit on a Sunday and write it up here at

my next seven video ideas or some no I can't predict that far ahead

usually I can only think two days ahead yeah and you have a backup of something

like you scheduled reducers no no no schedules so tomorrow me I have nothing

tomorrow schedule so I Lodge tomorrow what if you have busy enough lying or

something I want I make sure I'm free like my life revolves around the videos

the videos don't revolve around my life that's that's that's the major

difference if you want to actually succeed your life needs to revolve

around what you do you shouldn't what you do should never

fall around you
