I am a youtuber living and working in New York City and you are probably
thinking what does that mean what do I do
where do I work in this video we're going to explore exactly what I do
and where I work so it's a question that I get asked a lot but in 2018 it's
pretty safe to say that most people know that you can have a career making videos
online as a creator the influencer category is it one billion-dollar
industry this is honestly what fuels my work coffee press for the win oh it's
very hot I am incredibly thankful and I've worked for years to make a living
as a full time youtuber and now for the big question how does being a youtuber
actually work well it's different for every creator you know there's no one
defined answer to that question YouTube itself pays by views via Adsense I have
a production company where I produce content for brands and finally I work
very closely with select brands in paid partnerships with that said I spend the
majority of my time planning writing filming and editing videos and I choose
to base myself here in New York because it is one of the largest travel hubs in
the whole world and almost every major company has headquarters here given that
I work freelance I don't have a nine-to-five there's a few places that I
choose to work from and I'm going to show you my day-to-day workflow and why
each specific spot that I work from has its benefits
I have to say before we really dive into this video that most of the places that
I'm about to show are more so geared towards freelancers you know people who
aren't really working it's the nine-to-five the first spot on my list
is a staple for the New York freelancer it is the coffee shop the spot we're
going to now is one of my favorite coffee spots in the whole city the
coffee shop is more or less the entry-level work space for the New York
City creative you know the costs are very low a cup of coffee is about two to
three dollars there's free internet coffee shops in New York built very fast
my tip is to they're early stake out your claim if
the coffee shop is perfect for what I would like to call passive work meaning
I wouldn't go to a coffee shop and take on some big project mainly I go to the
coffee shop to edit photos to work on video scripts and to just sort of people
watch it's one of those places where you can always find inspiration just
watching it you know the streets of the city and the people and all the noises
the only drawback is the fact that they can get very very crowded as the day
goes on which brings us to the next location that I work from in this place
right here this is where I get the heavy duty work done you probably guess it the
second spot that I work from the majority of the time is my apartment and
the best thing about working from home is the fact that I can work in my
underwear it's very casual there's no dress code policy here you've probably
seen my apartment tour you've probably seen all the videos I've made on this
apartment the kind of work that I do from home that's the big jobs those are
the big heavy edits I sit right here let me zoom this out I sit right here at my
computer and I will spend some day as well the 13-14 hours right here at this
desk editing even though it's a beautiful day we have to shut these
windows all distractions are gone and now we are just in the Edit filmmaking
portal when I'm working on those glossy travel videos this is what my office
looks like it's pretty much an edit Bay but there always comes a time where you
have to dress up and you need a place that is a bit more appropriate for
business meetings
for my next space that I work from in the city I am joined by my business
partners the one and only mr. Mike shepherd a and manager jeredy now you
don't go following on instagram at manager Jerrod as you can see behind
these beautiful glass doors we have two computers with monitors we have two
desks two or three chairs depending on how many people need to be in here
there's endless coffee you have the bottomless coffee cups here then you
have these nice little tables if you want to take a call out in the kitchen
area the view out the window just a nice New York City brownstone apartments one
big benefit from working in a co-working space is the fact that you have blazing
internet you have a printing station copying station basically all the
amenities that you have in a corporate office but it's a bit more bespoke bit
more low-key a bit more startup world which is great because there's people
here that are mainly startups and that's very inspiring to be in a space like
that we also get mail here and a big thing in New York City which a lot of
people may not realize is that it's difficult to get mail if you're not home
if you don't have a doorman you just can't get mail having a place in office
that you know your mail will be safe and secure is also a big benefit to have any
office another really cool feature of this co-working space is the fact that
we have these little rooms that you can make phone calls tiny little private
rooms chair it's actually more right now let's go this is a perfect campaign I
cannot wait to tell the guys about it they're gonna be very excited another
big positive for the co-working space is the fact that you have access to these
massive conference rooms you could have five 10 15 people in this room they are
quiet no one will disturb you I mean what do you think about this I mean it's
great this is what we do and this is where we have the big meetings if you
are looking for that professional business setting getting a co-working
space would be your go-to bet one of the only drawbacks that I can really find to
a co-working space is the fact that it's kind of pricey you know you're paying
rent it's not a coffee shop it's not free you know it's not your apartment
rent which is your cost of you know you're living there and working there so
it's an extra rent on top of your rent which can add up
the last option before having a place to work in New York is actually having your
own physical studio space and I'm here with deewana and only Sam Shepard I make
youtube videos that are mostly focused on technology and exploring the world of
tech and then I also stream on Twitch pretty regularly our content is very
different and I think that reflects in the spaces that we work what is this
space what is this building this is the world-famous 368 Broadway in downtown
Manhattan Casey Neistat works down the hall the entire building is filled with
creatives and artists I literally only am in my apartment for sleeping these
days I get here it's been the entire day here make videos here edit videos here
play video games here have meetings here it is actually very interesting because
I spend a lot of time working from home I was actually thinking about this
there's some days when I'm editing videos where I don't leave my apartment
where I'm just working from home and you were saying that you're only at your
apartment to sleep yeah and I'm like hearing that I'm kind of envious that
Sam has a place that he can just come to and solely create as a creative in New
York having your own space to make things is the pinnacle of I guess making
it as a creator so you're very lucky to have a space like this it's very dope I
agree and with that you want to give us a little tour of it yeah let's do it
I love giving tours this is the spot right here there's uh there's some other
human beings in here right now but the most important human being in here
besides me and Eric is Patrick back there Patrick works for Casey Patrick
and I share the space so we're in here together
every single day I actually rent this space from Casey though like I said is
down the hall II kind of one day was just like hey you want to rent the space
for me I don't really use it so when I got here this was pretty much built all
the way out like the chair was in here the desk was in here these like fake
plants were in here the lights in the windows were here the loft was in here
everything was totally built out so I moved in and slowly but surely all of my
gear moved in with me and now it looks like this so being that this is Casey's
annex he's got a bunch of stuff stored up there all sorts of prompts and just
like weird random kc things up there and then
on the shelves above is various gears there's actually some Bitcoin miners up
there immediately behind the door is the skateboard wall I travel on my boosted
board exclusively like I never walk when I'm in Manhattan I ride my electric
skateboard everywhere custom-built main gear my pride and joy what is the green
stuff in there does that actually do anything it's a liquid cooling rig so
there's liquid flowing through there onto the GPU and then onto the CPU yeah
it's it's legit and you know sometimes when you want to just pump out some
pull-ups you just you just can do it right here if you are more into tech I
actually made a video on Sims channel going over basically gear to how to
become a youtuber yeah so if you're interested it check that out the videos
