So, I guess when you think of technical writing, it's like writing manuals and documents and how to guides and stuff. Liz: I was a technical writer, but I did internal documentation. I feel like most people don't, and I think a lot of people go crazy with it and write too many things, but just keep it short. Lizzy sharer update#Jon: So, this is completely off where we’re going but, what tips could you have for your LinkedIn profile? Liz: Update it. That was my first job ever, because I interned there and then. Liz: I worked at LinkedIn as a Technical Writer. Jon: And when you graduated you said you moved to San Francisco? And then senior year I just focused on my grades. Liz: Yeah, I swam for the first two years of school and then I studied abroad my junior year, so I didn't really swim much. Liz: I went to Carnegie Mellon and I got a Bachelor of Science in Statistics and Technical Writing. Jon: You mentioned going to college in Pittsburgh, where did you go? Jon: Are you telling me that the weather in LA is better than it is in Virginia in the summer? Liz: Just more opportunities in terms of collaborating with people and then the weather is a huge factor because most of our videos are done outside because we do just a lot of fun, outdoor crazy stuff and it's really hard to do that in the winter. Liz: I was in college which was Pittsburgh and I moved out to San Francisco for work and then I moved back to Virginia a year ago. Liz: I guess Virginia for the most part of YouTube and then before that. Jon: And then until recently you were living where? Jon: I was going to ask you about that too. Liz: We have a wall and we put them all up, so we have one for my dog. Jon: Where, and I’ll tell you this after we're done with the interview why I ask this question, where do you have your plaques? Liz: Yeah I don't-I think it's more an organization thing than anything but yeah, I guess since I just like grew so quickly, like it kinda like, yeah I don't know. Jon: Does that ever happen? I mean I've never heard of that happening. So I redeemed my 100k subscriber and my million play button the same day. Lizzy sharer code#I didn't have a manager or a YouTube rep or anything for the longest time, so I didn't- the way it works is they email you congratulations, they send you a code and you redeem your plaque. If they crossed in the mail, they still send them. Jon:YouTube sends plaques when you get to certain levels, what plaques, what levels are they at? What plaques have you received? Liz: There's 100,000 subscribers which I received and then like two weeks later I got the 1 million subscribers. Liz: We initially started off building Stephen’s channel and through Stephen’s channel we had a lot of character development where Carter is his brother and then I came onhelping out with everything and so I already kind of had a following on his channel and so it was a lot easier to sling shot my channel to. Jon: Okay so the first question has to be, how did you grow your following that fast? Jon: Oh so you’re even more of an over-achiever. I actually started my channel in February, that’s when my first video was posted, of 2018. Jon: And over 210 million views in one year. Jon: And you already have 1.5 million subscribers.
