Josh Rice is taking over the YouTube world.

Known as “J Rice” to YouTubers, I tried to call him a tripple threat, but he is even better than that (watch the interview below to see what I mean)

With more than 115,000 YouTube subscribers and over 20 million total views he is quickly rising as one of the top musical talents in the “underground” YouTube singers world.

What are the main things Josh has done to become a YouTube sensation?

It’s a simple formula in my opinion

1. He builds quality relationships with other YouTube singers - and over delivers by providing them with tracks and music for them to use
2. Has a sweet talent – you gotta be good to attract viewers, or have some sort of expertise which Josh clearly has
3. Takes action- those that take action see results
4. Stays consistent – There are a number of talented singers out there, but 99% of them aren’t consistent enough to get noticed and see success.

Josh is a serious mutant.  Before you watch the interview below, listen to his voice on this Rihanna/Eminem remix (watch out, it’s super additive to play on repeat

That’s right, Josh played the music himself (it wasn’t some recording online), he produced the video, sings (obviously), and wrote part of the lyrics during the “rap” as well.

Like I said.  He’s a Mutant! 

Make sure to watch this interview below to learn more about how Josh has built his YouTube empire and the things any business owner can take away to grow their following and business with YouTube as well. (for some reason both of our Skype video was acting up at times during this interview just in case you wondering why it’s not as sharp as usual)

Nick Pitera is a YouTube Celebrity.

However, being a YouTube sensation only his part time gig.

You see, Nick works full time at Pixar, but his passion is singing.

I was attracted to Nick for two main reasons:

1. His Unique Talent (watch the video below to see)
2. His Passion for his Talent

He has a unique singing talent that has gained a multitude of media attention including being on the Ellen Degeneres Show… TWICE!

Nick also has over 80 million video views, but that isn’t what’s most unique about him.

He does something special with his voice that no one is really doing (and he often sees criticism for showcasing it).

His critics don’t stop him, however, as he has bigger goals in mind and his consistent action to produce more YouTube videos with the music he loves is taking him to higher places.

I sat down with Nick to ask him about his journey. 

In this interview Nick covers what it’s like to be “YouTube Famous”, what he does to get so many views on all of his videos, his business model on YouTube, and what anyone can be doing on YouTube to help build their own business.

Make sure to watch this in depth interview, and then watch some of his highly popular videos below.

I’m in love with Video Sales Letters.

Why?

They do a few great things better than “normal” sales letters… like

1. Get your message across better than text or audio.
2. Educate your target audience more visually.
3. Build trust and a connection with potential customers
4. Convert better than “normal” sales letters.

There are a number of reasons why they are great, but these are a few.

I’ve created two video sales letters so far and have been blown away with the results.

There are obvious results in terms of increasing my own sales, but also by being able to educate my audience better through video as well.

If you’ve ever thought about how powerful video sales letters are, how much more of an increase you can expect to see over long copy sales letters, and why every major company is using some type of video sales letter to promote a product, then make sure to watch this in depth video interview I did with James Wedmore.

James is one of the best in the biz when it comes to video sales letters so make sure to watch and let me know your feedback in the comments section below.
