Wednesday
I went over to Boogie's house tonight so we could work on our YouTube show some more.
We still haven't heard back from Ray William Johnson, but it's only been one day so we're trying to be patient. I'm sure Ray is really busy, and he probably gets a lot of mail.
Of course, when he sees our email, he'll probably get right back to us once he reads it and realizes we're gonna be future YouTube stars and probably be hanging out together.
In the meantime, Boogie found another BIG YouTube star he thinks we should study.
The guy's name is ShayCarl, and he does videos of his family doing fun and silly stuff. He calls his family the Shaytards, and that's what his Youtube channel is called too.
ShayCarl is a pretty funny guy, and he's also done lots of videos with other YouTube celebrities too, so that's a lesson we can learn from. Boogie and I need to get in touch with some other BIG YouTubers besides Ray William Johnson to see about doing some videos with them.
I'm sure we'll have a HUGE list of BIG BIG YouTube stars who want to do videos with us once word gets out about our new YouTube show.
Boogie and I came up with a name for what we'll call these popular YouTube celebrities. For YouTubers who are really BIG, we're going to say they're in the RED ZONE.
The RED ZONE is only for really BIG YouTubers. People like Ray William Johnson and ShayCarl are in the RED ZONE. It'll be our own cool way to refer to them, and we're gonna use it on our show.
We're pretty sure it'll end up being a super cool buzz word that will catch on all over YouTube, and everyone will start to use it. Pretty soon, everyone on YouTube is going to want to be “in the RED ZONE,” and it'll really make us famous because everyone will know Boogie and I started it.
I suggested to Boogie that we should do the same thing we did with Ray William Johnson and write ShayCarl and the Shaytards a letter. Boogie agreed, and we put our heads together to start writing an email to ShayCarl.
At first we thought we'd just use the same one we sent Ray William Johnson and change the names, but then Boogie pointed out that we should probably personalize it and talk about stuff ShayCarl has done so that he can see we've watched his videos and are serious about this YouTube stuff.
After all, nobody likes to get an email that was sent to someone else first. That doesn't make you feel special.
Here's the letter we wrote to ShayCarl...

subject Shaycarl and the Shaytards YouTube Secrets
Dear ShayCarl,
We really love your YouTube show about you and your family. We think it's really cool how you came up with such an awesome name like the Shaytards for your family.
It must be really fun to get to do videos with them every day as your job. I'm sure your kids love it. We sure would love it if our dads were YouTube celebrities like you are!
Anyway, we're starting our own YouTube show which is gonna be sort of like Ray William Johnson's, but better.
We're gonna talk about cool videos we find each week instead of just about the most popular videos like Ray does.
We wrote Ray a letter too as we figured he'd be happy to share some of his YouTube secrets with us since our show will be an improvised version of his, and we thought it would be really cool to get your advice as well since the Shaytards is such an AWESOME YouTube show too.
Obviously you've learned a lot of stuff about how this whole YouTube thing works, so it would be great if you could share with us any secrets or advice you have.
We really want to make sure our show is going to be a HUGE success like your Shaytards show and Ray William Johnson's show, and we want to get in on making millions of dollars on YouTube as fast as we can.
Keep up the great work, and thanks for your help!
Boogie and Max

(I let Boogie put his name first this time in the signature to keep him happy.)
It took us a while to finish the letter to ShayCarl, and then we spent another couple of hours looking at more YouTube videos before I had to go home.
We're getting quite a long list now of cool videos, so we'll have to decide which ones are the best to use in our first video, and which ones we'll save for the videos after that.
It's a lot of work doing all this research watching videos, writing letters, and planning our own show. I can see why these YouTubers like Ray William Johnson and ShayCarl are making the big bucks. It's not as easy as it looks!
