The Island Boys kissing on social media? What happened to the island boys, where are the island boys now and what led to this only fans baiting island boys incest? Today we look at the rise and fall of the island boys and their falls from grace. #theislandboys #whathappenedto #wherearetheynow #riseandfall The Island Boys, comprising fraternal twins, Alex and Franky Venegas, initially burst into the limelight through their viral videos on the social media platform TikTok, quickly amassing a vast following due to their unique looks and lifestyle. Known for their tattoo-clad bodies and pineapple-styled hair, the twins captured the attention of netizens around the globe. Hailing from West Palm Beach, Florida, the Island Boys leveraged their newfound popularity to venture into the music industry. They released their debut single, "Island Boys," and frequently shared snippets of their music, often freestyling, on their social media profiles. Despite criticism and controversy, their raw, unfiltered style was a significant factor in their rise to fame, garnering them a dedicated fan base. Their online presence was both their strength and their Achilles' heel. They often found themselves embroiled in public feuds and controversies, which sometimes outshone their musical endeavors. Nevertheless, they leveraged these incidents, transforming them into opportunities to increase their online engagement and visibility. However, as time went by, their novelty began to wear off. The controversies and criticisms began to outweigh their popularity, and their music career started to flounder. As the social media landscape is notoriously fickle, their star began to fade as quickly as it had risen. Despite their rapid rise and equally swift decline, the Island Boys left a distinct imprint on the landscape of internet celebrity culture. Their story serves as a reminder of the transient nature of internet fame and the volatile balance between popularity and controversy. While their career trajectory was short-lived, their impact on digital culture, for better or worse, remains undeniable.

The more specific your niche, the easier it will be to target your audience and grow your channel.

This will help you understand what works and what doesn't in your niche, and will give you ideas on how to differentiate your content. Develop a content strategy: Based on your research, develop a content strategy for your channel. Plan out your videos and create a content calendar to ensure that you are consistent with your posting schedule.

Share your videos on social media, collaborate with other YouTubers in your niche, and engage with your viewers by responding to comments and messages. Engage with your audience: One of the key factors in building a successful YouTube channel is engaging with your audience. Respond to comments, ask for feedback, and listen to your viewers' suggestions. This will not only help you build a loyal community, but also give you ideas for future content.

You can do this through ads, sponsorships, merchandise sales, and other revenue streams. Stay up-to-date with YouTube policies: To avoid any issues with YouTube, make sure you are familiar with their policies and guidelines. Keep your content appropriate and respectful, and follow their rules for monetization, copyright, and community standards.

Where is BTS now? The rise and fall of BTS was fast and huge. From south korean mega band to world wide sensation, BTS took over the world. But with military service looming, is this the end of BTS? #bts #btsarmy #whathappenedto #wherearetheynow #riseandfall BTS, also known as Bangtan Sonyeondan, or the Bangtan Boys, emerged from Big Hit Entertainment in South Korea in 2013. Comprising of seven members - RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, the group redefined K-pop, crossing boundaries with their powerful lyrics, innovative music style, and intense performances. Their raw discussions on socio-cultural issues set them apart, resonating with the youth worldwide, leading to an immense global fanbase known as 'ARMY.' BTS quickly gained popularity in South Korea with their debut album "2 Cool 4 Skool." Their breakthrough internationally came with their second full album, "Wings," in 2016, marking their place on Billboard 200. The group achieved an unprecedented level of global fame, breaking numerous records. Their album "Love Yourself: Tear" (2018) debuted at number one on Billboard 200, a first for any Korean act. The group’s rise reached new heights in 2020 when they released their single "Dynamite," which became their first song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Their influence extended beyond music, impacting fashion, language learning, and tourism, and advocating for mental health awareness and youth empowerment. However, around 2023, their activities began to slow down. Members began pursuing individual projects, exploring solo music careers, and focusing on personal lives, following the South Korean tradition of mandatory military service. Their gradual withdrawal from group activities marked the beginning of the end of an era, with their last album as a complete group, marking the pinnacle of their illustrious journey. Despite the hiatus, BTS' legacy continues to reverberate through global music, breaking cultural barriers, leaving a lasting impact on millions of fans. Their story, a testament to hard work, resilience, and the power of music, sets a precedent for future artists worldwide. Their fall from active music-making is viewed more as a graceful bow out than a tragic collapse, given their immeasurable contributions and influence.

In this episode of TubeTalk, we chat with Alan Spicer, YouTube consultant and blogger, about gaining 1,000 subscribers and beyond. His YouTube growth channel, Alan Spicer, has 34,000 subscribers. He also has thousands of subscribers on other YouTube channels, and books clients on his website, alanspicer.com Alan has reviewed lots of channels and has noticed a pattern with successful creators. Typically, channels with over 1,000 subscribers have three things in common. 1. The Content Is Hyperfocused and Entertaining There are two ways to start a successful YouTube channel. The first option is making focused content that caters to one audience. But if you don’t know what your niche should be, you can explore different topics to see what gets more views. Be warned, though: The results for this option are unpredictable. You’re letting the numbers decide what your niche should be, even if you aren’t passionate about the topic. That’s why we recommend option one – finding a topic you love and sticking to it. Is your YouTube niche worth pursuing? Ask yourself three questions to find out: Can I talk about this topic for hours? Am I passionate about it? Are video ideas coming to me effortlessly? If your answer to all three questions is “yes,” you have a niche worth exploring. Whether that’s cooking, baseball highlights, makeup, or something else, embrace your newfound topic! Narrowing your focus is the fastest way to get 1,000 subscribers on YouTube. The deeper you dive into a subject, the better your chances of attracting like-minded viewers. If you’re a Minecraft creator, for example, viewers will subscribe to watch hundreds of gaming tutorials. Making how-to content is a sure-fire way to stand out on YouTube. But don’t forget to be informative and entertaining. Spicer sees this formula all the time as a YouTube consultant – and it works. “You can still be educational and funny,” Spicer says. “[A fencing company] was making content about ‘how to’ this and ‘how to’ that, which was great. But then they made a video that was all about a specific building material…. It’s a nice time-lapse thing, and it’s entertaining. But it still was within their focus of them telling us how to put up that fence and the specific materials you need to use.” Of course, the video went viral. The fencing company got views from their audience and people who enjoyed the time-lapse video. 2. The Creator Is an Expert – or Passionate About Becoming One Did you know it takes some creators years to reach 1,000 YouTube subscribers? During that time, they post dozens of videos, if not hundreds. That’s why passion is invaluable on YouTube. If you aren’t excited about your niche, it’s hard to keep going with little to no views and subscribers. Chances are, you will lose motivation. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/startcreatingpodcast/message
