Here are some of the questions from an interview with Toma Puck:

Q. What inspired you to become a Youtuber?
Ans. Seeing the big Youtubers having so much fun in their videos

Q. Describe a typical day in your life.
Ans. Waking up, looking for interesting videos / trailers / teasers that would give a good reaction to. Then I record, edit and meanwhile play games, and then upload and watch videos on youtube. Writing descriptions and tags and then mostly playing games the rest of my awake time.

Q. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Ans. Hopefully living alone and doing Youtube full time.

Q. How many people know about your social networking career and your presence on the Internet? Do you like to tell people about it?
Ans.Only my friends. I don't really tell people about it since I find it to be mildly awkward to brag about and talk about.

Q. Do you feel like there is  a constant pressure to keep getting more subscribers and more views on your videos/posts?
Ans.Definitely. If you want to grow you have to keep pushing limits and keeping up to date about new trailers / videos / teasers and such.

Q. Would you encourage more youngsters to take this as their career?
Ans.Yes. It is a very fun thing to do and you can get a lot of praise for your content which always is nice. But you do however need a hard scale. You can't take haters comments too emotionally or they will affect you.

Q. What are some of the shortfalls of Social media careers?
Ans.Mob mentality. If you say one stupid thing in a video people may never forget you. Once someone starts mocking you other people join in on that and thus the mob mentality starts, evolving into a big hate circle. Haven't happened to me, but you can see other people's careers getting destroyed by this.


Q. How does your family and friends react to your online presence?
Ans.My friends are really supportive of it. My parents as well, even though I haven't told them the actual channel. They simply know that I post videos and they support me in that even though they haven't watched a single one of the videos as of yet.

Q. Do you face criticism online? If yes, does it affect your work or your confidence?
Ans.I see bad comments every day. It's usually something stupid, but once in a while there is some actual good criticism that I take to heart and try to improve on. But when there's just people calling me stupid and ugly I tend to brush it off.

Q. Do you have and advice for new YouTubers. What is a DO and what is a DON’T?
Ans.Honestly, start making videos for the fun of it, not because you want fame or anything. It really is a long process behind every video so don't think it will be an easy road, and be ready to invest a lot of time into this. And also try to build a community. Talk to your viewers. Engage with them. Spread happiness. Also, I would suggest you to avoid making enemies in the Youtube scene. This could easily destroy careers.

Q. Do you want to branch into anything more than your current work?
Ans.I want to make gaming videos because I love to play games, but I don't think my viewers would appreciate that to be honest.

Q. What are your views about the careers emerging out of social networking sites?
Ans. Awesome. You can see Youtubers starring in movies which is really amazing because it proves that Youtube is bigger than just a website on the internet. Youtube can really help you achieve more things in life than just creating short videos on the internet.
