YouTube - Your Home and Personal Teacher

I'm sure you know that YouTube has a lot of video categories and among them, you can also find the HowTo + DIY area that brings valuable information in several domains. Actually, this category is full of tutorials and how tos that can help you and bring answers for many of your questions. Moreover, you can even trust most of the clips because they are produced by YouTube's Gurus, experienced members who upload only high-quality and useful clips. In a blog post published today, a YouTube team member tried to underline the quality of those clips and to encourage users to become Gurus for the most popular online video sharing platform on the Internet.

"Have you ever wanted to learn how to play the guitar? Need quick-and-easy steps for changing a tire? Want to silkscreen the coolest T-shirt ever? You can find videos like these, and more, in the goldmine that is HowTo + DIY, the category for people who have special skills or knowledge to share with the world," it is mentioned in the post.

The category is quite rich at this time as a huge number of uploaders are publishing tutorials and training videos in this area. It includes all kinds of clips, starting with computer tricks and ending with massage techniques and how to pick up girls videos.

"Some of the best HowTo + DIY videos are made by our Gurus, which is the name/account type for mavens of YouTube. Browse through some of the top channels and find the Gurus that make the kind of videos you're looking for. So, are you a pro on a subject and want to teach the YouTube community about it? Then become a Guru and show us what you've got! " the message also reads.

What's bad about this YouTube initiative is that all the users are able to become Gurus using the video platform options. If you want to become a Guru, go over to your YouTube account and click on Channel Info. You should be able to see a Channel Type drop-down menu that allows you to choose from up to 5 options: YouTube, Director, Musician, Comedian and Guru.
