I'm Laowhy86 - China Based YouTuber/Actor
For those of you who don't know me or my channel, I am Laowhy86 (http://www.youtube.com/laowhy86) - a China based YouTuber/Actor.
Having lived in China for over 8 years, I decided awhile back to start a YouTube channel to document my adventures, and my general impressions of daily life. Since I started, the channel has shot up in popularity (138,000 subscribers, 22,000,000 views), and a significant community has grown around my family and I. I teamed up with the biggest YouTuber in China, SerpentZA, to create a second channel - ADVChina, which is a talk show about China, societal issues, and what is generally happening in the country from the eyes of an American, and a South African. This channel has also taken off in popularity, with almost 120,000 subscribers.
From there we also teamed up with a production team from England to follow our journey in a TV documentary, Conquering Southern China where SerpentZA and I rode our handbuilt motorcycles across southern China over 5000 km. We specifically took the back roads to be able to interact with the real rural citizens of China, and the show was met with critical acclaim.

With the second season, Conquering Northern China in production now, I have plenty of stories and insights from not only my time living here, but also my adventures around nearly the entire country.

The community surrounding Laowhy86, ADVChina, and SerpentZA have led me to Steemit, and I am really excited start posting here participating in the community. I have read through the goal and mission of Steemit, and I feel it's something that me, and the whole Laowinner community can get behind (you guys know who you are!).
Great to see you made it to steemit, I have just moved over to steemit also, and came from twitter where I have around 700,000 followers. As such, it will be interesting to see how you plan to move your followers over to steemit with you. I will be watching closely
We get our followers drip by drip as we share over to the other platforms and networks. We got to just remain constant through a lot of MOMENTUM and be patient & make videos & memes and GIFs and articles and everything and tag and link our stuff to Steemit and share our stuff everywhere each day. Be creative. Keep going. Good work. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
It should be an interesting process, and I hope we manage to move a lot of them to this awesome platform!
Hey C-Milk, I'm glad you checked it out, I'm resteeming your post! Konrad.
Thanks Konrad! Really happy you suggested this :)
Dude, my pleasure! Together with @mayasiam we have been watching your videos for over a year now.
Wow, that is fantastic. What a cool platform this is!
Is winston here on steemit?
Hi Mathew, awesome pic and your campest smile ever ;-)
Hey @laowhy86 C-Milk, I watch your YouTube videos often, along with SerpansZAs. I loved the Conquering South China series and can't wait to watch the Conquering Northern China series. Keep up the good work
Cheers
Rob
Thanks so much for watching and enjoying our show! We all can't wait to see CNC, which should be out around October/November. Then we have to compete with audiences binging on Stranger Things, season 2 haha
Wishing you all the best. I very much look forward to October/November. I will be sure to watch it :)
YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Did you guys read the comments I made on Youtube about joining Steemit? I mention you guys so often when I talk about China on Steemit, so glad I can now link a Steemit account in those convos :D.
Will Prozzie, Vivi and Serpant join as well? :)
Awesome stuff! A few people told me about Steemit, and I am sure you were one of them that pushed me towards the site. You know how it is when people recommend a new social media, but eventually it clicked haha. I will try and get them over here, but they are not much for writing :)
Mathew, you are the second of my favorite youtubers to get a steemit account,
@silversmyth was the first, I will ask her to follow you,
Fantastic! I should learn from her approach to getting her subscribers here too!
Hi Mathew,
I sent her some of your videos too, months ago,
and the approach of dropping her name here and there is mine, not hers...I would not blow my own trumpet, so to speak but I like to share stuff from Youtubers I like... even with other Youtubers ...
Thanks for answering, :-)
oh almost forgot https://steemit.com/china/@danny-boel/re-capone145-how-is-transportation-in-china-20170618t155835776z
