Raiti’s Rides: Joe Raiti Shares His Quarantine Experience As A Daily YouTuber. | 053

Joe Raiti started Raiti's Rides to share the passion of
performance cars with as many people as possible. As of this day,
they have hundreds of thousands of subscribers and it just keeps
growing! 


Joe caught the car bug at a very young age. Growing up in his
father’s mechanic shop, Joe learned quickly how to appreciate the
inner workings of the internal combustion engine. After
graduating from college, he raced formula cars professionally for
three years. He has a wide variety of knowledge on many different
makes and models and is considered an expert in Corvettes,
Porsches, and imports.


Joe uses his Youtube channel to share his passion for car
performance by giving car reviews. It’s his second time here in
Why Influence and in his first guesting, he already garnered 22
million YouTube views and 86k subscriptions. And now for less
than a year, he has made 78 million views and 258k subscribers
upgrade.


“The biggest thing that people have come to me with is ‘Well,
Joe, this is going to be mega for you because of everybody's
home. And everybody's just gonna watch YouTube.’ But what I
discovered is when the pandemic first hit, I actually had a big
decline in views.”


It may be true that this quarantine period is unlocking the “free
time” for a lot of people, and watching videos is one of the
things we could do to kill time, but the truth is, according to
Joe, many people are actually in a panic mode. They can’t enjoy
spending time with their phone. They are all anxious about what’s
going to happen next. 


As a matter of fact, Joe’s decline in views dropped by about 40%
from last month. 


The quarantine prohibits everyone to leave their house and makes
almost everything temporarily shutdown. As for Joe, his career
involves going to places where he makes his car video content to
share with the world every day.


“So I went into this panic mode where I was literally every day
filming about seven to eight cars a day to try to just build a
treasure chest so to speak, so that, if our city, our state went
into lockdown, I would then still at least be able to pull up one
video a day and have some kind of footage.”


“And now that I've seen how Florida has navigated through this
because dealerships are essential, businesses, and because I'm
classified as a journalist, as an automotive journalist, I've
been able to still get out there.”


With the help of his connections and while still following safety
protocols and CDC procedures, he is able to consistently create
and upload videos every day on his Youtube channel. And as the
new normal continues, he is planning to make virtual car reviews
through B-roll footage from companies as a basis.


Joe expressed a big dedication in his passion that’s why it is
crystal clear that he deserves the achievements he has right now.
He is an inspiration to everyone who wants to succeed as they
follow their heart’s desires no matter how impossible it may
be.
