ThatDudeinBlue: David Patterson Shares Why He Reviews Cars on YouTube and How He's Grown Over 1M Subs. | 030

David Patterson’s YouTube channel, ThatDudeinBlue, has over 1
million subscribers and a total of 240 million views.
Additionally, he has 270 thousand Instagram and 52,000 Facebook
followers.


When he posted a video to a local car community, the negative
comments he received about his work really stung.


“My Dad believed in me and said just ignore them. It will get
worse in future, so you should learn how to handle them now,” he
said.


“He was right.”


Patterson had to learn to ignore trolls on the internet as much
as possible.


“I really had to prove myself.”


“I wanted to create a very open-minded and inviting online
community. That was my goal.”


For new influencers who are starting out and are feeling
discouraged, Patterson urges them not to give up.


“Always experiment. Notice if you need to change anything,
because its harder to change later on”


“Don’t create a persona. Your brand should be who you are, not
what you are.”
