About
Hi! Paul Here!
I am the creator and host of Geography Now! A Youtube Edu-tainment based series that covers profiles on every single internationally recognized sovereign nation of the world, in the realms of vexilogical (The study of flags) political, physical, demographical and diplomatical Geography.
-And we do it with lots of easy to follow visual aids because if you're like me, you hate reading words and would prefer to learn by looking at shiny objects dangling if front of your face.
I love doing this channel however each episode takes up about 30-40 hours to create and it gets really slow because I have to pay my rent as well as other expenses. To survive in a relatively decent way in LA a person must raise about $3-4,000 a month. You MIGHT be able to slide by with $2,000 if you stretch your payments.
Half of the time I cannot upload a video as fast as I would like because I have to work a side job that barely pays for my living expenses (Typically I dog sit and do promotion marketing gigs when I'm not filming)
Ideally I want to live in a setting where I don't have to worry about making my payments and I get to make all the amazing content that my subscribers have grown to love alongside with me. I have a huge passion for Geography and love making my videos. Please help and support me by donating anything. Honestly if each of my subscribers donated ONE dollar a month, that would be more than enough! That's $12 a YEAR. NOT MUCH AT ALL!!

Hey peeps!
As some of you know I love making my GeographyNow videos and a lot of you have been giving me amazing feedback and I love seeing your enthusiasm and support for my channel.
Here's the problem. Making each video takes a really long time. Currently I do the work of like 5 people, I research, write the script, Host the show, Animate the motion graphics on After Effects, edit the clips together on Final cut and work out the legalities of each video by maintaining a safe stance with copyright laws. Thankfully I have a cameraman, my friend Brandon, but overall It's a LOT of work.
-Now add on top of that that the fact that I have to pay rent and feed myself
FORTUNATELY I just unlocked the Youtube space here in LA which means the videos will now have MUCH better quality visually and audio-wise, in addition to motion graphics and overall content.
HOWEVER in order to survive at a decent manageable level here in LA, one must accumulate around $3-$4,000 a month, You MIGHT be able to slide by with $2000.
If each of my subscribers donated just ONE dollar a month that would be MORE than enough, that's only $12 a YEAR. That's like 2 meals at subway. If you can sacrifice 2 meals at subway for me for the ENTIRE YEAR, you could potentially help me live, and make amazing videos teaching about Geography, and continuing on as the FIRST channel on youtube tackling the daunting task of covering educational profiles of the nearly 200 sovereign nations of the world.
Donations will go first and foremost towards paying my rent and utilities, and living expenses (like food, transportation, ...etc) Any extra expenses will go towards equipment and expenses used for my videos and channel. Honestly, I just need to pay my rent. If you guys could help me with that that would be AMAZING
Please help me out. I'm serious. Geography is so important and I really want to follow through with this channel. Don't let it die out.
