YouNow Rising Broadcasters - Sean Luellen
Recently on YouNow there was a competition held for the YouNow community to best describe what YouNow is, how they heard about it, how does it work and what has YouNow done for them.
During the competition 19 people submitted videos. Sean Luellen, an avid YouNow broadcaster provided an awesome video describing the site. To show our gratitude and appreciation we at YouNow did an interview with Sean and gave him some “airtime” on our blog. Check out the below interview to learn more about Sean and don’t forget to also “friend” him on FaceBook.
Q1) Where are you from?
A1) I am from Virginia in the USA
Q2) What is your favorite thing about YouNow?
A2) My favorite thing about YouNow is the fact that people like me and are watching me from all around the world!
Q3) What are your passions\dreams in life?
A3) My passions are fighting, comedy, photography, singing, style, and helping people. My dream is to become someone people can look up to, be a beacon of light in the dark you could say!
Q4) How did you find out about YouNow?
A4) I found out about YouNow on YouTube, and have been loving it ever since!
Q5) Who is your favorite musician and what is your favorite song?
A5) My favorite musician is maybe A Day To Remember, and my favorite song is If it means a lot to you By them! But they are just one of many favorites.
Q6) What would you like the world to know about you?
A6) I would say I want the world to know that if you ever need someone to talk to when your feeling down just tweet me or watch one of my videos or talk to me some other way. I’m here to help and that’s all I ever want to do.
Q7) How do you feel about Social Media and how do you think it has changed our world?
A7) Social media has revolutionized the world. If you think about it, it’s crazy how I can be in Virginia and people in England, Scotland, as well as many other places are watching me. That was never possible before. As well as making it easier to maintain relationships with people other than the occasional cyber bullying (Which is horrible) Social media has changed our world amazingly for the better!
The YouNow team would like to thank Sean for his efforts and wish him well in his future endeavors.

Why I Love YouNow - by Adam Shallcross
Hiya! I’m Adam Shallcross or as some people may know me “The Ginger King”. I started YouNow about 1 month and 18 days ago, I started watching a couple of days before but I was afraid to go live. I was already subscribed to Michael Buckley through “What The Buck?!” and that is how I first began watching YouNow. I was taken in so quickly and I’m so glad I found out about the site.
YouNow has given me so much confidence to start singing in front of people. I was even afraid of doing YouTube videos, but I have been given support from Abigail Green, Fiona MacLennan, James Jones, Danny Tee, Krissy Hunt, Rosie Cotton, Cody-Ann Palmer and a lot more, maybe even too many to name. I believe what those people told me about going live because they are broadcasters themselves and they seemed so confident when they did it, and seeing that made me feel more hyper and excited to broadcast. My first broadcast lasted 14 minutes which Fiona said was very good, I was ecstatic and over the moon!
I remember my first broadcast like it was yesterday, non-stop talking due to the excitement and just all round bubbliness! It was different and weird if I do say so myself. There are so many awesome shows and games you can do on YouNow. I’ve participated 3 times in Karaoke but sad enough, I haven’t won yet! I believe that is due to all the talent that YouNow discovers! It’s amazing! I have mentioned other broadcasters, but those aren’t the only people that help, there are also the fans such as Beth Cross and Laura-Cait Driscoll and Jess Fairweather. Once again, there are still many more. The fans are always keeping you on asking you weird questions and wacky tasks to do. I’ve done the cinnamon challenge and I’ll tell you now… I’ll never do it again.
I didn’t hear about the prizes until I won the top… Which was quite a surprise, it was also quite funny because my facial expression was out of this world. I’d like to thank all of the fans that have helped me get this far already in such a short time; it’s made me a better and more exciting person, so thanks guys! I’d also like to thank YouNow for this opportunity to be something better than I thought I was, thanks!
Love you guys, Adam Shallcross.
