A long time ago on a beach far, far away Stanley Orchard grabbed a fishing rod and a five-year old mobile phone and made history. 

Ok… the history is still in the making. 

But what Stanley did with that day was impressive nonetheless.  He turned his South Texas family fishing vlogs and turned them into a full-time career as the Sr. Community and Engagement Rep. for TubeBuddy.

Here Stanley was given the opportunity to work with thousands of creators from all walks of life, give demonstrations and product demonstrations at events like VidSummit and Vidcon. 

In his free time Stanley also assists with the YouTube User Research program where he provides feedback for new and upcoming pre-Beta features being tested for the YouTube platform and he provides blue-collar, guerilla YouTube tips and tricks on his Stanley Orchard Studios channel.

He took all of that information and compiled it into his 2025 book: ‘How To Grow On YouTube - The YouTube Strategy Guide.’

1,000 videos… dozens of which rank in the top-4% of all videos on YouTube… a full-time career in the YouTube industry and a book… all because of the work done on a 5-year old phone.
