Video Tutorials: Altruistic Help or Careers Springboard?<\/h2>\n

Today, in the age of DIY, the internet video tutorial has become what the German book series Jetzt helfe ich mir selbst (Now I Can Help Myself) once was for the car enthusiast. We can now find instructions and help on virtually all subjects on the internet. \u00bbHow-To\u00ab videos have become a major phenomenon in the DIY culture.
\nThe design of the tutorials ranges from videos made with a Smartphone to semi-professionally produced films. But the main question that\u2019s asked here is why people actually make video tutorials in the first place? Why do they explain to others how something is done \u2013 without any (identifiable) reward or even knowing who they\u2019re addressing? Because their internet audience is initially anonymous and abstract. Do the video producers simply want to pass on their knowledge in a selfless act? Are they looking for fame and fortune? Or is it about money after all? The answer to all of these questions is: yes. There is a wide variety of motives: from the selfless desire to pass on knowledge (help for self-help) and promote product placement to video-makers who want to develop their own brand, sell fan merchandise, fill concert halls and suddenly appear on TV as celebrities. Always at hand are their cameras, which apparently allow viewers to be there on the spot. And distinguish them from the perfect, unreachable stars. But how authentic are these video makers really? How important is marketing?
\nLooking at a number of examples, Inke Arns and Louisa Wittke explain the phenomenon of the video tutorial and the motives of the video makers. The starting point of this section is the exhibition \u00bbNow I Can Help Myself\u00ab \u2013 The 100 best online video tutorials shown by the Hartware MedienKunstVerein<\/em> 2014. The relevant playlist can be accessed at www.hmkv.de<\/a>.<\/p>\n
