Local siblings make a YouTube channel to raise money

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK) - Kids and teenagers will be looking for ways to earn money this summer and some local siblings found a way to do just that.

The Ward kids created a YouTube channel in hopes of gaining enough subscribers to earn money.

"The kids came home one day and they're like mom 'we want this, we want that' and I'm like, how are going to pay for it? Because I can't pay for it. And then they ran across my computer and they're like 'what's that?" and I'm like, it's YouTube, then they were like 'can we make a YouTube channel?" I'm like, yeah sure," says Audra Ward, their mom.

"We found a website that's called Jumpcut and it told us how to do things step-by-step," says Jewel Ward, one of the kids.

Audra helps her kids shoot and edit the videos. The videos are inspired by their imagination and they compare it to real life.

"We have one where it's the dog's perspective of getting a bath versus what's actually happening. And it just made for a fun video," says Audra.

They hope to expand into more than videos.

"We have a mission statement, we have a business plan, eventually have an llc. It's business skills and financial skills combined while they're doing what they want to do."

Last but not least, fine tuning and cleanup. I still have to fix the bottom overflowing, allow clicking the rows to scroll to them and add a progress bar.

Calculating scrollview’s height

I am used to use native navigation and can get constants with heights of the Navbar, so I could calculate the above height from the device height and the constants. But as we’re using React Navigation, and to be safe, we will get the actual height of the scrollview and pass it into our Bottom view.

Passing scrollTo method down to components

This may look weird to you. Most likely because you’re not used to React.createRef or accessing internal refs from Animated components.

React.createRef can be used to access component refs without custom functions. The only difference is that you have to access the reference through thecurrent property.

Next we have Animated, which composes the ScrollView component, but gives us access through a private property, _component . This is not completly safe and could change, but currently there is no other way of doing this.

Some updated styles and fine-tuning of the variables, you can see the result here:
