Youtube is a video-sharing website that was founded by Jawed Karim, Chad Hurley, and Steve Chen. It was launched in 2005 but became so popular in 2006 with the number of views increasing to over 25 million per day. Successful YouTubers get to keep this traffic and profit from it.
That’s Insane!!!
Starting a YouTube Channel is one of the best online business ideas to consider in 2023. Given the enormous user base it has, you can see the potential number of subscribers you can have in your niche.
Like I always say – in the online business, your audience is your net worth!
YouTube made it so easy for content creators to share their videos and engage with their community through the comment section.
Over the past years, it has been so popular that it is the second most searched website after Google.
It has grown to become a search engine itself!
Youtube creators share various types of videos such as music videos, educational videos, DIY videos, and entertainment – we’ve seen YouTubers (Mr. Beast) pull off squid game in real life.
It’s like Netflix without a behind-the-scenes.
Top YouTubers earn millions of dollars annually from the content they make through various forms of content monetization.
Here are the success stories behind the 10 most successful YouTubers.
This list is based on ordinary individuals who created youtube channels uploading various types of content and ended up being online business personalities using youtube.
1. MrBeast
On top of the list is MrBeast. The 24-year-old’s real name is Jimmy Donaldson. His channel had 127 million subscribers as of January 2023.
The Beast’s success story goes like this.
At the early age of 13 in Feb 2012 he uploaded his first video under the handle MrBeast6000. (typical username of a random twitch streamer)
Just like any random person starting a YouTube channel, his channel was struggling to get views during the early days. But that didn’t stop him from making more content!
He created videos on a range of subjects. He started getting attention in 2016 with videos ridiculing the poorest YouTube video intros. His channel now had roughly 30k subscribers thanks to this.
His career peaked when he pulled off a nearly impossibly tough feat. He produced a video that lasted virtually all day. MrBeast counted all the way up to one hundred thousand.
Jimmy spent roughly 40 hours on this. He continued performing daring feats for a while, which increased his fame and subscription count.
MrBeast began a $250 000 live rock-paper-scissors competition in April 2020 among well-known YouTubers. Since then, he has held several competitions with cash prizes totaling millions of dollars.
He invests a large portion of his money in his blog rather than blowing it all.
let’s be real with each other what would you have done with your fortune?
He spent his fortune on creating online contests with enormous cash prizes for the winners. He became the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) because of this innovative kind of entertainment.
He works tirelessly and has empathy. MrBeast promoted PewDiePie to gain more subscribers during a competition between PewDiePie and T-Series for the largest YouTube channel.
With 112,193,139 followers, Donaldson’s MrBeast channel set the Guinness World Record for “Most Subscribers for an Individual Male on YouTube” on November 17, 2022.
Making him one of the most successful YouTubers of all time.
When running an online business, it is encouraged that you reinvest your profits until they become so significant that your company can function on its own. This indicates that you now have a firm following and that your YouTube views are permanent.
2. PewDiePie
I’m starting to think that if you are to have a successful Youtube channel, you must use a strange username.
PewDiePie, a stage name for Felix Kjellberg, launched his YouTube channel in 2010. The Swedish man, age 33, was born on October 24, 1989.
He frequently published Let’s plays for horror and action video games. His channel, which at the time had one of the largest followings and was rapidly expanding, helped him become well-known.
On August 15 of 2013, his YouTube channel attained the highest subscriber count. PewDewPie continued to create trends by being the first channel to reach 10 billion views.
He formed a deal with Maker Studios to produce an original YouTube series featuring Kjellberg and his pals.
Having connections with other organizations as a digital producer is one approach to advertise a brand and help it grow.
Partnerships help your online business make money. Therefore, finding alliances is essential to the success of your online business. Once you get the necessary subscribers, you may start looking for businesses willing to broadcast their commercials on your channel in exchange for a cut in youtube.
Kjellberg has faced challenges in the past, most notably in 2017 when he was involved in a few media controversies over statements he made.
He was probably careless because he was growing too accustomed to his brand. One method to run a successful internet company is to avoid using words and sentences incorrectly that might offend current or future clients.
PewDewPie became a popular narrative as a result of perseverance and discovering what people liked.
3. Chilean German Alejandro
Alejandro, a Chilean German, posted his first video on YouTube in September 2011 under the name HolaSoyGerman. He was more of a comic because the topics of his films were humorous real-life situations.
He launched JuegaGerman, another YouTube channel, in 2013 where he mostly posted stuff, including gaming videos. When he posted Los Hermanos, one of his most well-known films that went viral, his channel had four million visitors in the same year ( The Brothers)
German Alejandro did a good job of keeping up his two channels, German Alejandro and German Alejandro. Both of them were being managed by him so successfully that their subscriber bases were approaching millions. He had the most subscribers worldwide by the year 2018.
It would be exhausting to manage two major networks with large audiences. However, Alejandro the German persisted as long as he could. Making a single piece of social media content might take hours or even days, depending on the person.
Even though he last posted on HolaSoyGerman 6 years ago, he still maintains a significant presence today with JuegaGerman at 47 million members and HolaSoyGerman at 43.4 million subscribers.
In your online business even if the pressure hits so hard that you feel like stopping,
DON’T!!
That might be the time you are about to go big and start making huge sums of money. Just keeping doing what you have to do.
Make your content with all you have and make sure you bring the best out of yourself.
4. FernanFloo
Fernando Flores, the man behind FernanFloo, a moniker he came up with by combining two of his names, began making videos on YouTube when he was 18 years old. He began by posting instructional videos and brief samples of special effects-laden action sequences.
Soon after, he started creating gameplays for video games like Call of Duty, God of War ll, and Mortal Combat and began connecting other movies to video game themes.
Bro gained more fame as a result.
It’s entertaining how, when creating material, you could be seduced by someone, like Fernando Flores. He last posted a video four months ago because he is exploring other opportunities that have come his way as a result of his youtube experience.
As a youtuber, you have access to a variety of chances from other individuals as well as the chance to find who you are personally. It is a chance to make money and learn about other facets of life.
5. Felipe Neto
Brazilian YouTuber Felipe Neto Rodrigues Vieira runs the Felipe Neto channel. He signed up for YouTube in May 2006, but he just began to publish videos in 2010. He is the oldest YouTuber listed here.
He began to gain notoriety the same year when millions of people watched his channel, which was the most popular in Brazil. He would discuss public figures, motion pictures, and life in general.
Felipe established a business network called Paramaker, which owns a number of YouTube channels, the following year.
He sold the business in 2015 so he could concentrate on Felipe Neto, his YouTube channel.
With 44.8 million subscribers and 16 billion views, his channel continues to emphasize simple pleasure.
