Story Behind Matt’s Success

During the initial days, Matt was feeling depressed thinking of his future. ‘What I was going to do with my life?’ was the main question tickling his mind.

He was in the state of giving up on everything but things went the other way. Instead, he made millions of dollars that led him to travel in first class, complete his bucket list, and fulfill every desire. At this moment in life, he is financially secure.

Matt runs different YouTube channels with millions of subscribers and enormous views. Besides, he runs an education company that has enrolled over 7,000 students.

With this short intro to his success, let’s dive into how his life started.

Matt’s Success Story

Matt was born in 2003 in a middle-class family in the midwestern United States. His family wasn’t poor, and his parents worked hard for the better future of his family members.

At a very young age, Matt was focused on working hard to earn money, and he made that connection in his brain. He was convinced that a decent lifestyle comes from a lot of work and trade time.

He was just spending his time with casual work but he realized things are not that easy, and the same always. So, he made up his mind to grow up and get a job as everybody does.

But on the other side, Matt was not attracted to the 9-5 job strategy to make money. He saw his parents working hard 9-5 to run the family and secure the future of family members.

Matt was not particularly interested in getting good grades in college and getting a good job. He was constantly looking for other options which could generate efficient revenue.

With the constant eagerness to earn money, Matt made an idea to buy products from a Dollar Store and sell them for a profit. So, he started selling Pop-Tarts at school during lunchtime and made $300 in a couple of months. This was the first money he made ever in his life which offered him great motivation to continue the business.

However, things didn’t go that easy because some of the teachers in his school banned selling such products. Matt was again down to zero left with not knowing what he was going to do again.

This is where Matt discovered YouTube! At this time, he with his siblings used YouTube to watch videos for entertainment purposes until he found out people were leveraging the YouTube platform to make money and make their dreams come true.

So, at the age of 12, Matt started his first YouTube channel and started uploading videos related to backyard pranks, stunts, and just regular stuff. He used to be delighted when his videos received 50 or 100 views. But then, he also realized YouTube couldn’t be his source of income, or the platform was for lucky ones only.

Later in 2014, Matt was in a condition where he completely hated school. He was fed up with taking a long bus ride to his school, and spending hours in lectures which he was not interested in. Due to this condition, he felt he was zoned out as he was not paying attention to anything, and his relationship with his friends also degraded. His parents, friends, and relatives weren’t happy with his behavior.

And he was depressed again!

Matt says his life completely changed when he found a YouTube channel called ‘Top Fives’. This channel was a faceless YouTube channel that published faceless videos covering different cool subjects, scary videos, and other interesting topics.

Matt found out the channel was publishing videos constantly, and getting millions of views. At this point, he didn’t know how someone could make money on YouTube. But, he found successful YouTubers making their dreams come true. A thought arose in his mind, if others can do it, why can’t I?

Using a crappy cracked iPhone, and the voice recorder, Matt started producing videos right after he explored the success gained by the channel ‘Top Fives’. He was just publishing videos taking ideas from successful channels however, the results weren’t pouring as he thought they would.

But one day, when he checked YouTube analytics, one of his videos surpassed 100,000 views. This became one of the greatest moments of his life, and probably the first of many successes. Matt shared his first success of 100,00 views with his friends on the school bus.

After getting first success, Matt started doubling his video production utilizing every bit of free time. He gave main priority to publishing YouTube videos and kept his school time on the back burner.

During his initial time, Matt experimented a lot to find out what works on YouTube. He researched various videos, thumbnail ideas, and strategies to increase engagement. At this time, he wasn’t earning a penny from YouTube.

While working on YouTube, he found that many successful channels making millions of dollars. And this is when he discovered the earnings were possible on YouTube through its Partner Program.

Matt was consistently publishing videos on his channel, and in 2015, he made a whopping $3,000 a month. This was a life-changing earning at that age for him.

While earning this much money, Matt was feeling rich. His family, friends, and teachers were happy for him on one side but on the other, they were skeptical about how sustainable is this project.

Matt kept on working on his channel and made more money. By 2016, he earned more than his parents. The only thing concerning him was the time he was spending on YouTube. He didn’t have any time for his family, and friends. All his time was allocated to his YouTube career.

Matt thought of outsourcing his project and collecting some spare time for other tasks. For that, he posted a job for a voiceover project on Upwork.com and found a guy to replace his voiceover which became a game-changer.

Now, Matt started leveraging video production by coming up with video ideas and passing the ideas to a scriptwriter. The scriptwriter then provides the written script to the voiceover artist who then provides the voiceover to the video editor. The finished video then arrives to Matt who publishes on his YouTube channel. This is how his YouTube automation started.

Moreover, Matt also hired a thumbnail designer to make his task more quicker. Though he got huge free time by outsourcing, he didn’t waste his time on casual tasks. Instead, he created more channels in different niches.

With continuous work, Matt received his Silver Play Button in 2017. This achievement was huge for him, and he took it as it was everything for him.
