My journey in content creation
I started creating content around the age of 12/13 simply making fun and silly videos with friends and family and doing random stuff that I both enjoyed and had seen do well. One example being football videos due to the sidemen building an early success of their group football videos.
However my interest in being a youtuber started at around the age of 10, watching Pewdiepie. Watching his funny montages and seeing he was doing this as a job it made me want to do the same when I grew up. I use to create makeshift tripod stands to record me playing games as I would record my screen off a phone and make commentary videos. However these never saw their way onto youtube.
Here is one of my videos that originally came from a twitch stream which I have then cropped down and edited using Premiere Pro and After Effects. Thumbnail made using Blender and Photoshop.
The Peak of My Content
During the age of 13-16 I was very inconsistent going through purple patchs in making videos, however I use to consistently stream playing games like Rainbow Six and Valorant when it released, I wanted for my streams to be a friendly and welcoming community, getting my community involved on stream as well as interacting with them off stream on Twitter and my own Discord server where I would try to do weekly community nights.
During the pandemic was the time which I put my all into making content creation my goal. Spending countless hours making videos, planning for ideas for streams and how to improve the quality of my content. As well as recycling content such as tiktoks, stream clips and post them on other socials. In which I saw my work pay off as I gradually gained more followers on Tiktok and started to use Tiktok lives as a way to promote my Youtube and Twitch streams. After the pandemic I continued my push for my dream. However due to my final project at college which would determine if I was going to university. I dropped everything to persue going to university. However once it was finished I never got back to that full throttle commitment to content creation.
I do still make some content every now and then posting gym related content every now ands then as I have found that to be a big interest of mine. But I plan for 2023 to try and post more on my journey in fitness.
Esports Organisations
During my time as a content creator I have been part of a few Esports organisations. Most notably being part of Helios/Sinai and PrydeGG.
I had first joined Helios as a taking part of their content creator recruitment challenge being one of the winners. However I moved up quickly to a lead streamer by showing commitment to improving my streams while also talking to higher ups about ways to help improve the team and ideas for content. Not too long after the team was picked up by Sinai Village, an organisation that focused in platform fighters having some of the best players for Smash and Brawlhalla, such as Maister for Smash and Fiend, Addymestic, and Tiger for Brawlhalla. In the process of the pick up I was moved to head of content with my continuous commitment to helping the organisation succeed.
Towards the end of my time there, same time as I stopped producing content, I was their social media manager on Twitter and Tiktok. Creating engaging posts and tweets relevant to trending ones from other Esports orginisations, while in control the Twitter reached a peak impressions of over 300k in a month. Clicking the image on the right will take you to a tweet that performed well on impressions, due to looking at the trends of tweets being done by other Esports Orginisations.
Due to my connections in Sinai I also became a valorant content creator for Pryde, and Esports orginisation focused in CS:GO and Apex and wanting to move into Valorant. With their sponsor GFUEL they held a Valorant community tournament which I was lucky to be apart of. My time in the team was short as they shut all operations, but something I was happy in being part of.
