MrBeast YouTube Jobs

Jimmy Donaldson, also known as MrBeast, uploaded his first YouTube video in February 2012. He was only 13 years old. His first content consisted of what is now known as a ‘Let’s Plays’ or a video of him playing video games. These videos show him estimating the wealth of YouTube personalities and giving tips and advice for anyone who wants to be successful on YouTube.

In his first two years of uploading content to the internet, MrBeast wasn’t able to attract many subscribers. But that all changed in 2015-2016 when his content started attracting audiences and his subscriber list grew quickly to about 30,000.

MrBeast realized that YouTube viewers are open to watching any video and uploaded a video in January 2017 of him counting to 100,000. He took 40 hours to finish the video, but he edited it to make it easy to watch in 24-hours. He then followed up with another video in which he counted to 200,000.

MrBeast uploaded videos of himself doing obscure things, like watching paint dry. This attracted more attention to his account.

MrBeast had already made a lot of money on YouTube by this time and held many competitions to help people win cash. One contestant won $1 million in a notable event.

MrBeast’s most-viewed YouTube video is the one in which he recreates Squid Game, an immensely popular Netflix survival series that saw 456 people compete to win a $456,000 award. This video has been viewed more than 248 million times.
