In 2019 these 9 YouTuber’s blew up and here’s how they did it.

Graham Stephan

‘Graham Stephan’: As a finance YouTuber, he is one of the biggest. Probably number 3 after Dave Ramsey and Dan lok, but if you add Graham’s second channel into the mix, I would say he is bigger on YouTube than Dave Ramsey.

Unlike most of the other finance channels, his is so much more real, transparent and just plain interesting. He makes things like home loans and credit cards sound interesting and fun.

Andrei Jihk

‘Andrei Jihk’, is growing fast in the finance YouTuber world and made over $100k from YouTube in his first year, 2019. He is similar to Graham in how he does his videos, plus he used to be a professional Editor, so his video quality is really good.

Summoning Salt

‘Summoning Salt’ makes long 40 minute videos that go in insane detail of Speedrunning in different games over the decades. He is almost at 1 million subs in a year. He only posts once a month, but every video is an amazing documentary that you want to watch in its entirety even if you don’t play video games or even care about Speedrunning.

Nakey Jakey

‘Nakey jakey’ blew up in 2019. He isn’t the only one to do nostalgic videos, but he does it in a funny way with amazing personality.

I did a thing

A smaller YouTuber, ‘I did a thing’ has gotten over 700k subs in less than year. He makes high quality videos, great jokes, and is like the beautiful child mix of William Osman and You Suck at Cooking.

‘Code bullet’ and ‘Dani’

‘Code bullet’ and ‘Dani’ are both programming YouTubers that make programming games, simulations and AI funny, interesting, and just plain great to watch. They both blew up this last year.

Boffy

Another smaller YouTuber, ‘Boffy’ went from 0 to 300k subs in 2 months. He’s at like 500k now. He has quick editing, a nice voice, and some good reactions. He makes Minecraft videos. A supposedly difficult video type to crack, but he did with his unique way of doing it.

Out of Sight

One guy called “Out of Sight” has only one video with almost half a million views and I think 10K subs now. The video is not perfect by any means but people seem to enjoy and watch it. So since it already has a lot of views and comments it gets more views and comments. The guy has not released another video in I think half a year.

The thing that is the same across all these channels is that you want to finish the videos all the way through. You want to watch every video. That is what makes these channels grow. Content and engagement is king – everything else is not.

Obviously there are many more, but I don’t feel like writing all day.
