Baby Steps
His first videos on YouTube were posted years before he ever considered pricy promotions to boost his channel’s popularity and viewership. MrBeast uploaded his first video onto YouTube in February 2012, under the alias MrBeast6000 at just 13 years old. Back then, he didn’t just focus on a single topic since he was a gamer at heart.
His early videos on the channel he named after himself, “That-dude,” covered a wide range of topics and styles, from Minecraft and Call of Duty gameplay to commentary on the latest YouTube drama and even interviews with other well-known YouTubers. By the end of July 2013, he had about 250 subscribers.
