Zamolo's YouTube Success
Share
A story about how Rebecca Zamolo achieved massive YouTube success by treating content creation like a full-time job.
"We have this friend Rebecca Zamolo who has tens of millions, maybe 15 million YouTube subscribers, and she only launched in 2017 - not that long ago. I asked Rebecca why she got so big and she said 'I took it like a job.'
She got laid off or quit her other job, and she decided 'this is now my thing.' It was like a 40-hour work week. She said shockingly most popular YouTubers start it as a side hobby, and even when they're fairly big, it's still not full time. But she treated it like a company - she just ran it like a company and it worked out."
