Betting on his YouTube channel by taking out a loan (Michael Downie 275K on YouTube)

This week on Creators Are Brands, I chatted with the adventure creator Michael Downie. Michael Downie is a full-time YouTuber who is coming up on 300,000 subscribers. He has a super inspiring story of how he got started and trusted his vision to be a full-time creator. In this episode, we discuss: Why he called himself a YouTuber before he was full-time How he took out a loan and bet on himself with only 1500 subscribers How he thinks about working with sponsors and investing it back into the business His creative process with his team His exact TIPS for storytelling Here’s my favorite piece of knowledge Jules dropped in the episode: “Back when I had 200 subscribers. I decided I was going to introduce myself as a YouTuber even though I had a full-time job at a junk removal company. I decided that I was going to make this my career, that I was going to be a YouTuber.” This episode is powered by Lumanu.com  The creator economy is hiring // Creators Are Brands Job Board: https://creators-are-brands.pallet.xyz
