From Zero Subscribers to Actually Having FANS??
Ok so a lot of people ask us how we started making YouTube videos so heres the whole story!! I started my channel Zander Animations because I was watching SO many Roblox YouTubers and I was like... I can do that too!! I was literally just recording my screen with a free screen recorder and talking into my laptop mic. The quality was TERRIBLE but I didnt care because I was having fun.
My first few videos got like maybe 10 views and most of those were my mom refreshing the page lol. But I kept going because I genuinely loved making them. Then I started learning how to edit better and my thumbnails got way cooler and slowly people started actually watching!!
Asher started his channel Asher Situations Official around the same time and his videos are a completely different vibe. Hes way more into the comedy side of things and his Skibidi Situations series is SO funny. Episode 7 just dropped and its honestly the best one yet.
The coolest part is when we collab on videos together. Like when we played You VS Homer that video was pure chaos and everyone loved it. We literally could not stop laughing the entire time we were recording.
To anyone who wants to start a YouTube channel — just DO IT. Dont wait until you have perfect equipment or whatever. Just start making videos about stuff you love and have fun with it. Thats literally all we did and now we have actual subscribers who watch our stuff and thats the coolest feeling ever!!
