If I Were a New Writer with No Clue Where to Start, Here’s What I’d Do
A no-hassle quickstart guide to get you writing and publishing online today
Mr. Beast is the king of YouTube.

But unlike most monarchs, he didn’t inherit his empire. Mr. Beast earned the crown through thousands of hours of hard work. A true self-made man.
He offers simple, free advice to anyone who wants to become a YouTuber:
Create and publish 100 videos while improving on one aspect with each video.
For example, your first video — just get it out there and familiarize yourself with the process. The video is going to suck but that’s expected. The second, try to improve your narrative. The next, try to stutter less. The fourth, read a tip on thumbnails and implement it. So on and so forth.
Each new video gets a little better than the previous, and you get a little better as a creator.
The idea is that by your 100th video, you‘ll be a rockstar video creator and your videos won’t suck.
