(My Start)
I started youtube way back in 2012 making sketch comedy style content. At the time i was only getting a couple of views, and it never really took off. A year later i got into Minecraft by watching another YouTuber by the name of Graser! His UHC and SMP Minecraft videos really got me into playing minecraft, however i couldn't afford a pc at the time so luckily minecraft pocket edition was in its early beta stages allowing me to play minecraft! Eventually i made my way from survival single player to servers! This is where i met some online friends and we called via skype for hours a day, and had the time of our lives raging over a block game. I decided i wanted to host a uhc of my own and record it just like graser did, so i got my friends together. With their help we made it happen! It was the first of its kind for pocket edition at the time since there were little to no plugings for mcpe that would make uhc possible, however luckily the server host i used had no healing enabled. Then began my YouTube journey! Just a kid having fun with his online friends!
(My upbringing)
The UHC videos were gaining a few views but nothing to be extremely excited about, however i wanted to gain followers and viewers to hopefully inspire more people to do the same while creating fun family friendly content for people to enjoy! I decided to play a few other gamemodes such as LifeBoat Survival Games, Survival Multiplayer, and Factions. At the time i didn't really enjoy factions, but a friend at the time convinced me to play one day, and the rest is history! The more i played the more i enjoyed it! I initially uploaded 3 Factions videos back to back as well as continuing the upload other minecraft content. The series blew up gaining at the time 100 views for a 40 subscriber channel! Over time the videos kept growing, and growing to eventually becoming my most viewed video with over 70 thousand views! I never expected my channel nor the Factions seriers to blow up like it did!
honestly, i don't know what the future holds! Im hoping one day i can turn my channel into a company! As of now im looking forward to uploading DAILY content to help grow my channel! To do that takes a lot of time and dedication, but im going to try! Hopefully i can look back here one day and say "Guys we did it!"
Thank you for reading a chapter in my story! Now you know a little more about me!
For those who want to know more...
as a child i grew up poor.. my parents living paycheck to paycheck since my dad and my mom lost their jobs 1 month apart.. Fortunately my father somehow made something out of nothing. Given our financial state at the time i never recall being sad. My father always somehow was able to put some money a side and would take me places around the city every once in a while. Up until recently we got back on our feet! untill suddenly everything seemed like it was going to fall. My mom lost her job again. I was 16 at the time, so i wanted to help. i got a job. It was a very scary moment for me. I had to step up and support us while still being a child and figuring out how the world works.... luckly my mom got a job shortly after me.. finally i was making my own money. I purchased a gaming pc finally, and things are starting to look up again! Right now youtube is a hobby and im no where near making enough to call this a job, but we will see what the future holds!
thank you for reading... never really gave people a small glimpse into my everyday life before... thank you for all the support!!! ~zee
