YouTube videos have become mainline entertainment. People are consuming more content on the internet than they once did on cable. As a result, many try their luck in content creation. But it is not simple for everyone to make a big name for themselves in this field like MrBeast, PewDiePie, and others.

MrBeast needs no introduction, as he is the most prominent content creator on YouTube. He is the pioneer of creating extravagant content. He has over 115 million subscribers on his channel. But many might wonder why the 24-year-old content creator’s content is so successful.

A year ago, Ludwig released a video in which he had the same question if it’s luck or skill that makes one successful? So he planned to create a new channel that wouldn’t have his branding and planned to see if it gains 1000 views in a day. Further, he hired a voice artist to record his script, so no one can understand it’s his content.

Ludwig proved MrBeast was right about the key to success

But before starting the video, Ludwig wanted to know the secret behind success, luck or skill. There is no one better than Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson to ask this question. So, the 24-year-old North Carolina-based YouTuber claimed, “It’s 99 percent skill. If you knew what you were doing, you could do that 100 percent.”

Then Ludwig created a channel Online Lore which still exists but is now called Lud and Schlatts Musical Emporium. The streamer then made a script about how Mizkif’s door made him famous and sent it to a voice-over artist to record it. After making the video, he created a catchy title and thumbnail.

Ludwig also gave some tips that can help get good views using the YouTube algorithm. He then sent his link to Mizkif under a false ID to watch it. Ludwig’s video had over 225 likes and 118 views after the Twitch streamer watched it. He claimed it to hit the mark in a few minutes after uploading.

So he checked the video’s stats after four days, and it had 11,600 views, 363.1 hours of watch time, and the channel gained over 1000 subscribers. He then checked the stats of how viewers found that video. He then said the most important is the YouTube recommendation, where he had 30.2 percent, claiming it to be an excellent response.
