Some people set out to be famous on YouTube and spend years trying their luck before calling time on their aspirations.
But it turns out that there may be a formula to success.
Jack Craig is a YouTuber whose channel creates ‘Finance, Business, E-commerce Related Content’, according to his bio.
The content creator has over 97,000 subscribers on the social media site and has made videos in the past documenting his success with YouTube Shorts channels, explaining exactly how he garners thousands of subscribers and millions of views.
In a video posted back in May 2023, Craig shows the results of posting consistently on a Shorts channel for just 100 days.
The influencer reveals how he built his following and views up, resulting in consistent earnings from his content.
In just 100 days, Craig revealed his Shorts channel hit over 235,000 subscribers, while sharing that he makes more than $400 (£327) per week.
Craig explained that after starting the channel in November 2022, he only became monetised in February 2023.
To be monetised, you must be part of the YouTuber Partner Program – this is achieved by gaining over 1,000 subscribers and either 4,000 watched hours on videos in the past 12 months or 10 million Shorts views in the last 90 days.
The creator advised aspiring YouTubers to make content they’re interested in, edit your videos, and make content that can be appreciated by a wider audience.
He called his tips ‘principles’ that creators should follow to achieve success on the platform.

So by the end, he revealed that he earned about $400 a week, as his earnings worked out to $2,433.17 overall.
But as Craig pointed out, in the four weeks preceding the video, he made $2,087.79, the majority of his earnings.
He said it averaged out to ‘about $50 a day’.
Claiming he could get that figure up to around $100, the content creator was making about $500 a week in the lead-up to the video.
With the trends on the charts, there’s little doubt he could work to get that figure up to four, over time.
