Spencer Cornelia

500,000 subscribers.

I released my first video on January 11, 2015 which is 3,201 days ago.

In the interim, I've released over 600 videos. Many have been absolutely terrible, many have been fine, and some have blown up.

In March 2013, I was interning for the Birmingham Barons making $500 per month and spent my last few dollars on a Sony camcorder because I wanted to be a YouTuber.

By 2015, I was finally ready to begin producing videos. Taking my camera to the gym and filming was weird at the time. Filming out in public was unique and new and no one understood why I was doing it.

In summer 2019, when my life seemed to be falling apart (from house flips gone wrong), I had a video take off for the first time, surpassing 100,000 views.

I was taken aback. For the first time, I felt like I was capable of being a "YouTuber".

April 17, 2020 - I was furloughed from my job due to Covid and was forced into YouTube full time.

Despite facing significant challenges in my personal life, I continued posting hoping to one day "make it".

I am incredibly thankful of everyone who has supported me thus far and allowing me to experience what it's like to have 500,000 subscribers and be a big "YouTuber".

I'm almost 9 years old on this platform, but I still feel young.

In what will likely be the toughest year of my life, I'm very proud that I've been able to overcome financial constraints very few YouTubers have experienced (legal battle), mental health issues, an aging channel, and extreme creative burnout.

But not a day goes by that I am not appreciative of what this platform has provided for me and the joy I get to experience seeing 500,000 subscribers next to my name.

3,201 days ago I would have done anything to be in this position. It's honestly a dream come true.

Thank you.

Well deserved brother, I personally love the lack of bias you show towards topics covered. Other youtubers will exaggerate and make grandiose claims for views but I've never felt like you've done that, which makes your success more impressive. Props

Thank you for sharing your story, it’s a reminder of how hard a YouTuber needs to work to become successful, as well as waiting many years for it to pay off. I hope the legal battles resolve soon. You manage to convey a friendly and upbeat manner , and even though the subjects are sometimes heavy, your videos do cheer me up. Take care, and keep up the good work💪👍

Congratulations 🎊 sometimes business and realtor content can be monotonous but you jokes and witty remarks truly make you unique. I just started college and already feel like i am not going to make it. But your story definitely resonates and I will keep going
