In a recent interview with Colin and Samir, Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, asserted that anyone could build a YouTube channel with 20 million subscribers from scratch within six months. Coming from anyone else, it would sound like a pipe dream, but the statement came from Mr.Beast, the largest individual creator on YouTube himself. Even so, it is still a somewhat bold claim to make. As a result, it has got significant attention, with most people disagreeing with what he said.
What exactly did MrBeast say?

Jimmy stated that he could launch a new channel tomorrow and gain 20 million subscribers in just six months without using any form of advertising, including his voice, face, or identity.
- Supposedly, he tutors other people to gain a few million subscribers on their channels, which is nothing new or strange for him.
- He also claims that with the right content, anyone could get at least 10 million views per video and 10 million subscribers, if not 20 million, in six months.
- MrBeast also credits having the appropriate knowledge as the secret behind the success.

Another Youtuber named Armaani took to Twitter and called out MrBeast’s statements as too good to be true.
- MrBeast acknowledged it and replied that he consistently makes those numbers on his side channel without promotion.
- He said virality is a learnable skill and doesn’t care if people disagree with him.
- From the reply threads on Twitter, we see that most audiences disagree with his claims.
How to Get 20 Million Subscribers According to MrBeast
- Jimmy talks about the “five a second” rule he implements in his videos. The reason is that the first five seconds convince an audience to watch the rest of the video.
- You should be able to entice curiosity and interest in that short period for a watcher to stay captivated for the upcoming part.
- Short-form content, such as reels or shorts, is great for becoming viral, according to MrBeast. He claims that, until a few years ago, a specific piece of content would fill an entire video, but today he tries to condense it into a minute-long clip.
- Anyone may gain views across several platforms like Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok with a single well-made short video.
- Another benefit is that for your short clips to go viral, you don’t necessarily need to be a well-known creator beforehand.

- He discusses the fine line between inspiration and plagiarism. Anyone who wants to succeed must be aware of this gap and try to provide original content with a unique spin. Plagiarism may temporarily increase views, but it won’t last over time.
MrBeast believes we should learn from our successes rather than our failures
For instance, we should concentrate on the one video that performed marginally better than the others rather than fretting about the ten videos that did not receive any views.
The positive aspects of that particular video should be highlighted, and we should incorporate them into future ones.
All creators have their own paths and right time to make it big in the scene
There is no doubt that Jimmy shared a few valuable insights that could be helpful for a video creator. We should remember that he said getting many subscribers or followers quickly is doable, but never once said it would be easy.
- As one of the biggest content creators globally, we think he is qualified enough to express his views on this subject.
But, we feel like an individual should also not take his words as the only benchmark for success. It should be okay if someone doesn’t achieve such high goals within a limited period.
- After all, it took MrBeast years of hard work and experience for him to be able to achieve the task today.
- Thinking a beginner can take on something similar without breaking a sweat would be childish.
An aspirant should take in the knowledge that Jimmy provided and try to implement it in his/her work. That should be more viable than simply wondering if it is realistically possible to garner 20 million subscribers in 6 months.
