American digital content creator and entrepreneur James Stephen "Jimmy" Donaldson better known by his online alias, Mr. Beast, is asking people to have a plan before they immerse themselves in the word of content creation.
Taking to his X account, the 25 year-old YouTuber shared how disheartening it was to see people uproot their lives in search of greener pastures but without a clue of how things work in the land that they are venturing into.
Mr. Beast, who is among the top most paid earners on the video streaming app, (actually he broke records back in 2021 after earning $54 million, the most of any YouTuber ever,) shared some tidbits of advice for those aspiring to be full time content creators.
"It's painful to see people quit their job/ drop out of school to make content full time before they're ready," wrote the 25-year-old entrepreneur on his X wall.
He went on to remind people not to get swallowed with the glitz and glam of the few who have made it because on the same page there are a multitude who tried dipping their toes in the pond to no avail.
"For every person like me that makes it, thousands don't. Keep that in mind and be smart plz," the last of his post read.
Mr.Beast, is currently the biggest YouTuber on the planet - and with that popularity comes huge sums of money.
The 25-year-old has branched out from video-making and now has his own chocolate line called Feastables.
With 244 million subscribers on YouTube, Mr. Beast according to a publishing made by Forbes back in November 2022, is estimated to be earning $54m yearly from YouTube.
That is combined advertising revenue from videos and sponsorship deals. Interestingly, he has several other channels with tens of millions of subscribers, including one for philanthropy and one for video games.
It's unclear exactly how much money he actually pockets though.
His biggest video to date has over 500 million views - recreated the Netflix hit Squid Game in real life, including a $456,000 prize fund.
