How to model Ryan Trahan for YouTube success

Ryan Trahan lying on the grass in his classic youtube thumbnail style.

Ryan Trahan has earned millions of views on YouTube with his £0.01 series. Turning $0.01 into $1000 or Turning $0.01 into a house etc

So the idea is captivating but also something I can roll my eyes at. It’s very similar to a bunch of other YouTubers doing ridiculous things for views.

Not to mention, you would think that once you have seen one, you have seen it all.

Additionally, I am someone who is easily distracted and can’t fully bring attention to one YouTube video for long enough.

And yet, here I am, eyes unmoving, binge-watching and hooked.

Why? And, as writers and content creators, how can we embody Ryan Trahan in our work?

Here are some of the comments about Ryan Trahan’s videos which embody what he has achieved and I summarise these at the bottom of this article.

  1. Personality
  2. Storytelling
  3. Positivity
  4. Authentic and wholesome
  5. Adds tension
  6. There are stakes
  7. ‘Feel-good’
  8. Clean content

Which of the above do you think is most important?
