Hafu Go shares his eight-year journey from making lip-sync videos as a kid to becoming a successful YouTube creator with videos that garner millions of views. His unique perspective on the step-ladder nature of YouTube growth provides valuable insight for creators at all levels.

• Began YouTube career making videos in his mom's house, spending 50+ hours editing videos that initially received just 200 views
• Committed to pushing through for at least one year, which helped him overcome the temptation to quit when growth was slow
• Documented his experience studying at "the Harvard of China" (Tsinghua University) which helped transition his content
• Describes pivoting from college vlogs to Shaolin monk training as a "life crisis moment" that ultimately doubled his subscribers
• Emphasizes the importance of "wedging" when transitioning content types rather than making abrupt changes
• Embraced YouTube Shorts early, with his first dedicated Short reaching 50 million views in a week
• Creates thumbnails and titles before filming videos, with multiple versions tested for performance
• Focuses heavily on pre-production planning to make editing more efficient
• Believes your "rate of progress is going to be equal to your rate of learning"
• Hiring editors and ideation people to support his growing channel
