With an average of more than 1 billion hours of content watched every single day on YouTube, the platform vastly outperforms traditional television and signifies a huge change in the media landscape.

Vikkstar is a part of British YouTube royalty, the Sidemen. I have always been fascinated with the group and how they've managed to build a YouTube empire from constant content creation, crazy ideas and a strategy that works unbelievably well. I was so excited to sit down with Vikkstar and find out more about who he is and his incredible success.

We cover:

•⁠ ⁠How the Sidemen were formed

•⁠ ⁠Why Vikkstar felt like an outcast at the start of his YouTube career and how he overcome it

•⁠ ⁠The secrets behind the sidemen's success

•⁠ ⁠The importance of pushing yourself out of your comfort zone to gain success

•⁠ ⁠Making tough decisions in order to change for the better

•⁠ ⁠What happened when fans crashed his wedding

He is truly one of the hardest working people I have ever met. His dedication to success, passion for content and the talents that he brings to the Sidemen, is so impressive.
