Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson is the fifth-most subscribed YouTuber right now and he’s on track to surpass PewDiePie, who is affectionately referred to by his legion of fans as the King of YouTube. Given MrBeast’s success, it’s understandable that he’s got a couple of tricks up the sleeve that have helped take him to where he is right now. MrBeast claims that he’s gotten YouTube “down to a science” and he wasn’t afraid to prove this by sharing his knowledge with a fellow content creator.
According to MrBeast, he counseled a “small YouTuber for fun” for a month and posted the before-and-after results. The popular YouTuber added in a response to a question that his student posted the same number of videos throughout the month they were mentored, only that they were of “much higher quality.”
Unfortunately, MrBeast did not reveal who the YouTuber was, but the results do speak for themselves. After just a month, the YouTuber saw a tenfold increase in traffic from 4.6 million views to 45 million views with an estimated revenue of nearly half a million dollars.

While replies to MrBeast’s latest ventures were positive, some couldn’t help but be skeptical about it. A handful of users even argued that the YouTuber that MrBeast helped wasn’t “small” by any means. Then again, small is a relative word and what might be a large YouTuber for most people might be small in the eyes of MrBeast. Or, maybe, just maybe, MrBeast’s point isn’t semantics but how he’s figured out how to make the most out of YouTube.
