 Today, we chat with Kronos and learn how he achieved his own success on YouTube, and then we find out the three winners on today's $100,000 sponsorship powered by Freedom. I'm your host, Tiffany, and you're watching Impulse. Thanks, Tiffany. What's going on, Freedom Family? My name is Aaron. In today's episode, we're going to dive deep into the minds of successful YouTubers and find out what they did along their journey to YouTube stardom. Today's successful YouTuber is AU Kronos. He's one of the biggest GTA V YouTubers, and we're going to find out right now how he started his success on YouTube. First question, Kronos, when did you upload your first video on YouTube? I started YouTube exactly on the 9th of May 2012, so just about two and a half years ago. When did you realize you started succeeding on YouTube? Around about the June, July, August mark of 2013. It was when I started to actually get more involved with my videos, put a little more effort into them. It was back in the Call of Duty days when I uploaded Call of Duty videos. GTA V wasn't out, and I started doing live streams, and I guess I had one viral live stream that got over a million views, and that's kind of what sparked my success. Then I started uploading more Call of Duty Zombies videos, and then as Black Ops 2 started to die out and when the hype for Ghosts came, that's when I transitioned to GTA V, and what I basically did was I said to myself, no matter how many videos that might fail in terms of views for GTA V, I want GTA V to be a game defining thing for my channel, and it paid off. I just kept uploading GTA V stuff, and the transition was pretty, pretty good. What would you say to the freedom family that has one main ingredient to grow a successful channel? Consistency, because I went for an entire week without uploading recently, which was last week, and I was barely getting any views at all. It's because I was dealing with other things in life, but one of the things about me that has helped a lot is consistency, just uploading as many times as frequently as possible, making sure that the quality does not degrade from the videos as well. When was the moment you realised you found something completely unique and the viewers wanted more of it? November 2013, it was just after the release of GTA V, and it was the best month I have ever had in terms of this whole YouTube thing. I got about 60,000 subscribers in that month, and that told me that what I was doing was right, because if that many people were subscribing, liking and commenting and viewing my videos, it means I was doing something right. Now before I continue with any more questions with Kronos, let's take it back to Tiffany and see who the runners-up are in today's $100,000 sponsorship powered by freedom.

And congratulations to those Freedom Partners on a job well done. How did you differentiate yourself between other YouTubers to gain traction? Well, I'm Australian and that's probably what helps a lot is my accent is different, my personality comes off as being different. I don't sound like no offense, but I'm just saying like because I'm Australian, because I'm different, like I sound different. And I talk differently to others in which I present my videos. That's kind of what makes me unique. Just as a person, in terms of the content that I post, I don't just limit myself to one specific type of content within one specific type of game. Like I'm always, you know, able to upload whatever content I feel like. And I'm not scared to do that. And I guess if my viewers aren't bothered by that, then that kind of what makes me stand out a bit. Out of all things that happened on YouTube, what is your biggest accomplishment? My biggest accomplishment is probably reaching out and doing something that will have, that has impacted more people than I could ever imagine in front of me in person in my entire life. Knowing that my content has gone around the entire world, has been viewed around the entire world from people from like countries like the United States, England, even Colombia and like that. It's just amazing. Like I never thought that my content would be viewed by so many people. Like that's probably one of the best things that has ever happened to this YouTube thing. Knowing that I can reach out to an unlimited amount of people that are willing to watch my videos. It's just amazing. Well, that was a ton of insightful information from Kronos to help you build your channel on YouTube. Hope you guys enjoyed it.
