Top Tips on moving from platform to platform in the digital age
The digital world is full of swings and roundabouts. We are now in an era where you can be famous in the digital world and hardly even known at all in the physical one. Like something celebrities have been dreaming of all their lives, we can now enjoy anonymity and fame in small doses.
There are a handful of platforms that let you make a name for yourself in the online world. Some of the best known include Instagram, where you use your best photos to gain followings, and YouTube, where the casual video game streamer can carve out a career for themselves in relatively little time.
Jairo Escobar has managed to do precisely that. He went from D3 ranked professional paintball player in his old life in Venezuela to becoming one of the most significant YouTube sensations to come out of Canada in the last four years.
Jairo's Rise to YouTube Fame
Fans of this incredibly talented YouTube sensation will recognize his signature comedic style. Jairo Escobar started making these YouTube videos on his channel to provide a bit of entertainment for his friends. A few films later, and he had begun to garner a following. With regular releases, he realized he could make a profit from running ads on his videos. With enough clicks and enough good content, he steadily rose to YouTube fame.
As of the time of writing, Jairo had 272 thousand YouTube followers. He has amassed a further 155 thousand fans on Instagram through sharing snippets of his life. Jairo has already created his own Media firm, a company that broke records in its making. It was the first Latino-run and orientated media company in Toronto. On his own, Jairo Escobar has managed to inspire a whole generation of up-and-coming YouTube stars of the Latino persuasion, all of which are following in his footsteps.
With all this inspiration around, you would think he had a big head. Jairo manages to stay humble. In late 2019 he made the executive decision to stop splitting his focus between the channel and his company, which he worked to sell on. Nevertheless, the track is still going strong.
