5 years ago today, I posted my first video here on the channel. I filmed it on an iPhone in selfie mode, and set the camera on top of a few cardboard boxes which were sitting on a chair in my living room. I rambled for a few minutes but the mission was clear: I wanted to help more people with their personal finances and investing, budgeting, etc. I begrudgingly posted the video, as cringe as it was.
I posted a few videos that summer in 2019, but after my first three videos went nowhere...literally 5-10 views each (and all the views were from my friends), I lost interest. That same summer I started watching Tik Tok before bed. At the time, it was mostly young teens/early 20s kids posting funny videos and dances. But there was one day it dawned on me... I thought to myself: "let me search #personalfinance and see what videos come up".
And guess what showed up? Literally one video. On the entire platform of Tik Tok - about finance. I saw that as an opportunity and decided to start posting basic finance Tik Toks.
My goal was simple. Make 30 days of Tik Tok videos in a row and see what happens. And I'm glad I did. After 30 days my account grew to 110K followers, and I continued making content. Content creation was very difficult at first, and I found it hard to edit, as well as come up with ideas. At the same time I started my YouTube again, but I struggled with it for most of 2020, 2021, and 2022.
However, as long as some people were finding the videos helpful, I found it valuable to post, and I've had a lot of fun with the process.
It brings me a lot of joy to hear from people across the world about how my videos have impacted them, or helped them start a retirement account, or start investing. Every time someone says hi to me in person, its very fulfilling seeing that the content I make behind a screen is making a difference.
So I just wanted to say thank you. To another 5 years.
PS I am going to put out a job posting for a creative strategist/social media manager in a couple days if you're looking to be apart of this team! Be on the lookout.
Special thanks to anyone who has supported, worked with me, or helped me a long the way. I would list them all out here but I'm afraid this post would be 1000 pages long at that point 🤣
best,
Humphrey

My friends would ask me finance questions all the time, so I made this channel so I could send them videos answering those questions. I love explaining things simply, and making it fun and easy. This channel is great for beginners and intermediates who are looking to build wealth, learn how to keep their wealth, and get better with personal finance, budgeting, and investing. I also focus a lot of self improvement and productivity, so if you're into that - I hope you stick around!
