How the Sidemen built YouTube's most die-hard fanbase
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2023
- The @Sidemen recently held their 2023 Charity Football Match in London and it broke records. 62,000 people were in attendance and I decided to go to understand how a group of 7 seemingly ordinary guys did such a thing. In this video, I dive into the history of the Sidemen and the psychology of what makes a true fanbase.
Special thanks to Daniel McMahon - @DodfordYT for your hospitality, tickets, and explaining the history of the Sidemen to me!
Also thank you to Zack Honarvar (manager of @YesTheory ). If you are interested in the business world, he is the best and just started a new podcast - @_RiskyBusiness
Co-produced: Ken Chwatek - @ChwatCity
I'm also on LinkedIn and Instagram!

Friends! Thanks for the patience on this upload. Lot's of new friends... 40k subscribers!! In May, we had 4k 🫢. The goal is to always go one step deeper in research, and one step more creative in packaging. Hope you all think this was representative of that!
Still trying to figure out how to get more content out while keeping this voice and style ours. Finding that system is my next chapter!
Anyway, I believe the creator world pendulum is swinging back to this idea of "a true fanbase". Curious to hear your thoughts down below!
Been a huge fan of you lately. Cheering for you!
Beautifully put together friend. I knew about the Sidemen but I clicked on the video to watch you. Keep doing what you're doing, creating is key
Just watched this, thank you for the kind note about us homie 🙏
I was asleep on a plane 36k feet in the air omw to LA, checked the time and remembered that there was gonna be a video today. Paid 8 bucks for WiFi, watched video = alllll worth it.
Great work man. Can’t wait to see what’s next.
Bro just casually puts out some of the highest quality videos on RUclips
I would seriously watch a 10 hours version video of this topic if it's as resourceful and informative as how you make it!
How to build a community is something I've been trying to figure out for more than you know, so this was super intriguing to watch, but dang it the way you produced it was way above my expectations, like super super engaging and interesting. I knew I spotted a talented content creator when I first saw you on tiktok (before you even had your first 1k 😅)! So glad I stuck by, otherwise I'd miss RUclips's hidden gem of a channel 😭
Dude, stoked to see your growth this year! These videos are incredibly well-made, and I believe you're on the path to your vision 100%
Trust me Tejas, with videos this good and personalised you are definitely building a fanbase
Honoured to be involved in this. And apologies for the HEAT in my apartment bro
You're really growing into this style. I questioned it at the start, but theres something special in it. Loving it
This guy never misses with his content, keep it up mate!
I couldn’t agree more bro… This is only my third video of his so far but he seriously is one to watch in my opinion! His storytelling and filmmaking skills are absolutely insane
This is so awesome, Tejas. I'm definitely a fan! Keep it up!
Bro this is amazing 🔥 smashed it on every level and honoured to be a small part in it 😂 creators like you show me how wrong what I said can be 🚀
not wrong! you are way ahead of many people in this industry. Just consutructive criticism that changed the way I look at playing this game.
keep it up man!! your vids are always fun to watch!
i feel more connected to a creator when they are smaller, and the community is more tightly knit. knowing they see your comments, and thinking that you as an individual had something to do with their growth feels different to watching something like a mrbeast video.
legend is back
Not all audiences are built the same! Very important for folks to recognize
Tejas - thanks for featuring the tribe test. I love what you did with it.
Keep rocking. This is awesome
Greg, thanks for watching!!
thank you tejas
nice vid Tejas
you and the content closet NEED to make more videos not just with you all together but CENTERED on you guys being together
I think you're currently my favorite future 1 mln sub RUclipsr. Your storytelling style is familiar, but still your own. Please never change that. 🙏
You’re stuff is so good im going to turn on the notifications. Seriously keep up the good work and you are carving out your own space in the educational space by being a storyteller too!
SUCH a good video. Going to show this to Greg... he'll be stoked. A master when it comes to building communities online. Can't wait to watch your content journey unfold you're a future giant in the space.
Thanks so much!!
been here since 1.8k subscribers! the growth is amazing, keep going man 💯
Love this video bro
I can tell you work extremely hard and it shows. You will get your recognition and big moment soon. You have true potential. Amazing video! ❤
Here before this blows up, super underrated video, answered beautifully and thoughtfully, the way you explained each reason and backed it up with numerous testimonials was perfect
The fact that you said football has gained my respect
Story telling getting better and better 🔥🚀
Wow you and your friends are leading the next meta. I’m calling it. RUclipsrs are directors, story tellers, and artists. Also I learned a lot with this. Thanks for all the hard work.
Fingers crossed! thanks so so much.
Great content man. I was at the match loooking at the seats you had and thought that they were probably the best in the stadium lol.
Content Closet in full power! Good job! I enjoyed montage of watching podcast
your edits are so good man
what a pretty video
Thank you for making my RUclips experience so wholesome again. Feels like i'm back in my teen yotube era, growing and learning with people whose content made me happy. You really brought back the creativity and positivity this platform has been lacking. Can't wait to watch you grow more and achieve your dreams!
Very interesting
Thanks for sharing
I really like the general picture of the video 😮
Dude, thats the best advice ive heard on community
This was really great, Tejas. This feels very applicable in today's landscape of content abundance. How do you turn your 'why' into something people can strive to achieve themselves or feel like their a valued piece of your growth to achieve that 'why'. Got some good things for me to think about. 🙏
loved this vid sm man SO creative and informative!!
Glad you liked it!!
Great Video Brother! Looking forward for more!
always love your vids
I am an honorary member of the Tejas Tribe
What a masterpiece of a video! Did you not color grade t 12:00 on purpose?
1:45 CONTENT CLOSET !!!!
Great video mate!
Interesting to see an Americans perspective on the Sidemen, but also the deep dive into RUclips community
Very well made video man❤
bro doesn't miss
Tejas bro! I remember stumbling onto your 'Hollywood is unpredictable' vid a few weeks ago (the algorithm chucked it up) and i remember being super impressed in the production quality, the cool camera angles and how nuts it was that someone was making this much good stuff had so few subs. But then, i forgot the name of the channel and so I couldn't find any more videos! thankfully your stuff got recommended again and i have been binging a bunch of your stuff, you've got such a good back catalogue, i reckon when youtube starts pushing your stuff you're going to grow fast. But i gotta ask man, your picture quality is so clean, and lighting is pristine, how do you do it? Are you using a Sony A7SIII? And what lenses? Cos I wish I could recreate your look its so mint (I know your lighting has a lot to do with it too, are you mainly bouncing light from your cob light off the roof?)
Anyhow wanted to encourage ya that you're doing well, and your hard work is gonna pay off soon, I reckon what happened to Riza will happen to you, where she took off overnight and the hardwork will all be worth it. Keep it up bro!
dude!! thanks so much for the compliemnts. welcome back :) Yes, I use the a7siii with 3 main lenses 17-28 tamron and some GM's.
@@TejasHullur Yo thanks so much for getting back to me, appreciate your time mate
Love you Tejas
Your story telling inspires me to start editing videos again
wow appreciate you bro!
I really enjoy your content
You are amazing mate ❤️
That “shot on iPhone 15” at the end gave my Ryan Trahan going “oui oui” in France vibes
hahahahahha
I learned about the sidemen just about this year, wild!
Dude is killing it. I love informative content like this but most of the time it’s just people talking over a bunch of edits. Tejus can take the same topic but develop it into a captivating story that makes you want to keep watching to the end. I’m a big fan, keep it up!!!
WOW thank you!
Whatever the fan base looks like in the future, I'm here for the ride
You have a fanbase... we love u Tejas ❤❤
aw thank you :)
BANGER
This guy rules
Amazing video
10:45 does anyone know what keyboard this is?
DODFORD ? what a fucking crossover !
16:21 watch closely you will notice something.
2:43 Ignore him bro… I care about you dw, love u xoxo
(Also, admittedly I’ve only ever watched two other videos from you before this one I believe, which was your Casey Neistat video, and your David Dobrik/Snapchat video… Both of which were incredibly entertaining and also interesting too!! But seriously, your videos really are incredible from what I’ve seen so far, your film making and storytelling skills are unreal as well!! Seriously, keep going man… You’re on the right track here for sure i pinkie promise you)
Also also, during that long awkward silence at the end… Before I even read what it said on screen, I naturally just went and turned all notifications on for you… Yet another incredible video, and I’m gonna watch another video or two of yours right after typing this out. You really really really are one to watch man, I promise🙏🏼💙)
another tejas classic
Bros sat in front of Robbie from AFTV with no idea 💀 16:19
7:15
wow this video was amazing! Really thought this was a 300k+ video for sure, it really blew my expectations away! Great work, hope to see more awesome stuff from this channel in the future! :)
Glad you liked it!
Wow 😳
Love the sidemen❤ going to subscribe your content looks fire
Welcome aboard!
Wow
Ugh I love yes theory
I'm proud to say I was here before you blow up♥
I am an OG example4 fan
nice
Bro said expensive tickets, meanwhile they were like £10 each
w content bro
Go tejas Go content closet
Never heard of them either, people like to watch others do things instead of doing it.
Never clicked faster than ever!
This will blow up once it hits Reddit 😆
No Tejas you have a fan base stop overthinking 😂
thank you :) think there is a lot of building to do but the foundations are setting!
@@TejasHullur couldn’t agree more:)
What money are you talking about.
The ticket was about 8 pounds for charity only.
The tickets were cheap not expensive lol
still sold out!
You have a fan base don’t worry 😂😂
Thank you for not calling it soccer and Football instead
I had to catch myself every time hahaha
But it’s called soccer…
@@Rymaja only for the USA for the whole world it's Football
@@Internet_Insider_ In South Africa everyone calls it soccer..
@@Rymaja What about the rest of the world. Bro it's football. You literally use your FOOT on a ball for the whole game. American Football you barely use your foot. How can you even argue this lol. 😂
It's a shame that KSI is fucking up his brand by associating himself with Logan "crypto zoon scammer" Paul
