James first began his journey of a full time Youtuber in 2008. His videos for the most part are all revolving around gaming and skits. He started with creating videos for the channel Machinima which is primarily gaming videos and walkthroughs.
In 2010, James then joined The Creatures. He has gained most of his fame from this channel because he was with them for four years. He along with many other content creators on the channel made numerous gaming series’ which created somewhat of a trend when it came to gaming content.
He has since moved on to his new channel that he co-hosts on called Cow Chop. It is a combination of video games and skits. I think the appeal to the channel is that there is the regularly uploaded gaming content but they always upload videos that are just purely comedic with almost no context.
His crude humor is what has gained him so many followers. He isn’t afraid to make a fool of himself on camera. Which I think works to his advantage because it becomes relatable to his viewers (to an extent of course).
James is currently a finalist for the Shorty Awards which is to recognize individuals and organizations producing great content for Youtube, Instagram and all other social media platforms.
I really enjoyed reading this blog about James. I personally am a fan on his as well and to be able to read his journey and your insights on him as a social media influencer was very interesting.
Keep it up!
Really interesting to read about the origin of his career. I’ve been watching his content since he started cow chop but remember hearing about him when he worked with Machinima under the name UberHaxorNova
I’m surprised I haven’t heard of this goofball! Seems like he produces content that would be right up my alley haha. I think your post does him justice in sharing his success story. Only thing I can think of is adding a video example or two showing a couple of examples where he reached a lot of viewers!
