![Alt Text]() The internet has seen a surge in video content creation and distribution in recent years. In particular, YouTube is one of the most popular sites for this type of work, with thousands of channels operating on its platform. With billions of videos uploaded daily by people from different corners of the globe, it can be difficult, but not impossible, to stand out from the crowd. Mohamed Rashid, or Chatmo as he’s more commonly known by his viewers, is an example of someone who has taken advantage of that opportunity to achieve great success. At 21 years old, he’s managed to build two separate YouTube channels with over 120K and 65K+ subscribers respectively. The video creator primarily produces comedic street interviews on the first channel and gaming videos on the second. Born in Papendrecht in the Netherlands, Chatmo is a Somali-Dutch YouTuber with a knack for making people smile. In fact, that’s how gained notoriety at such a young age. Chatmo’s fascination with social media and its ability to entertain and educate started at a young age. Growing up, he looked up to a lot of big content creators like Qucee, but to him, making videos was just something people did for fun. As he grew older, Chatmo realized he could turn his passion into a full-time career, and everything changed. Determined to actualize his dream of having a large audience and using his platform to entertain thousands, he turned his PC on and immersed himself in learning more about video content creation. Making YouTube videos and getting super famous was not as easy as Chatmo had originally thought. However, that was his passion, and he was ready to do anything to see it through. Gradually, his skills improved, and his audience started expanding. His natural charisma and infectious positivity kept attracting new viewers and subscribers, making him one of the most popular up-and-coming YouTubers in the Netherlands. After some time, Chatmo’s insistence on holding onto his likes and disregarding trends and hypes on social media almost hampered his growth, but he quickly pivoted and adapted. Now, two years since he began the journey, Chatmo has gained a lot of experience across different social platforms and achieved his wildest dreams. Besides YouTube, Chatmo has diversified and ventured into other platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok, where he has quickly gained hundreds of thousands of fans. That’s one lesson Chatmo shares with aspiring content creators. “If you stick to 1 social media platform, you will not grow as fast,” Chatmo shares. “Create content that interests everyone so that you appeal to a larger target group.” Working alongside his idol is another achievement Chatmo takes a lot of pride in. When he was younger, he had no way of knowing that he’d one day work alongside Qucee, who with almost 800K subscribers, is one of the most popular YouTubers in the Netherlands today. The duo recently started making videos together, which makes Chatmo incredibly proud of his journey. The goal is to hit even larger numbers, do more collaborations with big names in the industry, and inspire more people to pursue their dreams. Chatmo is also eager to finish his studies, graduate from college, and make more memories with his loved ones in the next few years.
