E078 - I Grew My Audience From 0 to 6.1 Million Followers With This Four-Step Framework

When most people talk about creating content, they focus on equipment, expertise, or having something groundbreaking to say. But today's guest demolishes those excuses. Jun Yuh reveals how he built an audience of 8 million followers while studying biomedical engineering—not by creating perfect content, but by simply showing up every day.

From filming quick videos during lunch breaks to posting consistently for 5 years straight without missing a day, Jun shows that consistency trumps perfection. We explore his "100 video rule" that turns experimentation into strategy, why most beginners focus on the wrong metrics, and how understanding your audience matters more than production quality.

Whether you're struggling with impostor syndrome or wondering how to monetise your passion, this conversation offers practical insights from someone who's built a thriving content empire by valuing consistency over complexity.
