How I Built: A Popular Storytelling Trend On YouTube

The How I Built trend on YouTube is gaining serious traction as founders, creators, and entrepreneurs share behind-the-scenes stories of how they built their business, brand, or product.

With a simple text overlay like “How I built a 6-figure agency at 23,” videos dive into startup challenges, growth strategies, key decisions, and lessons learned, making them both inspiring and practical.

What makes this trend so powerful is its mix of storytelling and value. Viewers love real, raw insights from people who’ve actually done the work.

Whether you bootstrapped a clothing line, scaled a SaaS product, or grew a YouTube channel from scratch, this format invites connection and trust, positioning you as someone worth listening to.
