“Nobody tells me what I have to do. I can work wherever I want to and put as much effort into it as I want.” Docm77 is a passionate Youtuber/Streamer and does all of his work by himself. He administrates all of his social media platforms and emails, produces, edits and uploads his videos, sets thumbnails and connects with other Youtubers. He also handles his sponsorships and business relations, which needs a lot of determination and discipline. His advice to his 14-year-old self would be: “Don’t be afraid to try out different things and don’t be disappointed if you fail.”
