Hi,
I'm Aidan
I started making YouTube videos back in 2012. I remember spending hours on a video just to have it gain 10 views (from friends and family). It wasn’t until 2017 that I would have actual success. In the 10+ years that I have been doing YouTube, I have learned the ins and outs of content creation, audience engagement, and the ever-evolving landscape of online video, equipping me with a wealth of knowledge to guide and empower fellow content creators on their own unique journeys.
I want to help you get your time back by giving you information that took me years to learn. I can also give you guidance on new ideas you may have, or the direction to take your channel. I’m here to help.

My First YouTube Video
I started making videos on my Mom's old MacBook (very obvious from the 4 fps haha). I made very bad videos like these for many years before transitioning to making Minecraft Animations.
I started Cartoon Apocalypse (Called "Star vs the Forces of Evil Ideas" initially) in 2017. This channel was my first super successful channel. I hit over 1000 subscribers in 15 days after starting the channel. Since this was my first major success on YouTube, I did a lot of learning. I started out making really bad videos, and kept improving to meet higher and higher standards.
Hitting 400,000 Subscribers
After hitting 100,000 Subscribers in 2019, I knew I had cracked the code for a successful series that had each video getting over a million views. This propelled my channel into major success. Eventually in 2021, I reached 400,000 Subscribers. I would have never thought I could reach 400,000 subscribers when I was just starting out in 2012.
Starting Aidan Analytics
I made videos for Cartoon Apocalypse for over 5 years. I am the kind of person who likes to try and do many new things. So naturally over time, I grew more and more disinterested in making videos for Cartoon Apocalypse. In 2023 I decided I was ready for a change. I didn't know what my passion was. I didn't know what to do, where to get a new job, or even how to live. That's when I figured out what my passion was. YouTube. I've made consistent videos on YouTube since 2012. That is the one thing I have never gotten tired of. So I knew I had to start Aidan Analytics. I wanted to share my passion with others and help them achieve what I have.
