With 4.66 billion users by the year 2020, according to the Global Digital Observation Report, the Internet is undeniably the biggest way to showcase your talent to artists, but only a few people have been able to make a mark for themselves. Amid stiff competition, creating a huge group of around 20 million followers is nothing short of a miracle. And this miracle has really shown the hero of our today’s story. The success story done by Bhuvan Bam in a stylish way using the power of the internet is very inspiring.

In order to make money from the video, he realized the need to publish it on YouTube (Facebook did not offer video monetization back then). Bhuvan Created BB Ki Vines a YouTube channel by name and uploaded all his videos there.
Business Khabar In a special conversation with Bhuvan, he said that “when I started I did not think that I would be able to do so much. Just kept doing my work and the followers kept growing. ”
Since the launch of ‘BB Ki Vines‘ on 20 June 2015, there have been many ups and downs, but Bhuvan has never looked back. That was the time when channels like ‘The Viral Fever’ and ‘AIB‘ were popular among English audiences, and there was not much Hindi-style content available on YouTube. His use of unique comic-timing and his ‘Delhi-based Hindi’ soon made him the star of the Internet world and his number of followers grew in huge numbers.
In the year 2016, Bhuvan met a man named Rohit Raj who used to work for artists. Rohit’s expertise worked magic for Bhuvan and has helped him focus solely on his material. His popularity continued to grow day by day. Despite the growing popularity and creating new dimensions of success, he continued to work hard and research new material.
