More than the highs and victories that people have achieved in their respective journeys, the road to success is paved with trials and difficulties that are meant to strengthen one’s character and teach them valuable lessons that would come in handy in the future. In the case of Yung Hussi, a veteran social media entrepreneur, it is shown how powerful the combination of grit and passion can be in the pursuit of a dream. Today, this visionary serves as an inspiration to go-getters across the globe.
Although he is now at the helm of a successful career, Yung Hussi would always look back on his humble beginnings to remind himself of how far he has come. He also likes to use his journey as a source of motivation to those who think that they will never make it. According to the luminary, the best kind of success is one that is rooted in perseverance, commitment, and faith. He explained that hard times are nothing but necessary steps to prepare people for the best things in life.
In an interview, Yung Hussi talked about some of the struggles and difficulties he went through in the past. He revealed that four years ago, he was pegged as an unpopular high schooler with no promising future ahead of him. “Whenever I went to school, the other kids made fun of me and called me names,” he shared. “Whenever I got a job, my boss would end up firing me after a short amount of time. It just seemed like I could not do anything right,” he added.
Like most teenagers who needed a breather that would help them get away from their troubles and worries, Yung Hussi turned to social media. As one of the biggest fans of humorous internet memes, he felt inspired to create social media pages that revolve around different memes. At that time, he chose Twitter and Instagram as the two main social media networks to create his pages.
In 2016, just one year after launching his own pages, Yung Hassi had already amassed nearly five million followers in total on both Twitter and Instagram. When he realized the potential success he could achieve from capitalizing on his growing followers, he began running ads on his meme pages just to see what would happen. Sure enough, he generated more than six figures during his first year.
After accumulating more than 15 million followers, Yung Hassi started to capture the attention of major artists like Logan Paul, Lil Yachty, Snoop Dogg, and Ray J. Hassi. On top of that, he also began working with them as a promoter of their latest songs and works. “It is hard to believe that only four years ago, I was a broke teenager with no job. That is the power of social media,” he explained.
Fast forward to today, Yung Hassi no longer depends on meme pages to promote his clients’ advertisements. As an official Instagram content creator, he decided to use his increasing popularity to inspire and empower. With no plans of slowing down anytime soon, he intends to use his influence to take go-getters to greater heights and to encourage dreamers to always go after their goals no matter how hard the circumstances currently are.
