I’m Chris Sharpe

I’ve been making a full-time living on YouTube for over a decade.

My journey into the digital world started after a tough setback in independent filmmaking. My first micro-budget feature film saw modest success, but my second crashed hard, leaving me broke and uncertain about my future. That experience pushed me to dive deep into the online space, learning everything I could about SEO and content creation.

Soon, I was drawn to YouTube, where I saw an opportunity to create the shows I couldn’t make in traditional film. Alongside my friend (and now wife), Hilah, we launched Hilah Cooking – a funny cooking show that grew quickly, allowing both of us to quit our day jobs.

In 2012, I teamed up with another friend, Adriene, to create Yoga With Adriene, which has since become the #1 yoga channel on YouTube with over 12 million subscribers.

Over the past decade, I’ve been fortunate to travel the world, collaborate with amazing people, and work with brands I could have only dreamed of. There have been wins, losses, and countless lessons along the way, and I’m still just getting started.

On this site and through my newsletter, I’ll be sharing insights into the creator economy, YouTube strategies, and my ongoing projects.

I’m glad we found each other.

Chris
