Hey, I'm John Bamberger — also known online as jbam. I've been creating content on the internet since I was 10 years old. What started as uploading my Fortnite clips to YouTube eventually turned into a passion for content creation, branding, editing, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Even when my videos barely got views, I kept creating simply for the thrill of potentially posting a viral video.

Over time, I shifted away from competitive Fortnite videos and started making skits and entertainment-focused content. That creative side of creation became something I genuinely enjoyed, and I spent countless hours teaching myself everything necessary — from editing to thumbnail design. There were nights I stayed up until 3 AM learning new techniques, improving my videos, and mastering programs like Photoshop and Vegas Pro — all by myself. To this day, I have over 5 years of experience in both design and video editing.

As I became more involved in the Fortnite community, I started working with larger creators behind the scenes by designing thumbnails, helping produce content, and appearing in videos. During that time, I was able to turn my online skills into my first real source of income, which completely changed my perspective on what was possible through social media and the internet.

In 2021, I launched a Fortnite TikTok account where I consistently posted short-form content every single day. Several videos went viral, a couple of them reaching over 1,000,000 views, and I eventually grew the page to over 90,000 followers and more than 6,000,000 total views. Through the Epic Games Support-A-Creator program, I earned over $5,000 just from my TikTok. That experience opened my eyes to the power of consistency and audience building online.

Later that same year, I entered the world of NFT and crypto marketing through Twitter. I worked with various projects and agencies, running promotional campaigns that often generated hundreds of dollars per post — at one point running multiple campaigns per day while still in school. It was my first experience making serious money online and gave me valuable insight into digital marketing, branding, and online business.

When the NFT market eventually crashed, I shifted my focus toward trading. In early 2023, I discovered options trading — and like many beginners, approached it with the wrong mindset. For nearly 10 months and over $35,000 in losses, I struggled with ego and discipline. Once I accepted that losses were part of the process and began relying on data and structured risk management, everything changed. Since then, I've generated well into multiple six figures through options and futures trading.

At the start of 2026, I launched a trading mentorship and community where I taught the same strategies that made me profitable. I built a community of over 500 members and helped students collectively generate tens of thousands of dollars. Around the same time, I launched a trading YouTube channel that gained over 1,000 subscribers in under two months.

In October 2025, I launched my first Roblox YouTube channel focused on short-form content. After just 33 days of posting 3+ shorts every day, the channel surpassed 100,000 subscribers and accumulated over 10,000,000 views, earning my first YouTube play button. I also built a TikTok page around my passion for cars, growing it to over 6,000 followers and more than 6,000,000 views.

Today, I can pretty much guarantee that I can get views on any fresh channel. I've mastered pacing, viewer retention, scripting, hooks, design, and editing. I'm the literal definition of a jack of all trades.
