started from zero

Challenge

Skilla Football never started as client work. It began from my own desire to see what my skills looked like on camera – with no strategy, no plan and no audience. On January 21, 2019, I uploaded my first video.

Starting point

  • Followers: 0
  • No strategy
  • Just a camera and training

Insight

Great content does not begin with algorithms or tricks. It begins with understanding why someone would care.

Strategy

Audience

A global football audience

Hypothesis

Interaction and repetition build an audience

Formats

Skill and training videos, tested for years

Distribution

Organic social

Execution

For years I built Skilla Football alongside school, work and other projects. I filmed, published and tested – learning what stops the scroll, what gets shared and what brings people back. The experiments turned into a deep understanding of short-form content.

Testing and iteration

Few ideas work perfectly at first. I test, learn and make the next version better.

Version A

Occasional posting

What we learned

Testing and talking to the audience teach the most

Version B

Systematic testing and repetition

Result

More than 50 million views in the strongest months

Numbers are based on analytics data.

Data behind the numbers

I don't want you to simply trust the results. I'm happy to show where the numbers come from.

  • Instagram videos average roughly 1.5 million views
  • The experience is the foundation of client content strategies
  • Led to creating my own product, 100% Baller, in August 2026

What I learned

Years of posting, experimenting and failing taught me practically everything I know about social media.

Content succeeds based on why someone would care – not the algorithm.

An audience can become a product: 100% Baller helps young players with training, nutrition, sleep and recovery – the things I had to learn the hard way.
