The English creator group has various brands and ad deals to boost their bank balance. But aside from the collective hustle, every member of this group has their own channel and business.
If YouTube wasn’t enough for KSI and his friends to establish an empire, then they also have a premium website called Side+ where fans have to pay to watch exclusive content like behind-the-scenes or Side+ only videos. Undoubtedly, the fans won’t regret paying around $10 monthly or $92 yearly for the exclusive content.

Sidemen weren’t alone on YouTube, as other creators like Joe Sugg also had similar groups. However, they couldn’t match what Sidemen achieved. KSI and his friends were adaptive with their growth, changing their content over time. Sidemen began as a gaming channel but moved to skits and challenges over time.
Another great thing that helped Sidemen grow so much was the democratic system in the group. This English YouTube group never had a leader. Instead, they all shared the responsibilities of creating content. It helped them from preventing the growth of ego, which could have led the group to split like in most cases.
