Junaid Akram is a content creator. He has said he gave up a stable job to become a content creator, and that he started with zero investment, using his bed as an office and his phone to film. He has said he kept reinvesting in his business, and in September 2020 he decided to explore long-form content.

Early life and background

Akram has said he grew up in a household of six children. He has said his family was the sole supplier of coal to Pakistan Railway. He has said his father lost the family business, and that the arrival of gas took away much of that business. [1]

He has said that in an older family home, seven people slept in one room. He has said that for some reason he wanted to be a teacher, and that he always believed he had an important role in the world. [1][9]

Education

Akram has said he did his schooling at a school in Karachi that was close to his home, about a 15-minute walk away. He studied in an English-medium school and sat his exams in English. He completed a graduate degree privately, which he has said is from Karachi University and cost him 6,000 to 8,000 rupees. He has also said he took the economics paper and passed it after one night of study. [1]

Early work

Akram has said he worked at a burger joint and held that job for 17 days. He worked two jobs at once, one at another restaurant by day and the burger job at night. He has said he started giving tuitions to his cousins and earned 800 rupees from it, 400 from each of two cousins. [1]

He has said he lost his job because of 9/11, when he was 18, and that he learned from it that small events can have large impacts. He spent eight years in a job that he says paid well, and he was based in Karachi until about 2012. He started stand-up comedy in 2010 and has said he performed at several venues in the years he was doing comedy. He has also said that once he was done with his responsibilities he decided it was time to live for himself, and that he was already 28. [1]

Dubai

Akram moved to Dubai hoping to find work there and lived there for five years. He has said he worked as a cold caller for investments while in Dubai and was the best seller in that job. He has said he could not make a real impact in Dubai. He has also said he was working for the Sheikh of Sharjah. [1][7]

He has said his first video went viral before he moved to Dubai, and that viewers told him he was speaking from the heart. He has said there came a point when he was earning more money from Pakistan while not being in Pakistan. He decided to move back because he thought his earnings could grow if he was in Pakistan. He has said that after he moved back from Dubai almost every A-lister channel reached out to him, and that such channels pay really well, 15 lakh, 20 lakh or 25 lakh a month. [1]

Content creation

Akram has said he gave up a stable job to become a content creator, and that it was the toughest decision he made. He has said he had no local example of a content creator to follow at the time, and that his friends were against his decision, though he believes they did not mean any harm. He has said he goes by his gut feeling and had a good feeling about the decision. He has also said he felt he had a much bigger role in life and that he always wanted to be useful to others. [1][7]

He has said he began making content mainly for fun. His early videos were single takes because he did not know how to edit, and he has said they were selfie videos. He has said he sometimes used Windows Movie Maker for his early videos, and that an editor later joined him and brought their own skills. [1][7]

He has said he runs nine channels, and only one of them earns money so far. He runs a sports channel and a channel called Shorts with informative videos. He has said he may enter the clothing business, has a lot of people who know how to run e-commerce, and knows whom to hire for work he cannot do himself. He has said his passion projects are funded by his comedy videos, and that one informative video took about six days to make and earned nine dollars. He has said he has worked on channels for ten years, knows how channels run and what timing they need, and is venturing into many new things now. [1][7]

Education videos

Akram has said education has always been his focus, and that he has made many education videos. He has said his team is working across eighteen subjects and that the next topics will be skill-based and music. [7]

Views

Akram has said digital media is the future, and that television will eventually die out unless it changes. He has said there are 43 national news channels in Pakistan. He has said the audience for long-form content in Pakistan is much smaller than for short funny videos, and that audio long-form content had a market in Pakistan in the radio days. He has said YouTube is a bigger university than any other. [1][7]

He has said Gen Z will decide who comes to power, and that there is a sheer lack of political awareness among Gen Z. He has said Pakistan's largest export is human capital, not textile, that remittances come to about two billion dollars every month, and that he thinks Pakistan's policy is to send people overseas for remittances. He has said Pakistan's global perception is not as positive as it should be, and that Pakistanis are not bad people but have been on the wrong side of history. He has also said Pakistan could create worldwide demand through mango diplomacy, but does not think in that direction. [1][3]

Akram has said even light rain in Karachi causes deaths, power cuts and network outages. He has said Karachi's police are not from the city, that there is no leadership in Karachi, and that many politicians came out of student unions. He has said the system is corrupt and run by short-sighted, egoistic people, and that he was disappointed that COVID did not change people's mindset. [1]

He has said women make up 51 percent of Pakistan's population and are largely marginalized. He has said media owners who are biased in their own business dealings are already compromised. He has said there is a strong urge to Islamize everything, including university campuses and other people's lives. He has also said politicians do not work on ideas because the results of ideas are not tangible. [3][6]

Akram has said he tries to stay humble and tries to keep himself as available to people as he can. He has said he is still like his audience, though more people know him now. He has said he does not claim to know everything, is always open to learning from any source as long as the thing is good, and can be flawed and is just a human. He has said he believes in the power of numbers and that a child may access his ideas about 150 years from now. [6][7]

He has said becoming famous is not hard, but staying relevant is, that to last long one must take others along, and that many celebrities are disconnected from their audience. He has said young people have great energy that should be directed to the right place, and that some people show off their lifestyle and money. He has said successful people should show their path and explain how they did it. He has said Ikigai combines what you are good at, what earns money and what the world needs, and that all a creator needs is to be right once. [7]

Akram has said there are no shortcuts in life, that discipline gets half the job done, and that giving up is not part of his life. He has said he does not accept that anything is impossible and that he is not afraid to fail, having failed many times. He has said failure teaches what not to do next time, and that people are the result of their own choices. He has said he works seven days a week and enjoys it, and that he has always chosen to stay uncomfortable. He has also said that if a person becomes slightly lazy, there is always someone ready to do that person's job. [1][7]

Personal life

Akram describes himself as a shy person. He has said he became depressed from staying at home. He has said there is nothing wrong with therapy, and he urges people with any condition to seek therapy, which he calls very helpful. [1][9]

He has said he used to ride a motorbike in Karachi and fell off three or four times, and that he always had a helmet. He has said he now travels by car rather than by motorbike. He has said he was badly injured after hitting bricks on a dark road that had no markings, and that he has been very fearful since that injury and keeps a wide gap when driving. [5]

Akram has said he went to Oxford and took a tour bus there, and that he visited a cemetery that was one of the saddest places he has been to. He has said a group of students had asked him to come and perform when he applied for a visa to America. He has said he worked with South Indians and shared an apartment with them, and that people who want to see work ethic should look at South Indians. He has said his wish is to be a window through which people on each side can see the other. [5][6][10]
