With the help of his elder brother he somehow managed to become a web designer but his low self-esteem and health issues prevented him from becoming successful in this profession. Eventually his life took a turn for the better when he discovered YouTube and started posting videos on it. After much struggles, he was finally able to achieve all the success and wealth he had ever wished for. Life is yet not perfect for Williams as he still suffers from various health issues, but it is definitely going on the right track now.

Many people commented on his videos, offering words of praise and encouragement. This gave the depressed young man much hope and he began uploading a wider variety of content related to gaming.
