Beginner Guide
Master the core loop in minutes: buy creators, collect videos, upload, earn, and reinvest.
Core gameplay loop
- Buy a YouTuber from the Shop (Noob is the cheapest starter at $10).
- Place them on your plot — they auto-record videos over time.
- Walk into a YouTuber to collect finished videos.
- Upload videos to earn Cash and YouTube Points.
- Reinvest Cash into better creators and building upgrades.
- Rebirth when ready to earn Rebirth Coins for permanent boosts.
Early-game tips
- Redeem code release and milestone codes before grinding.
- Prioritize creators with higher videos-per-second over saving Cash.
- Upload often — YouTube Points gate building upgrades even if you have Cash.
- Complete daily quests when available for bonus Cash.
- Expand floors as soon as point thresholds allow — more slots = more income.

| Action | PC | Mobile |

Currency
Three resources drive progression — do not confuse spendable Cash with YouTube Points.
Cash
Main spendable currency. Used to buy YouTubers, equipment, and some upgrades. Earned primarily by uploading videos.
YouTube Points
Earned when your uploads gain views. You cannot spend them like Cash — they unlock building/plot upgrade tiers. If upgrades are greyed out despite having Cash, you need more YouTube Points.
Rebirth Coins
Granted when you Rebirth. Spent at the board near the Rebirth pedestal for permanent account-wide bonuses. Codes often grant Rebirth Coins directly.
YouTubers
Creators are your production engine — each has a videos-per-second rate and shop price.
Buying and placing
Open the Shop, purchase a creator with Cash or Robux, then place them on an open slot on your plot. Higher-tier creators produce more videos per second.
Collecting videos
Touch any placed YouTuber to pull completed videos into your inventory. Upload from the studio UI to convert them into earnings.
Scaling production
- Add more plot slots via building upgrades
- Replace low-tier creators as Cash allows
- Stack Rebirth upgrades that boost upload income
- Use codes for bursts of Cash or Rebirth Coins
Rebirth
Rebirth resets run progress but funds permanent upgrades — essential for late game.
Unlike some tycoons, Rebirth does not directly multiply income. Each Rebirth awards Rebirth Coins spent on a dedicated upgrade board beside the Rebirth pedestal.
When to Rebirth
- When progression slows and upgrades feel affordable
- After hoarding enough value that reset cost is worth permanent bonuses
- After redeeming Rebirth Coin codes for a head start on the board
- Before chasing high-tier creators if coin upgrades boost upload rates
Upgrades
Building upgrades add floors and placement slots — gated by YouTube Points and Cash.
Each building tier requires a minimum YouTube Points total plus Cash. More floors let you place more YouTubers simultaneously, multiplying videos per second across your studio.
Tier List
Editorial ranking based on videos-per-second efficiency and late-game value — not official.
General ranking logic
- S-Tier: Highest videos/sec for price — best long-term ROI after plot slots are ready
- A-Tier: Strong mid-late game picks when transitioning from starter units
- B-Tier: Situationally good until replaced
- C-Tier: Early fillers (e.g. Noob) — replace quickly

Trello
There is no verified public Trello board for Be a YouTuber! — use this wiki and official community channels instead.
Many Roblox games publish a Trello for stats and codes. Be a YouTuber! currently relies on Discord, the Roblox group, and in-game announcements. This wiki consolidates codes and mechanics so you do not need an unofficial Trello clone.
- Codes: see the Codes section above
- Updates: Roblox experience description & group posts
- Community: My YouTube Empire Discord
Items & Events
Limited events tie to code releases — Mutations and underwater were recent themes.
Developers release milestone codes (likes, visits, favorites) and event codes (Mutations, underwater). Event rewards are usually Rebirth Coins; some grant Cash.
Staying current
- Watch for new code strings after updates
- Rejoin servers after patches if redemption fails
- Check this wiki's active code table after each announced milestone
Studio & Map
Your plot is the hub — expand vertically and fill every slot.
The studio map is your personal tycoon plot. Upgrades add floors and creator slots. Plan layout so collecting videos (walking to each YouTuber) stays efficient — group creators you visit often near upload terminals when possible.
- Unlock floors via building upgrades (YouTube Points + Cash)
- Maximize slots before buying ultra-expensive single creators
- Rebirth upgrades may reduce travel or boost upload — factor into layout habits
Scripts
No scripts are needed — and third-party scripts risk bans or scams.
Video creation runs automatically on placed YouTubers. Legitimate progression uses codes, rebirth upgrades, and efficient creator purchases — all covered in this wiki.
FAQ
Why will my code not redeem?
Confirm you liked the game, joined IM A YOUTUBER, typed the code exactly, and are on an updated server. Expired codes show no reward.
Can I upgrade without enough YouTube Points?
No. Upload more videos to gain views and accumulate YouTube Points even if you already have Cash.
Is Rebirth worth it early?
Yes, once you can afford it — Rebirth Coin upgrades compound across all future runs.
Is this the same game as My YouTube Empire?
Yes. The experience was renamed; codes and mechanics carry over under Be a YouTuber!
