iHasCupquake nowadays has a wide variety of
gaming content. There was a point in the channel’s
life where Herrera shifted her focus on sticking to one
gaming series to trying a wide variety of games and
related content. While the most popular videos on her
channel are from her Minecraft and Five Nights at
Freddy’s series, her daily gaming videos still do great
with views and engagement.

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM
IHASCUPQUAKE?
Creating and maintaining a channel as successful as
iHasCupquake isn’t easy. It takes a lot of hard work
and skills. We can learn a lot from how Herrera has
chosen to maintain and grow iHasCupquake. Here
are some of the major takeaways.

MAINTAIN A CONSISTENT UPLOADING
SCHEDULE
One of the ways that Herrera was able to stay rel-
evant in the YouTube algorithm in the early days of
her channel was to upload a ton of videos. At one
point, she was uploading 5 videos per day. That’s
an insane amount of content for just one person to

GAMING
iHasCupquake spreads positivity through gaming

her focus towards gaming and let’s
play on her channel. Gaming had
always been something that she
enjoyed throughout her life, so it
was a natural fit for her channel to
progress into let’s plays.
She started with League of Leg-
ends and World of Warcraft vid-
eos, but her channel really started
to blow up when she started her
Minecraft series. At that time,
there wasn’t a huge abundance of
Minecraft content on YouTube.
Minecraft was still in Alta, so very
few people were playing it. This
gave Herrera the opportunity to
make her series with little compe-
tition. It didn’t take long for her
series to blow up, quickly propel-
ling her to be one of the most
watched creators on YouTube. She
went on to create her Minecraft
Oasis series, a modded series of
Minecraft, further contributed to
her growing popularity.
