The Story Of Breath Academy
Hey!
Welcome to the Breath Academy, where you’ll learn how to professionally create graphic breath-hold videos.
Let me tell you a short story about how I got into this type of video…
One day, I was scrolling through TikTok, just like any other user.
At that time, I already had a successful TikTok account with around 25,000 followers.
But I wanted more. I wanted to build another account and achieve even greater success.
On that particular day, I came across a video where you had to hold your breath—similar to the ones I make today.
I thought to myself: Why not give it a try and create my own version of these videos?
So, I got to work! I spent a long time figuring out how to animate the graphics in these videos while keeping the process as simple as possible.
I posted my first videos… and up until my 21st video, nothing significant happened.
But then came video #22 – and it completely blew up.
In just one week, it had over 4 million views! Absolutely crazy.
I kept going, posting consistently – and every now and then, I had videos that reached over a million views.
After just two months, my account had almost 100,000 followers.
But then, one day, I tried to log in as usual – and suddenly, I saw: “Your account has been permanently banned.”
Now you might be wondering: Which account?
I’m talking about my OG account: @breath.academy.
You probably know my videos from my second account, unless you came here through my newsletter.
The ban was a huge shock. To this day, I’m still trying to get the account back – but things aren’t looking good.
I suspect it was due to false mass reporting, but I don’t know for sure. What I do know is: I didn’t violate any guidelines.
It was frustrating, but I didn’t let it stop me. I started a new account – and once again, I found success with this type of video.
And that only motivated me even more to give you the opportunity to create these videos yourself.
Because in this niche, there’s almost no real competition!
That was my little story – I hope you found it interesting.
