DanTDM started his YouTube channel back in 2012 and his content has focused mainly on gaming. Specifically, his content involves a lot of gameplay videos as well as reviews.

According to an article on the YouTuber by Nas Academy, at first he would film and edit his videos himself during his spare time. When his YouTube channel was still starting out DanTDM was working at a supermarket. When he reached 10,000 subscribers within his first seven months on YouTube, he decided to quit his job and focus on being a YouTuber.

"So, as his fan base grew even more, Daniel decided to shift his focus and target his content specifically towards a younger audience," the Nas Academy article says. The change in strategy has led to his views growing in number even more.

Today, Daniel Middleton manages two other YouTube channels aside from DanTDM. One is MoreTDM and the other is known as DanTDM Live.

According to an article by the BBC, his advice to aspiring YouTubers is to "make sure you've got everything in place so that you're confident that everything you put out there that has your name attached to it is what you believe in."
