A motor mechanic in Indonesia has made his village famous.

Siswanto, 38 years old, had a brilliant idea.

He saw a TV show about someone who became rich by making online videos and thought he could do that.

But his first try didn't succeed.

Siswanto was trying to repair a valuable motorbike, so he looked for an online video to help him.

But, the video was too confusing.

Siswanto then decided he would make simple videos, explaining how to fix bikes.

It wasn't easy.

He didn't have money or the correct equipment.

But Siswanto continued making videos and now he has reached over two million followers on YouTube.

He also has a small team to help with his videos.

The people of Kasegeran, Siswanto's village, knew nothing about YouTube.

So Siswanto explained and then trained over 30 villagers to be YouTubers.

Kasegeran now has many YouTubers making videos about everything from cooking to farming.

Siswanto has made himself and his village a great success.
