LIFE AS A YOUTUBER
Jessii Vee makes videos of herself and puts them on YouTube. Millions of people watch them.
Here, she tells usabout her life as a YouTuber.
Do funny or interesting things happen to you a lot? Do you think hundreds of thousands of people
will want to listen to you tell stories about your life?
That’s what life is like for YouTube star, Jessii Vee. More than 150 million people watch her videos
of funny stories about herself, and subscribers to her channel grow every day.
Twenty-three-year-old Jessii from Ontario, Canada, turns her life into her work, six days a week. ‘I
spend all of Sundayhaving ideas for videos to film that week,’ says Jessii. ‘Then, on Monday, I
wake up early to start making the videos. Usually, a video takes just over an hour to make. I try
to make around five, so it takes most of my day. Then, from Tuesday to Friday, I edit them.’
Jessii also spends a few hours a week writing to her fans. Sometimes she meets fans because
people recognise herwhen she goes out. ‘The other day I went to buy coffee,’ she says, ‘and the
girl serving me almost dropped my coffee when she saw it was me. She left the coffee shop to
meet me outside to take pictures. It always makes me happy tosee my fans are happy.’
Online life isn’t all good. In the past, Jessii felt bad when people said negative things about her.
‘Some people onlineare so quick to write hate comments,’ she says. Some people said that she
has really big cheeks and a really thin mouth. It made her feel bad until she found a different
way to think. ‘People were negative about things that I can’t change. So I decided to love those
things and I became more confident in myself. Only people who don’t feel good about themselves
make hate comments.’
If you want to start a YouTube channel, there are some things to think about. One thing you
might want to do is turn off the comments. Then you won’t get any negative ones. Being safe is
very important, so don’t show your face or real name and don’t tell people where you live. One of
the most famous YouTubers, DanTDM, a 26-year-old Englishman, didn’t show his face in the
beginning and now his videos have over 10 billion views (5 billion people all over the world
watched the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics).
Jessii has some advice about what kind of videos to make. ‘Be yourself. Don’t change to try
to make peoplelike you. They will love YOU! When I first started YouTube, I wanted to look
good and do things in ways thatpeople would like. In my old videos, I don’t look comfortable
because I'm not being myself. But in my videosnow, you can see that I’m 100 per cent myself.
I’m crazy and strange, and I don’t care what people think.’
Jessii also says you should make your channel about something you really care about because
that will inspirepeople. People know when you’re not being the real you because you just want
to be popular. ‘Make videos about something you love and your channel will grow much faster,
believe me!’ Nicola Prentis.
