1. How has YouTube been for you?
It’s been crazy! I’ve been viewed across the world and people have shown an interest. I’ve said this in many videos before: I didn’t know what to expect going into this. I prepared myself for people being mean and perhaps hating my videos, but it has pretty much been the opposite.
2. Does it scare you to think that your face has been viewed by such a large audience?
I don’t think anyway can truly comprehend the idea that strangers (& so many) are watching them. Even to this day, I sometimes think about it all. My channel is considered small, but the diversity in my views is fantastic – I’ve been viewed by over 113 countries. You get used to it for sure.
3. What’s it like to have viewers as young as 13 viewing your videos?
One of my biggest age demographics is the 13-17 bracket, I guess because of my age being 18 (as a main contributor), they may feel they can relate to me as we are similar age and therefore enjoy watching me. I feel like it’s my responsibility to kind of be a good example and being sensible: no swearing, no nudity, no violence etc. I know it sounds silly, but being that young – you look up to a lot of people. I know I did being 13!
4. What has been your favourite part and your not so favourite part about doing YouTube?
Favourite is when I filmed, edited and uploaded one of my videos (Oxford Shopping) thinking it might get a few views, up to 100 perhaps. And then I was proven wrong and it now has over 520! You never know how people are going to react to your videos. My not so favourite time is when people leave horrible comments. They eventually delete them or I delete them. But going into this industry where you’re creative, people will have opinions. It’s how you deal with it and attitude is the main thing.
5. Where do you see yourself in 5 years time on YouTube?
I hope I develop a larger fan base; I have a small one at the moment and also have even more countries viewing! My channel is projected to reach around 30,000 views total in a years time – but who knows, it may reach a lot more. I hope I continue to do it for years to come.
