What I learned from Zoella the youtube star

Zoella is one of the most famous and successful blogger and vlogger who counts 10 million subscribers on her Youtube Channel Zoella , 7,3 m followers on Instagram and her blog counts nearly 1 million views for month . She’s launched her beauty line Zoella Beauty and she’s the author of the best seller novel Girl Online .

Zoella, real name Zoe Sugg, just 26 and she’s absolutely a source of inspiration for all the girls who want to become a webstar like her .

This is what I learned from Zoella the youtube star who has grown a business starting from her blog and youtube channel :

At the beginning is not easy for anyone

If you may think that she’s became successful overnight you’re not right . She started her blog in 2009 from her kitchen table with no end goal . She didn’t have a certain number that she wanted to reach, or certain number of overall views, she just wanted to make videos she enjoyed that could entertain and add something of value to someone’s day whether that was a smile, some reassurance or a recommendation for a new lipstick.  Her first video was about 60 things in her bedroom for a glimpse into her life. Her following grew slowly. She admits on her blog to having gained just three followers in two weeks .

Keep going and never stop believing in yourself

You may be scary at the beginning, your shyness may stop or you could feel like you’re doing everything wrong with your blog or youtube channel because no-one is following you but don’t give up, keep going and never stop believing in yourself . If you really love what you do at the end the hard work and your passion will pay off.

Every time I hit a milestone, I’m reminded that if you want something and you work hard at it, but more importantly if you love it with every bone in your body, it will all work out in the end and I’m so glad I kept going when I wasn’t sure what I was doing or where this was going.

It’s okay to have bad days

Her life can seem pretty perfect but Zoella has been open with the fact she suffers from anxiety. She has posted Q&A videos on her YouTube channel explaining the condition, even filming herself in the middle of a panic attack.

 A lot of young people look at me and think, ‘She has the perfect life: she’s got the boyfriend, the house, the dog, the book, the successful YouTube channel.” She continues, “Not everything is perfect. Sometimes I have days where I don’t want to leave my bed or I’ll have multiple panic attacks.”

What do you think about?
