Twenty-three-year-old Jessii Vee from Ontario, Canada, turns her life into
her work, six days a week. ‘I spend all of Sunday having 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 her when 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 to see 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 online are 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.
Jessii has some advice about what kind of videos to make. ‘Be yourself.
Don’t change to try to make people like you. They will love YOU! When I first
started YouTube, I wanted to look good and do things in ways that people would
like. In my old videos, I don’t look comfortable because I'm not being myself. But
in my videos now, 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 inspire people. 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!’
