Whether you have to be online constantly for work or school or if you browse the Web in your spare time, it’s likely that you’ve seen at least a few YouTube videos. YouTube was created in 2005 and has since attracted over a billion users, so there’s no denying its social and cultural impact. People who are experts in a number of fields, such as health and beauty, cooking, lifestyle coaching, and fashion, have made a name for themselves on YouTube. The tutorials these influencers post often gain a huge following, which can result in the substantial advertising revenue for these content creators. Several YouTubers have been able to go from posting tutorials or short videos on their channels to being asked to speak at important events and collaborating with popular brands to produce and promote products.
There are also a number of scripted TV shows on YouTube these days. Some of the shows feature actors who were popular on previous or current television shows. However, some YouTube shows introduce up and coming actors to a wide audience. This is one of the reasons that some people predict that YouTube could take the place of traditional television one day. The shows that are created for YouTube TV work similarly to on-demand TV, since you can start and stop the shows whenever you want, and you’ll get notifications when a new episode is available to watch.
Want to make sure you’re keeping up with the YouTube trend? Here are a few YouTubers who have a substantial following and are changing the way people consume media. Many of these content creators have used this platform as a launching pad for their careers, becoming a voice in their industries and communities.
