Get Rich Blogging. Zoe Griffin
has 205,000 subscribers to her YouTube channel Grace F Victory (youtube.com/UglyFaceOfBeauty). In her videos, she talks frankly about her battles with mental health and eating disorders, and a vlog about her treatment in a psychiatric ward received more than 250,000 views.
She says: ‘It’s important to showcase the other side of you. Viewers like to see how your life is. So, if you feel like you want to cry, then cry. If you’re having a bad day, then show that you’re having a bad day.
‘They say that the two most important days in your life are when you’re born and when you realise why. One day, I had an email from a lady whose daughter was in hospital on her deathbed. She had anorexia. That lady wrote to me and said I’d saved her daughter’s life, and that her daughter was watching my videos and getting better and slowly gaining weight. That’s the day I realised why I’m here, and it is to help people and change people’s views.’
CASE STUDY: BECKY SHEERAN, TALKBECKYTALK
Becky quit her job as a trainee BBC TV presenter to focus on YouTube full-time. Her YouTube channel TalkBeckyTalk (youtube.com/TalkBeckyTalk) has more than 160,000 subscribers. She debated whether or not to cover in her vlogs the subject of her father’s sudden death, but found being honest with her audience helped her cope.
She says: ‘I sat in front of the camera and talked. The support I got was incredible. My viewers got me through the hardest months of my life. We had thousands and thousands of letters and emails of support every single day. It got to the point where I walked along the street and someone would say, “I watched one of your videos and I want to give you a hug because of your dad.” It was so emotional to go through that with them.’
Don’t throw away your script once you’ve finished filming. It will speed up the editing process if you have the script to hand when you’re working out which scenes to cut, because you’ll have written down the most important things. If something’s not on your script, cut it out to Keep It Short and Simple. K.I.S.S.
