I started making videos on YouTube way back in 2006, long before YouTube became what it is today.

 

I was inspired by other early adopters to start creating vlogs, to share my voice and connect with other people online. When Google bought YouTube a couple of years later, it suddenly became possible to monetise videos through the partnership program. I was one of the first people to be invited into this program, and soon start earning money from the Ad revenue.

 

Lots of other opportunities started to present themselves as a consequence of my growing audience. I was invited to speak at a social media conference in Helsinki, I attended the first ever VidCon in Los Angeles, started a collab channel with 4 of my online friends, and was invited to co-present a show called Chartjackers which aired on the BBC.

 

I continued making videos until around 2013, before going on a hiatus. Perhaps one day I will make my "comeback". Most of the videos I made back then have now been privatised, but a couple which are still public can be viewed below.
