Vloggers are now one of the most influential groups of people on the planet.

Telling stories about our lives is a basic human instinct as is the need to relate to other people, something we have done since we sat around the camp fire as cavemen and women. The proliferation of online video provides a platform to bring that experience online like never before.

It is ten years since Youtube was launched and the increasingly availability of internet and cheap technology meant making and uploading video became widely accessible and easy to do - that's where Vlogging was born.
Video creators began uploading anything from the insane to the mundane, nothing was off limits. After four years Youtube introduced advertising, making it possible to earn big money from both shared revenue and endorsements. This revenue stream fuelled the world of the superstar Vloggers and allowed them to soar in popularity and influence amongst their demographic.

Today the crème de la crème of Vloggers have viewing figures that media broadcasters can only dream of. They have a profound impact of the life of their viewers and the power to influence anything from purchase designs to fashions.
