Wengie

Wengie was initially just that regular corporate employee who had a routine 9 to 5 job and earned a handsome six figures salary. She occasionally used to blog a little bit to let out her creative juices, but nothing for monetary purposes. However, to make a mark for herself in the world of videos was her dream that she just couldn’t ignore. On 9 September 2010, Wengie joined YouTube and said a forever good-bye to her 9 to 5 job. She was serious about video making and within a short span of time, reached over a million subscribers. She also has two other channels called, ‘wengieofficial’ and ‘LifeOfWengie’ that also has a huge number of followers. She says, “When I first started, I would have imagined hitting a million subscribers as being a sublime and surreal feeling. But it happened much like a birthday: you’re extremely excited, but on the actual day, you feel pretty much the same as you did yesterday”. She loves her fans and doesn’t miss a single opportunity to let them know that. She personally feels that the day she quit her career to make a living on YouTube was the biggest decision of her life.

Wengie is a very level headed girl, who has absolutely no airs about herself. She feels the entire question of trying to be special has been “overrated”. In the words of this phenomenal YouTuber, “My first goal for my channel is to provide my audience with the best experience I can possibly give them — whether it be entertainment, education, or inspiration. That comes before my need to be unique or perhaps it does make me unique”. She is always trying to offer something new to her audience and loves to be at the top of the game always.

Wengie is a typical girl of the 21st century whose life revolves around shopping and all the latest beauty products. She will happily live on instant noodles just so that she can buy the latest handbags and the new products in the market. Wengie, too has a lot to say about her spendthrift attitude, she says that she has “spent over 10k in shoes in one month and wore $2 dresses”. Even though she owns one of the most subscribed channels in Australia, she has no airs about herself and still has dreams of an ordinary girl.
