TheHill88 And Caitlin Hill’s Story

Monday, May 12th, 2008

I sat down with YouTube fame, Caitlin Hill. She is an actress, dancer, video blogger, blogger and is looking to get more involved with live video. I asked Caitlin to explain some of her greatest challenges. She says:

“The challenges that one faces when they are a video blogger is remaining true to themselves. There is so much criticism and when you are also editing yourself you get to see a side of you that you have never seen, and you become highly critical of yourself. You also start to change yourself to fit what the audience likes OR you change yourself to go against what the audience likes. It can shatter confidence and increase self-doubt.

The hardest thing I face now, is just getting back to basics and also just getting off my butt and making the videos I’ve been dreaming about for years. That’s the problem, I’m too lazy. Another thing that is hard is keeping up with it all. The Internet is 24/7, as we all know, and as soon as you close your eyes, your whole digital world can change. It’s not a very stable environment to grow up in ; )”

That was excellent. Caitlin’s videos are entertaining but it’s her perspective and instinct with media that impresses me most.

How did this girl get internet “famous,” in how does she make money doing it?

that was awesome, I started to make videos thnx to people like Caitlin and Brooke and Mememolly and charlieissocoollike and…(etc)
Now I have over 4.000 subs, which is a lot for a spanish speaker, since all this vlog thing has started this year…
and I already identify myself with Caitlin!! youtube is a crazy world, creazier than what I though at first. Once you are in is hard to get out of there, neither take a rest or something, cuz people is expecting more from you.
And seems like people want to see crazy girls being dumb, cuz that’s what they want from me too…and of course I give that to them, but also I go against them, as caitlin said, cuz after a year playing a role you get tired of it and you want to change, and that’s exactly what I’m trying to do ^^
Sorry for the long reply…
See ya!
