 by: Hanis Sophia 

Social capital has become a major thought for numerous individuals, indeed for those of us who don’t have plans to become internet sensations.

Even when our social media supporters comprise totally of companions and family, it feels great to share extraordinary minutes and some of the time even the more unremarkable angles of daily life.

But beginning an online brand and making it your calling could be a different story totally. In the event that you’ve ever tried to induce a YouTube channel going, at that point you as of now know precisely how troublesome it can be.

There could be a gigantic sum of competition on social media stages like YouTube and Instagram, so it’s even more noteworthy when a really unique and interesting substance maker rises over the shred and finds victory.

Anncy Twinkle created her own YouTube channel that has since gotten to be fiercely well known, which popularity expands to her Instagram page as well. 

 

 Twinkle covers cosmetics, skincare, and beauty tips, as well as making vlog-style posts approximately more personal themes.

With about 700,000 supporters on YouTube and around 60,000,000 add up to sees, it’s difficult for a watcher to assume Twinkle as being anything other than amazingly successful.

 

In an interview with AV Artvoice, Anncy Twinkle shares about her channels and what she feels regarding her fame. 

 

 What has it been like to create a community of followers and fans? Did you expect your channel would take off so quickly? 

 

 It’s unquestionably exceptionally challenging to construct a community beginning from zero endorsers. It felt like until the end of time and I’m still getting started.

I thought it would take me approximately a decade to hit 100,000 supporters. The secret to building a community on social media implies being genuine continuously and creating the leading content you can consistently. It’s the best feeling to have a group of individuals who really cherish and watch you for who you are.

Sometimes I truly think around how this is my life right now. I can be crying, ranting, and talking about my broken toe and fans comment “We’re here for you.” Crazy, right? Everybody talks to me like I’m their best friend and I would never need to alter that. I truly think that I have the most excellent audience, and some of the time my comment segment is way more engaging than my own content.

 

People continuously message me and tell me that  my content helped them go through a bad day. Little did they know that their comments make my whole week.  However, it definitely gets harder to please half a million people every day. With each video you make, you set the bar higher. My channel blew up right after I wrapped up university. I remember thinking, “Wow, 70,000 endorsers? There’s no way I can depend on that, I need to find a 9-to-5 job.”

 

Just as I was considering that, my Worst Reviewed video blew up. In a matter of three to four days, my views went from six to 7,000,000. I did not anticipate any of this to happen overnight. I still keep in mind looking at my notifications that day, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

 

As someone who reports on the beauty sector, do you feel there are certain expectations for your content and the way you present yourself? Have these expectations ever been constricting? 

I adore making different makeup looks so I don’t think I’m ever aiming to completely stop doing tutorials on my channel. However, I need to say that the makeup industry on YouTube can be depleting and debilitating since it can get muddled very quickly.

It’s truly peculiar to me how people now and then ask influencers to be true, more genuine, less filtered but at the same time once you appear your genuine self, people want to alter you. I have friends who do anything they want, they get fillers and Botox and live their best life, and they get inconsiderate and cruel comments every single day.

 

On the other hand, I’m scared of needles and blood. I watch this huge YouTuber the other day conversing about having tiny lips and how people inquire her to induce filters because her lips were non-existent. There’s no way you can win! Within the beauty industry, everybody is really serious, you wish to have the culminate lined lips, perfect eyeliner, perfect blush, perfect blended contour and you would like to see your best each single day, which is something I can never live up to.

 

 That’s why I choose to stay away from only doing makeup tutorials. I like to add a little bit of a Q and A and story time to make it more light and lively. People always look up to influencers to address things that happen worldwide which is completely insane to me. People expect more from influencers than their political leaders. We can not be the voice for every single movement, it’s pretty irresponsible to expect that.

 

 Have you enjoyed your experiences working directly with brands? 

I absolutely love working with brands. A lot of times I get messages from fans who own small businesses and ask for a little shout out, and I love helping them out when I can! 

The very first brand that reached out to me was WUNDER2BROW, they were the first brand to send me a free PR card when I had little to no subscribers. I think I had almost 4,000 followers on Instagram and it was a big deal to me back then. I was just starting off my channel and felt like it wasn’t going anywhere. When I was just about to give up, I received an email from them and still remember that moment to this day. I screamed so loud in my house and was super happy about it, I couldn’t sleep! 

Has your approach to making videos changed at all since you first started?

Oh wow, definitely. If you watch my older videos, you can see how nervous I was and how I wasn’t used to talking in front of the camera. I was even shy to share my videos online and promote them. So, I would just post them on my story saying “Hey guys if you want you can watch it,” and that’s how I used to promote my videos. 

I wasn’t confident enough and I don’t really think that was the real Anncy. Sometimes I would say inappropriate things and was very sarcastic in my videos. I would edit those parts out because I felt like I needed to follow this perfect YouTube personality and be nice, be cool, be a lady, not cussing, and follow this cookie-cutter personality. 

I pretended to be somebody that I wasn’t and it got really exhausting. Some days I’d slip up and my real personality would sneak through. So I stopped pretending and the real Anncy came through after a little over 100,000 subscribers. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the fake Anncy. 

How did you first get the idea for the Worst Reviewed/Best Reviewed series?

I remember my friend and I were watching YouTube videos and in my recommended box I saw this girl who made a video all about the worst salon she visited and how it was the worst experience of her life. 

It was really funny to watch and it was a very interesting concept. She went by herself and she got this whole makeover done. I remember looking at my friend and I told her I wanted to do this but that I wasn’t confident enough to do it by myself. She said she would come along, and I was super excited to film it. 

But after a few days, she told me she was super busy, so luckily I had another friend who wanted to hang out that day so I decided to pick her up instead and then we headed to the salon. The rest is history. 

What is your favorite aspect of being a content creator?

My favorite part about being a content creator is the fact that I can share everything and anything I want, including the ups and the downs. I love talking to an audience and seeing this more as a hobby than a job so it’s the best feeling to generate income from something you actually enjoy. It’s never ” Ugh I have to film a YouTube video now.” It’s more like, “oh my god I literally cannot wait to film this and edit it once I’m back home!” I would not change it for the world. I’m also extremely thankful for my super amazing audience! They make me crack up feel so supported.

Has your channel given you the opportunity to meet or talk to other creators and YouTubers?

Fun story time: I used to watch this YouTuber named Lailli Mirza and her sister Alizey, the only funny and interesting YouTubers back in the day who were from Dubai that I could relate to. They drove past the same street that I drove through and went to the same mall that I went to. 

They also have the same opinions as me about everything! I absolutely loved her channel and watched it religiously every single day. I remember she was vlogging open in public and I thought to myself, “How is she that confident?” 

That same day I looked at my friend and told her, if she can vlog in public, I can too! So the next day, I purchased a camera. Two years later, I’m actually close friends with her and we meet every other day to film content and help each other grow. This is still so unreal. I have so many other internet friends and this really has made it the best job in the world.
