Everyday life of video bloggers who earn by flaunting their lives

Rebecca Meldrum puts her breakfast, muesli with berries, at the right angle in front of the camera so that not a single detail of her morning diet remains out of the frame. Then she turns around and takes off her daughter in a tutu — she goes to a dance lesson. The husband, in shorts and a T-shirt, is heading to the gym. And here in the frame is Rebecca again — vacuuming the room and fluffing pillows.

Boring, isn't it? Nevertheless, tens of thousands of people watch this "show" online. Thousands of people subscribe to Rebecca's YouTube channel to watch her life. On social networks, on Instagram and Facebook — 300 thousand people need a daily dose of "household stuff" Meldrums.

28-year—old Rebecca is a vlogger from Aberdeenshire, Scotland. She runs a YouTube channel. Every day she sets up a tripod and a camera to take pictures of her everyday life, then mount and upload to the network. She herself talks about it as a strange habit. But it's profitable. Thanks to the advertisement, Rebecca Lee's husband was able to quit a well-paid job in the oil industry to fully focus on video blogging.

Who knew that someone would look at Mom's ordinary life, and not somewhere in Beverly Hills, but in Aberdeenshire. But one of the fastest growing areas in video blogging is family vlogs. Rebecca does not tell how much she earns from her class. "Video blogging gives us enough to lead a normal life, have a beautiful home, and most importantly, we both stay at home with the children. When I started shooting, no one watched my videos except my mom. I didn't think I would have an audience," says Rebecca.

Today, the entire income of the Meldrum family comes from video blogging. The downside of big earnings is life for show. The more intimate moments in the video, the more views. Rebecca made a video when she gave birth. She made a video when she was telling her two daughters that she was expecting her third child, and when she was arguing with her husband in the store.

So, what do you need to keep a family video blog? It's simple: the appearance of a model, a husband, a child, and preferably several. Then you need to go to visit the Saccone-Jolie family, YouTube stars, to shoot a joint vlog. Jonathan and Anna Saccone-Jolie have almost two million subscribers on YouTube. Is their life really that interesting?

Saccone-Jolie is a family from Ireland. Anna is a typical glamorous lady, and Jonathan, although not exactly Brad Pitt, is quite funny and cute. The video blog apparently makes the family a lot of money because Jonathan drives a Porsche and their children attend a private school. According to the YouTube Analytics Social Blade website, Saccone-Jolie earn 23 thousand pounds on the main site.
