YouTube CelebrityTheCommon Factors of Successful YouTuber ChannelsThe YouTube Celebrity examines some of the top YouTube channels and their common methods of creation and communication. In this project I created and posted several videos and blogs discussing some common factors of success, using real world examples and the theory behind the medium and the people. I argue that successful YouTubers use a deliberate presentation as an amateur creator in order to gain authenticity. I use my experimental creation of videos and digital discussion of these ideas to develop my argument as well as applicable literature from relevant fields.autRiley, Megan NicolethsHalavais, AlexanderdgcScott, SuzannectbBarrett, The Honors CollegectbSchool of Letters and SciencesctbSchool of Politics and Global Studiesenghttps://hdl.handle.net/2286/R.I.2290214 pages115093930571628716197137041In Copyright2014-05Amateur Skillsdigital mediaYouTubeDigital VideosInternetDigital Literacy
