SimplyYue: Simply An Awesome Upcoming Asian YouTuber.

Simply Thrive:

     Following your dreams is no easy task. Many people stick to their secured jobs to ensure that their future is intact. It's not a bad thing. Having a secured job helps one survive through life with less worry on achieving access to basic and necessary resources. However, some people want to do more than just survive; they want to thrive. SimplyYue is simply doing that. She took the risk of doing YouTube full-time by quitting her 9-to-5 job which she claims wasn't making her happy.

Link to video introducing her channel and quitting her corporate job:


 Personally speaking, she made the right choice. Her material so far is inspiring, funny, dramatic, and original.


Inspiring Her Viewers:

         As stated earlier, she tells her subscribers that she quit her job to do YouTube full-time. She vlogs on giving advice and reflection on the value of doing so even though it requires one to get out of one's comfort zone. She applies this philosophy in other areas of her life as well. Here's a link to the video where she covers this subject:

Story Telling:

          Her funny and dramatic short skitz are simply just good. The stories that are portrayed are signs that she has the potential to go big on the YouTube scene. Here's one of her short skits that portrays a story of what one goes through after a break up. The short skit was inspired by one of Wong Fu Productions short skit videos.

Underrated:

             Simply Yue connects with her viewers with a vibe that is light-hearted, friendly, and inspiring. Her stories tend to end with a twist which make them original. Sadly, her work is currently underrated. Right now, her channel's status has 5,605 subscribers and a total of 364,216 views. She's been in the game for almost 2 years: July 31, 2013. Check out her channel so you can laugh, cry, and be inspired.

       And one last thing: she loves food so don't be surprised when you see her eating in most of her videos.

YouTube Identity: A Head's Up For New, Upcoming YouTubers.

       YouTuber, crabstickz, uploaded a video a few months back venting out his issue of what it means to be a YouTuber nowadays. He pointed out the struggle to be relevant is more challenging as more YouTubers create content that are very professional and sophisticated. Feeling a loss of not connecting with his audience was another challenge that was pointed out.

It seemed like crabstickz felt isolated in facing these challenges as a YouTuber. However, several YouTubers reached out to him by making response videos that reflect these challenges with their perspectives.
