YouTube career
Charlie McDonnell started blogging on YouTube in 2007, in April. He first made his name with a video called How To Get Featured on YouTube. He won the attention of the audience. This was made possible by getting to the main page of British YouTube. The number of people watching videos jumped from 150 to more than 4400 subscribers. And this is just 2 days. In honor of overcoming the numbers of 25 thousand subscribers, our hero asked his audience to come up with a test for him. In a series called Challenge Charlie, he still performs tasks, or rather, tries to cope with them. They are very diverse. For example, one assignment was proposed by Phillip Schofield, a television presenter, as well as his daughter. The bottom line was to dance accompanied by Hoedown Throwdown. Since that time, our hero introduced a significant number of new videos. Among them, the most popular How to be English. As of August 2010, he reached the mark of 500,000 subscribers. The popularity of the programs has reached four million views. And this is a month. Note that 75 percent of the audience are girls. The BBC World Service reported that our hero is one of the most successful authors throughout YouTube’s five-year history.
In 2008, a blogger along with four other YouTube celebrities took part in a project called FiveAwesomeGuys. By 2011, our hero reached a million subscribers on YouTube and stepped over that line. He is the first resident of the UK to succeed. In 2013, Charlie set out to shoot five short films. 2014, October 30, the last of them was uploaded to the official channel of our hero. This man also recorded several musical works with the group.
