You've probably heard of Bethany Mota, Miranda Sings, and Tyler Oakley, but the YouTube universe doesn't end there! There are thousands of channels from beauty gurus to musicians to comedians, which pretty much guarantees you'll find something you'll like. Here are ten YouTubers under one-million subscribers who you should definitely check out.
1. Studyign
Studyign is an absolute must-watch channel for students. Although videos are made by a high school senior, much of the advice given on this channel is applicable to college students as well. The creator of this channel provides you with a wide variety of tips when it comes to studying, making it pretty likely you'll find something that fits your study style. In addition, there are multiple videos on staying organized in general, with planners and bullet journals!
2. Kati Morton
Kati's channel is vastly different from other channels I watch in terms of content, but I am so glad I came across it. Kati Morton is a licensed therapist who creates videos about mental illness. Topics discussed include eating disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety, on top of many more. Kati provides information as to what these mental illnesses actually are, debunking myths that we are too often confronted with when it comes to these topics. She also gives advice on how to deal with and seek help with issues you or someone you love may be facing.
3. Kevin and Lill
How this channel doesn't have ten million subscribers is mind-boggling to me. It's my favorite channel ever, along with Miranda Sings. This channel features Kevin, a teenage boy, and his Grandma Lill.. Kevin often introduces Lill to many current trends and both add their hilarious commentary. These videos never fail to make me (literally) laugh out loud.
4. Ella Berman
Ella is basically Canada's sweetheart. This year, she captured the attention of Colleen Ballinger (the wonderful human behind Miranda Sings), by writing a song for her. Her YouTube channel showcases both covers and original songs. Since then, she has branched off into making other videos as well. She very often discusses life in general, and does so in the most beautiful and eloquent way. Although she is very real and discusses having hard times, she always leaves her audience feeling optimistic and hopeful. She has inspired me so much, and I'm sure she will leave you feeling the same way!
5. Caito Potatoe
Caito Potatoe is basically everything I've ever wanted to be. She's feisty, intelligent, and her eyebrows are literally perfect. Her channel is the most wonderful mix of fabulous makeup tutorials and hilarious rants. You'll instantly wish she was your best friend after just one video.
6. Lizzie Velasquez
Lizzie Velasquez is a beautiful and incredibly strong woman. After years of receiving hate from strangers online, Lizzie has used her voice to inspire others. She encourages everyone to believe in themselves, be kind, and realize that we are all beautiful. Her bright personality and wonderful spirit are sure to make your day instantly. Lizzie uses her channel to spread her message of self-love as well as showcasing her day-to-day life!
7. Kory DeSoto
Words cannot describe how much I adore Kory DeSoto. He never fails to brighten my mood through his sassy honesty and hilarious commentary on a variety of topics. He is incredibly creative with his original video ideas and comedy, and is well on his way to becoming a top YouTuber.
8. Sydneyrella
Ladies and gents, you're looking at the next big thing when it comes to beauty gurus. Sydney is a breath of fresh air as she's not only a fantastic makeup artist, but also an incredibly authentic and fierce human being. From clothing hauls to makeup tutorials, Sydney is your go-to girl for fashion and beauty advice. Her makeup skills are unlike any I've ever seen before. You'll instantly connect with her as she expresses herself through what she's passionate about.
9. Josh Sundquist
Josh is the definition of incredible. After a battle with cancer, in which he lost one of his legs, Josh decided to showcase his wisdom and insight to the world by being a motivational speaker. He encourages his viewers to stay strong and never give up in any situation. In addition, he has this wonderful positive energy and excitement for life. He is a friend to all and continuously speaks up for wonderful causes. Not to mention, he always has the best Halloween costumes.
10. Flula
Words cannot describe the amazingness that is Flula Borg. Flula is a German DJ, musician and actor, among other talents. He is not only talented, but also a great human being. His wonderfully zany and quirky personality will make you fall in love with him instantly. Through his channel, we get an insight to his brilliant, exciting mind. If you need someone to put a smile on your face, Flula will definitely get the job done.
