Youtube for Teens

Ingrid Nilson is a YouTube personality (formerly going by the moniker MissGlamorazzi) with over 4 million subscribers to her channel. Her videos though not specifically geared towards teens is a good channel for teen girls. Her videos are mainly marketed to young women. She covers topics such as make up (including tutorials on how to do a certain look and what are known as haul videos which is a video showing of recent purchases), style, food, travel, and life. Every so often there is a video that may not be suitable for teens (most recently her video of how to deal with a hangover), but for the most part her videos are G rated.

Ingrid has a bubbly upbeat personality that does not come across as fake in her videos. She appears genuine and authentic, and teens could easily relate to her. Some of her videos are more serious than others. This year she was able to participate in YouTube interviews of President Obama. She, along with several other YouTube personalities, were given the opportunity to visit the White House and speak with the President regarding issues they were concerned about. Ingrid took this time to discuss cancer treatments,  why 40 states tax feminine hygiene products, and LGBT issues. This last one is particularly close to her, as she took the opportunity to come out in one of her videos, several years after creating her channel. This video has almost 15 million views.



As far as YouTube personalities are concerned, Ingrid Nilson seems more down to earth and relatable than some. She is not overly pushy regarding products she may be sponsored by, she expresses the importance of being ones self, and she has concerns about issues just like any other person. Teens could do a lot worse on YouTube than watching Ingrid Nilson.
