Once upon a time a fashion and beauty enthusiast launched her first blog, after lurking on many beauty sites, writing about bargains she’d purchased, brands she loved, and things that put a smile on her face.
Soon Zoe Sugg, aka Zoella, had accumulated a humble yet significant following of 1,000 eager fans, all hanging on to every word of the teen’s make-up and hair-styling tutorials.
One day she took her voice to YouTube and as each month passed Zoella’s number of followers grew and grew, first surpassing the five-digit mark and then settling firmly within the millions – 7,687,958 to be precise.
