The Meteoric Rise to Stardom
Rachel created her YouTube account in 2006, but didn’t upload or share much. She wasn’t quite active on the site and didn’t take YouTube seriously until she posted a video in 2013 titled ‘You Know What Pisses Me Off?’ which turned into a series where she complains of regular things people do that annoy her. This got very popular and attracted a huge number of subscribers. She began posting these videos every Tuesday, until she put an end to the series in 2015. Rachel began three other series too. In 2014, she uploaded her first ‘Rachel’s Room’ video. In this series she answers questions of her fans. She also cleverly began something different, by initiating ‘Learning Sundays’ where she teaches a topic that has been suggested by her fans, ranging from laundry to sex education. Her ‘Random Tuesday/Thursday’ videos include anything that comes to her mind that she can’t fit into her regular series. She has also started posting regular vlogs on her second channel and starred in her sister’s film ‘Miranda Sings: Selphelf’ in 2015.
