Every year, YouTube video hosting is replenished with millions of video bloggers, hungry for fame and stable income. Sources of inspiration for the “new arrivals” are the stories of those who managed to win the hearts of numerous spectators, make a name for themselves, earn money, gaining the popularity and love of the people.
Katya Klap is one of the venerable YouTube stars whose successful career is worthy of envy and admiration. The young video blogger is called the “Goddess of YouTube”, she is adored by millions of fans, competitors and ill-wishers throw mud, her name is on the lips of many teenagers, her biography is filled with many conflicting rumors and unflattering reviews. So who is Katya Klap: a bright, outstanding personality or an infantile clown girl?
YouTube Goddess First Steps
Kate Klep (Kate Clapp) was born on May 19, 1993 in the city of Moscow. The girl's father is a mechanic, mother is an interior designer. The future star studied at Moscow Secondary School No. 1122. As a schoolgirl, the girl kept a print blog, was fond of photographing and filming, studied the history and ways of earning on YouTube. Encouraged by the successes of famous bloggers, Katya Klep (real name is Ekaterina Trofimova) decided to create her own channel and started developing the future video blog.
In 2010, a 16-year-old girl made her dream a reality by filming the first video for a couple with a girlfriend called the “One-Liter Mouse”. The first pancake, of course, came out lumpy - the video turned out to be uninteresting and meaningless. But the purposeful Katya stubbornly moved forward, continuing to upload on YouTube one video after another, which gradually began to gain huge momentum in popularity.
Deserved success and glory
It is unlikely that now among teenagers and youth there is a man who does not know who Katya Klap is. Of course, her name is familiar to many, but the biography of the young star of Runet is not known to everyone. Comedy sketches, vlogs (videos), girl’s video diaries are filled with positive emotions, sparkling jokes, humorous thoughts and Katya’s ridiculous antics.
At first, the usual vlog with the ordinary clowning of two girls, Kate Klap then turned into an author's sketch show. A talented girl not only mimics celebrities and discusses everything that interests young people (reviews of books, films, confidential conversations, tips, pictures of her growing up, traveling, etc.), but also transforms into various images, reads rap and plays out scenes. Videos are released once a week and are counted in millions of views. The well-known blogger Katya Klep is engaged in the development of the script, the execution of roles, the editing and directing of the videos herself, professionally changing the frames, adding rhythm and superimposing sound.
Channels
Katya currently has two channels: FoggyDisaster and TheKateClapp. The main channel - FoggyDisaster - was recorded on August 20, 2008 and contains comedy sketches, musical parodies of stars, movie and book reviews, interactive games, shots from one's own life, generously seasoned with humor, enthusiasm and positiveness, which have an abundance of an extraordinary YouTube star in abundance. The channel has more than 1 million subscribers and about 70 million views.
The second channel - TheKateClapp - was created on December 6, 2010 and collected in July 2014 over 1 million 600 thousand subscribers and 139 million views. Here, Katya uploads a video about her travels, trips to various events, answers fans' questions and fulfills their requests and wishes (more on this below).
A distinctive feature of the girl’s videos is her benevolence, optimism, love for people, self-irony and modesty. Despite the resounding success in such a young age, Katya managed to retain the best features. In each video, she tries to attach a certain meaning: humanity, respect for elders, love for animals, issues of self-realization.
And so the answer to the question "Who is Katya Klep?" unequivocal: this is a multifaceted, talented person, eager to make the world a little better by promoting a good mood and true human values. This explains its huge popularity.
Separately about the sketch show "Call Accepted"
One of the most interesting creative directions for the video blogger is the Call Accepted segment. The essence of the issue is that the girl fulfills the strange and sometimes ridiculous requests of her subscribers: eats lemons, hot peppers, applies makeup without a mirror, paints herself with her eyes closed, wraps herself in a carpet, chews a box of chewing gum, and so on. Moreover, she performs all these actions with her usual enthusiasm and positive, not forgetting to finish the next videos with her favorite phrase: “Remain as positive and creative, all the best for you!”
How much does Kate Clapp earn?
Katie's profile indicates that she is a professional YouTube partner. It follows that the girl does not just shoot videos, but also makes good money on them, receiving regular deductions from video hosting. Many fans of the star are interested in how much Katya Klap earns, a photo of which is increasingly flashed on the covers of glossy fashion magazines and on the Internet?
According to some reports, the income of the “Goddess YouTube” varies from 5 to 40 thousand dollars a month, and this is the income from only two channels on YouTube, not counting the accounts on Twitter and Contact. Katya receives many offers to advertise this or that product, but she still refuses, explaining this by the fact that she perceives blogging as a hobby rather than a job. Now the girl is studying at the Institute of Contemporary Art at the faculty of directing, dreams of taking a selfie with Putin and becoming an architect.
Thus, each YouTube user has the right to answer in his own way the question of who Katya Klap is: a multifaceted, creative personality aimed at making the world brighter, more fun and positive or an infantile humorist clogging the Internet? In any case, the young star deserves a storm of applause and admiration for her having reached incredible heights in her favorite business at age 21, became famous throughout Runet and managed to overcome teenage complexes, creating one of the most popular and viewed video blogs.
