hello cockers yes i'm here at the bbc hq in london to meet youtube superstar saffron barker she's
got three million subscribers cockers and she's going to give me a fantastic top tips to becoming
a lifestyle vlogger we're talking beauty fun and fashion oh i feel fashionable enough myself cocker
i've been known to wear a high heel boot in me time there we go let's go meet her cockers
this is actually over here
hello kaka how did you start vlogging and how old were you so i started when i was 15.
oh yeah yeah i was actually on holiday with my family and i just basically started to
vlog um i used my mom's phone at the time because she had a better phone than i did
um and i used a selfie stick do you remember though it was a selfie stick i do remember those
yeah yeah i love a stick me i always get someone to throw it from and i go and bring it back
and like a stick yeah did it play fetch a little bit different to a selfie stick
but how old are you now i'm 18. you've been vlogging for 13 years in dog years
uh i think yeah i'm gonna go with that it's about right about three years in real life human years
so why are you so good you tell me why am i so good because you get to work with top-notch
people like me and i am dead handsome and that's why you're so good that is one of the many reasons
you know the reason i think i don't want to say the reason i think i'm good but the reason i think
i've been successful is because i'm just relatable to teenagers pretty much what video was your big
break no see that's the thing i actually didn't have one so a lot of my friends they had like a
viral video that never really happened to me so my channel just kind of grew more like word of mouth
so um i know you know at the time it was annoying so i was like why do i not have a video that's
just gone viral but at the same time it's really nice because these people actually want to see my
videos it's not just saying it's just popped up and they've watched it once that's a good thing
and it's you've got a slow burn from there exactly all the way over all the way all the way over yeah
well i wanted a viral thing but i again i went to the clinic and they gave me some cream for it no
now cocker what's the difference between instagram and youtube as you're dead popular on both
oh thank you and don't just say the spelling and make a cheap joke
like i would have done the difference is obviously on youtube we upload videos that we do now
getting really close there yeah i occasionally download things
there's one exactly download things watch movies on instagram you can't do well you can
upload videos but they can only be liquor ones seconds long the little ones yeah so it's more
just like you know posting we definitely get a selfie we're supposed to pick together right
if we do a selfie can we post it on the instagram yeah because you can't post it on youtube so yeah
we can't can you stupid youtube you're behind the time son you're behind the times youtube
how many subs stroke views have you had in your time uh so i could i honestly could not tell you
the views uh i would say subs it's more than ten in it i have two million on one and nearly one
million on the other so three mill two million in one well i'm the one and one of them yeah
i'm the one on your youtube one and then a million on instagram no a million on my other youtube
channel as well but oh whoa yeah to you but why don't you pull the numbers cocker you could pool
them and get a load of old money out of them well the thing is they're like completely well
they're not completely different but they're just like different channels so ones like uh comedy
fashion lifestyle whatever like and it's based on a certain topic and then the other channel is just
like my daily life and that's vlogging so some people aren't interested in my daily life i don't
know why what's wrong with you people what's wrong with you i'll be interested more in saffron's life
