- [Interviewer] You have how many followers?
- On Vine? - [Interviewer] Yeah.
- I have 1.3 million.
- [Man] That's kind of famous, right?
- [Interviewer] Yeah, I would say that's famous.
- I mean, yeah.
("Take It On" by Warner/Chappell Production Music)
- I'm Marissa Mayne.
- I'm Joey.
- I'm Paige.
- And we're in Mentor, Ohio.
- No. (laughing)
- My definition of being famous would be
just having a good following.
Being kinda popular,
whether you're popular in physical life,
or in the cyber world.
This is basically like my condo.
They know me because I'm really loud
and everything echoes!
Like it bounces off the walls.
So, yeah, pretty much everyone knows me.
Do it first. Ready?
Ready? One, two, three. (loud wheezing)
Good one, and then I'll try it.
(loud wheezing) (laughs)
- One, two, three. (loud wheezing)
(laughing)
- [Marissa] (laughing) Oh my god!
You can drag clips and you can crop clips,
and you can move these ones over,
and then you add it to a channel,
which is comedy,
and then you post it.
(simultaneous loud wheezing)
Someone was like, "What the fuck?"
and then someone was like,
"I love this for some sort of reason." (laughing)
Sometimes if it's like a good vine,
it'll get within the 50 minutes cycle,
it'll get like 500 likes,
and then if it gets like 2,000
within an hour or two,
then that means it's doing kinda really good,
for me it is.
I'm wearing two socks.
I never wear matching socks.
You caught me on a day where
I bought a fresh pack of socks,
but I do have cool socks underneath them.
They have kiwis.
I've been doing vine for about two years,
in May it'll be two years.
- [Interviewer] How did this get started?
- I made a video mouthing sounds
to Nicki Minaj's song,
and it went viral,
and then I just kept making videos,
and I just went, and I just grew really fast.
I like Vine because it's just quick.
If I have something in my head, I can just post it.
I had no intention of being famous on Vine.
I just made a couple Vines
and then the one that did go viral,
it had a whole bunch of likes,
and then I made more,
and then I just kept getting a ton of followers.
Yeah, there's a couple ways
you can make money off Vine.
You can do promotions for companies.
You can do product placements.
I do a side job.
I work with special needs adults,
so I do that and I do Vine,
but Vine is where most of my income comes from.
People on Vine, someone will be like, "You're fat,"
and then these people will be like,
"Don't touch them or I'll beat your ass,"
and then people will be like,
"Don't touch them," or something like that,
and then he'll be like,
"You're just jealous. You're a hater,"
and then just a whole bunch of people
just commenting back at that person.
So hater comments are just from people
trying to get attention, or trying to get followers,
or people who just are naturally hateful in general,
like Linda.
- I know you see all of this.
My hater layer
keeps the haters out and the warmth in.
- (laughs) That's how I feel about my haters.
(laughs) I don't care. They make me fabulous.
Be yourself.
Just do what makes you happy
and don't try be anything
that you aren't because
it's a waste of time and it's not worth it.
So if you're trying to be famous
on any kind of social platform,
just be yourself.
It's so awkward when people play your Vines around you
and you have to hear your voice and then it's just so
(puking sound)
