The 18 year old who is making millions just from posting her shopping videos on YouTube
The northern California teen is turning her hobby into a million dollar phenomenon before she's even moved out of her parents' house – and it's all thanks to YouTube.
"Hi. I'm Bethany. I'm a Youtuber," she writes on one of her many social media accounts. "My viewers are my besties and I love them bunches!" And those followers love her back – all five million of them.
Bethany is the queen bee of a craze called "haul videos," and they're exactly what they sound like they are. Girls record a play-by-play of their shopping mall "hauls" and then post them for the world to see on YouTube.
Bethany's Instagram account features selfies, clothing and her meticulously decorated bedroom. She has over 2 million followers – more than Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire, Glamour, and Cosmo combined –
and she so popular that teen-centric mall staple Aeropostale has branded an entire line of clothes and jewelry with her name.
Despite her growing success, Mota is still largely an online celebrity, as opposed to a red-carpet walking source of magazine gossip.
