The October 2014 issue of Seventeen magazine is doing a “first”: it’s ALL Youtube! Youtube star Bethany Mota is a fitting cover girl, isn’t she? Even if you don’t spend a lot of time on Youtube, you’re going to be seeing a lot more of Bethany: she’s competing on the upcoming season of ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ This is the first time a Youtube personality has covered a national magazine, so congrats to Bethany! RELATED: Here are the contestants for ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season 19!
Here are some quotes from Bethany’s interview with Seventeen.
How being bullied inspired Bethany Mota to start filming beauty videos when she was 13:
“It was so cool seeing girls being positive and spreading happiness. At first, I made beauty videos that were like everyone else’s – I’d try to act perfect. But then I realized it might be more fun if I was just myself. So I showed my silly side and kept in the bloopers. I liked those videos way more, and people appreciated that realness.”
What it’s been like to grow up on YouTube:
“I think it’s taught me to be a lot more self-motivated and has taught me how to encourage myself and not rely on a teacher or a boss telling me what to do. I’m my own boss. My biggest thing to overcome has been not being afraid to be different. It’s safer to do what everyone else is doing, but it pays off way more to be yourself.”
Her advice for other girls who are trying to find their place in the world:
“You have to be your own motivator! A lot of teens say they’re bored. Before I got on YouTube, I’d say the same thing. But there is always something you can be doing. If YouTube isn’t your thing, maybe it’s a sport or something else you’re good at. There’s always something you can be the best at – you just have to look for it.”
In addition to Bethany, 30 YouTube stars are featured throughout the issue and combined they garner an astounding 65 million YouTube views per month. Read all about it in the October issue of Seventeen, which hits newsstands on September 16th!
