Bethany Mota is one of four finalists on Dancing With the Stars season 19 and new fans want to know more about her.
Bethany, 19, is best known for her YouTube videos. She vaulted to fame on the platform by imparting advice on hair styles, makeup, fashion, and other projects.
“I hope that my channel can put a smile on your face and give you some cool ideas. So join in and be a part of the family!” she says on her profile.
Bethany revealed during Dancing With the Stars that she struggled with being bullied when she was younger and started the channel as a way to gain confidence and connect with others.
The type of channel is known as video blogging, or vlogs, although more specifically “haul videos.”
“In this YouTube genre, women — almost always women — go shopping and then discuss their latest ‘hauls’ for the camera. It’s really as simple as that. No stylists, no editors, no models stomping down the runway: Just a kid in her room with a pile of shopping bags,” noted Business Insider.
“In one recent video that has racked up more than 600,000 views, Mota shows off a series of blouses, hair accessories, and beauty products, as well as a sunflower dress. ‘I love sunflowers,’ she notes. ‘They’re one of my favorite flowers.’”
Mota makes an estimated $40,000 a month from her videos alone, although her net worth is unclear.
Bethany’s brand has expanded in recent years. She started her own fashion line at Aeropostale, for instance. And she regularly tours around the world to meet with fans. Bethany is also attempting to get into music, releasing her first single this year.
She does not appear to currently have a boyfriend, although she and Derek have been rumored to be dating.
