Beware. Some make up tutorial and shopping haul channels on YouTube are models and actresses.

Here is the scenario. You are a young lady. Let's say between the ages of 14 - 25.
And you log onto YOUTUBE looking for honest and independent reviews of products from a "real" person. And not an actor, actress or model.

You just want to see honest, unfiltered opinions about products that you may be interested in purchasing. Ranging from make up, to clothing, to lingerie and other products. If shopping Haul videos and product reviews are your thing, listen up!

A lot of these channels that you see on YouTube are actresses, models, and actors. That are paid to promote products to you. For stores, vendors, websites and more!

People come to the internet to escape the Television. And to gain control of the information that they are being exposed to. And guess what? You are seeing the same thing, that is shown on television, but in a more concentrated, and targeted format!

Remember lonelygirl1? One of the first YouTube channels to become popular and even be talked about on Television. Well, she was an adult actress pretending to be a 15 year old girl, just discussing her life issues. And her YouTube channel was essentially a soap opera.

Thousands and possibly millions of people were fooled into believing that she was just a teenage girl who turned on her camera and talked to the world. And that couldn't be further from the truth!

Some of the things you need to look out for is the channels with a huge amount of subscribers and views! I've seen channels that have millions upon millions of views and sometimes about 2 million subscribers!

Don't get me wrong here. You can become a YouTube sensation and garner millions of views as a regular everyday person. with a likable personality, and well produced and informative videos. And yes, their is the possibility of you reaching a 1 million plus subscription rate. That may be true. However, it is abnormal.

Another thing to look out for is similarities amongst channels A lot of them look nearly identical! I've seen video after video, uploaded to different accounts, yet it's as as if the same person created them. And the titles of their videos are pretty much alike as well. They are often mass produces by numerous networks that are promoting specific products to targeted audiences.

In conclusion, if you want honest and unbiased reviews and opinions for products. It might be best to choose from the smaller channels. A lot of the bigger channels either do not have real subscribers, or they were payed for. Or the channel was promoted one way or another, and placed in front of peoples eyes by corporations. And the people that you see may not be providing their viewers with fair and honest testimonials for products.

Hope this article helps.
