BuzzFeed News looks at how three couples, two housemates and a young mother rose to the top.
Nine of the most popular YouTube stars in the UK are heading out on tour together.
They are Zoe Sugg aka Zoella, Alfie Deyes aka Pointless Blog, Joe Sugg, Caspar Lee, Jim Chapman, Tanya Burr, Marcus Butler, Niomi Smart, and Louise Pentland aka Sprinkle of Glitter.
On Sunday they take their AmityFest tour to Birmingham, before heading to Liverpool and Brighton.
As well as their huge popularity, what makes this group so intriguing is how their burgeoning careers are so interlinked with their private lives.
There are three couples, a brother and sister, and two housemates within the group. One of the couples is engaged to be married.
They all spend vast amounts of their time together, and regularly pop up in each other's videos.
Between them they hold an incredible influence over the young YouTube audience in this country.
As a result, some of them now have book deals, beauty ranges, and mainstream presenting gigs.
In a recent interview with BuzzFeed News, Zoe Sugg said there were large parts of their life the YouTubers don't share with their captivated audience.
However the group continues to shoot the majority of their videos in their homes.
They sometimes even film up to the point when they go to bed with each other.
