So maybe not the best web presence, but a web presence nonetheless. But that just makes it all the more impressive to me that some people are able to spin their web presence into both a hobby and a career \u2014 and in some cases, a celebrity status.<\/p>\n<p>Take, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCLNwF5rirK71CwoLTVub__A\/featured\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sydney McGee<\/a>. Sydney started vlogging when she was just 14 years old, and many of her first videos only received a couple hundred views. Now, just a few short years later, Sydney has gained over 2 million views and impressions on Instagram and YouTube. Her vlogs include everything from trips overseas to trips to Steak &#8216;n Shake, and she makes them both equally interesting and entertaining.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19043\" style=\"width: 451px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19043\" data-attachment-id=\"19043\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/sydney-mcgee\/image-4\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/image.png?fit=441%2C383&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"441,383\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Sydnee McGee&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/image.png?fit=441%2C383&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-19043 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/image.png?resize=441%2C383&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sydney McGee on the GigSalad Greenroom Interviews podcast\" width=\"441\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/image.png?w=441&amp;ssl=1 441w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gigsalad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/image.png?resize=150%2C130&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 441px) 100vw, 441px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-19043\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sydney McGee<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In this interview, Sydney shared how she turned her hobby into a full-time passion project, gave us the secret to her success, and told some awesome stories during a few rounds of Never Have I Ever.
