Being a schoolgirl, the girlran a print blog, was fond of photography and filming, studied the history and ways to make money on YouTube. Inspired by the success of well-known bloggers, Katya Klep (real name - Ekaterina Trofimova) decided to create her own channel and started developing a future video blog.
In 2010, a 16-year-old girl made her dream come true by shooting the first video together with a friend called "Polliter Mouse". The first pancake, of course, came out lumpy - the video turned out to be uninteresting and meaningless. But the purposeful Katya stubbornly moved forward, continuing to post one video after another on YouTube, which gradually began to gain huge momentum in popularity.

It is unlikely that now among teenagers and young people there is a person who does not know who Katya Klep is. Of course, her name is familiar to many, but the biography of the young Runet star is not known to everyone. Comedy sketches, vlogs (video recordings), the girl's video diaries are filled with positive emotions, sparkling jokes, humorous reflections and Katya's funny antics.
Usual at first a video blog with ordinary clownery of two girls, Katya Klap then turned into an author's sketch show. A talented girl not only parodies celebrities and talks about everything that interests young people (reviews of books, films, confidential conversations, advice, shots of her growing up, travels, etc.), but also transforms into various images, raps and plays skits. Videos are released once a week and are estimated by millions of views. The well-known blogger Katya Klep is developing the script, acting, editing and directing videos herself, professionally changing shots, adding rhythm and overlaying sound.

Special about the sketch show "Challenge Accepted"
One of the interesting creative directions of the video blogger is the "Challenge Accepted" segment. The essence of the issue is that the girl fulfills the strange and sometimes ridiculous requests of her subscribers: she eats lemons, hot peppers, puts on makeup without a mirror, draws herself with her eyes closed, wraps herself in a carpet, chews a box of chewing gum and so on. Moreover, she performs all these actions with her inherent enthusiasm and positive, not forgetting to end the next videos with the phrase loved by everyone: “Stay as positive and creative, all the best to you!”

It follows from this that the girl not only shoots videos, but also makes good money on them, receiving regular deductions from video hosting. Many fans of the star are interested in how much Katya Klep earns, whose photos are increasingly appearing on the covers of fashion glossy magazines and on the Internet?
According to some reports, the income of the “Goddess of YouTube” varies from 5 to 40 thousand dollars a month, and this is income from only two YouTube channels, not counting accounts on Twitter and Contact. Katya receives many offers to advertise this or that product, but so far she refuses, explaining this by the fact that she perceives blogging as a hobby rather than a job. Now the girl is studying at the Institute of Contemporary Artat the faculty of directing, dreams of taking a selfie with Putin and becoming an architect.
