British beauty and fashion vlogger and young YouTube celebrity, Tanya Burr has an estimated net worth of £1.5 million.
Born on June 9, 1989, Tanya Burr was raised and schooled in Norwich, after which she underwent training to become a makeup artist and took to working in Jarrold’s department store on a beauty counter in her hometown.
How did Burr use her beauty counter experience to become a digital influence worth millions?
In October 2009, while still at Jarrold, she created the Tanya Burr YouTube channel, where she began uploading videos after work. Mainly posting ‘how-to’ tutorials to imitate celebrity looks, Burr later roped in vlogs and ‘haul’ videos. In 2011, once her vlog bloomed, she quit her job to concentrate full-time on it—making good use of Twitter and Instagram to get her channel noticed more. She also began writing her blog Tanya Burr from March onwards that year.
