Stuart Edge started out as a port-a-potty cleaner with only 9 subscribers on his budding YouTube channel. Then he posted the video of a Mistletoe Kissing Prank he pulled on BYU campus.

Literally overnight, his channel was exploding with views and subscribers. In its first week, the video had 10 million views, and within a few weeks his channel had 100,000 subscribers. He was being contacted by news stations wanting to air his video and interview him.

Now he's moved on from construction to become a full-time video editor, specializing in magic tricks and pranks that more often than not involve getting girls to kiss him and/or go out with him. 

Recently he got to demonstrate one of his tricks to Jimmy Fallon, and the shenanigans continue! Be sure to check out his Facebook page and ebsite to see what all the fuss is about.

When Lindsey Stirling was on America's Got Talent in 2010, she made it to the quarter-finals but was ultimately eliminated because the judges thought she wouldn't be able to "fill a theater in Vegas" on her own.

This echoed what Stirling had been told for years--that her style and music was "unmarketable." But since her time on America's Got Talent, Stirling has found her niche via YouTube.

Now it seems that everyone knows about the hip-hop violinist. Her beautiful violin arrangements combined with self-taught dance moves are catching international attention. Along with original techno-violin songs, she does covers of popular songsand video game theme music. She's also well-known for her amazing costumes and brilliant music videos.

Her most popular video, "Crystallize," was YouTube's 8th most-watched video of 2012. It currently has over 101 million views.

Since "Crystallize," she's done covers with several popular artists, including Pentatonix, John Legend, and the Piano Guys. 

Her YouTube channel, Lindsey Stirling, currently has over 5 million subscribers, and her videos have garnered over 716 million views! That number will no doubt continue to grow now that she's signed on with Disney-owned Maker Studios, who will now manage her YouTube channels and, as Stirling put it, get her "one step closer to becoming a Disney princess!"

Mindy McKnight has literally made YouTube her business. Her styling tips and tutorials on her YouTube channel have caught national attention. She was recently featured on Katie Couric and has been on TV on many other occasions.

Her videos involve the whole family, especially her six children, who are often the ones getting their hair done in her videos. Her husband actually quit his job to help her with her venture, and business is booming! 

When McKnight posted a tutorial for the Katniss braid (before "The Hunger Games" had even premiered), she caught the attention of the movie's hair stylist.
