    YouTube is no longer just a place to get your fill of #fail compilations and cat videos; the service has become big business for indie content creators. In the UK, they don't come any bigger than Zoe Sugg, aka Zoella, who has amassed over 9 million subscribers across her two YouTube channels. Over the past five years, the 24-year-old has posted video blogs (vlogs) offering beauty tips and advice on issues such as cyber-bullying and anxiety, and recently used those experiences to launch her first novel: Girl Online. Billed as "a modern day Notting Hill for teens," the book only went on sale on November 25th, but it's already become the UK's biggest-selling debut novel ever.
