Albanian Dea Manaj quickly became an Internet star.
She is young, successful and a source of inspiration for many girls: the Albanian Dea Manaj (27) managed to earn a living far from her homeland. The Albanian soon became an Internet star.
The journey of the Albanian who grew up in London began on YouTube. She was immediately enthusiastic about the Internet: Manaj surpassed 500,000 followers in no time – the videos she posted have already been viewed millions of times, like “next to»Reported.
Her passions are fashion, photography and travel. Manaj has now traveled to 35 countries and is fluent in English as well as Albanian. She is currently learning Spanish.
Leave the office job
Her Internet career began in 2017. After graduating in media and communication, she started using social media and creating online content. “I enjoyed creating and editing videos and also receiving feedback on them,” said Manaj of Albora.
His videos seemed to thrill people. “Almost every day I have seen the success of my videos increase.” That’s why the 27-year-old decided to turn her passion into a job: she gave up on office work and focused entirely on YouTube. When the Albanian also owned a high quality camera and her mother became a photographer, nothing stood in the way of her professional career on the Internet.
“I create authentic content”
Manaj was so engrossed in her new role that she was even “addicted” to creating content on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. Her zeal paid off: “One of my record-breaking videos reached ten million views in one month.”
The secret of their success? “I create authentic content and I’m natural.” Being close to her audience is especially important to her. And she seems to be able to do it: “I have a feeling that my followers have the feeling that they are one of my friends.”
The content of the Albanian is not only authentic, but also unique. Unlike the Albanian YouTubers, he also comments on various songs and video clips on the platform. “I started interacting and understanding the artists I was responding to.” She would also meet various artists for interviews.
The Albanian woman even owns her own clothing brand
In addition to YouTube, the Albanian also shows up on Instagram and Tiktok. However, to show different aspects of her personality, Manaj sheds light on other aspects of her life on these platforms.
Manaj is not only active on the Internet, but also in the fashion industry. “She I was interested in fashion and design from an early age.”
His MANAJ Design streetwear brand focuses on sustainable clothing that should be affordable. Manaj also wants to promote the culture of her land with her clothes: she recently created a collection with a Kosovar-Albanian architect. (dzc)
