Lauren Riihimaki, known to millions online as LaurDIY, has been a creative force on YouTube for over a decade. Back in 2011, feeling creatively stifled by her university courses, she did what many of us did: She started a blog. That blog quickly evolved into a YouTube channel, and 14 years later, Riihimaki has built a digital empire with over 8 million subscribers, plus millions more following along on Instagram (4.3M) and TikTok (2.2M).

SEE ALSO: These are the apps creators can't live without in 2025

Over the years, her content has grown far beyond DIY tutorials on YouTube. In 2020, Riihimaki became the host and executive producer of the HBO Max series Craftopia, and today she’s expanding her influence as both a content creator and entrepreneur, with new brand ventures, including one launching later this year. Still, she hasn’t lost touch with her original fanbase, using emerging platforms like TikTok to reintroduce her creativity to a new generation.

Ahead of VidCon 2025 (July 19–21 in Anaheim, California), I sat down with LaurDIY to discuss her decade of content creation, what she’s learned, and her advice for today’s rising creators.

Credit: Zooey Liao/ Image Credit: @LaurDIY Mashable: Do you remember your first viral video?

LaurDIY: There was this super trendy DIY tutorial that involved cutting a skull face into the back of a T-shirt. It was one of the very first ones that really got some traction. [Before that], I didn't ever have a video that blew up overnight, but that was the first one that was the outlier in that.

You said it wasn't overnight, but did that video change your approach to creating content?

Not necessarily. I think it definitely just affirmed that people were looking for more comprehensive tutorials versus a blog tutorial on DIY projects that I was doing.

It affirmed the consistency that I was putting into creating content on a weekly basis. But outside of that, it was all so foreign that I wasn't like, "Oh, now I know what to do in this next stage of this plan." I was so early in [my] content creation journey that I was just like, "This is wild."

You've been making videos for a long time. How do you still find inspiration for your videos?

Now, because there are so many creators and so many niches and formats, I would say honestly that other creators are a huge source of inspiration. There are a handful of photographers that I follow as well. I've recently gone on a bit of a journey, learning a little bit more about storytelling and content from a cinematic perspective.

And it's like, what can I learn from someone who might not be in my niche but has mastered something and shares their own tutorials, like how to achieve a certain angle for a shot? Then I can include [that] in my own video. So, it's pulling the expertise from other creators in a variety of genres across the internet because there really is a corner for every interest.

Do you have any favorite creators right now who you're finding inspiration from?

Gawx is someone on YouTube, [and] every piece of content he makes is so insanely mind-blowing. It really inspired me. His filmmaking is from such a DIY perspective. I absolutely can push myself to produce something in a cooler, more interesting, more intense way [like] he does.

[Other creators Riihimaki is inspired by at the moment include Jake Frew, Life of Riza, and Tammy (Uncomfy).]

How long would you say it took to see significant growth on your channel?

I essentially made content consistently throughout my university career, [and] after three years, before I graduated, I had been making a full-time income.

You know my parents had helped [me] through university, and so I really wanted to see it through and finish. So, technically, from a financial perspective, I could have gone full-time after two years, but I had one last year, and I would say that I was in a good groove of balancing the full course load and also making content. And so I'd come this far throughout my degree, that I wanted to finish it out. When I graduated, I was very much like, "OK, wow, I have so much time in the day to dedicate to full-time content creation."

Was it in that senior year that you realized you could turn it into a full-time career?

Yeah, definitely. There were a handful of brand deals that I did in that senior year of university where I was like, "There's no world where I'm going to go into an entry-level position in the job industry that I had gone to school for, where I would be making more than I am through content creation."

It was so great to be financially independent so much earlier than I anticipated in my life. I've been working since I was 15, so I feel like my parents have really helped me understand the value of money. I'm very frugal, and I love feeling very stable, so to be financially independent so much earlier than I anticipated was so freeing and also motivating. I was like, "I have the best job in the entire world. I am so lucky. Like, what would ever stop me from pursuing this full-time?"

I scooped ice cream. I was a server for years. I've been in the trenches in those starter jobs when you're 15 and 16. So, having this be my full-time job now, I have all this valuable perspective.

That actually leads into my next question, which was, how did you get your first brand deal? And how does it differ from your brand deals today?

So, I'm still with the same management from a decade ago. Scott Fisher, before it was called Select Management, he and I were working together when we were both in the Toronto area.

He secured me my first brand deal. It was to promote the movie Divergent when the very, very first one came out. And I was like, "So, you're telling me that I'm just going to talk about how I loved the movie, and I had read all the books, too? " Of course, I would do this for free.

And I would say that, to be honest, outside of the scale of the partnerships and the brands that I've been able to work with, not that much has really changed in that landscape. Obviously, I would say things have gone in the direction of short-form brand deals in recent years, but outside of the actual transaction of what a brand deal is, at its core, I would say that things are incredibly similar.

That's so nice that your first brand deal was so natural rather than forcing yourself through an ad-read.

I've been really lucky to work with some incredible brands and to also be able to have my say in which brands I work with. I have always been aligned with the content that I'm making and the brand that I've built for myself.

And along those lines, what does monetization look like for you today?

I would say brand deals are the majority [of my income] right now. I do some angel investing in startups on the side as well. Maybe eventually, if all things go well, those will move into the majority category, but obviously, those are high-risk investments.

Brand deals have gone up, and AdSense has gone down, unfortunately. That's just the reality of the platform as it's grown. I would say that the creator partner program with TikTok has also gone up.

I'm also launching a dog brand in the fall. So that's been more of a "spend the money now and hopefully grow the brand later" strategy, but it's also another category of potential revenue for the future.

Across all of your platforms, do you have one that's been the most crucial in growing your audience?

Because I've been a creator for so long, the algorithm on TikTok has been incredibly helpful for me in terms of resurfacing my content and brand to people and an audience who may have been familiar with my content in the past.

Maybe [the audience] aged out because I also had a huge content pivot, maybe five or six years ago, where I stepped away from being so family-friendly and became more authentically myself. You wouldn't catch me cursing 10 years ago on YouTube, and so now things are just more authentic. A large chunk of my audience probably aged out of my content and has now reconnected. We're in totally different stages of our lives now. I planned a wedding, I got married, I went on a honeymoon, and now we're talking about fertility. So, it's just a totally different era of our lives.

I think TikTok has been really crucial for me in terms of resurfacing my content, and it's been amazing to see people say, "Wow, I used to watch you when I was so much younger, and I love your content now, too." It's a really nice, full-circle moment.

I've encountered that as a viewer, too. I lost touch with the creators I followed on YouTube in high school, but rediscovered them through other platforms a decade later.

To your point, even the amount of time that people have to give to a 25-minute vlog versus a 90-second TikTok lets you still feel very connected to that creator. From a creator's perspective, I want to make sure that I'm offering both of those formats.

I know that some people love to listen to a 25-minute vlog while they're folding their laundry or driving to work, but if I've got five minutes, I'm just scrolling TikTok, and I'm not going to open a full vlog. So I understand there are different needs from an audience member now in terms of the time they're able to allocate to a creator.

Speaking of the fan relationship, VidCon is almost here. I'd love to know your experience with VidCon in the past and what you're looking forward to this year.

VidCon is an incredible weekend. Because so much of the creator and audience relationship is digital, it is always incredible to be able to see and meet people at such a large in-person event.

If someone were to have 10,000 subscribers, and say you end up meeting a hundred of those 10,000 subscribers at VidCon, the scale feels so much more real. When you're in that physical state of meeting someone, the connection is just different, and it's incredibly valuable. If someone says, "I love your videos," and you get to actually thank them in person, [it's] really, really valuable from a creator perspective.

I haven't been to VidCon since pre-COVID, so I'm excited to see how it's changed. This year, with a new brand launching, I'm also thinking about the B2B [business-to-business] play because, as you know, the creator industry has become more valuable and has shown that there's real selling power behind creator brands. 

Has there ever been a moment when you really felt like, "Oh, I've made it as a content creator?"

There are a handful of different levels that you hit. I think for the early generations of creators, there wasn't a path paved for what this was going to look like as a career. And so every time I felt like I leveled up, I was like "Oh my god, this is it. How much better could this get? This is the dream job."

Being financially independent and having a little team around you to support you, whether that be an entertainment lawyer, a manager, or an assistant, and having people helping you to make content, you feel like a little mini production company. Those are the very first steps of being like, "Wow, I feel like an established creator with a content business."

From a more personal perspective, when I got the opportunity to host two seasons of the HBO Max show Craftopia, it felt like everything that I had done online, on YouTube, on social media had led me to that opportunity. That felt like one of those moments where I was like, "Wow, this is such a wild integration crossover of digital and traditional media." It just felt so validating that what I had built as a DIY creator and social media content creator had come to fruition to this level of opportunity.

Do you have any advice for someone who's starting out with content creation?

The number one thing, and honestly, it's a question that I pose to myself all the time, is, "What am I offering?"

So, whether it be entertainment, relatability, comfort, or educational information, it's about what you are offering with your content. When you're in the creation or brainstorm process, having that question at the forefront of your process is so helpful to give you purpose and help shape even just the hook and the delivery. It can help give you some guardrails because it's so great that there are so many corners and so many niches. You can make [any] content, and there's going to be an audience for literally anything that you want to make. Using that question at the forefront of your process can be really helpful and give you that guiding light.

And that's not to say that you have to stay in one lane of content. It's just about what you're offering.

Meta has added a new pop-up to the Meta AI app, warning users that prompts they post are public. As a general rule, you should never assume that anything you tell an AI chatbot is private. However, it seems some Meta AI users hadn't realised that their chatbot conversations could be published for the world to see.

SEE ALSO: Zuckerberg is reportedly assembling a 'superintelligence group' for Meta AI

The public Discovery feed in the Meta AI app has been filled with people's interactions with the chatbot, with multiple publications reporting last week that the app published sometimes sensitive or embarrassing conversations, audio, and images that users likely believed were confidential. Mashable's own exploration of the app's Discovery feed also corroborated this, finding Meta AI conversations from heartbroken people going through difficult breakups, attempting to self-diagnose medical conditions, and even posting personal photos it would like the AI to edit.

Now Meta AI has added a new warning alerting users that their prompts are public. First reported by Business Insider, this message pops up when you tap the "Share" button on one of your interactions with Meta AI. A "Post to feed" button will then appear at the bottom of your screen, below the warning reading, "Prompts you post are public and visible to everyone. Your prompts may be suggested by Meta on other Meta apps. Avoid sharing personal or sensitive information."

Business Insider reports that Meta AI users have always had to hit those "Share" and "Post to feed" buttons to publish their conversations to the Discovery feed. However, judging from the information that's been appearing there, it seems that quite a few users may not have understood what this meant. The new pop-up appears targeted to make this clearer. As of Monday, Meta AI's Discovery feed is now dominated with AI-generated images, as well as the occasional generic text prompt from Meta-run accounts. 

Fortunately, users can also opt out of being included in this feed of unsuspecting and unintentional oversharers in Meta AI's settings for some extra security. Even so, it's always best to be mindful about what you tell Meta AI, as well as any other AI chatbot you decide to use. 

How to keep your Meta AI chats private

Aside from staying far away from Meta AI's "Share" button, you can further safeguard your prompts from becoming public fodder by adjusting the app's privacy settings. Here's how to keep your Meta AI conversations confidential.

It's official: Prime Day 2025 will take place July 8 through July 11, Amazon confirmed in a press release early June 16.

The four-day window is a first for Amazon — previous Prime Days were just 48 hours long. It's actually a wonder that Amazon managed to wait until its tenth Prime Day to have its sale take up a majority of the work week. Whether the extension is related to the decade anniversary or inspired by challenging market conditions, we can't say for sure. We can say this: we saw it coming months ago.

When exactly does Prime Day start this year?

Amazon's signature shopping event will kick off on Tuesday, July 8, shortly after the Fourth of July weekend. Typically, shopping events at Amazon start at 3 a.m. ET in the early morning hours, so in this case, a few hours after midnight on July 7. We expect the deals will stay live until around the same time the following Friday. We'll update this article if we learn anything new.

Do I need a Prime account?

For the most part, yes. While some deals will be available to anyone who shops at Amazon, whether you're a Prime member or not, most deals are Prime exclusives. Prime members also get access to free 2-day shipping and returns, as well as access to Prime Video and other perks like Grubhub+. Fortunately, if you're not a member yet, it's easy to sign up for a free trial. You can pay for Amazon Prime memberships monthly, so there's nothing stopping you from canceling your membership once your Prime Day packages arrive.

Once your trial is over, Prime memberships cost $14.99 a month, or $7.49 a month for Prime Student.

There will probably be a higher volume of Prime Day deals this year just because there's more time to squeeze them all in. In theory, the deals should also last longer, which might be less stressful for buyers who want to ponder the items in their cart for a few days. This'll be nice for bigger investments that would ideally involve some quick research before buying, like a TV, laptop, or robot vacuum.

Plus, it's easy to frantically buy a ton of stuff you don't need on Prime Day just because it's on sale and just in case that price goes up tomorrow. Perhaps the extended time window will act as a cushion against time-sensitive panic buys.

This is barring the infamous lightning deals, which drop on the hour and have a limited inventory that can be claimed.

However, the actual dates of Prime Day aren't exactly hard cutoffs for most Prime Day deals. Just like Black Friday lasts essentially the entire month of November, we expect many Prime Day deals to linger throughout July. Many brands also unlock their Prime Day deals days ahead of the official start. Amazon itself tends to open discounts on some of its own devices early, though it is pretty strict about ending its own discounts once the clock strikes 12 (a.m. PT or 3 a.m. ET). If we see deals dropping early, we'll update this story immediately.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

Whatever activity you try your hand at, you always start off as, well... a beginner. Hey, even the likes of Lionel Messi or Simone Biles were newbies once upon a time. And who knows? Maybe you’ll reach the heights of an elite droning competition one day.

For now, it’s all about learning the ropes — or rotor blades in the case of drones. To help you get started, we’ve looked for the best, most capable drones available.

Picking a drone isn't as easy as it sounds. There's more to this droning lark than just pressing takeoff. There are different types of drone-based activities plus regulations (not to mention — yawn — administrative costs) to know about before getting your frequent drone flyer miles. That applies whether you’re interested in drone photography or racing or mastering the art of the 360° roll. Here's everything you need to know, along with a roundup of select drones for beginners.

What is a drone?

It seems simple but it’s worth reiterating. In basic terms, drones are remote-controlled aerial vehicles. They can be controlled and utilised in a variety of ways — not to mention flown at various distances and heights, depending on how advanced they are. You’ve probably heard a lot about drones in recent years. Drones sometimes make headlines thanks to their use in military and aerospace technologies.

Are there different types of drones?

In terms of the kind of drones listed here — i.e. drones used for leisure activities — the most popular type is the multi-rotor drone. They’re often small and lightweight and have four rotors (sometimes called quadcopters). Some of the drones on the list are also “mini” — palm sized flyers that are easily portable, but still come equipped with decent camera equipment and other features.

What is drone photography?

The most common use for drones is photography. In basic terms, you can fly a drone and capture aerial footage, but photography features and functionality go way beyond simple birds-eye-view shots. Drones are used by filmmakers and professional photographers, and they offer all kinds of shooting modes that can track, follow, and spiral around your photography subject. This is usually controlled in a smart device app. Some drones also have advanced cameras that are capable of recording and transmitting 4K quality footage. Depending on the drone, they may be able to transmit this footage in real time or even post straight to social media. But you don't have to be a pro to use a camera drone. They're also great for fun snaps and general use.

What is an FPV drone?

FVP drones ("first person view") allow you to control your drone by beaming a real-time video to your device or a pair of VR-like googles. In other words, it puts you in the pilot’s seat. FPV drones are usually used for drone racing, a popular trend among drone hobbyists, so they tend to be built for speed and agility. Also look out for "tiny whoop" drones — micro-sized FPV racers.

What flight features to drones have?

There are all kinds of flight features to know about. Some drones (depending on how advanced they are) will allow you to map a predetermined route and fly using GPS, for instance. Common features include one-button takeoff and altitude hold, which means the drone can hover in the same spot mid-air. There's also headless mode, which allows your drone to fly in any direction, and 360° flips at the push of a button. Most decent drones will have return to home (RTH) technology, which means the drone will automatically fly back to you when you're finished flying or the battery is low. Hi-spec drones may also have obstacle avoidance sensors to prevent collisions.

How far does a drone fly?

Most beginner-level drones fly from a range of anything between 80 and 500 metres. Some models, however, will fly out several kilometres. It all depends on the kind of tech you want and how much you’re willing to spend.

How do you register your drone?

It may come as a surprise but if your drone weighs over 250 grams, you have to register it with the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) for a small fee. Piloting an unregistered drone is against the law. Go to CAA.co.uk for all the rules and regulations and CAA Consultations for drone registration. Once you've done that, you can start thinking about which device you actually want.

What is the best drone for beginners?

We've put in the air miles and landed on the very best models. There's something for every type of budding drone pilot on this list. Just read on and pick a favourite.

These are the best drones for beginners in 2025.

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that's captured the public's attention. The game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier—so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today's Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The NYT's latest daily word game has become a social media hit. The Times credits associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu with helping to create the new word game and bringing it to the publications' Games section. Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

If you're reading this, you're looking for a little help playing Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game.

Strands requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.

By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle getting harder?

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.
