===2008 - 2014: Beginnings and "Emily Bland"===
In 2008, Emily opened her YouTube account, using her own name, Emily Bland. Her first video, titled "Timothy Alexander @ Colour, Sankeys, Manchester" was uploaded on December 12, 2010. It features one of her husband (then partner) Tim's performances as a DJ in Manchester.
She began uploading more frequently in October 2012, posting two or three videos a week. Emily's videos have a practical and lifestyle focus, for example, one of her first videos was a tutorial on "How to stretch canvas". She also posts videos about life in Berlin and Germany on the whole as a British expatriate. She advises people wishing to move to Germany on what to do, and what she has encountered whilst living in Germany.
In July 2013, she vlogged the week of her wedding, from returning to the UK from Berlin, to the wedding ceremony itself, and to a road trip to Scotland afterward.
On her main channel, Emily has collaborated with many people, including her husband, Tim; her sister, Natacha; Dominik Hannekum from Get Germanized; Leverne from LaOtraLeverne, and Hanna from HannaCreative. She has stated that she would like to collaborate with people such as Katja from Deutsch für Euch.
===2014 - 2019: Daily vlogging and "I'm Emily"===
On 10 March 2014, Emily announced that she would begin a second channel, on which she would be vlogging her life, daily. She said that the channel would be called I'm Emily. The first video on the channel was uploaded on 11 March 2014, and its title was "PHONE CALLS IN GERMAN!"
In the beginning, Emily only intended to take on the challenge of vlogging daily for a year only but has made the decision to continue vlogging, even though she has passed the milestone of one year.
In September 2015, the German-French television station Arte interviewed Emily for their program, 'Yourope. It involves them following her around Berlin whilst she vlogs. The episode is due for transmission before the end of November 2015.
===2020 - Present: Quitting YouTube===
On April 1, 2020, all the content from her second channel are set to private. A day later, all the content from her main channel was also set to private. She most likely quitted YouTube, or moved on.
