Social Media Career

Ruby Franke’s first video was titled ‘The Making of Eve’, which documented her young daughter Eve. The video showcased how Eve got along with the rest of the family members. The video was uploaded in January 2015 and has so far garnered more than a million views.

Initially, the channel struggled to amass a considerable number of views as it had managed to gain just a couple of subscribers. But Ruby’s fan base grew over a period of time and gradually, her channel started garnering more subscribers.

Since the channel did not get a great response initially, Ruby Franke was reluctant to post her videos on a regular basis. But as responses started flowing in, she eventually became a frequent uploader.

She then started uploading videos almost every day and came up with different themes in order to keep her fans entertained. Ruby homeschooled her kids and shared the same on her channel. She also shared parenting tips with her viewers and other useful information pertaining to raising kids. Her videos usually flew in every morning at six.

Apart from the useful information that she shared on her channel, what made her videos famous are the antics of her six children, who do silly things, making her videos funny and authentic.

While shooting her videos, Ruby Franke also made sure to incorporate certain elements that may inspire women to embrace motherhood.

Controversies and Scandals

While Ruby Franke became popular for her family vlogs, many expressed concern over her stern parenting style. In one instance, she took away her son’s bed for 7 months as a punishment. Things became worse after her affiliation with ConneXions, a parent coaching platform.

Amid bubbling speculations of the apparent rift in the family, Shari Franke spoke on social media about her reservations regarding ConneXions.
