Career[]
Carter launched his channel on September 24, 2009, but started vlogging and filming his first videos in 2017. His first video was entitled ‘My First Vlog- (Carter Sharer)’ in which he introduced himself to the audience, and introduced his brother and his friend Lizzy. This was followed by a science experiment video titled ‘Ninja Weapons Soda Drop Test’ in which Sharer and his brother exploded soda bottles by dropping them on ninja weapons. This video was a hit and was soon followed by more experiment videos. After a period of time, the YouTuber began to post general vlogs while simultaneously continuing with his experiment videos.
His channel’s popularity reached newer heights when the video ‘RC Car Drives on Pool’ came out. This video was posted on December 21, 2017 and featured Sharer driving his RC car into the pool. The vlog became an epic hit and managed to earn millions of views. Currently, it has over 12 million views (As of October 2018). Most of the videos which were posted after this one also managed to garner millions of views along with thousands of likes.
Carter has collaborated with Papa Jake and also attended a Lego Ninja contest along with Lizzy, Stephen and his sister Grace. Carter ended up getting a sponsor for his Lego video and also was awarded a Lego custom green Trophy and a Lego set. He has also been involved in the ongoing "Pond Monster" and Game Master Situation and was one of the YouTube Targets for the Project Zorgo doomsday event, which the fictional event ended up being terminated by YouTube for policy and security reasons.
Carter also used to vlog with his brother Stephen from 2017 until 2018. They were known as the Sharer Bros, back when Carter was living in the Sharer Fam House. They would also follow trends on the Internet such as Fidget Spinners and slime. Carter and his brother also attempted the "Roman Atwood" backflip challenge in 2016 & also traveled with his brother to places outside of his hometown in Virginia.
In late 2018, a month before Christmas, Carter announced to all his viewers and fans that he would be moving out of the Sharer Fam house forever, which was the house he used to vlog in. Before he moved to LA, Carter shared his old memories of living in the Sharer Fam house from the day he started his channel in 2017 until that day. In the video where he moved out of the Sharer Fam house, he got emotional and said that the Sharer Fam house was the house that his brother Stephen & his friend Liz created their YouTube channels. In the video he also shared that he was gonna start a new chapter of his life, which was completely different & new to him from the life he had back at the Sharer Fam house. Though a lot of people were disappointed not seeing Stephen Sharer around, and fans still hope to this day that Carter should film with his brother Stephen again as it was before when he lived in Virginia.
As part of his success he later moved into a mansion in a big neighborhood in LA called Holmby Hills, which he calls the "Team RAR House" where he vlogs and does 24 hour challenges with his friends. Carter has been involved with his Lamborghini being spray-painted, which he suspected was perpetrated by two of his friends. And once his 1M car collection was stolen, which was a prank by one of his friends, which they made into a video.
