Career[]
Grier states he is mostly self-taught on how to make videos including studying other Vine stars to see what would get the largest audience. The most popular Vine stars at the time were "almost all men and many of them [were] God-fearing Christians who [bleeped] f-bombs and [steered] clear of sex."[4] Grier's "apparent spontaneity", Huffington Post states, is actually shrewdly crafted and scripted programming, with clips re-filmed many times, and can be edited for hours. He is also careful to post them in the afternoon to coincide with the end of the school day.Grier has a second Vine account, Nash Grier 2, for less-scripted and reworked content that doesn't "entertain everyone."
Daily Dot estimates that between Twitter, Vine, and YouTube posts Grier speaks to more than 14 million fans as of July 2014. Huffington Post noted in March 2015 that Grier had the most followers on Vine with 11.3 million (though he was surpassed by KingBach shortly after the article was released on the 16th of that month), 7.3 million on Instagram, 4.1 million on YouTube and 4.3 million on Twitter, giving him "higher social media ratings than the White House."[4] Grier's team "confirmed that major brands will pay the star between $25,000 to $100,000 to plug their products" in vines.
Because of his popularity he has appeared on Good Morning America twice. Grier and his best-friend Cameron Dallas have accepted a movie deal with AwesomenessTV to star in their own movie.

In spring 2014 he moved to Los Angeles, California with Dallas, another Vine star Grier met through the site, so the aspiring actors could be near their agents.Chad Grier helps run 26MGMT which focuses on Vine stars and includes five clients including Grier, Dallas, and Grier's younger brother Hayes.Grier has earned money with deals from Sonic and Virgin Mobile among others, and also has a deal with Mobli.
