In 2010, she launched another YouTube channel called "Bethanyslife," which currently has 1.98 million subscribers, although no recent content has been posted since 2017. Mota's influence expanded when she was chosen as one of the content creators for YouTube's inaugural advertising campaign in 2014. She also interviewed former US President Barack Obama, along with two other YouTubers, as part of an initiative to engage with a younger audience. In October of the same year, Mota delivered talks on anti-bullying for National Bullying Prevention Month. Additionally, she appeared as a guest judge on "Project Runway" and made appearances on several popular talk shows such as "The View," "Live with Kelly and Ryan," "The Meredith Vieira Show," "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," "Today," "Good Morning America," and "Undercover Boss."
