Despite this, Jenna worked in several places before she started making videos for stoollala.com in 2006, such as a go-go dancer.

YouTube career-oriented[]

"I don't know what I'm doing, but I think if I had it all figured out I would be doing something wrong because I think it makes it so that you can't grow. You have to be confused in life or else you won't grow. But all I know is that YouTube makes me really happy and all of you make me really happy, and without your love and support, I would be lost. ...I still have no idea what I want to do with my life. I'm more confused now than I've ever been, but your love and support has changed my entire life. And seeing all your comments, I realized all I ever want to do is make people happy."

In the beginning, Jenna made random videos with her dog Mr. Marbles and documenting her work in the night life industry. She continued to post sporadically until her viral hit, "How To Trick People Into Thinking You're Good Looking". After that, she started to post every Wednesday/Thursday.

In 2013 Jenna introduced fans to her new boyfriend Julien. Jenna's fans were initially very cold and dismissive towards Julien, especially when he started appearing in her videos, but after showing his Aries Energy, people started to warm up to him quickly. Now, Julien appears often in Jenna's videos and helps her shoot them as well.

Around 2016, Jenna's content geared towards beauty videos, but with her own twist, such as doing an entire face full of Rhinestones, exposing terrible "5-minute" crafts, and expanding the "100 layers of everything" challenge which includes liquid lipstick, foundation, eyelashes, fake tan, and nail polish. These videos have gotten the attention of notable beauty gurus such as James Charles, who Jenna ended up collaborating with on his channel on February 26, 2019.

Nearly all of her videos were receiving over one million views by the end of the first week. Jenna's channel currently has over 20 million subscribers and one of the most loyal fan bases around.

In June of 2020, Jenna Marbles posted a video titled 'A Message' where she apologized for past videos that were deemed insensitive by fans. She showed two videos in particular which allegedly showed Jenna doing black face (using fake tan on her arm, Ultimate 100 Coats of Things Video), making fun of Asian culture and women who 'sleep around'. Jenna was incredibly upset and emotional. She then stated she was leaving YouTube due to the fact that she posted content in the past that seemed insensitive. The video was later deleted, making "Making a dog birthday cake" her latest video.

In August of 2020, Julien alongside Jenna announced that the Jenna and Julien Podcast was ending with the final episode being released on the 17th of August, less than a month after Julien was left to make episodes on his own. This included a surprise appearance from Jenna, who had left social media. All the episodes of the Jenna and Julien podcast are still available on podcast services and YouTube.

It is unknown if Jenna Mourey plans to return to YouTube.
