What is a vlog and how do I start one?

As I’m sure you figured, ‘vlog’ stands for ‘video blog’ and it’s exactly that: content that you would write a blog post on, but instead you talk to a camera about it.

Is vlogging the best way to build audiences?

There is something meaningful about seeing someone speak to you, even if it is through video! When you vlog, you’re letting someone in to see a little piece of your life or thoughts. If you’ve already built an audience elsewhere, vlogging will help you build loyalty by connecting with them on a more personal level.

What are the different types of vlogs?

There are two main styles of vlog: a ‘talking-head’ video where the camera is on a tripod (or on a stack of books depending on your equipment budget!) and stays steady while the vlogger talks about a subject, or a ‘follow me around’ vlog where the vlogger will take a camera with them and film clips as they go about their day or week.

What should you talk about when vlogging?

They’re sharing a day in their life, their process for food photography, their thoughts on politics, their review of the latest iPhone. They’re being themselves and telling you what’s on their mind. So if you’re wondering what to talk about when vlogging, think about what you know about your chosen niche topic (I bet it’s a lot).

Is vlogging on YouTube a good idea?

And if you’re brand new to the content game, vlogging on YouTube is a great place to start as the platform is also the world’s second largest search engine. Over one billion hours of video are watched daily on YouTube. That means you’ll be uploading your content to a place where people are already looking for it.

Do you need a million subscribers to start a vlog?

But the great thing about vlogging is that you don’t need a million subscribers to both give and receive a lot of value through your videos. If you already have a blog or a podcast (perhaps even both), a vlog could open you up to a whole new audience.
