Why You Should Start a Vlog | Location Rebel

Starting a vlog is one of the best things I think an online entrepreneur or business owner can do in 2018.

Why?

Because every year more and more people are turning to You Tube and videos to get answers to their questions and to be entertained. Not to mention the fact that there is no single better way to build trust with an audience than with video.

In this vlog, I answer the question "why should you start a vlog" - even if you don't think anyone is going to watch it.

Start a vlog to document your life too. I find that it helps give me a different perspective about my life.

I completely agree with you! I've been vlogging for 12 weeks now, I look back at the video from week 1 and am shocked at how much I've grown so quickly. More than anything else - vlogging has challenged me with my time management and my personal insecurities. I work a full time 40hr a week job, and have managed to create meaningful content completely separated from what I do for a living.

I love how casual and natural these are, Sean! What you said reminded me of a quote from Erin Morgenstern:

“You may tell a tale that takes up residence in someone's soul, becomes their blood and self and purpose. That tale will move them and drive them and who knows that they might do because of it, because of your words. That is your role, your gift.”

Thanks for doing that with Location 180!

PS: That twitter tagline is awesome! The proverbial middle finger.

All your reasons are very good. My husband and I started vlogging too just like 4 days ago. At first, it was a little uncomfortable, but we watched what we recorded, it was really nice to watch and see our interaction with each other. All new vloggers, good luck!!!👍

13 years ago when “we” (now “I”) decided to travel the Philippines to capture the beauty of it. Fee years ago things flashed back and planning to vlog but I am a timid person but when the other nationalities approach me everything goes on and it feels addicted and learned that I love human nature. I am planning now to start a vlog, surely this year☺️ thank you anyway for the advises that really helps a lot.

[ChristianMCarroll]

honestly, didn't want to start a vlog but you have honestly convinced something inside me to start over the next month or so. Thanks buddy, keep sharing your light

[TheNewAmericanLife]

Hey Sean! I just happened upon your blog coincidentally today and need to take a moment to thank you. For one reason or another, today has been a really rough day internally; and your channel was just the type of thing I needed to see.

Thank you for being relatable; and providing some much-needed motivation / encouragement. It means a lot. 🙂

I like your thoughts, I've just started uploading videos. I've been filming since 2007 and only now have had the courage to share. Im gonna definitely keep an eye on your progress. All your pointers make 100% sense and I watched to the end, you connected. See what i did there?! More newbies should watch this to figure out why they do this. This vlog more than any other has inspired me to do more cool stuff. Oh and keep

Hello Sean I just wanted to say thanks as I am buying a camera to starting to Vlog my life as I want to succeed in life and I want to remember the time that I had in my life and I want to look back at them when I am an old grandad 👴 and remember all the good time i had.
1.want to play guitar
2.want to snowboard
3.want to visit America New York
4.want to dirt bike
5.want to start getting fit making changes in my life
These are 5 things I want to work on and eventually I want to snowboard on the side of a mountain that I have been talking about since I was young and I want to become a car stunt man.

Reason 4 is why I am trying to get my vlog channel going, if you are forced to create you don't procrastinate. We are in the point of starting our own business, and hopefully my vlog will spur me into action.

Sean, thank you thank you thank you.

Been following you, recommending you, reading you, learning from you since the WDS days.

And I have tried vlogging twice last year... and I know that this is what I want to do i.e create videos and be a better story teller.

I wish you the best man, and thank you for putting yourself out there... it's great and I await your future vlogs!

[GarinEtch]

OMG I just connected with Sean Ogle!

Digging the vlog so far, look forward to seeing the trip.

[RyanSpong]

That's the reason I got into vlogging. To tell stories and become a better story teller.

[jessegarcia]

Dude thanks for your video, your on point. Live up to 1:40 to 2:50 and the rest will fall into place. I wanna start a vlog

[ryanholden]

Great points here. I've been stewing on the idea for a while, if not only for myself - Kind of relates to your point on keeping yourself accountable. I appreciate the thought you put into this video.

[AnwayPramanik]

"God, I point a lot.." <cut> "Reason number 1" <points to the camera> :P

You're one of my favs, Sean! Keep it up.
P.S. your AV quality is top notch now!

[AlexanderSwallow]

Great points! Becoming better at telling stories is a goal of mine. Before our ancestors used writing, I bet they were amazing at it.
