Secret in the story. It doesn’t matter what story it is, good or bad. Just show your story. And never give up.

I think not caring about what other people think or say is key to life in general.

“Don’t be afraid while you vlog outdoors” this just made me get back all my lost confidence ❤️ Thank you so much ❤️ Loads of love & respect from INDIA ❤️🙏

Comprehensive and intelligible! I am a 75 year old grandpa who am/was thinking of vlogs as a way to connect with my far away grandchildren. I now realize how much work that goes into it and, if I start, how to go about to keep the interest of the kids up.

Great video. I’m 53 years old and just getting started. We are full time RVers traveling with our disabled son. This really helped me in getting started. A little overwhelmed but excited to start

I like this vlog in particular. So many vloggers are over the top hyperactive waving their arms around like they are on coke. The edit is tight here and the info was concise. My observation in watching vlogs is that I like people that are just being authentic and not trying too hard to get attention.

The first 'How to vlog video' I've watched without having the feeling that I'm wasting my time.
And a great example.

Who else is a newbie vlogger?? I started out before watching this video but am SO glad I watched this... COVID-19 has wiped off my touring calendar so I finally have time to watch videos about how to make better VLOGS! Hope everyone is staying safe/doing ok during this stressful time.

I recently did a vlog with a gimbal (first time doing it) and I found that it makes vlogging in public easier. Sure, it's a workout, but the general public will see that setup and will instantly treat your effort to get those shots (even of yourself) with absolute respect because they see that device and see you as pro

[malloryschoenberg]

I literally have no experience at all with vlogging but one tip that just came to me that ive used in different situations kind of like vlogging that I bet would work with some of you who dont want to do it in public (I dont think I personally will mind as much) is to wear sunglasses. it makes u look like you actually know what your doing, and it makes you appear older and more famous than what you are which can actually help you get into more things and talk freer to anyone around you and the camera. Just make sure you dont do it too much and find a space away from people so they can see your eyes, ESPECIALLY if something interesting is happening or your saying something important because your eyes sell the story and let them connect with you. Idk where all that came from but I felt like I should share :)

[TrueTupaKnows]

Because of Covid-19 I am into vlogging. Complete beginner here, Anyone just starting? Let's help each other. 😊

"Don't be afraid to put up the camera and shoot to begin with"
that's my inspirational line...👍🏻😁

[ChawanHeminVlogs]

So... I am a vlogger now. 😄
Everyone learns to record and edit. But no one starts vlogging. Just do it.

[SandyTalksCanada]

I just posted my first vlog. I am excited and I know I will learn through my experience/mistakes and ofcourse from awesome people like you. All the best to everyone!! Always remember never give up!!

[PavlovtheCorgi]

FINALLY AN ACTUALLY HELPFUL VIDEO ABOUT VLOGGING!!! Thanks for being so straight forward and honest.

[ElisPhotoVideo]

I really appreciate this video. I’ve been in a massive creator rut. I used to post videos because it was fun, but I realized I was lost. A lot happened, but this is the wake up call I needed. Luckily I’ve been creating on Instagram, so I’m not completely lost. Thank you! I am so hyped to create again on YouTube.

[MeganGraham]

This is such a great video. I feel like it was both engaging AND chock full of information. Figuring out what equipment to use etc is not easy, and this made such a big difference. Thank you for taking the time to put it together.

for those of you that want to do Daily Vlogs/blogs... he failed to mention how to do it. Best way is to stockpile your vlogs/blogs. In other words, make them ahead of time. Do at least a week to two weeks ahead of time to begin, then post them on your vlog/blog BUT schedule them for Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday etc... then pick a day during the week, say Wednesday to make a whole nother set of Vlogs, so you are always a week or two ahead, just in case something comes up or you want to go on vacation or something.... but do not start doing a daily vlog and try to do them every single day, you will burn yourself out and probably won't have time on any given day to do them...so to draw and keep your fans make sure you have a good stockpile to start.
