Vlogging in public - How do YOU feel about it?

[aliabdaal]

I rewatch this every few months and it gives me something new each time

Vlogging in public feels like wearing socks in the shower.

Watching this 3 years later and I have incorporated these points in my own vlogs, and it's true - You are the story, share it, be yourself and enjoy the journey! Keep creating!

Fantastic thoughts Peter. Thank you for the inspiration. Come to India sometime, I'll show you around.

I'm 60 and have been vlogging for almost a year now. Thanks Peter for being such a fun inspiration in this new adventure. You're leaving a wonderful legacy for your family. Keep em' coming :)

You've seriously got me wanting to get out of my comfort zone and do this, I'm going to start one soon and I hope you'll watch ❤️

We need more vloggers like Peter, he's a real creative just living life and working.

I used to feel really awkward vlogging in public, I used to not do it at all, especially if I was by myself, but now that I've been doing it for awhile I honestly don't care, some advice from a small creator like me is that if you feel uncomfortable vlog with friends, it takes away less of the awkwardness, then gradually try to just talk to the camera like your talking to your friends explaining what you are doing or how your day went, I love my vlogs and I love watching other people's vlogs, it's like a special connection between the viewer and the vlogger, I totally recommend doing it.

2023 and here I am watching Pete’s advices, getting ready to launch my own YouTube channel and it is amazing how 5 years later everything he advices it still applies. Thanks Pete for inspiring me for years in so many ways. After dealing with a chronic disease I decided it is time to give back to the community, just as you have inspired and taught us. Thanks for being here and have fun.

The most encouraging thing he said in this is that even he feels sometimes awkward vlogging in public

[freedominabudget]

This is so true! People watch vlogs because they love the person or family, not specifically what they are doing!

[nozomustorya]

Im the "STORY" Im the "BRAND" Im the "PRODUCT" 😍 this lines got me motivated 💪

4 years later and I'm rewatching this while actually writing out and planning my first vlog and youtube channel. I appreciate you and your content.

After a week of getting frustrated trying to create content for the first time, this was SO helpful. Thank-you Peter.

This video definitely gave me a different outlook on vlogging!!! I always think that I must do extraordinary things in my vlogs but now I know that I'm the one who makes those videos interesting

[MrDavidGlu]

With getting kind of stressed out recently thinking that my vlogs were gonna be boring because I wasn't doing these crazy extravagant things. this video is exactly what I needed. Thanks Peter! Great vid as always! :)

[Krisstofers]

I know I have told many vloggers that I was going to start vlogging, but I'm still having troubles getting over that step!!! So, this is really helping me to overcome that!!! Thank you!!!

I've been revisiting some "classics" from some of my favorite YouTubers, creators, and other inspirations today to help grease the creative wheels a bit, and lo and behold, some of the content that originally got me filming/vlogging/creating pops up.
This will definitely be one of the references i cite when I do my Q&A episode, because even though I'm still just a fledgling vlogger, one of the frequent questions I get when I'm out filming in public is "How do I get started vlogging?"
Thanks again Peter!
