6. Follow Successful Vloggers

Before you start the journey of video blogging, find out those who have been in the business, and strategies they implemented to become successful. Some successful bloggers include: people like Kyle, Carson, and many others within and outside the WA community.

Take some time to go through their content, watch their video tutorials, seek advice from them, because virtually all successful vloggers have some form of tutorials on how to become successful in vlogging.

7. Decide the Kind of Vlogger You Want to Become

You can video blog about almost anything, including:

Activities: If you’re a good dancer, you can actually make videos of you dancing.

Food: If you’re good at cooking, you can make strategic videos of your delicious meals. There are a lot of people who are looking forward to learning how to cook certain recipes; so you can take advantage of it, by making videos on how to cook.

Beauty: If you are a fashion designer, or a makeup artist, you can make videos on the latest outfits in town, or if you like experimenting with how different make-ups look like, you can actually make regular videos of the entire processes.

8. Ensure You Have the Necessary Equipment

Though, vblogging doesn’t require heavy lightening or a studio, there is some necessary equipment you cannot do without, they include:

Video camera: If have a Smartphone with quality video camera, it can be used, but ensure that it supports HD (1080p) footage.

Lighting: It’s highly recommended if you’re making a video indoor.

Tripod: Viewers don’t like shaking footage, so consider buying a tripod for your camera regardless of its size.

Microphone: A microphone attached to your camera will pick up sound from the direction the camera is pointing towards. It may not be important you are using a Smartphone, but it’s necessary to enhance audio clarity.

Thanks, Israel. With the exception of the actual video part. The steps to success are very similar to blogging. It is good to know we already possess the skills, we just need to turn them to video.....not easy for some who are camera shy.

That's true, Alex! Some people are really camera shy and wouldn't consider it feasible to try vlogging, whereas, it isn't compulsory to create self-made videos to start a channel. Thanks for leaving a valuable thought!

Thank you very much, a time will come when writing articles will no longer sell and all we will be selling is videos and podcast.

And it is here already

Hey Parameter, vlogging is proven to have taken over text-based blogging as it calls for creating video content that the vast majority of users cherish and would help your blog dominate the search engine results pages starting from 2020. Thanks for leaving a thought!
