Ever heard of vlogging or video blogging? Today, many people like to record videos about various interesting topics, their point of view and opinions about certain things, or their daily life. This time, let's try to dive into the world of video blogging.
Step
Step 1. Choose a topic to vlog
You can vlog on any topic, as long as your vlog isn't boring, offensive, or illegal. Look for inspiration from other vloggers, such as Ria Ricis, Arief Muhammad (Poconggg), Laurentius Rando, or Kemal Palevi. In order for your vlog to be successful, create content that is unique and fits your identity. Don't copy content from other vlogs.
Step 2. Create a YouTube channel with a catchy name
Make sure you choose your username carefully, as random usernames won't attract viewers.
Step 3. Make at least 10 good and interesting videos
When you first start a vlog, upload videos every day. After that, you can upload videos every other day if you want. Make an effort to upload videos regularly, because viewers will check your channel according to your schedule for uploading videos.
Step 4. Upload video response for famous related videos
That way, the video will get at least one-fifth of the views of the original video. The Awesomeness TV channel on YouTube lets you post video responses to their How to be a YouTube Star video series.
Step 5. Become an active YouTube member
Your channel won't be seen if you post a video every few years. Use capital letters in video titles to attract viewers. If possible, try to schedule a specific day to upload the video. To become a vlogger, upload at least 3-4 videos per week. If you're having trouble making videos, try making one video per week.
Step 6. Edit your video
A well-edited video will hold the viewer's interest. Read the guide to using the video editing software you have. Windows computers include Windows Movie Maker, Apple computers provide iMovie, and Android phones have the Movie Maker app.
Step 7. When learning to edit videos, also set banners, video thumbnails, and avatars
If you've been accepted as a YouTube Partner, you can use a variety of new options for editing videos, one of which is using custom video thumbnails. You can customize your avatar easily, but if you want to upload a banner, you'll need to select and edit the image to make it the right size. When editing, make sure you include cool text, face photos, and backgrounds.
Step 8. Once you have a good reputation in the YouTube community, try signing up to become a YouTube Partner
To register, your video must have been viewed at least a few thousand times. Once you become a YouTube Partner, you can earn money by allowing YouTube to show ads on your videos. That's how vloggers make money from their videos. In addition, videos from YouTube Partners will also appear more often in search results.
Step 9. Communicate with your followers
Don't ignore followers. Take time to reply to comments, messages, and video responses you receive. This way, you will leave a good impression on your followers, and your followers will be happy about it too.
Tips
- Set up Facebook and Twitter accounts to interact with followers and keep them informed of content updates. You can also share images on both social networking sites.
- Do not send video links carelessly as this could be considered a spam attempt. Try asking your friends to share information about your channel. Before sending a video link to someone's channel, make sure you're on good terms with that person first.
- Don't worry if you don't have followers yet. All successful vloggers started their channel from scratch.
