Start a Daily YouTube Vlog

Daily YouTube Vlogging can be a great way to earn money, pass the time or even inspire yourself to try new things. It may sound intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes a routine that you grow to enjoy.

Steps

  1. Get a good camera. A clear camera will maintain your video quality. Make sure it has good enough sound. There are various vlog-specific products out there such as the Sony Vloggie or Flip Camera.
  2. Film your day! Whether it be what you do all day or just a part of your day, film it. Make sure you speak clearly and try not leave too much silence in your footage.
  3. Edit! This is the hardest step. There are many programs which can be used. Stick to Windows Movie Maker or another basic editing software unless you have editing experience. A more detailed software is Sony Vegas. If you have a Mac computer, you can use a program called IMovie
  4. Upload! Get a YouTube account. Make sure it has an attention-grabbing name (this will ensure that you get the most views).
  5. Promote! Tell your friends. Share it on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Make it a video response. Get the word out that your video exists and reap in the viewers.
  6. Monetize! If you get enough views, YouTube may ask you if you want to monetize your videos. Be aware that you cannot monetize videos with copyrighted material so if you plan to monetize your videos, stay away from including this content in your videos.

Tips

  • Get your own style, being original will keep people viewing your videos.
  • Don't film everything that happens in your day, keep it focused on the highlights.
  • Having an intro and outro to your videos will make them seem more professional and organised.
  • Check out other users for ideas: Some examples are www.youtube.com/365dv, www.youtube.com/CTFxC

Warnings

  • People you may know might not want to be filmed so respect their decision.
  • Don't film anything illegal or personal. Remember anyone can watch your videos so including personal information (car number plate, house address, etc) is a bad idea.
