Vlogging is also an excellent way for businesses and entrepreneurs to market their products or services, but it's also just a great hobby that anyone can do, so don't feel like you have too much going on in your life if you want to start vlogging!
Establishing a strong presence on social media is a daunting task. It requires some amount of creativity, time, and patience. You need to come up with an idea that will not only resonate with your audience but also get them hooked. Here are seven tips on how to get started:
Start small
Don’t try to produce videos that require high-end equipment right out of the gate. Start with basic video and work your way up the food chain gradually.
Choose an appropriate topic
It's important to know what you're going to talk about ahead of time and take your audience into consideration. If you know a lot about the topic, you can spend hours talking about it.
Grab attention from the word go:
The first few seconds in any video matter the most because it sets the tone for the viewer. Don’t make them wait to get their bearings!
Get personal
Most people watch a video because they want to know that person on the other side of the camera is just like me, a friend or neighbor. Make your videos relatable to human interactions and not just about a topic you are passionate about.
Tell a story
Instead of making a list of the ingredients in your recipe, make it a story. Have an interesting dialogue or monologue and let the viewer watch you come up with your recipe, brainstorm it with friends and family, shop for ingredients and ultimately make the dish.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help
If you have never filmed before, or you are just not great at it, ask for help! You can always find someone to help you out or a friend with a camera who will be willing to.
Show the process
Get good at showing the process in your videos. Depending on how long you want your video to be, tell the audience what is happening in each step and give them clear instructions of how to complete the task.
Conclusion: Share yourself
Vlogging is a great way to connect with your audience on a more personal level. It helps the viewer feel like they know you better and that you are more accessible.
The most important thing about vlogging is that it's not about showing off what you have, but rather sharing something of yourself with others.
