Step 3: How long will your episodes be?
How long your episodes are should depend largely on the type of vlog you are making.
If you are doing beauty tutorials or product reviews, it is probably best to keep each post
to less than 10 minutes because lengthy episodes might discourage viewership. For
these types of videos, audiences are looking for quick tips. If you are doing gaming walk-
throughs, a lengthier episode is probably a good idea.
Step 4: How often do you want to post?
Think quality not quantity! It is better to put out a well-planned video weekly than a daily
video that doesn’t really have much to say. As you get more experienced at vlogging,
you may be able to up your frequency without sacrificing quality. No matter what you
decide, be consistent on when and how often your upload videos. You audience might lose
interest if they are never sure when you’re going to post.
Step 5: Before you begin recording, outline what you will be doing and practice! To make
sure that you cover everything and don’t leave key information out, you should create a
script or make easy-to-follow notes. Be sure to read through it several times so that you
don’t spend all of your camera time looking down at a piece of paper. The more prepared
you are, the less editing or reshooting you will have to do.
