Step 6: Check your equipment and make sure your battery is fully charged before you
start filming. Also, do a test run to check the lighting and sound. Natural or warm lighting
is usually best, but the only way to know what will work for you is to experiment.
As you film, look into the lens. You want to make eye contact with your viewer. If you are
moving around during your vlog, be sure to stay within the camera’s viewing range.
It takes time to build up an audience for your vlog posts, so it’s important to be patient
and not get discouraged! There are a few steps though that you can take to get your vlog
some attention.
Step 7: Promote your vlog on social media sites like Instagram or Twitter using hashtags
that are both relevant and popular.
Step 8: Find other vlogs that appeal to you and leave comments that include a link to
your own posts. Make sure that your comments are thoughtful, courteous and relevant.
Posting a link to your vlog with no other commentary will not encourage others to check
out your work, it will just look like spam so people will avoid it.
Step 9: Include a fun (but brief) description with your vlog post that will draw viewers to
click play. This description is a great place to put helpful links that relate to the content
of the post.
Step 10: Have Fun! Blogging and Vlogging should be fun. It’s a great way to spend time
with friends and make new ones. Enjoy what you do and it will be much easier.
