Though its prevalence is always touted as making it easy to bring in views, I think it really means you are one tiny speck in an avalanche of uploads.\u00a0 Sorry to be so cynical, I mean, practical.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It’s incredibly difficult to stand out.\u00a0 We’re here to help!<\/p>\n
Here are six Vlogging tips to help you have a successful YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
Videos wouldn’t be complete without titles. The title is one of a viewer’s deciding factors on whether to watch. The title needs to be both appealing to the potential viewer.\u00a0 One strategy is to go with a title full of accurate, highly-searched keywords, so it will come up when people are looking.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, that can be boring.\u00a0 In creating a title, don’t create plain and traditional one. You must create a catchy, straightforward or intriguing, informative title. A good title will pique your audience’s’ interest.<\/p>\n
Choosing the right style and tone for your Vlog is usually the most difficult part of the process. This is because you have to align it into your niche, the audiences’ interest (and yours), and latest trends online.
\nOn YouTube, there are three popular styles of video content for Vlog and those are:<\/p>\n
People search online because they want information information that can either help them solve a problem or make creating a decision easier.

Everybody loves to be entertained! This is everyone’s way to relax their mind and somehow forget all the stress they have encountered for the day.<\/p>\n
So if your Vlog’s main purpose is to showcase your talent in sketching, or daily life experiences, comedy animated videos or reality TV-like videos are some of the best formats to use.\u00a0 Reality TV shows are produced in a way I call documentary style.<\/p>\n
If you’re a professional in a certain field and the main purpose of your Vlog is to share your expertise, educational is the best format to use.<\/p>\n
Educational doesn’t necessarily mean boring.\u00a0 An educational format may sound boring with all its technical terminologies and data and it can be but you can also make your videos lively and appealing by including relevant music and design.\u00a0 Visual storytelling is your friend.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Educational differs from informative in that it is typically more academic in style and more likely to be created by actual instructional systems designers.<\/p>\n
For best results, all videos should actually be as entertaining and informative as possible.\u00a0 YouTube just likes stuff in categories.\u00a0 You should do your best to fit into how these categories have evolved, so reaearch before you commit.<\/p>\n
Just like in any other careers, success always lies in the quality of work.<\/p>\n
In Vlogging, your content AND video must have the highest quality possible. Yes! They both must have high quality because no matter how amazing your brilliance, if your video has a poor technical quality, you will have a much harder time getting your audience’s attention.<\/p>\n
Do this on a regular basis –\u00a0 uploading high-quality videos –\u00a0 is an essential step for securing loyal fans to your channel.<\/p>\n
