How to Become a Vlogger and Make Money

Below here I have tried my best, to instruct you all of the guidelines you will need to know about vlogging and making money.

Choose/Select your content:

You are interested in starting a vlog, but you don’t have any idea about the topic; which content should you pick for your niche, or it might be possible; you have an idea, but not sure if that is going to work or not? And if you are nodding your head, so you are not alone, many face this problem.

Don’t quit because of it; I will cover almost all of the questions bouncing in your head. The purpose of a vlog is to share your thoughts with people on social networks. So why don’t you?

Here are 4 pro tips you should follow to pick your niche:

First, pick a topic that you love about talking or doing.
Next step is to do the market research and make sure that your research market is profitable and there is a big enough market for your content.
Next, select a smaller niche.
Lastly, make sure that your content is profitable.

Define your VLOG channel purpose:

The next step is to do enough research on your vlog and decide on the content you want to start a vlog. Then you should be cleared of these answers:

What are you going to do in your videos?
Will your vlog be worthy?
What are you going to deliver in your vlog?

Vlogging is a hybrid of spontaneity and everyday activities so that you can vlog your these activities involve tutorials (make-up, hairstyle, hijab), cooking, unboxing, exercising, and a lot more.

Now, you might be thinking that, What if people get bored of my daily activities videos? So my answer is that it is a fact that people prefer to watch other people’s lives that they can relate to.

If you want to stick to a specific topic, but finding difficulty in making videos, go and look at other vloggers and draw inspiration from them.

Watch out for the other vloggers:

Before starting your vlog channel, I recommend you look at other vloggers or star vloggers, don’t get depressed by watching their success; I am telling you to do so because it will help you start your vlog, it will give you some new ideas. And you will get to know that how they are working and making a vlog. So it’s my advice to you to watch hours of the vloggers as it helps you out on the time management that how the vloggers are doing and what they are doing.

Be consistent and patient:

The most important task after you start your vlog is to be patient. Don’t be in the hustle bustle to gain subscribers and success. Success is not something you achieve overnight, it takes time, so you have to be patient and focused. And the result will be worthy as you wanted, but it will take time. You shouldn’t be overwhelmed by watching other vloggers’ success rates; they have not reached there just in a day, they have waited for months and even years to get there. So you also have to show some consistency during your journey of becoming a vlogger and making money.

Stay an Active vlogger:

When you have got your audience, it’s obvious that you don’t want to lose them. So, for this, you have to stay focused and active on your channel. Upload your videos with consistency so it will make your audience stick with you.

Don’t disappoint your audience; if you are dormant for a while, let your audience know it. You have to deliver what your fans are demanding and make sure the content is good quality, entertaining, and informative. By taking care of these, your subscribers grow with your vlog library.

Equipment’s for vlogging:

To start a successful vlog, you need to have top quality pieces of equipment for your video coverage. Below here I have listed all of the types of equipment you need in vlogging:

When you begin vlogging, you need a good quality camera that records standard video. And make sure it is of HD quality for excellent viewing capability and easy to use.

Tripod:

A tripod stand will help you make a steady video and help in the best shoot possible.

Lighting:

When recording a vlog, natural light is not enough; you will need a lighting system. The lighting system will help you look better, and it also takes the best shoot of videos.

Editing software:

The last and the most crucial task are to edit your video, for which you need excellent editing software so that it will cover up all of your flaws easily without letting know the audience. Editing software is necessary because your viewers don’t want to see your rambling, so cut these off and make a brief video as possible.

So you have to find a place where you can put your phone quickly, and your phone must be placed must place your phone at your face height. And your phone should be in a stationary state as the viewers don’t want to watch a shaky video.

Look at the camera not the screen of phone

I have seen a lot of vlogs in which people are looking at the screen rather than the lens of the camera; it makes the viewer feel strange. I know it is a bit weird to talk to a tiny black, but I assure you your audience will thank you for it. While you are filming your vlog, you must be careful that your eyes should be looking at the camera of the phone, not the screen. It is an essential thing in the shooting.

A taking home message;

If the screen is distracting you, you can put a card over your phone screen to focus on the camera.

Gaining likes on your videos:

You have to ask your audience to like your videos because like is the key component to earn money from YouTube. YouTube algorithm works on the way how many likes you get from your channel. So if you are gaining likes regularly, YouTube knows that viewers like your videos and enjoy them.

Ask your audience to subscribe to your videos:

It is essential to get subscribers to form your audience base. Your videos are watched by many people and also shared on social media. So ask these casual viewers to subscribe to your videos. The more subscribers you get, it is possible that the more companies will be looking at you to gain visibility from their products with your vlog.
