As you may know recently I have decided to re-start up my youtube channel. This is my second one as my first was rather childish, sad and rather dickish.
So a fresh start I guess kinda … Well Now anyways I have recently been trying to think of ideas for good videos, that people would enjoy and keep coming back for more content. While also subscribing to your channel and following you on other networks. (which is handwork these days aha)
Here is my most recent video so you can see how much iv grown up ... or not :3
So here is my little guide on how to blog and film good content! (these are Ideas that have been recommended, researched or tested)
First of all find what bloggers and youtubers you enjoy the most. As you may want to follow in their foot steps.
For me my favourite bloggers and youtubers at the moment are Helen Anderson who mostly does youtube about her life, her band and fashion but has daily blogs on the side.
Zoe London the quirky, brightly haired youtuber and blogs about her life, fashion, DJing and activities surrounding her London life.
Ellie James who is a cute ass Red haired youtuber who I can relate too so much! She has very down to earth videos about her life and things she finds interesting.
Leanne Woodfull is a blogger iv been aware of but never really looked into until recently, I love her style as I can relate to it with my own! She blogs about fashion, her travels and mostly her lifestyle.
So from looking at the bloggers I follow I enjoy fashion and lifestyle kind of blogs and videos that involve how to video’s, tutorials on makeup, dying hair etc…, a day in a life video, experience videos such as getting a tattoo done, outfit posts… you get the idea.
So now you have found what you enjoy watching and reading yay! I know this might sound silly but don’t forget to write about things you enjoy and use yourself. You can give a personal review of the item if it be clothing or not. I would also say don’t forget to be yourself as people enjoy personality behind the video, blog post or photo. For me I love the videos which are in the life of … as it shows a personal view of the world from that persons eyes. Down to how they edit the video, what they add and take away from it too.
With most blog posts you need photos that is going to invite your audience in to go hmm I want me some more! Using a fun, quirky and unique photo that clearly shows off what your talking about helps. If its a product you are showing off by using different colours i.e. 3 different coloured sunglasses arranged on a tropical background or showing how you would use the product in one photo would work really well too. These photos can be shared across different media platforms to build up excitement and awareness of you post.
For videos it is a little harder as you need to explain what your video is about in a thumbnail. A great way to get audiences attention and get them eagerly awaiting your new video by posting the videos thumbnail a few days before you launch the video on your Facebook, Instagram, twitter page to draw in attention. A great idea is to have a day in which you upload your video each week for instance Friday is a great day, as its just before the weekend. It is also good for your audience to know when a new video would be coming up so they can check your page and youtube when you post regally.
To keep people coming back its great to have good content and ideas but unless you post and upload regally then people will get confused and mishmashed about your blog and youtube and be uncertain when your going to post or blog. If you post regally and have a schedule it is friendlier towards the user. I am no saint to sticking to a schedule unfortunately as well life gets in the way aha! But man bloggers and youtubers know this to well.
I also would recommend looking into a decent layout for your blog as you don't want to have the same standard blog design that blogger gives you. Choose something that is you! Something that stands out to you and SCREAMS that me! I love the layout I have as its simple and to the point. It's not overly cluttered and in your face.
