Vlogging FAQs

We answer some of your vlogging-related questions with advice on how to get started and how to monetise your vlogs.

  • What does vlogging mean?

    Vlogging, a term derived from combining 'video' and 'blogging', is a form of blogging that primarily uses video content to communicate a message or story. It's a unique way to share your perspective, ideas or experiences with the world. From personal diaries and travel logs to how-to guides and product reviews, vlogging can cover a vast range of topics. It's a creative medium that allows you to express yourself, build a community and even forge a career. The beauty of vlogging lies in its versatility, inclusivity and the closer connection it fosters between the vlogger and the viewer.

  • How do I start vlogging on YouTube?

    Starting a vlog on YouTube can be a thrilling journey, no matter your level of expertise. Here are a few steps to get you started.

    1. Decide on your vlogging niche or topic. It should be something you are passionate about and interested in sharing.
    2. Invest in good quality equipment such as a Canon vlogging camera to ensure your video quality matches your content's value.
    3. Set up your YouTube channel and personalise it with a unique banner and logo.
    4. Start filming your first vlog, keeping it simple and authentic. Remember, the key is consistent content, so plan and create a regular upload schedule.
    5. Optimise your videos for search with keywords, engaging titles and thorough descriptions. Engage with your viewers by responding to comments and asking for feedback. Don't forget to promote your vlogs on your other social media channels.

    Remember, the journey of vlogging is a marathon, not a sprint; so take your time, have fun, and let your personality shine through.

  • How can I make money vlogging?1

    Making money from vlogging starts with consistently producing engaging content that resonates with your viewers. As you build an audience, various monetisation avenues open up.

    Sponsorships and brand partnerships offer another income source; businesses often pay vloggers to showcase their products or services in videos. Affiliate marketing, where you earn a commission on products sold through links in your video description, is another common method. Additionally, crowdfunding platforms enable dedicated fans to support your work financially in exchange for bonuses such as early access to content.

    Finally, selling merchandise or leveraging your expertise to offer online courses or consultation services can provide extra income. Remember, while monetisation is a vital aspect of vlogging, focusing on creating valuable and authentic content should naturally lead to growth and financial opportunities.
