Freelance Video Vlogging

If you want to learn how to start a vlog (video blog), then you’re in the right place.

Video blogging (vlogging) has become increasingly popular over the past decade with the rise of super-fast broadband, affordable recording equipment, and high-powered computers that can handle video editing with ease. Not to mention the fact that YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world with a whopping 5.5 billion monthly users.

Many people would rather watch a video than read a lengthy blog post—and in some niches, video content makes a lot more sense. Watching someone demonstrate a cake decorating technique, for instance, is a lot easier than trying to figure it out from written instructions.

A video blog consists primarily of videos, usually released at set intervals (e.g. one new video each week).

Most video blogs exist as YouTube channels—for reasons that we’ll come onto in a moment. These are often supported through a website or blog that has posts sharing new videos, often with some written content to support them.

The main differences between a vlog and a regular primarily written blog are:

The type of content, obviously. If you don’t like writing or struggle to write well, a vlog is going to work much better for you than a regular blog.
Where you host your content. If you’re writing a regular blog, you can host everything with your web hosting company. But with a vlog, you’ll need to host your videos separately (you could then embed them into a regular blog or website).

Effective vlogs are generally short and personal. In most cases, a vlog entry shouldn't be too short (less than two minutes) or too long because these extremes might dissuade viewers. However, on Youtube specifically, some creators have reported that videos 10 minutes or longer produce the best outcomes.

The goal is to post frequently and authentically. It's better to post a half-dozen times per week with a webcam or your phone camera than to post twice a month but emphasize studio-quality glossiness.
