Your first Vlogs
You want to start vlogging, but what should you do? How about your first Vlog? Here are a number of ideas that help you a hand.
1. Say “hello” to your audience
Start with an introductory video if this is your first vlog ever! Say a little about yourself to your (potential) viewers. What you do, what the vlogging channel aims to do, and what you want to achieve.
You are still a complete newbie for your viewers on the internet. That’s why you must tell them who you are before they find your vlogs are interesting enough to subscribe.
2. Reasons you want to Vlog
Everything happens for a reason. There must be reasons why you want to do Vlog, and this is a great time to explain your decision to start your channel.
You might want to become famous, or you want to share with everyone helpful advice, etc.
The following Vlog is an excellent chance to capture and share memories of your life, especially when you’re unsure what to talk about.
3. Your future Vlog plans
Tell your viewers where your channel is going to do in the future. How often do you expect to upload and achieve with your channel? What type of videos will you upload? Etc.
4. Overcome struggles
We are all facing, or we successfully handled our struggles.
Mentioning how you defeat these challenges is a great way to connect with your audience as a human. Try them out and see what reaction people have.
Personal life
Vlogging is personal, but it’s also possible to focus on particular topics such as beauty, fitness, or music. These vlog ideas target what your audience can learn more about you.
5. Share your objectives
What are your life objectives? What are you aiming to get in your career? Where do you want to travel or live? What do you hope to achieve?
We’ve got stuff that we all aim for, and they tell us a lot.
6. Your bucket list
The bucket list is a list of certain things we want to do. Many people have their lists to direct their lives easier. What about you? What’s yours?
You can share with viewers your list and ask them back about their bucket list.
7. A tour around your room or house
Your viewers usually only see one camera angle, and they can’t see the rest of your room or house.
As they are pretty curious, why don’t you spend a Vlog showing everyone your room or house? This will bring you and your audience closer.
You can also create a video showing your setup or devices you use in the production process if you run a game or technology-related channel.
8. Your morning and night activities
How are you preparing for work or school in the morning? Or what do you wind down at night before you go to bed?
We all have our habits. It’s fun to tell people about it and to learn about others as well.
9. One particular day
Your vlogs compile your highlights most of the time, but why don’t you record your full-day once?
Try to capture as much footage as you can from the time you wake up. This gives your audience a deeper insight into how a typical day in your life is, as they never see that in your vlogs.
10. Drawings of my life
Drawings of my life is a video in which you tell your life story by drawing it.
You don’t need to be good at drawing. The drawings are only illustrations to make your vlog more fun and entertaining to watch.
It’s easier if you have a small whiteboard with non-permanent markers. But you can also draw your life in your vlog with only a pen and paper.
11. Fun fact about you
Create a list of interesting and surprising facts about you, which you pick to tell your viewers.
For example, you can share what food you are allergic to, what bad/good habits you usually do, etc.
12. Tell your audience a story
One of the easiest to love things is sharing an incredible, funny, frightening, and interesting moment you experienced.
They might be anything such as the first time you meet your best friend, or the first time you travel alone, or how you overcome your first tragedy in your life, etc.
Consult your parents, siblings, or friends if you have no idea. Who knows, they can come up with several funny stories.
13. A rant vlog
You can also talk about a subject you are intensely interested in, such as sport, hobbies, school or anything else.
14. Your top [number] favorite [topics]
Create a video of your favorite activities, films, music, or anything. The best way is to make a top five or top ten videos to explain why you like these films, music, products, etc.
For example, you can talk about your top 5 favorite movies or tv dramas.
15. Your less favorite things
That’s contrary to your previous vlog concept. Instead of mentioning your favorite things, you can talk about the opposite of things you don’t like.
For example, which are the worst films or television series you ever see? Why are they so bad? Why are they so dull?
16. Share your skill or talent
Make a video about your unique talent or your astonishing ability. Remember, it doesn’t have to be unique.
Singing, playing an instrument, or drawing a funny picture is a good start.
17. Behind the scenes
Your audience usually sees your complete vlog version, but they don’t know how much work a video does. So, making a behind-the-scenes vlog is such an interesting new thing for your audience.
18. Event coverage
If you go to a cool event such as a concert, a football match, or a festival, take your camera, record that event, and share it with your audience.
Amusing vlogs
Consider these if you’re looking for ideas to make your viewers laugh!
19. Prank vlogs
Pranks are always good on YouTube and tend to get plenty of views and subscribers.
You can search on Youtube to see prank videos with many likes and comments on Youtube.
Just remain the pranks fun for all involved.
20. Challenges
Challenges are another great way to enhance your Vlog channel. They’re fast and easy to capture; they only take little time but firmly hook your viewers’ feelings.
You can refer to some YouTube challenges to ignite your ideas.
21. Reaction videos
Vlogs responding to “something” are always well received and can be funny to watch on YouTube.
You can record a vlog of you watching, then reacting to some old videos, your Youtube comments, tweets you receive, funny or scary videos.
22. Parody
While it’s hard to get right, a parody of a movie, music clip, or video from famous people can be a fun choice.
If your vlog is popular then, it will gain a lot of new subscribers.
Vlogs of information
“You can learn new things from anyone you meet.”
Vlogging is an excellent way to share and learn new information. Tell the world about your new knowledge that you learn from people you meet.
23. “How to..” Vlogs
“Everyone needs good advice.”
That’s why you should create some “how to” and tutorial vlogs to share helpful knowledge with viewers if you’re expertise in certain subjects.
It also works particularly well if your Vlog channel targets a certain niche.
Most people search on YouTube if they need assistance with something. This means they will tend to use one of your “how-to” videos to figure out their problems.
24. Review something
We all watch television series, movies, listen to music, play games, read books, and buy new products and services. To find the best ones, they might need someone to review them.
Share with your audience your feedback on all these things. What you like and don’t like about them.
