Last video we talked about developing your
video blogging why, and letting that determine what you will talk about. Okay, so now you know why, and you've got
your what... but your still not sure how? I'm Ben from the Vlog Pod. It may not be something you've thought about
until now, but HOW you are going to deliver your video blogs can a pretty important thing
to consider. I'm not talking here about how you're going
to record the content, what cameras to use and that sort of technical stuff. That
, we can talk about another time. What I am talking about is the manner in which
you plan to deliver your content, and this can be influenced by a number of different
aspects. The first thing to consider is how do you
want to be perceived by your audience. The way your audience will engage with you
will be affected by how you come across. My advice is to always be yourself, be comfortable
with who you are and consider your video blog recording session in the same way you would
a new client meeti
ng. Sure, you may be recording your video blogs
at night, after your kids have gone to bed and the home office is finally quiet, but
should you really be doing it in your gym shirt and 5 oclock shadow? Next, be confident. This is a tricky one for a lot of people when
placed in front of a camera but the truth is, you are an expert in what you do, the
vast majority of people who will view your videos will want to hear what you have to
say, and you need to be confident and sure of yourself. Finally
, don't sweat the small stuff. Remember that video blogs needs to be genuine
and real, not over-rehearsed and staged. Writing a script is important for sure, but
don't worry about the occasional stumble over a word or mispronunciation. What -- you're not perfect... good, neither
am I ☺ And the old adage certainly rings true here... Practice makes perfect, so go out there, start
recording your video blogs and keep them coming, the only way to get more comfortable, confident
and genuine, is to get
started. Why not leave a link to your video blog in
