It´s Easy

Vlogging can be fairly easy and simple if you want it to be. Not just that, it can be fun too!

There´s no been a simpler time than right now, we have advanced tech gear at our disposal, free tutorials all over YouTube and social media, even free software that we can manage whatever we want to edit cool clips and make awesome videos.

You can simply talk about your hobbies or some particular area of expertise and deliver great (well-packaged) information to the masses.

With the help of our phones, we can record a good looking video in a matter of minutes, cut it down to the best parts and upload a helpful dynamic content to the internet.

Give it a try, you can even pick it up as a hobby. Makes the whole process a lot easier. Getting rid of some pressure can be helpful to focus on the content, the way you want to film your videos, or even what you want to talk about.

You can discover the path as you go, go through the motions, focus on the process not the finish line.

Builds Trust

By just looking at your face people can relate much more than reading a blog, or even listening to a podcast, a video is powerful.

Much more powerful when it comes to building trust with your audience and builds great relationships.

As long as you show an authentic self-people will listen to you and empathize with your content effectively.

Being a vlogger is about sharing, sharing your knowledge, your day to day grind, maybe your struggles, whatever you want, as long as you keep it real and in one way or another helpful. (and if possible entertaining)

A Boost of Confidence

Once you´ve been vlogging for a little while you´re going to get cocky!

Well, not exactly but you get what I mean. If you try to constantly improve your craft you´ll get a boost of confidence, let me tell you why…

The fact that you are talking to thousands of people around the world and that they start to engage with you and your content is a big shift in anyone’s life.

Let me rectify this, it doesn´t mean you turn into an as*hole but more like you´ll improve your ability to talk to people, to talk at the camera in the middle of the street in plain daylight, your speech will get better.

There´s a certain magic to it. Once you´ve taken this path and seen some sort of success with it you´ll never turn back.

Create a Brand

One of the most gratifying and surprising benefits of being a vlogger is that you can create and build an awesome brand.

Logo, name, catchphrase, the whole thing. You can sell t-shirts, your own online courses, electronics, mugs with your logo on it, whatever you like!

The truth is that nowadays anybody can triumph on the internet, but the real catch is that most people don´t want to put in the work and effort it requires, because now things are not that easy, there´s competition almost everywhere.

Now, if you want to deliver a helpful message, make a nice and easy digestible load of content, and create a great video to do it then you´re on the right track.

Content is still king and one of the best you have at your disposal to create a name for yourself.

Benefits your Business

If you already have a business that´s up and running then you should try vlogging too! Greater exposure and more viewership can only mean one thing, growth!

It is, by far, one of the best marketing strategies there is. In today´s world people want to connect, and reading a blog doesn´t do the trick as well as it used to, we want to be able to actually see you teach us, or show us what your craft is all about.

Following your day to day can be a really powerful thing if you want to improve your brand and business image. It can certainly help to expand your current customer base.

The smaller and specialized the niche the less competition you´ll have. That way you´ll accelerate your growth exponentially.

¡There Are No Limits!

If everything we´ve already talked about is not enough then consider being an internet celebrity and making a real living with a successful online career.

Yes, owning a Vlog can also prove to be an unlimited resource.

Whether is to get your music known, your business, some skill you have, or just share your weird hobbies to see how many people share it too, vlogging can be really powerful.

You can add your own website to your YouTube channel, upload some videos there and others in your own Blog.

The possibilities are truly remarkable!

Now, keep in mind that the more people you serve the more you grow, that´s the golden rule. The audience decides whether you triumph or not.

If you go and film selfish videos just to share your own opinion and thoughts but doesn´t provide any given value, then people are going to simply change the channel immediately, there is so much offer out there.

Improves Mental Health

According to LifeHack it also improves your mental health. It´s not like is going to cure any sort of medical condition but…

It can prove to be very effective to deal with mental illness by opening up with people and talking about your problems.

You can create a way of healing through this process and you can be an inspiration for other people dealing with the same issues. Build a community that can support and be for each other at times of struggle.

Make people aware of a condition so that they can support other that duel with the same situations. Consciousness is a powerful tool.

This can be the sole purpose of your entire vlogging channel, or just a part of it, spread awareness and help people that need a guide or maybe some actionable tips to apply in certain situations.

Earn Big

Well, getting into one of the most interesting aspects of vlogging is the potential income you can generate with this line of work.

The sky is really the limit in this case!

Building a big following can earn you a huge salary in the future if you do it right.

The key factor for success remains the same. Give your audience what they want, be helpful, entertain, don´t go about your life and what you like to do, usually nobody cares about that. (unless you´re a big YouTube celebrity already, that I´m guessing is not the case, right?)

Whether is through the Adsense program in YouTube, some sort of brand sponsorship, affiliate marketing and selling other people products and services, maybe some of your own, there are a number of way of monetizing your audience, that´s the easy part.

You just have to focus on providing real value through some kind of original content. That´s it. The rest will solve by itself.

The sole fact that you can do this and convert it to a full-time income gig should give you some level of comfort, right?

What are you waiting for?? 😉

Better Public Speaking Skills

A very useful and pragmatic ability you can develop by vlogging regularly is your public speaking skills. Yeah, that´s right, speaking in public is important.

There are many YouTubers that earn 6 figures by giving conferences, seminars, live courses about vlogging itself, YouTube, how to grow a channel, among many other subjects.

You´ll get better when expressing yourself and much more eloquent, precise. Cockier, if you will. 

You can be one of them. Adding this stream of wealth to your arsenal will prove to be another satisfying experience.

Travel Vlogging

And last but not least, you can travel and vlog at the same time. Basically, get paid while getting your feet wet in the ocean, literally.

For a very long time, common folks loved the beach fantasy (such a cliché). Getting to know the world and having a passive income of 6 or more figures a year, sounds quite good, right?

The truth is that nowadays that thing is actually possible. Well, no one is saying that is easy, but it´s certainly easier than a couple decades ago.

The internet is a beautiful thing, is it not?

Grab your backpack, get out your Go Pro and purchase a ticket plane, it is time to vlog!
