Vlogging is really, really hard. Not everyone can do it. Hell, I can't do it. Vlogging is about personality and being creative with camera angles. I don't think it is enough to just sit in front of a camera and talk about your day. Scripting and editing is a significant part of creating a successful vlog. <BR/><BR/>Another aspect of vlogging involves self-promotion, which Lindsay Campbell states. You have to put your name out there on every social networking site, blog or Web site so you can get hits. You can have this beautifully edited vlog with witty monologue, but if no one sees it, who cares?<BR/><BR/>Vlogging can be a career if a person knows how to put the product together and how to promote themselves. Perhaps that is why Bre Petis said to make friends with musicians. What other career is about shameless self-promotion? You can learn a lot about promotion practices from musicians. <BR/><BR/>On a final note, I agree with the statement that the web isn't a second class medium. It is a viable outlet that is still being explored, which why people don't put as much stock in multimedia such as vlogging. That is changing and these people are obviously part of the movement.MairaLGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15345034701503193658noreply@blogger.com
