You need a camera with image stabilization or a tripod to record stable videos. A stable video is much more comfortable to watch for your followers. A tiltable screen is also useful, so you can see yourself while you record. Read how to choose a vlog camera below. The sound is another important factor. With an external microphone, you improve the sound quality of your videos. You can place a windscreen on your microphone to prevent noise in your recording, for example. Your vlog will look professional as a result.

What you record the vlog with isn't the most important part. Editing your video is what completes it. Make a fun intro by adding animations, for example. You can also add background music to make your video more lively. Note: you can't use just any music, as you have to deal with copyrights. Get your music from a website with royalty-free music.

Before you record a vlog, think about the content. Choose a subject to vlog about. Want to you want to tell your followers? What makes your content different compared to that of other vloggers? Try to make vlogs you can't already find on YouTube. In addition to that, share your videos on set days and times. This way, your followers know what to expect. The quality is more important than the quantity.

If you're a smooth talker, you'll look likeable in your videos. You can easily talk nonsense for 1.5 minutes, without a script. The trick is to keep your followers' attention. Look straight at the camera and not at the screen. In addition to verbal communication, non-verbal communication is also important. Check your posture and facial expressions and test what your followers like and don't like by experimenting.

if you use SEO, you're easier to find via search engines like Google and YouTube. This also applies to videos. Use common keywords in the description and title of your video, for example. You can find keywords via Google Analytics. A distinctive title ensures that people want to watch your video. You should also share your video via various channels. The more links lead to your video, the better your YouTube ranking will be.

If you interact with your audience in your videos, you keep their attention. Being in contact with them increases the chance they'll continue to follow you. And you make the relationship between you and more followers more personal. You can also call them to action. Have them subscribe to your YouTube channel or ask for feedback in the comments, for example. This way, your followers stay informed on the vlogs you make.
