The vlog theme is very popular and an easy way to get started in creating videos. All you need is your phone's camera or a camcorder and you can get started.
A wide variety of subjects can be undertaken in any vlog and it's probably the most popular source of content on YouTube today. These subjects, sometimes referred to as "niches" can lend themselves to stories, and that is what you need to retain viewers for your vlog; story.
- You might have a bit of difficulty getting started with story ideas to shoot, but do not worry. Just get some ideas going and you'll be on your way. Ideas for story along these lines tend to perpetuate new ideas for more stories.
