Valerie Lin. She's exceptional because she not only shares about her life, but her narrative style feels like poetry and her videos are so soothing to watch ♥
I like following people with unique lifestyles - Jetting Julia (flight attendant), Eva zu Beck (adventures on the road), Sailing LaVagabonde (life on a sailboat - with kids!), The Crew Chef (cooking for crew and guests on a mega yacht), and Kara and Nate (travel) are a few. Probably the most “normal” type blogger I follow is Shelby Church Vlogs and sometimes her sister Monica. Good vlogs can be hard to find sometimes so appreciate your advice!

"Now one cares about you." I heard this advice a few years ago and it changed my perspective completely with content creation. People want something for themselves. What is your audience getting out of it? Eventually, if you're lucky, they will start watching not just for the content, but for YOU.
You are right 🌹🌹who you are make people love you. For a long time my Channel doesn’t get subscribe much. However I start to post more about me, what I eat , doing exercise & my baby . More than my expect in 2 weeks I gain 600 subs. Which is amazing . Wishing everyone the best 🌹🌹🌹
The only vlogs I tend to watch have no talking in them at all. Just great storytelling told through beautiful peaceful footage, nice music, and subtitles. I can watch people do laundry and rake their gardens all day sometimes! My faves are Her 86m2 and Hamimommy. They are so good at it!
@@shinydays365 Same, Same!!! Although, I made my channel so that I can have something to look back on as time goes by. But these channel certainly inspired me to be more productive and aesthetic
Vlogs is what I mostly watch on TH-cam. For me, the vloggers I'm drawn to are those who align to my travel interests (e.g. Japan), silent ones (asian vloggers), hometown ones (vloggers in my city), and finally those where i simply find their life or personality unique or interesting to me. Editing and style are also important but not deal breakers
This is exactly what I came to realise. I had to understand that no one actually cares about me or what I do 😂 - so I changed my content to be a lot more informative and having the focus on what viewers will actually want to see. Of many people enjoyed the vlog content, but viewers ultimately want to be engaged - and since I’ve changed my focus/content, my channel has grown SO much in comparison to how it had been growing!
I finally figured out after all these years why my vlogs weren’t successful on my YT channel- it was boring and nobody cared but me 😂 I feel like vlogging is very successful on TikTok because 1 min long is more consumable. Thank you for your tips!
You're correct and I've seen lots of flourishing vlog channels. Viewers are hooked to their vlog style, editing style, bubbly personality or interesting/unique life.
About to film + edit my first vlog and this was SO incredibly valuable. Storytelling can be so intimidating but you broke it down in such a simplified way, thank you katie!!!
Yes I love this video! Once I stopped just vlogging my day-to-day life and started thinking more strategically about what I'm sharing and what people are going to get out of it that's when I started seeing more results!!
hi Katie, I've just watched your videos on vlogging, and I appreciate how real you are! You don't hash out the same old things every other youtube video says about vlogging, but rather, actual helpful and new tips. Thank you!!
I am only 2 years late hahaha but I really love and appreciate how you break things down. "you're not talking to an existing friend, you're talking to new friends" - this made a lot of sense and yes you have to be mindful that you will have new people stumbling on to your page. I've been vlogging on and off since 2016, to be honest I really love it but sometimes I think my content is a bit scattered. I've also had very varying success, some vlogs do AMAZING, some don't do well and sometimes maybe subconsciously that causes me to procastinate a bit. Super excited to learn more from you! Love from Australia
I am currently planning and preparing to start a TH-cam channel and am doing a lot of research for it. And I do think the whole "Nobody cares" topic is crucial. Your vlogs / stories should be showing something that is at least a little different from what the average person experiences or should document what life is like for a certain specific group of people in order to really engage viewers. What I mean by that is that most successful vloggers who document their life are e.g. living in a cabin in the woods or living in a van or have a specific career so they can show what a work day looks like in this career or are a student at an elite university so people are curious about what life is like there etc. etc. As Katie mentions in the video - you don't have to survive by yourself on a desert island, but your vlogs should contain aspects that are in some shape or form out of the ordinary - even if it's just taking a swim in a cold lake in winter or something that people are going to click on just because it's different from their own everyday life. It should be something that people will want to watch because maybe they wish their life could be like that or are working towards that. Of course there are many other aspects to it but ideally your vlogs should be something that not every single average person with a smartphone can effortlessly reproduce.
This is brilliant! Thank you for summing up exactly what we need to aim for. I'm going to keep referring back to your comment and strive to improve! 😀😁 ~ Mandy
Yeah, I’ve been learning how to get that story aspect down and now I’m challenging myself to start a vlog series instead of endlessly creating a stream of hauls, what I eat in a days, etc.
Part of the reason I love your videos is I feel that I get so much value from what you say. You don’t just tell us: for example, I didn’t understand the “and then” storytelling method you were talking about until you illustrated it with making a work vlog, and then I had a lightbulb moment! I’ve seen so much growth since I started watching your videos, and I feel like it’s because of explaining things in that accessible way. Thank you!
I do most of these on my vlogs, but I generally just think growing a vlog channel is kinda difficult. But when you eventually grow that community that loves you, you become a successful Vlogger It’s exhausting but I’d keep growing my channel
I heard it was nearly impossible to grow a vlog channel on TH-cam, but I didn't let that discourage me from trying! It hasn't been easy, but here we are, still at it after 3 years. I do think that having somewhat of an edutainment channel has helped. Thanks for this video, you did such a great job at explaining how to do better!
Figuring our how to make people care is so so important. I feel like a good way to do that is to get multiple perspectives & voices into your video ! It can really help start a conversation of anytime beginning in the actual video & hopefully to the audience once the video gets uploaded
Two things I think from hearing what you are saying. 1: How can I make my vlog relatable to my viewers (new and old). 2: How can I bring value to my viewers (new and old) Bonus: How can I combine the two to make a SUPER engaging video that always leaves my viewers coming away with something.
Yaaas 100% more vlogging tips and strategies please! There's a lot out there about the technical side of vlogging, but not enough on how to plan a vlog / your series of vlogs. I find it all hugely interesting on how to structure a story in a single vlog, but then also what is the bigger story narrative of you and your vlog channel (much like a TV show) Any strategic insights are much appreciated 🙏 Thanks for the valuable content!
I would love some more Vlogging strategies / seeing you analyze successful vlog channels. Thankfully since I’m in the authortube nitch I at least always have a “working toward this goal” narrative, but now that I’m transitioning to starting gradschool I know I have to take my channel in a new direction and am not entirely sure how to get there / the planning aspect is definitely tricky! Thanks for the great video:)
I loved the example you gave of the couple adventure channel. I immediately felt welcomed in their video from that brief recap. That's definitely something I could see myself incorporating in my art vlogs 🎨 Thanks so much for the tip!
This was great!! Gave me a lot to think about! It is crazy how you hear all the tips but then one will click and you can’t wait to implement it. Thanks!
The way you explain things makes everything click for me. I absolutely LOVED this video. So helpful!!! I have been doing all the things wrong, but just trying to get 1% better with each upload. I will be applying these tips to my channel.
'Find the story, in the truth of it." Excellent advice. I am grateful I have found your channel, Katie -- and I, very much, look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you. 💛
Loved this video and how informative it is! I agree with all your points. Storytelling not only is important to keep people watching your videos, but also it kind of adds value to your story (at least I like to see it in this way). It’s a chance to challenge your creativity, and add deeper thoughts and feelings to a “simple” video ✨
It's really true..making my channel interesting is really something I'm working on these days...because to be known to unknown is not something easily done...
We had been trying to grow as a vlogging channel for over a year and it wasn’t until we defined a clear purpose for our channel and for each video that we started to do well. Great advice!
Craig and Aimee truly are SO great at travel vlogging. I love their content and from a creator perspective I'm always in awe of how much work that takes.
As a newbie to TH-cam and being super anxious about everything I post, this video was very helpful because it's motivating and also gives great practical ideas! Looking forward to your next one. Sending love! 🤗💙
So helpful to see the story formula you identified. It makes sense that it would be much more interesting than just seeing someone go about their day. I’ve been considering how to add vlog elements to my channel sometime in the future and this gives me some great ideas. Thank you!
Been here binging your content. Thank you for all your advice this far. Definitely subscribed. ❤ Trying to get my channel to the next week. I took some great notes. I appreciate you, Katie.
This video was SO helpful Katie!! I love the detail you put into to helping your audience with genuine tips that can truly help our channels improve!!! You are so generous with the wisdom you share here, and I also love your video style! Thank you so much for making your videos :)
Great question -"how to make people care? ".Ask the right question to get the right results! Engage the audience - get them interested, and give them a reason to listen. Thank you for sharing such useful tips and tricks!
my personal fav vlogger rn is hazi bc she does mostly voiceless vlogs w captions n it feels rly uninterrupted (?) when i watch it n it rly helps keep me focused on the vid
Her 86m2 is REDICULOUSLY good. She has 1.42M subscribers! Its ridiculous and amazing. Also TheCottageFairy has 1.2M subs and she's great also - just discovered them both. Thank you for your video. great advice.
literally the best youtube video out there for vloggers who are just starting (like me!). amazing storytelling and totally changed my perspective on how to frame my future vlogs. THANK YOU KATIE ❤
My favorite part is when you break down the formula of how to structure the video so it tells a story - Yes! would love to hear more about this type of thing - bravo :)
Thank you for your absolutely GOLDEN advice. Engagement and keeping things interesting is definitely key for vlogs and I’m hoping I can find the niche that works best for me 😌💗
thank you so much for the helpful information! i just started a new vlog series on my channel and i learned some tips to implement in my videos. i realized just how much more goes into vlogs other than just editing and adding music to keep the viewer interested!
hey katie! thanks for these tips - i posted a video on my channel yesterday and it’s not doing well😂 i still plan to post videos on a weekly basis but i will try to remember what you said moving forward!
Thanks for the tips- really useful! We are just a gramma and grandpa living in rural Japan and I think where we live is an interesting and beautiful place! It’s trying to put the “beautiful and interesting” into videos that’s hard! One reason why we have our channel is so that when we are both passed away our children and grandchildren will have the videos. But we’d like others to enjoy them as well. TH-cam content creators have a hard job!
Wonderful video! I love the way you presented the content, and I’d love to see more about the analytic and CTR. I’m newly subscribed to your channel, and am looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Dang these tips were soo good. I would totally love more videos regarding this topic of starting youtube, vlogging and organizing your content/video to then film.
🖌🗒….I kinda started a Vlog during the winter just to see how it is. It’s not what I thought it was. I have so much respect for those bloggers. The amount of time, editing, holding the camera, storytelling and creative that’s place in these videos 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 truly RESPECT.
Thank you so much for the wonderful video Katie! I’m struggling with my vlog because I’m just putting everything together of my mundane and even myself am not excited about my vlog!! I’ll try to better organize my vlog to make it more like a story!!
Oh, That was sooo insightful and helpful! Thank you so much for sharing all this information and tips! I've been thinking of starting a vlog channel and this is all great to know from the getgo! Now I'm even more excited! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Love this 👍🏾💕 it was truly helpful! This was my first video I watched by you and now I’m subscribed and in freaking love brb while I binge watch the videosss…..✌🏾
This video is fabulous, thank you for making it. I love that you are not a constant product pusher, and your genuine nature shines through. I am currently planning my first TH-cam video and feeling quite overwhelmed indeed. Again, thank you.
Thank you so much for all of these tips! I want to learn more about storytelling as a vlogger. I feel like I'm just starting to get an inkling of how that would work and I'm excited to learn more!
That's the scary thing- finding out how to make people get something of value from watching your vlog. If you're a nobody and you're having a day in your life, people won't watch. Thank you for your tips! I'm saving you in the watch later, I'm gonna need to come back here for my vlogs 😹😹
Very useful advice, Katie! Thank you. I think I can nail the "and then" adjustment with a "No, Miles, no....!" theme regularly, which is quite authentic. My daily life is mostly like that. Intro: I have a plan today, mostly, I think. I hear: "I don't think you should do that, Miles!" (buildup), and then "Miles, I told you" (breakdown, maybe literally), and then, me again, with a conclusion: "I'll be back next time for you guys, my sadistic returners, and to the new ones who are wondering how it is possible for me to resolve this. I guess you can guess how it'll start...."
Just found this video and am thrilled with all the GEMS you shared in this video! Took a break on YT but will be returning better than before! Thanks for the great advice! Going to binge all your other videos now! 🤗💕
I do love hearing everyone’s perspective on this but to be honest I have been doing vlogs for about 5 years ( not consistently of course, just for fun ) I started my channel when my granddaughter was about 3 she is 8 now . But this was something I enjoyed doing like a hobby, but I realized when I would watch these types of videos it would make me discouraged and not enjoy what I once did . So to not drag this out , if your doing this expecting to earn a lot of money then your doing it for the wrong reason. Just remember love what your doing and be CONSISTENT , That’s my advice plus I do love this channel she always gives good tips , Happy Saturday 🌞
idk a lot of “big” vloggers never seem authentic, I much prefer vloggers who just talk to you like you’re their friend and flows like a FaceTime call, but to each their own (this was still useful advice tho!)
I include vlogs in as a part of, but not the focus of, my content. I posted one vlog and asked my subscribers if they would like to see more vlog regular content. They overwhelmingly said yes. I've been I'm a new TH-camr and I appreciate your recommendations for future reference.
This was an excellent video, thank you! Sometimes you have the pieces of the puzzle but need to know how to put them together.. You helped put them together😃
This was great! Very few of these cater to vloggers. And as a creator I feel like I get lost in the story line and forget to do the TH-cam specific things… like remind them who I am.
I like that intro idea because typically whenever a blog has an long intro I either skip forward or stop watching 😅😆 I feel bored once I see it over and over.
Loved this video, I’d love more TH-cam strategy videos! I’ve recently pivoted to lifestyle (decluttering, saving money) from sewing tutorials and my channel has suffered a lot!
that is so tough! a pivot is always going to be a bit of a challenge as your audience gets used to your new topics. i would really encourage you to just keep going with it though! if you'll be happier making your new content that's the most important thing, and it will just take time for the youtube algorithm / audience to get used to your new content :)
Thank you for your very simply explained tips. Easy to remember and not intimidating with bla bla bla… this is just a chillin way of teaching and guiding.
Okay but now I need to know who your favourite vloggers are!! I told y'all about Kinging It - I wanna know who's vlogs you love to watch!! ⬇️
Great content Katie! Vloggers I like : Newstate Nomads, Eat See Rv and Flora and Note.
Valerie Lin. She's exceptional because she not only shares about her life, but her narrative style feels like poetry and her videos are so soothing to watch ♥
I don't like volgs.
I've been enjoying Kelly Stamps lately. I don't know if Peter Draws is considered vlog but sometimes he releases videos that feel like vlogs.
I like following people with unique lifestyles - Jetting Julia (flight attendant), Eva zu Beck (adventures on the road), Sailing LaVagabonde (life on a sailboat - with kids!), The Crew Chef (cooking for crew and guests on a mega yacht), and Kara and Nate (travel) are a few. Probably the most “normal” type blogger I follow is Shelby Church Vlogs and sometimes her sister Monica. Good vlogs can be hard to find sometimes so appreciate your advice!

The only vlogs I tend to watch have no talking in them at all. Just great storytelling told through beautiful peaceful footage, nice music, and subtitles. I can watch people do laundry and rake their gardens all day sometimes! My faves are Her 86m2 and Hamimommy. They are so good at it!

Laughing at myself as a new TH-camr wondering why my vlogs were flopping so bad! It all makes sense. Thank you for putting it into perspective ❤
Same! My vlogs hardly get views yet they're really interesting. Now I realize my mistakes😅
Haha, I feel the same. It's definitely helped me get excited about changing it up in the coming weeks.
Mhmmm 🙃
Yes agree but a learning progress let's change and test
I just subscribed to you ❤

I started my TH-cam channel and finally summoned the courage to post it two days ago. This is indeed helpful. Thanks
This is so true 🙌 I think the mix between search based content and vlog style just make sure your vlogs give value and things will work out 🥰
Murillo Twins, Elliot Choy, Emma Chamberlain, Aaliyah Jay, Aaliyah’s Face, Kirah Ominique are successful vloggers, vlogging ain’t for everyone. There’s something for someone’s personality. 🤗

Wonderful video! I love the way you presented the content, and I’d love to see more about the analytic and CTR. I’m newly subscribed to your channel, and am looking forward to seeing more of your videos!
Dang these tips were soo good. I would totally love more videos regarding this topic of starting youtube, vlogging and organizing your content/video to then film.
🖌🗒….I kinda started a Vlog during the winter just to see how it is. It’s not what I thought it was. I have so much respect for those bloggers. The amount of time, editing, holding the camera, storytelling and creative that’s place in these videos 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 truly RESPECT.
A lot of great insight in here! Excellent job!
You are a great producer, teacher and on-air personality. 🙌 Thank you for your brilliant and inspiring videos.
Thank you so much for the wonderful video Katie! I’m struggling with my vlog because I’m just putting everything together of my mundane and even myself am not excited about my vlog!! I’ll try to better organize my vlog to make it more like a story!!
Me tooo I'm doing my videos in spanish but im going to use English and spanish from now on🤣🙌🏽
Oh, That was sooo insightful and helpful! Thank you so much for sharing all this information and tips! I've been thinking of starting a vlog channel and this is all great to know from the getgo! Now I'm even more excited! Thank you thank you thank you!!
Girl thank you so much I’ve been so discouraged lately but now it’s go time! I love your content ❤️
I was just thinking about start shooting vlogs. But had some doubts. Thanks to your video I will do it! Thank you 💗
The timing of this video was absolutely perfect!! Thanks so much
I’ve been watching so many of your videos! Thank you for your tips that are helping as small channels!
Love this 👍🏾💕 it was truly helpful! This was my first video I watched by you and now I’m subscribed and in freaking love brb while I binge watch the videosss…..✌🏾
It's so impressive and helpful to make storytelling structure by using mundane lives!!
Loved this! So many useful tips 🧡 would love more videos on youtube analytics/strategies!
From one content creator to another.. BEST 🙏🏻 VIDEO 👏🏻 EVER 👍🏻
I’ve been waiting to find a video that addresses exactly these topics!!! Thanks for sharing! Would love to see more
This video is fabulous, thank you for making it. I love that you are not a constant product pusher, and your genuine nature shines through. I am currently planning my first TH-cam video and feeling quite overwhelmed indeed. Again, thank you.
Thank you so much for all of these tips! I want to learn more about storytelling as a vlogger. I feel like I'm just starting to get an inkling of how that would work and I'm excited to learn more!
That's the scary thing- finding out how to make people get something of value from watching your vlog. If you're a nobody and you're having a day in your life, people won't watch.
Thank you for your tips! I'm saving you in the watch later, I'm gonna need to come back here for my vlogs 😹😹
Been vlogging consistently for 8 months now. Always looking to improve my vlogs and make them engaging.
Very useful advice, Katie! Thank you.
I think I can nail the "and then" adjustment with a "No, Miles, no....!" theme regularly, which is quite authentic. My daily life is mostly like that. Intro: I have a plan today, mostly, I think. I hear: "I don't think you should do that, Miles!" (buildup), and then "Miles, I told you" (breakdown, maybe literally), and then, me again, with a conclusion: "I'll be back next time for you guys, my sadistic returners, and to the new ones who are wondering how it is possible for me to resolve this. I guess you can guess how it'll start...."
As a somewhat new youtuber, I find these tips helpful! I’ll definitely incorporate your advice into making better vlogs ☺️
Just found this video and am thrilled with all the GEMS you shared in this video! Took a break on YT but will be returning better than before! Thanks for the great advice! Going to binge all your other videos now! 🤗💕
This is fascinating, Katie! I want to incorporate this idea into my "audiologs" on my podcast.
Thank you for sharing this! I’m just starting a TH-cam vlogging channel I have been doing ALL the research there is
I love when you make TH-cam education content, Katie 🥰
Would love to learn more! Thank you for all the time and energy and insights you bring to your videos.
absolutely incredible video. this helped me so much and inspired so many ideas
I do love hearing everyone’s perspective on this but to be honest I have been doing vlogs for about 5 years ( not consistently of course, just for fun )
I started my channel when my granddaughter was about 3 she is 8 now . But this was something I enjoyed doing like a hobby, but I realized when I would watch these types of videos it would make me discouraged and not enjoy what I once did . So to not drag this out , if your doing this expecting to earn a lot of money then your doing it for the wrong reason. Just remember love what your doing and be CONSISTENT , That’s my advice plus I do love this channel she always gives good tips , Happy Saturday 🌞
Yes please. More help with vlog videos would be great!👍 I'm starting a vlog channel and feeling that deer in headlights fear. 😆
idk a lot of “big” vloggers never seem authentic, I much prefer vloggers who just talk to you like you’re their friend and flows like a FaceTime call, but to each their own (this was still useful advice tho!)
Would definitely love to see more!! Great video. Thank you for the tips.
I include vlogs in as a part of, but not the focus of, my content. I posted one vlog and asked my subscribers if they would like to see more vlog regular content. They overwhelmingly said yes. I've been I'm a new TH-camr and I appreciate your recommendations for future reference.
You killed it in this video. Thanks for this type of content. Definitely voting for more like this :)
this video was crucial for my channel!! tysm for all the info and tips!!💕💕✨
This was an excellent video, thank you! Sometimes you have the pieces of the puzzle but need to know how to put them together.. You helped put them together😃
This was great! Very few of these cater to vloggers. And as a creator I feel like I get lost in the story line and forget to do the TH-cam specific things… like remind them who I am.
I like that intro idea because typically whenever a blog has an long intro I either skip forward or stop watching 😅😆 I feel bored once I see it over and over.
Loved this video, I’d love more TH-cam strategy videos! I’ve recently pivoted to lifestyle (decluttering, saving money) from sewing tutorials and my channel has suffered a lot!
that is so tough! a pivot is always going to be a bit of a challenge as your audience gets used to your new topics. i would really encourage you to just keep going with it though! if you'll be happier making your new content that's the most important thing, and it will just take time for the youtube algorithm / audience to get used to your new content :)
What an interesting story! I’m not a content creator but your story had me hooked. Thanks 🙏🏼 for sharing.
This was very interesting! And I loved that you explain everything in a very visual, easy to understand way and give examples!
Ty so much!!! I'm going to try implementing what you said 😄 !
You are great at what you do! If I never get this gig...you have much to be proud of. Thank you Katie.
Thank you for your very simply explained tips. Easy to remember and not intimidating with bla bla bla… this is just a chillin way of teaching and guiding.
