Hey, welcome back! Today I'm going to be talking about another type of video people post on YouTube - a vlog! What is a vlog, you may ask? A vlog is literally a video blog. It's where YouTubers can video tape anything they want, in relation to no matter what. For example, if I were to take this blog, The Wonders Of YouTube, and speak the words that I've written in front of a camera, it would be categorized as a vlog on YouTube.Some YouTubers like to vlog fun experiences in their life to show to their subscribers. In example, going on a cruise, taking a vacation with their friends, going to a music festival, meeting an idol, or going to an award show could all be made into vlogs. Although, some people like to vlog in a more creative way.
The ones who tend to vlog creatively pick subjects in which their opinion can be portrayed to the world about a certain subject. For example, some YouTubers love to vlog in the form of rant videos, sketches, or music videos to entertain their subscribers while presenting a subject or trend they are familiar with.
A lot of vloggers also like to simply sit in front of the camera and talk about world wide issues or about what is going on in their life. I believe that the majority of people like to watch these types of vlog videos because they could be a spark of inspiration or could be easy to relate to. A YouTuber speaking about his/her personal experience with bullying could be a strong inspiration for those struggling with bullying while watching the vlog.
Most famous YouTubers like Bethany Mota, ThatcherJoe, Zoella, MayBaby, Tanya Burr, Tyler Oakley, Tanya Burr, Jennxpenn, and more, have 2 separate channels on YouTube. One channel they would call their 'main channel' and the other would be strictly for vlog videos. Therefore, they normally have a set schedule for posting on their main channel (like a new video every Tuesday and Sunday) and they have their vlog channel for when they want to post on certain occasions.
In my opinion, vlogs are very entertaining and I tend to watch all sorts of different vlogs that catch my eye.

I love every blog you post kimmy!!! I love this blog because you talk about vlogs and the different things people may vlog about in their life. Also it was surprising to heat that their is vlog were people sit in front of the camera and talk to their subscribers, my favourite part is that you named the different YouTubers that have a main channel and a vloging channel.
ReplyDeleteYes, vlogs are super important in the youtube industry. They are very nice and entertaining. Having them let their fans know their lifestyle and know that they are just human is very nice and inspiring. They become very close friends. Vlogs are really fun to watch, the youtuber becomes your family. I'm glad you talked about this Kimberlee!
