So. You've made your
first vlog and told everyone that you didn't know what you were doing.
Sweet. What's next?
Well, one tactic that especially adventurous vloggers like to do is to treat the videoblogging experience like Twitter.
Like BAD Twitter.
Like the Twitter that you're afraid of finding in your timeline so you never even log on. Like the Twitter that you used to write when you didn't know what Twitter was and you thought that Facebook was just a fad and why can't we all just go back to MySpace already?!
Like this:
And-- just like
last week-- this seems to work best when you don't have anything interesting or informative to share with the audience! People love being bored to death! It's crazy how that works! Those YouTube subscriptions should just start rolling in!
If you try out any of our
vlogging tips, let us know how it goes-- especially if any of them work out for you, because, frankly, that's something we can only imagine. Seriously.
Come back next week when we'll discuss how to deal with the haters...

So you want to know how to be a vlogger.
Daily Grace is pretty good at vlogging so you think we might know a thing or two about it, right?
Fine. We're going to tell you all of our secrets. But only one at a time.
Lesson One: Let everyone know this is your very first vlog and you're not sure what to say.
Like so:
As you can see in this
"My First Vlog Supercut" (courtesy our sister blog,
Slacktory), telling everyone it's your first time (what?) will make you seem humble and adorable. No one likes the rookie who hits a grand slam in his first at-bat! Well, everyone
pretends they like him, but inside everyone is actually seething with jealousy. So, self-deprecation is totally the way to go! Also, you now have a built-in excuse for doing a terrible job. Also, I made a baseball analogy! Whoa.
Make sure you come back next Friday for Lesson Two...
