Blending In to the Content Party
Blending In to the Content PartyVlogging is rapidly becoming the hip new thing for content marketers. The proliferation of cell phones with high-quality cameras has made it easier than ever for brands to jump on this latest trend.
But there is a lot to unpack in this trend, and a content marketer might be asking themselves how to get started or even what platform to focus on. Amy’s decade of experience with successful vlogging has taught her a few things.
Anybody (literally) can become a star vlogger on camera. It’s not about being born to be on camera. It’s about practice. The more you’re on camera, the easier it gets, but you cannot get there without jumping in and getting started.
Understanding the party dynamics to each social platform is key to making the right video for the right audience. The Facebook environment is not the same as YouTube which is not the same as Snapchat. Each platform has its own vibe, and your video content should reflect as much.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Amy’s vlogging expertise. With her guidance, any content marketer can become a vlogging star.
