So.
The hardest thing about vlogging?
TIME.
Wait.
FINDING time.
It takes more effort than cuddling up with one’s laptop and working through a bout of writer’s block.
I think vlogging is a lot like swimming.
Why?
A runner needs shoes and will to get the job done, but a swimmer… A swimmer needs a place to swim… and unless one has a lap pool or lives on a lake without monsters AND WILL… swimming just requires more effort. More gear.
P.S. I do not like open water swimming. On account of the the Loch Ness. And piranhas.
What I am trying to say is… I think vlogging is a lot like swimming. It’s great. It’s my favorite! But it requires more – time… gear… nerve.
Oh time…
And in the interest of time… I am going to not reinvent the wheel and point to a few videos I have already invested time in. Videos about making videos!
Fancy that!
My favorite one is the one I made for Kammie at No Biggie:
And there’s this one – Tricks That Give Your Videos Sparkle!
And this one – Conference Vlogging
And the one I did for Ignite Seattle 11 – How to Become an Internet Movie Phenom Without Taking Your Clothes Off!
I actually have a vlog in my head about how to make vlogging simpler.
But maybe my ideas aren’t so effective since I can’t seem to pull that puppy together.
Hrmmm.
Aaaanynowhos.
I am going to be off having a real time this Saturday at Bloggy Boot Camp Seattle! I think I am going to do a bit of blathering about growing a lifestyle blog… with some emphasis on the Twitter and the Facebook. I think I am going to blather about Pinterest too. If that’s not a lifestyle blogger’s virtual playground, then… I don’t have the virtual playground in Pinterest that I thought I did.
And I’m going to talk about vlogging.
I would be remiss if I did not.
(I just wanted to use the word “remiss”… I would be remiss if I did not disclose that).
I think I’m going to share with my Bloggy Boot Camp-ers the video that really inspired me to start vlogging. I know I’ve shared it before, but you want me to share it again?
Do ya?
Really?
OK…
That about sums it up!
P.S. I’m nervous.
I would be remiss if I wasn’t.
Or would I?
Well I am. Remiss or not.
Also, I love you.
