In the world of content creation, the landscape is always evolving. When I started my blog, Loving Your Day, in 1999, blogging was a relatively new concept. But as the internet and social media grew, so did the ways in which we share our stories and connect with our audiences.
One of the most significant changes in my own content creation journey has been the shift from blogging to vlogging. While I’ve always loved writing and sharing my thoughts through words, I found that there was a whole new level of connection that could be achieved through video.
It was in 2013 that I decided to start my YouTube channel and add vlogging to my repertoire. At first, it was a bit intimidating to put myself out there on camera. But as I began to create more videos, I found that it was an incredibly rewarding experience. I loved being able to share my experiences in real-time and connect with my audience in a more personal way.
One of the most significant benefits of vlogging is that it allows me to bring my audience along on my adventures. Whether I’m exploring a new city, practicing yoga, or just sharing my thoughts, vlogging enables me to show rather than tell. And that can be incredibly powerful in terms of building a community and fostering connections.
Of course, with any new form of content creation comes a learning curve. I had to learn how to use new tools and equipment, as well as develop my own style and voice on camera. But with practice and dedication, I’ve been able to evolve my content and create something that I’m truly proud of.
Looking back on my journey from blogging to vlogging, I can see how far I’ve come. And while I still love writing and blogging, I know that vlogging has opened up a whole new world of possibilities in terms of content creation and connection with my audience.
If you’re considering making the switch from blogging to vlogging, my advice would be to dive in and give it a try. It may take some time to get comfortable on camera, but the rewards are well worth the effort. And who knows, you may find that vlogging is the perfect way to take your content creation to the next level.
Thanks for reading, and as always, with lovingkindness,
