YouTube is the biggest video-sharing platform in the world, so it is not shocking that the site is saturated with vloggers and content creators. Many YouTube influencers focus their content on vlogs which often earn them millions of views. For this reason, this generation is filled with wannabe vloggers due to the fact that they have seen how successful their favourite YouTube vloggers have become. Although becoming a vlogger may seem exciting, many people fail to realise the hard work that goes into producing vlogs that are original and innovative.

What is a vlogger?

If you are unfamiliar with the world of YouTube, you might not know what a vlogger actually is. Essentially, a vlogger is a person who regularly posts video blogs online. They can upload vlogs (video blogs) to any social media platform that has video features, however, YouTube is the most popular site for vloggers to post their content. Authenticity is central to any vlog, which means that vloggers typically create all aspects of their content from filming to editing. Vlogs can also belong to any topic seeing as there are no rules or expectations for video blogs except that they must achieve some kind of purpose. Whether a vlogger shows their fans an exotic trip abroad, or what they do in a day, there are no restrictions on the type of content that a vlogger can produce. Vloggers usually speak directly to the camera when filming and they often directly address their fans about different subject matters. This gives their videos a personal and intimate feel, which explains why vloggers attract millions of fans around the world.
