Whether you’re a brand-new vlogger or have been vlogging for years, there’s one thing we can all agree on: coming up with creative vlog ideas can be tough. Sometimes, it can feel like you hit a wall when it comes to creating new content, and the added pressure often makes it even harder to get creative.

If your 2020 goal is to think outside the box and try new vlog ideas, we have you covered with 20 trendy topics that are as fun as they are engaging.

20 Vlog Ideas to Try in 2020

• “Meet the vlogger” video

Are you new to vlogging? If you haven’t already made a video introducing yourself to your audience, now’s the perfect chance to make a great first impression.

• Why you started vlogging

Even if you’re a longtime vlogger, you might not have ever talked about why you were inspired to get started. Not only is this topic a great way to connect with new viewers, but it can also help you keep existing viewers interested in your story.

• Forecasting the future

Do you have big plans for your video channel in 2020? You might be surprised to learn how interested your viewers would be to hear about content that’s headed their way.

• Home or room tour

Tours of vloggers’ personal spaces draw an impressively large audience, especially because viewers are used to seeing just a single angle (usually the wall behind where you film).

• Do an interview

We all have at least a few interesting characters in our lives, and bringing in a friend or family member for an interview episode can be fun for both you and your audience.

• Cover a special event

Depending on the focus of your vlog channel, you can bring your viewers along to your next big event. Whether it’s a concert, food truck festival, or sports event, your audience will love feeling like they’re along for the ride.

• Challenge video

Everyone has seen the viral video challenges, which can drum up millions of viewers within the span of a few days. Try your hand at the latest challenge video – and don’t be afraid to have fun with it!

• Explain a trending topic or concept

Maybe you have expertise in a certain arena due to school or work, or perhaps you just have a specific interest in a certain topic. Share this information with your viewers for a vlog that not only educates but also gives a peek into your personal interests.

• Tell your favorite travel stories

So much of vlogging is centered on the concept of storytelling through video, so why not literally tell an interesting story in your video? Whether you recount a life-changing vacation or your biggest travel blunder, it can be a great vlog idea for 2020.

• Collaborate with a fellow vlogger

Vlogging is a thriving community of creatives, and partnering up with a fellow vlogger can make for a very successful final product. You’ll also have the potential to attract new viewers from their audience base, which is always a plus.

• Take viewer suggestions

One of the best ways to make your audience feel involved is to ask them what they’d like you to cover in an upcoming vlog. It can be a huge source of inspiration, and viewers will be thrilled to tune in to content they had a hand in creating.

• Browse trending videos

Running short on creative vlog ideas? Explore the various videos in the trending section of your sharing platform to get a feel for what’s capturing viewers’ interest at the moment, then go from there.

• Compilation video

For vloggers that have been filming for a while, putting together a compilation of footage is a chance to use unseen footage or relive your favorite moments.

• FAQs about you

Invite your audience to submit questions, which you can then answer in a vlog. They’ll get to know you a little better, and you’ll become even more relatable to your audience.

• Give a video tutorial

As a vlogger, you probably know a thing or two about putting together a great video. Walk your audience through the process of planning, filming, or even editing to give them a peek behind the scenes.

• Cover current events 

Diving into current events can help your video gain exposure, especially with online users who are looking for information about a specific news topic.

• A reimagining of classic characters

Whether you want to try your hand at drawing, make-up, or another medium, recreating a classic movie or story character in your own way is an enjoyable experience for you and viewers alike.

• “What’s in my bag”

One of the many trending vlog topics this year, the “what’s in my bag” videos offer an insider look at whatever you’re carrying in your backpack or purse.

• Unboxing

Another popular vlog topic, unboxing videos involves viewers in the process of opening a new product or package.

• New movies or songs

Keep up on the latest music and movie releases, and viewers will see you as a vlogger-in-the-know.
