Vlog Ideas to Try Out
Whether you’re a brand-new vlogger or have been creating videos for some time, coming up with new vlog ideas can be a serious challenge. In order to build an engaged and loyal audience, you’ll need to film videos that are interesting, unique, and well-suited to your personality and vlogging niche.
But when it comes to deciding what to vlog about, it can be all to easy to find yourself in a creative slump. However, challenging yourself to try something new can be exactly what you need to get out of a rut.
We’re rounding up a diverse list of easy vlog ideas to give you the inspiration you need to get back into filming and create vlogs your viewers will love.
1. “Why I Vlog”
New and seasoned vloggers alike can connect with viewers by creating a video that explains their “why” behind vlogging. One of the best parts of this vlog topic is that it will be completely unique to you, and gives you the opportunity to create a genuine, relatable video. Whether your goal is to capture memories, pursue a creative career, or just try something new, a “why I vlog” video is a simple but effective idea.
2. Your Vlog Bucket List
Nearly everyone has a “bucket list” (a list of things you want to do in your lifetime) – so why not share yours? Maybe yours leans towards the adventurous, like skydiving or traveling across the globe, or maybe your lifetime goals are more career-focused. No matter what’s on your bucket list, it can be an entertaining and enjoyable topic for your audience.
3. House or Room Tour
As a vlogger, it’s easy to forget that your audience often has a very limited view of your world. In fact, they may have only seen one small portion of the wall behind where you film every day. Consider giving them a tour of your filming room, a favorite space in your home, or even your entire house.
4. “Day in the Life” of a Vlogger
Successful vloggers know how to let their audience get to know them via video, and a “day in the life” video can be an excellent way to connect with yours. Take your vlogging camera with you as you go about your daily routine, giving your audience a unique perspective on your everyday life.
5. Your Favorite Activities
Hearing about other people’s favorite movies, TV series, foods, or books is always fun, especially when you discover that you share common interests. Create a vlog that dives into some of your favorites and ask viewers to share theirs in the comments or in reply videos – you might just be surprised at how much great conversation and authentic engagement it can generate.
Pursue Your Dreams of a Career in Media
