Seattle Washington and hear from some of
today's top vloggers sharing their
biggest tip for growing your channel
coming up this video is brought to you
in part by vloggerfair.com what's your
vlog channel what's your name Chris
Pirillo and my youtube channel is
youtube.com / chris pirillo name is
Cullen and our channel is Cullen and
katie my family's vlogging channel is
shmovies and my name is Tim Schmoyer my
name is Jeff Weiss and I am with the
Weisslife we are Nat and Wes and the
rest and we just do family vlogs about
three times a week we try to do and you
have a personal channel right what's up
yes natalie bennett cool well we are the
johnson fam and we have been vlogging
for one year well technically speaking
back in the late 90s I had a digital
camera sony mavica 91 90 and how long
you been vlogging for over 10 years Wow
but you could record video postage
stamp-sized video yeah and I did I
recorded 60-second video like you are
the first vlogger on earth but well I
don't know if I could claim that two and
a half years almost three years we've
been vlogging for five years two years
full time we have had our channel for
almost three years now and my personal
channel for just over a year what's your
number one tip for growing a vlog
channel Wow a lot of protein number one
thing I think you need to know is you
need to who know who you are targeting
because we don't know who your audiences
be really hard to attract people because
you need me you need to make people feel
like this channel is for me like I feel
like he's talking to me like the things
he's answering the questions that he's
asking and the values delivering is like
what I need and if you don't know who
you're trying to target you're not going
to make anyone feel that way I think the
number one tip for growing a vlog
channel is be yourself because it's not
about the view counts it's not about
subscriber counts it's not about how
many comments you get it's about the
depth of connection that you might have
with a group of people I've always
believed smaller is bigger and you can
have a substantially deeper impact with
a smaller group of people and
that to me really speak to growing a
channel because you're growing
connection you're not growing traffic
you're not growing view counts you're
growing things actually matter not
keeping it within YouTube it's to branch
out people think of vlogging is just
being a YouTube or anything it's more
than that social media all over I think
we first kind of met each other and
started chatting because of Twitter me
and the other guys around here we are
all best friends because of Twitter and
you see the youtube comments but you get
the more personal interaction on Twitter
Instagram that kind of stuff where you can send
Das exchange numbers and then Collab
it grows yeah don't just
focus on youtube focus on the whole
social media space and what's your
number one tip for a vlog channel you
have to commit you have to do it
consistently and you have to have a
passion for it because if you don't have
passion for it you're not going to keep
going you're not going to commit you
really have to enjoy it and run with it
i would say having your priorities in
your real life straight will really
translate well into your vlogging life
and that shows you that you're genuine
and people are very attracted to I can't
agree more with that just the fact of
being genuine because so many times it
feels like things are manufactured on
YouTube a lot is just trying to follow a
trend and I think this would be what you
said there it really shows a difference
in just reaching that key audience and
in your following because everything
every time every year it changes so just
kind of seeing where your analyst do
with that I would say I know it's kind
of cheesy everyone probably says it to
be authentic but it's very true one of
the biggest things that we have learned
is to not try and copy someone else but
to be ourselves and it's still something
that we constantly have to like remind
ourselves it's like be you and do you
and having fun with it don't like stress
out right yeah i think if we use if you
film for yourself then you don't have to
worry about stressing out about like
pleasing other people or I don't know
people will like your content for sure
