7 genuine travel vlogging tips to grow a youtube channel

this is the first question every vlogger wants to know.

Why travel vlogging ??

if you are a Youtuber and like to create some good vlogs then many of you may ask me why travel vlog is so important for me ??.

so the very first reason is the trend of travel vlogs, which we covered earlier.

the second point is that this type of vlogging gives you real-life experiences and adventure, you can find/discover some new places and meet some new people.

and if you work very well then you get even paid for your travel vlogs.

here are some most needed travel vlogging tips, which you need to remember to become a good travel vlogger.

  In this article, I mentioned only the most needed travel vlogging tips.

if you want to know more about how to vlog and everything then read my article on  ‘How to vlog like a PRO‘.

now, here we go…

1. Keep your videos short

Here is the first deal, which you need to follow, if and only if you want to make your video more popular.

hope you know that on social media like Facebook & youtube users are impatient and they quickly move on if your video is too long.

so this one is the golden rule, make your video as short and rich in quality as possible.

also if you shoot a very small but important part only then it’s very easy for you to edit the video.

it saves lots of your time and effort.

2. Always try to show more

This is the most common problem every travel vlogger faced while recording any video.

the problem is talking with your camera or so-called one-way talking, you are speaking like an idiot even no one is responding.

that’s very strange I know ( many people around you just looking at you, like a fool, haha ).

but that is the most important thing which you need to take care of.

if you feel like an idiot then don’t worry we have a solution.

just imagine you are not talking with your camera, you’re talking with one of your friends which makes you chuckle at every small talk.

3. Add more characters in your vlog

if possible then add more personalities in your vlog.

ask people to give a review of that special place, why it’s so famous and ask some questions in which your users want to know the answer.

so that thing helps your users to get the answer to that place which they are looking for.

4. Start your video with a Primary shot

I like many travel vloggers, but apart from travel vloggers I also like some vloggers.

you can archive this point while you’re editing your video, so editing for a travel vlog and a normal vlog is the same I guess.

do this trick if you want good attention to your vlog.

add a primary or the main shot of your vlog at the starting 10 sec of your video, that 10 sec forces your audience to watch the full video.

you can see the live example of this trick at Ranz and Niana vlog.

5. Use a good stabilizer and most comfortable gears

No matter if you are using a DSLR, Mirrorless camera, action camera, or even a point-and-shoot camera, if your camera is not stable then it’s not worth it.

also, the audio quality is a very important point, so no matter what happens first build rich quality video.

other things will happen by themselves.

buy good stabilizers like a tripod and gorilla pod.

Some useful supplies for you

6. Your video needs good music 

Music is also a very important part of your vlog.

in 4 minutes video, you may speak for 3 minutes but the background music is a really significant part.

so make sure you add some good rhythm in your videos.

 “Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.” ― Robert Fripp

after perfect editing, you finish your video, but before you upload it on youtube let me tell you something about copyright music.

you can’t add any melody as background music in your video.

because it gives you a copyright strike on youtube, so you need to choose your video wisely.

but, don’t worry here is the solution.

Find some most popular audio libraries for youtube creators like you, which you can add to your video.

use these links to download any mp3 songs and use them in your videos and make them more interesting.

7. Watch other travel vlogs

if you want to become a famous and very successful traveling vlogger then you need to do one thing, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE that’s it.

so if you are asking me for the best source of practice then I’ll suggest you some popular vloggers name.

you just need to watch them peacefully with attention.

Important resources for you…

These all things definitely helps you to archive mastery over how to do vlogging, also you may learn some new techniques to shoot some objects and moment.

and also try to combine more animation to your video.

so, that’s from my side, I mentioned every single point which helps you to became a better vlogger.

  1. Great tips for beginners in this business! What do you need to attract subscribers to your channel? That’s right – quality content. To create it, in addition to a video, you need a good sound recording! For all video bloggers recording video clips, the issue of sound arises sharply. Its high quality along with a good picture gives half of the success of the footage. Unfortunately, not all video cameras are equipped with high-quality standard microphones.

    In order to get around your competitors, in addition to the interestingly recorded video, you need to have still good, high-quality microphone. There are some good options: https://www.microphonetopgear.com/microphones-for-vlogging/
