    Now that you have decided to start a vlog, you must have a good idea of what your vlog will be based on and what it will look like. This should be the first and foremost thing to be done, as having a good and right start is very important.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Since this will be a long-term plan, choosing a channel theme you are familiar with and comfortable with is of utmost importance. In other words, know your niche and choose that as your channel idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"How<\/p>\n

    You can take Yuya, a Mexican vlogger, for inspiration.<\/span> Yuya<\/span><\/a> started her beauty vlog in 2009 at the tender age of 16 under the name <\/span>lady16makeup<\/span><\/i>, after winning a makeup contest. Currently, her channel has 24.6 million subscribers and more than 2 billion views. Her growth has been exponential, so much so that she has a star at the Las Vegas Walk of Fame. She released a perfume in 2015, wrote two books on Makeup by 2017, and launched a makeup collection in 2017. Now, THIS is someone who knows what they want to be doing.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"how<\/p>\n

    For starters, here are some niches and the vloggers who are soaring in the corresponding niches:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Lifestyle vlogging – <\/span>Casey Neistat<\/span><\/a> (12.2M subscribers)<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Travel vlogging – <\/span>Drew Binsky<\/span><\/a> (1.89M subscribers)<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Food vlogging – <\/span>Food Ranger<\/span><\/a> (4.5M subscribers)<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Fitness vlogging – <\/span>Blogilates<\/span><\/a> (5.35M subscribers)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Similarly, there is more to the list, like Business, Humor, Makeup, etc. Figure out your niche and watch yourself soar!<\/span><\/p>\n

      2. KYA – Know Your Audience<\/b><\/h2>\n

      Posting content that suits your audience is essential. Your video content should be in line with your target audience. If your vlog is dedicated to a particular age group, you can very well use the slang and terms that your audience can relate to.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \"how<\/p>\n

      If you target an audience across different age groups, well, you must be very careful of the terms you use. If the viewer misinterprets even one word, you will end up losing a follower. Or who knows, the story might spread, and you might lose a chunk of your followers.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Other than this, the need to connect with the audience is vital. Posting boring stuff will make the viewers go <\/span>meh<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Here\u2019s an example from the channel, <\/span>Best Ever Food Review Show<\/span><\/a>. This channel has 5.63 million subscribers and more than 955 million views.
