HOW TO START MOTOVLOGGING
April 16, 2017
MotoVlogging Tips
Considering starting a motovlog? First and foremost when considering starting a motovlog you must be an experienced rider. Motovlogging essentially consists of talking and recording your ride and editing it to be entertaining to viewers afterward. This required a bit of extra focus and we do not recommend anyone to start motovlogging without having had plenty of experience on their bike.Have a clear purpose for each video
Where are you riding in today’s video? What’s the video’s purpose? Make sure your video has a specific purpose, otherwise it can become boring to the viewer. Maintaining the viewer's interest will keep them coming back to your channel and even subscribing to your motovlog channel. Building a subscriber base is pivotal in the success of your channel. You have to reach YouTube’s threshold of subscribers before being able to customize your channel’s URL and that step will be huge in building your brand.Be yourself
Don’t try to fit the mold of every other motovlogger, there are many different personalities in the motovlogging world and their personality is what shows through and makes each of them unique. Many of the top motovloggers and some of our favorites are the most ridiculous people with absolutely no filter and that’s what makes us continue to watch. In addition to being yourself on camera, be sure to come up with a unique and memorable name for your channel.Be spontaneous
Capturing unexpected things on film will provide the most entertaining content, viewers love spontaneity and to feel as if they were along for the ride with you. Your viewers should never know what’s coming when you upload a new video. Keep it fresh and always try to keep your content as light as possible. At the end of the day, YouTube is a source of entertainment and viewers are looking for a good laugh.Don’t forget about Video Descriptions
The video description box is an excellent tool to use to your advantage. This is where you can optimize the text so that people searching the web can easily find your video. Be sure to be as descriptive as possible and say exactly what your particular video contains. People also love to know what gear you use in each video, many popular motovloggers include a ‘gear used’ section in the description of every video. Be consistent throughout your channel, have a template that you use for your video descriptions and stick to it for each video. Consistency is another huge part of building your brand. Be sure to include your other social media handles in your description such as Instagram and Facebook so your subscribers can easily find and follow them.
