Would love to work with you. I'm always down for a collab. The fitbit idea is genius![DOUBLEPOST=1422720350,1422720284][/DOUBLEPOST]

Its great seeing another daily vlogger on here as well looking for advice and as a subscriber to your channel! Granted we are not in the same state, we'd be interested in doing a collab shout out trade. One thing I do love about your channel is your thumbnails and how colorful and attention grabbing they are.

Are you talking about my channel or @PressRecords channel? I'm always down for a collab, just need to figure out a good idea. I do take some time on my thumbnails to make them pop!

Well both would be awesome but more specifically I was talking about your channel. Maybe there is a 3 channel collab in the making here?
 
I saw you on Video Creators a few months back, nice to see you here as well. We only have just over 2000 subscribers but we try to engage and involve them as much as we can. When we first started, we were kind of aloof with our videos. Only filming weekend outings, not really showing them the inside of our house, etc. Once we loosened up and let them in, our subs and views really grew. Now we have a small but very dedicated core audience.

We network and collab with similar channels(content and size) and try to just treat our viewers like what they are, real people. We invite them into our lives and want to share with them. At the beginning we were just filming what we were doing and uploading it. Now we treat every video like a conversation and they seem to really enjoy that.
 
I am also planning on vlogging in the future, and the one thing I am going to do to stand out from the rest is to put my artwork. It's actually a minimalistic type with draw my life (I find them the most inspirational.).
A draw my life could be a good bet:)

Tim is an awesome guy. Video Creators is amazing. Looks like what you are doing is working. Glad to see your community growing. The hardest part for me is getting that dedicated community. Got any tips on doing that?
 
I'd say if it's a daily thing, the best thing you can do is to keep it "daily". And I wouldn't get so bogged down on making it a habit to film every day. That in itself seems kind of.... well, lonely. lol Sometimes your content doesn't need to be about what you're doing that day and then the next video is about what you did that day, that'd just be like a video version of people's facebook feeds. And some people's facebook feeds tell WAY TOO MUCH if you know what I'm saying.

Make videos in advance for days you know you aren't going to be doing anything special so your life doesn't seem so boring. Hell, If I were to vlog every day it'd just be the same thing. "I went on youtube, I uploaded a video or thought about making a video, I ate some food, I watched netflix, I looked for a job, now I'm filming this".... Gawd.... that just sounds awful.

Challenges are a good thing to fall back on, true everyone does them but they are trendy if done correctly and especially if the challenge is out of this world. Tutorials for example are bread and butter for some beginning channels. What better way to get attention to yourself other than telling people how to do something they would most likely search for?

So set a schedule. Some days you just blog about your life or whatever it is you do normally, other days you upload videos that can fall on any day of the week. Maybe you're just talking about a current event and people don't need to know what day you filmed it on. For a daily vlog the idea is to keep things fresh like boom boom bam, more more more. So you rotate ideas and keep things fresh. My advice is not to do the same thing 3 times in a row. Rule of thirds and all that. Like a magic trick. You don't want to show someone the exact same trick twice, you show them the trick once, they ask to see it again so you do it again with a twist, the third time you show them something completely new so as they don't figure out your whole shtick.

Hope that helps.
