This blog is all about vlogging and some tips and tricks to get you started.<\/p>

So why do people vlog?<\/strong><\/h2>

It\u2019s really great for brand builders to get in front of the camera because it's one of the most powerful ways, if not the <\/strong>most powerful way to engage with your audience.<\/p>

Getting started is always the hardest part. If you\u2019re a bit reluctant or self-conscious about filming yourself then that\u2019ll probably make you an even better vlogger - because you\u2019ll really think about what your saying and communicating to your audience instead of just blurting out a load of rubbish!<\/p>

Having a friend behind the camera always helps, like our videographer Sergio here at Teemill HQ. You can talk to them instead of the camera and even bounce ideas of each other during the process (which is literally what we did for this video).<\/p>

Remember that the best stories have great characters and that brands with founders that are prominent and have a story to tell are most successful. As human beings we have inherently always been interested in stories and how things have come to be. People buy into the founder and their story just as much as they do the brand. Think about it\u2026 we buy into the main character of a film just as much as we do the film! The ring without Frodo would be just a ring...<\/p>

There are people out there that will want to hear your story - so if you\u2019re a brand with a story to tell, get out in front of the camera and tell it. It will be really rewarding for yourself and your customers.<\/p>

So here\u2019s some really simple tips to build your confidence and get started.<\/p>

1. Practice<\/strong><\/h2>


Don\u2019t go straight into doing a live video. Facebook and Instagram live are great, but have a practice and get confident with what you\u2019re communicating first. You can always delete it and try again if you aren\u2019t happy with the end result.
Make sure you prep. Whether that\u2019s in the form of a few scribbled bullet points or a whole script.Whatever floats your boat.<\/p>

2. Get in the mood<\/strong><\/h2>


Speed and energy of the video is key. Stay on track and keep it short and sweet if you can!
It can also help to do something to get you in the mood instead of just jumping straight into recording. There\u2019s word on the street that Teemill's Mart watches Anchorman clips to get in the mood to record his videos... (they've done studies you know, 60% of the time it works every time...)<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

3.ERM...<\/strong><\/h2>


Try not to ERM. Emily and Mart are really bad at it. It can interrupt the flow of what you\u2019re saying, try to take a breathe instead.<\/p>

4. Use your phone<\/strong><\/h2>


You don\u2019t need any fancy equipment or a posh camera. Mobile phone quality is great, just pick up your phone and start talking to the camera to get a feel for it. Most phones will also include a basic video editor.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

5. Have fun<\/strong><\/h2>


<\/strong>The most important part about putting yourself in front of the camera is to have fun! Get creative, wear your own product and communicate with your audience in a fun and friendly way.Let your personality shine!
