5 Ideas for Your Next (Or First) Vlog

5 Ideas for Your Next (Or First) Vlog

A lot of people want to start a vlog, but they are held back by this one fear: that they just are not interesting. I used to think the same about myself and creating content. And let me be honest, we  might not be interesting. To one person. But to another we might be exactly what they were hoping to find. You might be their next favorite content creator. You won’t know until you put yourself out there and try. Actually, I really want to make a vlog channel one day, but I really enjoy the idea of a blog. I will continue working on this site, and in the mean time collect research for any channel I have in the future. I hope it comes of use to you as well. So, if you’re in need for vlog ideas for your Youtube channel, look no further. 

1. Routine Videos

Cleaning, night, day, fitness, meditation, weekly, planning, goal setting, or even order packaging routines. Your audience can use these videos to compare it to their own routines, inspire them to change, or just entertain them. Personally, I love watching people clean and work out. It

makes me feel like I’ve been cleaning and working out. 

2. DIY Projects

Some people want to feel like they could be artists, or some people want to save money. Either way, DIY videos are often searched for and are a  great idea for your next video. DIY Gifts forother’s day, Christmas, Valentine’s day, anniversaries, birthdays, and more. Even if you are not the ‘handyman’ or ‘crafty’ type you can easily DIY School supplies, art supplies, room storage, and makeup storage. Go off to Pinterest for more inspiration. 

3. Dupes
This one might extend from the DIY. Like I said, people like to save money. So if you have an idea as to how someone can recreate a brand name product, or buy a cheaper version from the store- now’s your chance to shine.

4. Tutorials
Cleaning, cooking, crafting, drawing, welding, or even the zero-waste life. Odds are you are able to accomplish SOMETHING with some amount of competency. Someone else might not be. Maybe someone out there is dying for you to show them how to clean their bathroom as easily as possible. Or you you can make an ironic tutorial if humor is your thing. Go on, help these poor people!!

5. Your Personal Story
You may have heard, there is no such thing as an original story. In fact, most Youtube videos that do

well are ones that follow trends. So why do people watch the same basic story line over and over?

Because each person brings their own personality and unique background to the mix. Each of them

are relatable in their own ways. You have to remember that no one can tell your story like you can. But

if you were to put yourself out into the world, and make yourself vulnerable… If you reach even one

person - wouldn’t it be worth it?


These are 5 general categories of videos that you can make for your new youtube channel. I hope this has list inspired you in some way. When I'm ready I will probably refer to this list with a calender to plan out a month of content. Now stop reading about it, and go out and do it!
