Episode notes
Vlog One Focused Moment
- Vlog one focused part of your day instead of the whole day to make content inherently interesting.
- This narrows footage, helps editing, and aligns with what viewers and the algorithm prefer.
Carrie's Rapid Growth Example
- Carrie lost 100 pounds and applied the new vlog method by speaking directly on topics related to weight loss.
- Within a month she hit tens of thousands of views and later videos reached hundreds of thousands.
Choose A Flexible Theme
- Pick a theme (an umbrella topic) for your channel so viewers know why to click and you have flexible content options.
- Use a theme instead of broad life-focus or a brittle micro-niche when starting.
