Prepare

Everyone can tell when you blag it.

Thats why you need to take a step back and have a think, sit down with a cup of tea… or coffee and think about what you are going to say, even some simple notes scribbled down can help you memorise what you want to say.

Avoid an earthquake with your camera

Don’t try and film yourself when holding the camera. Invest in a tripod. (They really don’t cost much at all) This way it will stop your audience getting dizzy from all the strange camera angles.

Be yourself

No one likes fake people. Just remember your viewers are already watching you because they like you, if you try to change, chances are that you will lose quite a bit of your audience.

Ask questions

Ask your viewers their opinions on topics you are covering, its good to make them feel included, ask them what they want to hear about next so you know exactly what your viewers want!

Don’t be a couch potato

Get creative with where you film, don’t always just film on the same sofa, at the same table or in the same room. Go outside! Explore and have fun with it. Don’t be afraid to be creative… just don’t be boring.
