Отрывок из книги
How much do you know about the vlogging business? Before we can aspire to get rich in a certain field, we must be sure we know everything about that industry. Who are the superstars already operating in the arena? How are their vlogs different from the amateur vlogger struggling to grow traffic?
I’ve worked with vloggers for seven years, and I have seen first-hand how the industry has changed. In 2009, there wasn’t much difference between bloggers and vloggers except for the way we presented our thoughts and insights into daily life. Initially, I chose blogging; I set up my blog LiveLikeaVIP.com in 2009 after growing disillusioned with my job writing for a national newspaper. I was the showbiz gossip column editor of the Sunday Mirror, but nobody my age bought or read a newspaper and it made me think there was a market for online content aimed at teens and twenty-somethings. I chose blogging over vlogging because I loved writing, and I knew how to work with photos after watching busy newspaper departments find the right images to accompany stories. Had I decided to make video content back in 2009, life would have been very different.
.....
Many of the vlogging superstars that I’ve met and featured in this book have audiences under thirty years old on average. However, if you want to appeal to an older market, you can still be successful. All you need is an awareness of how formal or informal you need to be. The vloggers featured in this book are successful because they’ve adapted their tone to suit their audience, not because teenagers are more active on YouTube. In fact, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki claims YouTube now reaches more users in the 18–49-year-old demographic than any other TV network. It is possible to attract older viewers, as long as you don’t annoy them by talking down to them.
You’re in a tricky situation here. You don’t want to look shallow and superficial, but you also don’t want to make others feel stupid by referring to things they haven’t been taught. Knowing their level of education will help you realise how much technical knowledge you can assume in your videos, and it will also help you decide how much of your own educational background to share.
