Over the past years, as people were stuck at home, there has been a rise in digital content creators. Chances are you’ve already thought of venturing into the same field. If you’re interested in vlogging but have no idea where to begin, check out vlogger-actor Brent Manalo’s tips in this episode of Kapamilya Chat.

If you have come across Brent’s content, you’d notice that it’s hinged on fashion and lifestyle and mostly haul videos – because he’s a model. This is related to the first rule in vlogging, which is to stick to your core.

According to Brent, you don’t have to think thoroughly about your market and niche. Most of the time, you simply have to start with something close to heart. Upload content you’re really passionate about (in his case, fashion) then the right audiences will come. If not sure, you can also experiment until you find your forte.

Be genuine as well. Even if you pretend to be someone you’re not, the truth will eventually come out and you might appear insensitive.

On gaining followers, Brent said it doesn’t grow overnight. It takes a lot of patience and testing the waters before you make it big. You also have to be consistent in uploading your videos. Don’t let the channel be idle for a long time. Keep your page updated.

When you finally gain your base of supporters, build rapport with them so you’d also know what they’d like to see on your vlog. You have to engage with them, so keep yourself relatable. Brent said he’s a very private person but he eventually opened up to his followers without giving away too much of his private life.

Lastly, you may want to invest in proper equipment. After all, vlogging is mainly about visuals.
