My Best Vlogging Tips | What Do You Say When Vlogging?

[@jasonwish-]

Randy, this was so well done...very professional! I even watched it a second time to show it to my son, who just started his own outdoor channel. This was so helpful, and I learned a lot! You are a natural vlogger! My mind is boggled that this video does not have like ten thousand views already! I think its only a matter of time before your channel explodes!

[@AmericasParks]

Hey Jason, hope you are doing well and enjoying your Father's Day! Thanks for the very thoughtful words. Really glad to know you found the video useful, brother!

Randy, Excellent instructional video of how to VLOG. OK, it’s official - I have watched all your AMERICA’S PARK videos now. This is my last one of your first 285 videos, how appropriate that it be the behind-the-scenes highlight! We will keep watching all your videos over and over again, and keep an eye out for the new ones. Your vlogging is outstanding, with kindness, positivity, and wisdom. Never having a goal to show everything there is to possibly see, but to inspire us to go there. A tease of what the park has to offer, and some sights not to miss. You have a special knack for making us feel we are with you on each hike or overlook. Awesome editing and most of all, I hope you enjoy and have fun making these videos as much as we enjoy watching them. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING, . . . Mike

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks for those very encouraging words, Mike!

I think as creators who are constantly trying to improve our vloggs, we sometimes get side tracked by all the so called experts who claim to have the answers and processes to build a successful channel. I know I have watched to many of those "How to build your channel" videos telling you what you need to do to be successful. Your video puts it all back into context. Just be yourself and share your experience in your own natural way. After watching your video, I sat back in my chair and to a sigh of relief. I have been concentrating more on what to do after uploading a video rather then concentrating on how I convey myself in the videos. Thank you, and very well done.

[@AmericasParks]

That was a super-encouraging comment to read - thank you, your genuineness meant a lot to me! I have learned that we will never compete with Hollywood, but they are actors and many people enjoy seeing the reality of another's life. Keep it real and keep having fun! -Randy

[@adavell]

Yep! I knew I have found something good when I saw your compilation of parks some days ago. Today, early in the morning, I decided to start waking up with one of your videos and randomly chose this one. It ended up being not about watching beautiful views, it was even better, it was food for thought. You surprised me again. And it is not just about the valuable technicalities you offer, I enjoyed listening to a person that knows how to enjoy life, that loves other people and that takes time to teach love. Yes, love doesn't seem to be a subject to be taught at first, but it is. Sharing with others how to be successful is love towards those strangers. What you said about angry people and how not to respond with more darkness was so beautiful to hear... you got me not only as a subscriber but as a real follower in need of faith. Faith in the goodness of humans. I am an immigrant and, since I have a slight accent, I endure the daily pain of being questioned (or attacked) every day. And I practice not to engage in the negative but to show what I can contribute to help. 95% of the time I end up having nice conversations and being accepted and I have made very good friends. But, having to prove that you "come in peace" is exhausting. You lose your faith and become more reclusive. You give me faith. How about that to go with coffee in the morning? HA! Thank you!

[@AmericasParks]

Thank you so much for those beautiful words! We need many more people like you in this crazy world! I'm thankful you have enjoyed the videos and have found them inspiring. You definitely give me more credit than I deserve :) God has does an amazing work in my life and I am grateful He never gives up on me! Welcome to the channel and thanks again for sharing your heart!

[@adavell]

@@AmericasParks I really appreciate you are grateful for the gifts received. I believe everybody gets gifts of some sort throughout their lives but many of those gifts go unapreciated. When we are grateful for what we get, we somehow absorb more blessings, we induce that change somehow... positivism, faith, joy... I don't know the exact formula for happiness but gratitude is certainly the road to it. So, keep smiling, sharing, and being grateful and positive! Thank you again!

[@AmericasParks]

@@adavell Thanks again and keep sharing your love to others! We desperately need more of it!

Hi Pastor Randy, we watch this video often as a reminder as we strive to put out a successful vlog. We are approaching 2000 subs now and this video was a huge help to us.

[@AmericasParks]

Really appreciate that feedback! 2,000 subs... great milestone, my friend!

[@Hanginwithherky]

Randy, my wife and I are so happy we stumbled on your channel. This video has encouraged us to always be improving our videos but also keep showing the real us. We continue to vlog our travels in our tiny camper with our cute little dog. God bless you are your family we appreciate the hard work you put into your channel.

[@AmericasParks]

Thanks, guys, that means a lot to me! Glad to hear you found this video helpful! I was introduced to vlogging several years ago and found it to be so fascinating. I'm still looking for ways to improve. Enjoy your travels and keep the video production work fun! God bless!

Hey Randy I'm really glad you made a video like this because when it comes to Vlogging you are very good at it! I felt like I was watching a professional teacher teach a lesson just now. You made a lot of great points and I will have to use these a lot of these tips in the future. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and God bless you and your family.

[@AmericasParks]

Appreciate that, Eric! You always leave very thoughtful and warm comments. We need more genuine encouragers like you in this world!

Hey Randy...how's things??? I have watched many peoples Vlogs and you are the first one to explain the "what and how" of producing a good and interesting Vlog....Well done....Hank and Pam

Well done Randy. Watched entire clip.you made some excellent points in this clip.i have accualy tried to stick to most of these suggestions in my vlogs.im just not that interesting.make no mistake though, your excellent editing style and videography are one of the many reasons I was drawn to the channel. The fact that you were willing to respond to comments and correspond was great also and I gained a lot of knowledge regarding the sites from you.your channel and most importantly, your friendship have motivated me to work harder on my videos as well.looking to head up to Santa rosa/ San Jacinto national monument on Monday if all goes as planned. Take care my friend.

[@AmericasParks]

Cool words and an encouragement to read, Robert! You do a great job too! Like you, always looking to improve. Have a blast on your trip. Looking forward to the video!

Great advice sir! My most successful videos are definitely my how-to videos as well haha. And I can't blame anyone because what do I mostly do on youTube? Figure out how to do things when my RV is falling apart or I need to fix something on the truck etc. How Tos are always easier to understand visually than just in words in my opinion. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!! - Shane

[@AmericasParks]

That was well-said, Shane! KZbin is so good for this. I'm a visual guy as well!

[@Bigodog88travels]

My videos I make are usually a combination of pictures and short video clips. I've been debating on whether or not I should try to start vlogging.

[@AmericasParks]

Definitely an interesting format. Keeps it personal, but also causes you to spend more time thinking through your thoughts on the trip.

[@SuperJdizzle22]

I'm an Introvert, I really want to start vlogging but I'm just not to good with being on camera or just knowing what to even say. It seems so hard for an introvert. I drive Semi trucks for a living and that's what I would vlog about. My experience

[@AmericasParks]

From my experience, not all vloggers are great speakers. Most of them are 1. genuine and 2. with good content. You will probably have a good audience as your niche is unknown to most. Give it a shot - the comfort will improve in time!

[@SuperJdizzle22]

@@AmericasParks thank you for your reply . Yeah I've been looking at Lapel Mics for my phone. Was going to buy a go pro but honestly I need to just get past the whole not knowing what to say thing and just give it a shot as you mentioned. Maybe I can continue to learn Davinci Resolve and make great edits to make up. Lol

@@SuperJdizzle22 Personally I like the idea of having "trucker" and "vlogs" in there (along with some version of your name) to identify yourself.

[@ivi122]

This is such a good video. I’m sure first time vloggers don’t know what to talk about bec it’s awkward lol 😆

[@AmericasParks]

Just my thoughts too which prompted me to make this video with the help of my daughter. Personally thought it would do a little better. So tough to predict this stuff! lol!

[@ivi122]

Americas Parks I know right. I would think a video like this would get more views but that’s ok bec even if you’ve helped a dozen people it’s worth making the video. You seem to enjoy making videos so keep doing what makes you happy! Maybe soon you can make a video on what exactly to pack for long hikes or maybe even do a sit down “interview” with each of your kids and wife for your viewers to get to know them better?
