HOW TO VLOG WITH NO IDEAS

[@PeterMcKinnon]

Wide? Or zoom? Or both? Snow? :)

[@pjasmine]

[@HaryoAdiaharyo23]

he had uploaded earlier than Peter 😂 I'm their notification squad lol

[@DEtectorCR]

Matti Haapoja I guess not! 😅 Hello Matti!

[@sahilahmed5038]

Matti is just so honest.

[@TonyKuzminVlogs]

"Flow of ideas starts when you start" sooooooooooooooo true!

[@scottsodyssey2485]

Same with songwriting. Just start writing, playing a melody on guitar.

[@JustAlexVidotto]

I couldnt agree more with this

[@BharatinGermany]

This has been most favorite video of yours. So raw and real. Absolutely love it.

[@alishagrezlik]

I have been wanting to start my vlog for literally ages but I keep holding myself back. I love when you give us advice like this. It's stuff I know but still need to hear. Thank you for being you and such an inspo. Thank you for challenging us. I love your dogs.

[@InnerResearcher]

Legit what I needed to hear. 30 minutes before watching this video, I was thinking "but I don't think my life is exciting, I'm not traveling as much as other vloggers, or have fancy things to show." and then I watched this and I love you so much and I'm layered, my story's layered, and you, Sir, told me exactly what I needed to hear

[@AaronScales]

Amen to that, sister!

[@BASEDinMaine]

Great to hear... im building this mentality up lately and need to just start pushing that momentum boulder forward... as Gary Vee says, dont get hung up on self judgment and just be consistent (i still suffer from inertia due to perfectionism tho...sucks!)

[@GeekSomePlays]

So true! It doesn't matter if you're not travelling or whatever. You can make going to the shopping centre (UK typing here! haha) or even going to the market, better and more exciting than vloggers who travel and think they need to do more extravagant things to vlog. I got a few on my channel, where I'm literally going to the apple store etc and been told they're more fun than people who go away on expensive trips etc just to vlog!

[@PrzemekG]

Thats right ! I am doing the same. All best from Wales !

[@GeekSomePlays]

@@PrzemekG Yes! I'm South Wales, based in Cardiff/Barry!

[@HerbBoysTV]

every video you post is like a movie to me doesn't matter what time it is or what im doing, i can just sit down and be entertained by you, even if you arent doing anything "entertaining"

[@lindawalker5112]

You are such an inspiration Peter! I'm 72 years old and I'm want to start vlogging. Perhaps my life experience can be a vlog in itself. Gosh, I can't wait to start vlogging!!

[@skellam8010]

Whenever I think I'm complaining too much, I run a few Peter vids. The guy is so perpetually HAPPY. Gives me inspiration to STFU and just go to work! Thanks Pete!

[@traviswilliams1296]

Great way to put it! We all need motivation and inspiration sometimes. Focus on the positives in life and positive people!

[@andysmith5221]

I love how Pete inspires everyone. I just got back from work and I have an hour to go walk the dog. After this I decided to grab my camera with just the 85mm and take it along. Not to vlog, as I don't do that. But to maybe, just maybe create an image of some sort.

[@tombuck]

I’ll upvote any video with a golden retriever. 👍

[@TVrayvaughan]

I'm going to be late for my meeting because of this early morning upload.

[@TVrayvaughan]

False alarm! Brushed my teeth while watching. Cell phones man, what did we do without these things?

[@nicklovinit]

Ain't that the truth haha

[@kaci7789]

Dylan Trahan I’m also gonna need a late slip from Peter!

[@RavenWednesday]

I was actually watching An older Vid of Peters as this one uploaded crazy lol

[@terlisaotome1344]

i'm on the total opposite end of that stick

[@jeremybassett588]

Been making b-roll montages and getting down about the lack of feedback. Great reminder Peter! The satisfaction of creating something is so much greater than the validation of posting it.

"Flow of ideas happens when you start. Don't just sit around and wait for them." !! YES

[@TanvirRijhwani]

Yess!!

[@DuncanSmith]

100% true that the best ideas don’t usually come until you get started working 👊🏻

[@chrisbrockhurst]

My dog does that exact face looking up at me too, melts the heart every time :)

[@FitnessArab]

When I watch your videos I do not feel bored even the video is long 💕 u inspire me peter , Thanks 💕

[@jonathan.holton]

I absolutely despise the cold and the snow, but in an effort to photograph more and be more creative, I embraced the snow last weekend and nabbed a few snowy pics. Watching your channel has helped me to start thinking in new ways and be a little more inspired. Thank you for being an inspiration to so many individuals!

[@AdamHansen95]

I don't vlog, and I don't want to pretend to be an expert, even though i've dabbled in vlogging, but what I think CAN help is to think about the kind of filming that you're doing. All vlogs are "documentaries" all of them are documenting what you want to be documented. And those that shoot documentaries don't ever have a script when they first start shooting, but what they do have are questions. And they find the answers to that question while they're shooting and talking to people. Perhaps the best thing you can do is not find ideas, but ask questions: questions that are as simple as, "What am I doing today?" "Who's coming to my house today" "who can I hang out with and what can we do together" A lot of vlogs are "Let's go to this particular place to get this particular item" and they document the variety of tiny challenges along the way like traffic or low gas or whatever. Around the holidays it's "Let's go home and spend time with family and show gifts" and stuff like that. So to answer the question, "What do I shoot?" the answer is a question, "What are you doing today?" or "What questions can you answer"

We can get down with you vlogging in the snow. Makes us feel like we're really immersed. Weird, but true. Anybody else feel like that?

I watched this about a week ago and it inspired me to stop putting this off and make something happen. I was worried that even with 70k+ subscribers, no one would watch it or care. And guess what? They might still not! But I had fun making it and and glad to have it out in the world. The only way I'll get better at it is through practice. I know you're a crazy busy man, but I would be ecstatic if you spared a few minutes to check it out. Thanks for all you do Peter!

Pete, I don’t know how this works but you hook us so well in your videos that it makes me think that you can make a vlog of you sitting at the test just editing and drinking coffee ☕️ for 10 minutes and we will watch all 10 minutes of it 😆😇

[@nolidcreations]

"Just getting started starts the flow of ideas." Love that 💯💜

[@SaraandBrandon]

Love the advice! Honestly just what I needed to hear. As a new creator sometimes you don't know what to do because you don't have the fanciest equipment or the money to go travel and make amazing vlogs and you have to make due with what you have, which can be demotivating but this little push and insight to literally "Just Do It" and vlog about anything and practice is so freaking true, so thank you!

[@zachandbro]

This gave me the drive to keep on creating. You can tell your story no matter where you are

[@JDirom]

Just getting into the habit of making things is such great advice! Long Live the Tradition of the hated Crocs!

Vlogging outside in the cold on a snowy day, a true Canadian way! P.s Way to tease your new office at the end. Now I gotta wait to see it in the next vlog.

[@AngelaTolsma]

I woke up this morning to snow on the ground and it made me grumpy and then watching you be all happy it's snowing and your b-roll made me want to head out and play in it.

[@jaysahu8321]

Man you have no idea how much you've helped me by your words I make sure to vlog each and every day!! Love your videos

[@Goghahahahahaeej]

Awwwwww is nobody gonna say a thing about the baby?! ❤❤❤

[@ThePatels]

I love winter! We are expecting a small snowfall here in NJ but not gonna be like T.O. I miss T.O so much. What a beautiful message, create something even if you don't post. I compare that with athletes they don't play every day but they without a fail exercise and practice every single day. p.s. Pete JR is such a cutie.

[@coreyss90]

You should totally do a video tutorial on how to make chemex coffee. I constantly struggle with the coffee to water ratio. I would love to see your process, man! Thanks!

[@altynaivlogs]

I had recently started my channel and slowly started to feel unmotivated after feeling like 'my life wasn't as exciting" as these other vloggers and this just helped so much. Thanks!

[@anandshetye7848]

Even after watching it after 4 years, it hits perfectly well and the vlog feels fresh as new. :D Miss these vlogs from you though.

[@daoudnawaz]

I love this video. It inspires me more so than all the other videos with crazy trips, gadgets and tricks. Just a message to create! “The flow of ideas usually starts after you get started” - I love that. I vow to create within a week of this comment 🙏🏼 Thank you for inspiring me (again) Pete ♥️

You're absolutely right on the flow of ideas starting when you start. I tend to over think since I'm new to vlogs, I'm teaching myself to just start and just go with it and see where the universe takes me when vlogging.

[@calebnichols3111]

[@lnfector]

This resonates to me as an architecture student. i find myself sitting here some times thinking of what to draw or what to design and then end up doing nothing, rather than just doing ANYTHING and seeing where it takes you. once you start the ideas flow which allows you to change and adapt but if you never start in the first place you become stuck.

[@rj934]

I didn’t know what to think about this vlog at first. Then it made me smile. Then it became introspective, and finally it revealed something about your creative process. In the end, I said interesting and smiled. Thank you.

I can totally agree with you when you said once you start you get ideas !! Sitting around trying to think of an idea is the worst 😂 also anyone here wana give me advice... do you still post a video if your subscribers really want it even if your not happy with it ? (Travel vlog) I cant just make it again.... haha thanks... peter if you do read this comment ! You inspire me so much to just make videos for the fun of it nothing else 😀

[@RoadsofFaith]

Yes! Sometimes those are the ones I get the most comments on! I find that adding great music to a not-so-great travel video can make it so much better.

[@Musatainment]

Always do what you like! If you are going to create videos YOU need to have fun first. Cuz if you don't, then no one will. Trust me on this. I started of making car videos, but wasn't really feeling it, so I did a complete 360 from making car videos to making Vlogs. I had some people unsubscribe but I gained a lot of subs only because I truly enjoy what I am doing and people like my content. Don't do it for people, do it for yourself and the people WILL follow you! All the best man!
