Here's one way to go if you are stuck on what to do a vlog post, or series of posts, about:
People always enjoy a little drama. Drama happens when there is some sort of challenge that needs to be overcome. That creates suspense (how will this turn out) and empathy (everyone can relate to someone who is facing a challenge). This can be done with the most mundane topics. So, for example, I'm doing videos now on implementing a new filing system. The thing is, people can relate to the challenge of dealing with masses of paper piling up all over the place. It's also cool, 'cause people can learn something from your efforts. And there are lots of opportunities for humor (one look at my desk=instant hilarity). Anyway, there's got to be other good approaches, but this one works for me. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Ted Tagami <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This is such a great topic!
