Thank you very much Rupert for the nod. It is very much appreciated. Content, content, content. I miss the days of going to my favourite vloggers only to find they've stopped posting videos. I've personally challenged myself to keep the videos rolling. @Rupert/Clintus Glad to see you have discovered 12sec videos. Even with 12 seconds, you are still capturing moments in time. Just think of the enjoyment when your daughter (or son) is showing your grandchildren videos of when they were kids. Magic moments saved for life.
I don't have an interesting life of world travel, but I continue to post vlogs from my backyard and Cabana (750 vlogs since April'06). I've found the videoblogging group as a great source for content ideas and challenges; NaVloPoMo, Semanal and Drunk-Underwear-Karaoke. I urge everyone to just keep shooting videos... you'll be the big winner in the end. As Irina said, there are very few that can make money in this vlogging hobby. I'm discovering that having years of video memories is worth more then any financial compensation. With that said, I'd love nothing more then an opportunity to get outta of the backyard and head to LA. I could represent the voice of an average Joe Vlogger. With a cheap camcorder and free processes (freevlog.org FTW), anyone can capture their own video diary/scrapbook to keep and share forever. I'm stealing Clintus' saying... "Vlog on bitches".
