The Real Life Vlogger & Blogger

Well it all started a few years ago I had the sudden urge to explore YouTube more because all I was doing was filming things and putting them online without me being in the shots, in them days no HD just a poor camera phone and a cheap Vivitar camcorder which was not much better but cheap.

I found a certain YouTuber named Olan Rogers and I remember the first vlog I watched it was called Ghost in the Stall, this made me laugh so I got hooked on his vlogs and watched his previous ones each as good, then that made me search for more and more but it was not for another year that I found Joe Sugg and his sister Zoe on YouTube, this got me more interested and I started practicing talking to the camera just to see how easy it was but I gave up because I could not stand looking at myself on the editor, then Alfie Deyes started doing Daily Vlogs and Zoella did her Vlogmas then I found more vloggers and then I gave it another go and uploaded a video then a few more then stopped for a few months but kept watching other vloggers and then about a year ago or maybe longer I started doing more vlogs and getting more frequent but I was not gaining any subscribers maybe for the first few months I had about 5 lol but I never gave up then bit by bit I went up to 13 subscribers quite fast and now only at 58 but within the year and being 48 not exactly a youngster I think im doing ok. 

I am interacting more with other vloggers and building up a good friendship with some so now I can edit a vlog without cringing when I look at myself the confidence boost it gives you is quite powerful.

What I gain from watching other vloggers like the Michelaks is positive, caring, spontaneous,randomness,being me, 

So there you go thats a little about how I got started Being a Vlogger.

Yes I know im not going to get thousands and thousands of subscribers but thats not what its all about, to me its being a positive role model for someone and sharing my life with whoever wants to watch it, my life is not full of action or adventure well not yet anyway but I want to show people that being a YouTuber is not just for the young ones its for everyone.

My second Brighton vlog I wanted this separate because its all about the i360 experience which was brill. The full video was 25 mins long but cut it down to 12mins.
