    Hello, video blogging can be very exciting and a fun thing to do, just the thought of being famous across the internet gets some people interested in this type of thing, in 2007 i was one of the users who enjoyed uploading a video blog every few days and seeing my channel progress.

    Tips on Starting Video Blogging -

    -At first you will most likely be nervous, not make many high quality videos, get next to no views and not feel very succesful, but everyone feels like this at first, and frequant video making will increase your confidence and creativity, and allow you in the future to make fantastic videos enjoyed by hundreds, maybe thousands or even millions on the site, just check out a few succesful youtubers first ever uploads, and you can see a huge increase in confidence and creativity in their newer videos.

    -Keep a video as short as possible, usually in the Region of 3:00-5:00, although many people spend longer on videos when your first starting out you will most likely subconciously ramble on and repeat things, in which case the viewer will get bored.

    -Try to think of a few topics before hand and write a few things done that you would like to talk about, for instance on a first video, bloggers will usually introduce themselves, the type of videos they will upload and how often.

    -If you canno't think of a new topic to talk about, find a youtube video that you really like which is asking a question/telling users to send a video response, then you are basically Commenting/responding and giving your opinions in video form rather than text, this can also get you a lot of views.

    -Try to be original and not upload a type of video which has already been created a hundred other times, originality sparks curiousity and so more people are likely to be drawn to your video.

    -After finishing your video, try watching it back and writing down the positives and negatives you think were in the video, and think how you could improve that in future videos

    -Most importantly this is supposed to be fun, and with practice you will get better so just go with the flow, and DO NOT be put off by ignorant comments, users are often jelaous or just want to cause a scene, so don't worry about it.

    HOW to get more views on your videos -

    -Put a well recognised and relevant Title to your video

    -In the tags put a mixture of things you think will be searched for, some should be relevant to your video, some can be irrelevant

    -Get friends & Family to watch your videos + get them to tell their friends

    -Post a link on your social networking site

    -Become friends with other youtube users and watch/rate/comment each others videos

    Finally a few topics you could talk about:

    -Current events

    -Hobbies

    -Scary/Funny/Strange experiences

    -School

    -Talents

    -General life diary

    Hope this helps you.

    It all depends upon the niche that you are interested, if you are good in entertainment or traveling, then make videos as per the niche. Blogging is just like this yahoo answers. Write title of the video, description of the video tags of the video, these are things that involve in blogging.
