Hello to the Blogging World - Week 2 Activity

I'm not the blogging type of person... Not that I know of anyways. It has never caught my interest since I'm the type of person who takes a really long time to read and visualize what is going on. That's why I watch "vloggers" instead, a nice and quicker way of understanding the person and their views about anything and everything. An example would be like the Youtubers Timothy DeLaGhetto and Bart Kwan. They both have unique personalities and have different views because of their very different lives but still positive either way. Vlogs are a lot easier to see someone's personality than a blog. I consider these to be good vlogs because they openly express their thoughts in a way the viewer can understand and relate. To me, if I can turn their style of vlogging into words, then I know that this will be a blogging style that I can comfortably continue with for however long.

With that said, the purpose of my blogs will be to allow the community to see how I see things and feel how I feel towards certain subjects. With the power of words, a pencil, a pen and a piece of paper, I intend to pull in the community and make space for people to question, critique and possibly be educated by what is to come.

My intentions are to create relevant and resourceful posts. Things that people can easily understand and relate to. I even intend to create some kind of hand drawing related to upcoming activities and post. Why you may ask? Well, whilst watching the video in the lecture where the artist is drawing everything that is being said, everyone's eyes were peeled to the screen as it was very captivating. Mine won't be as amazing but it wouldn't be the same as the vlogging style if their wasn't anything to look at apart from words. Maybe I can get better at blogging and drawing over time!

My strategy to gain readers is to simply make content worth coming to read and look at. I intend to engage with readers and promote my blog through social media platforms and engage with other students by commenting and sharing my thoughts. Advertising is clearly the main strategy, but making people like my blogs and having them talk about it to other people is even better.

So which Youtube vloggers do you follow or enjoy? Let me know so I can check them out. Also, give me a theme to make for my next blog drawing? Hopefully it will be better.
