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.
Captivated Title. It may be one of the strategies if I wasn't wrong. Lol
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the first activity, good flow to the blog and good to see your putting in a bit of your own personality into it
ReplyDeleteLove the illustration! Using original imagery is always a great option.
ReplyDeleteYouTubers I follow are Community Channel, Jenna Marbles and Jacks Films (Specifically his Your Grammar Sucks eps)
The most unique post I've read yet. Really enjoyed it! I was trying to get at this in my post as well, where I discussed how blogs are sort of "old world" now and they need to be supported with other types of social media. YouTube is a good example of that. A lot of people who originally wrote blogs moved over to YouTube as it's basically now the faster way to blog (or vlog). Perhaps next semester the coordinator should consider allowing students to blog via audio or video as well.
ReplyDeleteI reckon that would be pretty sweet. But can you imagine them marking every single vlog and all the excuses people would make if they were unable to upload their files?
DeleteI think maybe you can use Pinterest to promote your blog. You can create a Pinterest account, and post your hand drawing on it, and don't forget to add your blog link, maybe it will help bring some readers to your blog here!
ReplyDeleteHi Winston,
ReplyDeleteI do agree that vlogs could express much better than blogs. But, it also varies from person to person whether a person wants to read or to watch videos. A prolific reader would definitely prefer a blog and don't care vlogs. Also, you have made a mention about everyone in our class staring at the screen when the cartooning vlog was shown. Prettly interesting that you have recollected interesting things and also made an interesting read. Keep it up!!!!! Happy Blogging :)
That is very true good sir. Yeah, I wasn't giving my full attention until that video was played. I'm glad you enjoyed the read.
DeleteReally liked this blog. Inspirational. Thanks
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post. I find that the vblog is really important, after I read your post, and it makes me realized that it really can much better to deliver the feeling than writing. good job !
