How to Earn By Creating Video Contents and Gaming

Actually, you do not need money to start vlogging, all you need is a mobile phone to shoot a video, a screen recorder, or a whiteboard animation program. Most of us already have a mobile phone and there are already a lot of free tools for whiteboard animations or screen recording. You also need a video editor and you can get one for free. Tools are free, you need skills to use these tools. However, you need money to register a domain and host your blog. Blogging costs money whereas vlogging is almost free.

Do you Vlog?

Blogging means writing articles and publishing online on your own websites/blogs or article writing sites. Vlogging means publishing video articles and publishing on video-sharing platforms like Youtube, Facebook etc.

Even though there are a lot of vlogging platforms where you can publish your videos and earn from your videos, youtube remains the most popular choice for vlogging. As long as you can create video content, you can become a vlogger and make money from vlogging.

Getting started is not very difficult, if your video is ready you can start your vlog in less than 5 minutes. Making money from videos is not very difficult provided you create useful and interesting content.

I had a youtube channel for a long time but I never cared to upload videos and start vlogging until April last year. When Covid pandemic put me locked in the house, I decided to spend my time doing something creative, therefore, I decided to vlog. Then I started creating videos and uploading on my channel. Over the months, I promoted my channel and videos aggressively and managed to get some subscribers and views on videos. Sadly, I could not reach the monetization threshold and soon lost motivation to continue with my youtube channel.
