In January, I tried vlogging for the first time. I was excited but nervous!

I spent a few weeks filming indoors and outdoors, showing some shots of my typical day.

There were moments when I was talking with my friends about their businesses. I asked them questions that made them think deeply about their work and goals.

What I really liked about vlogging was how free it felt. I could express myself in my own way and talk about anything that came to mind. It was like having real conversations, just with a camera recording everything.

But I also faced some challenges. The biggest one was even though the topics can be fluid, the flow can be vast.

After this experience, I learned something important: my next vlog needs to focus on just one topic flow.

This will help me make better videos that are easier to follow. For example, if I choose to talk about starting a small business, I’ll stick to just that instead of letting the conversation drift too far.

To anyone who wants to start vlogging: just give it a try!

You don’t need to make perfect videos. Start simple, learn as you go, and most importantly, be yourself. That’s…
