This video is a comprehensive beginner's guide to starting a vlogging channel on YouTube. It covers everything from choosing a vlog type and generating content ideas to equipment, shooting techniques, editing, packaging, and growth strategies. The creator emphasizes the importance of relatability and unique experiences, and shares 'secret tricks' used by successful vloggers.
99% of bloggers make the mistake of vlogging their daily routine without a clear purpose. Instead, understand why vlogging channels work: they run on relatability or unique experience.
All successful vlogs run on either relatability (e.g., village life, joint family) or unique experience (e.g., traveling to Japan, eating at dhabas). Examples: Passenger Paramveer, Monkey Magic, R Raja for unique; Saurav Joshi, Flying Beast, Armaan Malik for relatable.
Viral vlogs depend on unique ideas. Examples: Monkey Magic took an HRTC bus to Ladakh instead of a car; Sourav Joshi ate raw food on a banana leaf (21M views); giving seven gifts on seventh birthday (16M views).
Don't just record daily life; add drama, sadness, pain, and storytelling. Example: If LPG runs out, pretend the nearby shop doesn't have it and you have to go to another city. People love drama.
Repeatable content (e.g., Saurav Joshi buying a new car every 3 months, Armaan Malik marrying every year) keeps views coming. Trending content (e.g., Ukraine war, Dulloor 2, Alien Kind Restaurant) gives a boost. Experiment with trends, then repeat what works.
In 2026, YouTube's algorithm favors short form. Beginners should use short form to gain views. From each vlog, create three shorts: mini vlog (1-min summary), peak event (most interesting part), and meme format (funny moment).
You only need a camera, mic, and lights. Your phone is enough for beginners (1080p, good audio, natural light). If you have money, invest in a tripod, mic, and artificial light for around ₹500.
Hold your phone so you can easily flip between front and back angles. Keep your mouth near the phone for good voiceover. Use 0.6x zoom to capture more details.
1) Trimming: remove dead moments, keep fast pace. 2) Color grading: make scenes look better. 3) Background music: match emotion (e.g., upbeat for excitement, calm for normal). 4) Intro: hook the audience with a teaser (e.g., show a car crash without explaining). 5) Packaging: thumbnail and title.
Thumbnail: take a screenshot of the main part of the video, enhance with Snap Edit, add visual expressions (e.g., shocked face). Title: should justify the thumbnail and tell the story (e.g., 'Such a big TV, Papa shocked').
Collaborate with other creators to mix audiences. Example: Archana Puran Singh did a vlog with Saurav Joshi, gaining 7 lakh views; Saurav Joshi went to Gamers Fluid's blog. Small bloggers should collaborate with local creators.
Shoot like a director, giving screen time to other characters. Examples: Dimple Malan features her family, Farah Khan features her cook. Build characters (e.g., neighborhood panwari) to make vlogs interesting.
Post consistently. Saurav Joshi posts daily for 5 years; Farah Khan and Dimple Malan post every third day. You can't expect virality without consistency.
To succeed in vlogging, you must understand your audience's desire for relatability or unique experiences, create engaging content with drama, leverage short-form for growth, and master the basics of shooting, editing, and packaging. Consistency and collaboration are the final keys to long-term success.

12:46[00:01] or not. But after watching this video, you will gain such views on your first blog. I am going to tell you everything from selecting the blog type to finding daily blog ideas and from the right equipment to editing techniques, that too from the basics. So do
[00:14] because this video is a complete vlogging course and at the end of the video I have also shared some secret tricks for you guys. So let's start [bell sounds] the first mistake that 99% of bloggers make is that
[00:29] walk today then its vlog. Went to meet a friend yesterday, so his vlog. Mom cooked food the day before yesterday, so here's a vlog about it. You do n't have to make this mistake. Before starting a vlogging channel, you need to understand why vlogging channels work? And
[00:42] what are the big vloggers doing that you are not doing ? Now all the vlogs in the world, whether running from only two regions. The first is relatability and the second is unique experience. Let me explain. How many of you have been to Japan or
[00:55] how many of you have gone from Kashmir to Kanyakumari for free or how many of you travel and eat food in daily trucks. All these experiences are unique. There is something unique that not everyone can experience in life. And this is the reason why people like Passenger
[01:08] Paramveer or Monkey Magic or R Raja get views because they are if I ask how many of you live in the village and do farming. I am sure there will be many. How many of you live with a joint family? There will be many again.
[01:21] And how many of you are married and live with your wife? There will be many again. This thing is called relativity. Blogs like Saurav Joshi, Flying Beast, Armaan Malik get views because
[01:33] relate to. Not unique, but relatable. Before starting your blogging channel, you should know what you want to give to the audience. Because if you don't know this then the audience will never understand why they should subscribe to your channel
[01:46] not know what to expect from you. Now let's say you have decided what you want to give to the audience. Even after that, every blogger faces a problem. That is the content idea. [bell ringing] Whether
[01:59] or not you become a viral vlogger depends entirely on your vlog ideas. If Monkey Magic wanted, he could have gone to Ladakh by his car or bike. But he went by HRTC bus. This is the unique idea due to which
[02:12] this vlog has become more popular than normal. If Sourav Joshi wanted, he could have eaten food at a nice house or restaurant. But he ate raw food on a banana leaf. This is a unique idea which has garnered 21 million views. A normal gift could have been given on the child's birthday.
[02:24] But giving seven gifts on the seventh birthday was a unique idea due to which this blog also got more than 16 million views. Overall, you must have understood work. But the problem is how to find ideas? The answer is very simple.
[02:37] Be creative. If you sit down every morning with your camera, your vlog will not work. You will have to use your brain. If the LPG runs out at home, do not go straight to the nearby shop and get it. Add drama to the story. Pretend that the nearby shop does not have LPG. I will have to go to another
[02:50] city. If you are hungry at night, don't make Maggi and show it to Vogue. Show how Joe sneaked out and got caught. If you have gone to take bath in the village pond, then do not show how you are taking bath. Show how difficult it was to reach the pond.
[03:02] friend was scared with a fake snake. People love to see sadness, pain and drama. If you add these three things to your blog then your blog will run 100%. Now it is two types of content running inside blogs. One is repeatable and the
[03:17] other is trending. Repeatable content is content that you know will keep playing over and over again and that your audience enjoys watching. Despite having a car, Saurav Joshi buys a new car every third month for himself or for his younger brother because
[03:29] this is repeatable content. Every time he brings the car, his views increase. Armaan Malik gets married every year as it is repeatable content for him. Where after every new marriage he posts the same type of video for 3 to 6 months. Now
[03:41] you do n't have to get married or buy a new car to create repeatable content. I know you do Therefore, you have to experiment with trending ideas and then repeat them. Let me explain what trending ideas are. Passenger Paramveer left the whole world and went to Ukraine at the present time
[03:55] because the war between Ukraine and Russia is still trending. made a Niche review video on Dulloor 2 release as Dulloor 2 is trending. Ayush went to try Alien Kind Restaurant because it was trending on Instagram. You have to create
[04:08] content related to whatever trend is going on in any way. Either by giving a review or just by giving your opinion or by kind of content is getting views. Start repeating the content that is getting views
[04:21] and the views of your blogs will never go down. You can do this even in mini vlogs. When this love wood doll became a trend during Mini Vogue, everyone bought it. When matcha became a trend, everyone taught how to make it. When Ambani's wedding became a
[04:33] trend, everyone gave their opinion. If you want to give relatable content to the audience want to give a unique experience then give it with sorrow and pain and your ideas will gain a good number of views. Now you also know what type of blog to create and
[04:46] also know on which type of topic to create the blog. But I am sure one question will still be make long form or short form. So let's discuss this as well. In 2026, the entire algorithm of YouTube has changed significantly. And at present,
[05:01] not ignore short form content and if you are a beginner then short form content is God for you. Because on short form you can gain such views without any vlog you create, you will have to create short form content. But there is a trick to
[05:15] gain views even in short form without much effort, which I will tell you. you can easily create three short form content from it that will go viral. The very first mini vlog. Summarize everything that happened in the entire vlog within 1 minute
[05:29] and upload it. Second peak event. The most important part of the entire vlog or let's say the most interesting part was simply cut out and uploaded without any editing. Third meme format. If there is any moment in your blog that can be
[05:42] any moment in your blog that can be post it. If you do this, three things will happen. People who watch the first mini vlog will subscribe to you because they got the vlog within 1 minute.
[05:54] Secondly, your video will reach those people who are running shorts for time pass people will leave shorts and come to watch your long form videos due to which your views will increase and due to the third format your shorts will get a good number of views due to which
[06:07] more and more people will come to know that you have a blog channel. I also I have gained a good number of views. This strategy is very useful for beginners ways to go viral on short form
[06:20] So if you want me to make a separate video on this then I will definitely make a separate video on this.
[06:33] what equipment should you have to start a vlog channel and how much will it cost? It only takes three things to make a good vlog. Camera, mic and lights. And you have all three of these things. If you are a beginner then you do not need to spend even ₹1. Because your phone will
[06:47] also shoot video in 1080p. It will capture audio well and if you blog outside then there will be no problem with light. You just need to know how to use your phone properly, But for now, you don't need investment. But
[07:00] again, if you have the money and want to make your videos even better, then I would prefer that you invest in a good tripod, a mic and an artificial greatly increase the quality of your videos and the
[07:12] audience will also like it. You can get all these three things for just ₹500. In this you get light and also a short gun mic which will record the sound well
[07:25] I have tagged the link of this product in the video if you want to buy it. because with the right recording technique explain. The problem with most bloggers is that they do
[07:39] n't turn out smooth. If you are shooting your vlog on your phone, then you have to hold your phone in such a way that when you want to show the front angle, you can easily flip your phone. transition inside your phone. The second thing is that when you record like this,
[07:52] your mouth will be near your phone. So your voice over will come out quite correctly. And when the phone is like this, it can capture your lip syncing. A person can understand what you were trying to say. And one more thing you have to do is keep your phone at
[08:04] 0.6x. A lot of details are missed if kept at 1x. At 0.6x, a lot of details are available. So you have to do this thing. It is very easy to shoot vlogs with the phone. But just recording a good vlog will not make you a good vlog because
[08:18] what secret tricks big vloggers use for editing after shooting. you are ruining your blog. If you want to
[08:32] work on only five things. The very first trimming. No blogger ever uploads his entire shot Everyone removes dead moments from the first video. For example, if I will not post the entire part of waking up in the morning, then getting ready and then the car scene.
[08:48] Rather, I will finish everything in just three lines and three shots and take the story forward. You need to remove anything from your blog where you can't add some commentary. This will keep your blog fast paced
[09:01] and maintain the interest of the audience. At the same time, you should not cut the parts of those moments which are interesting of those moments which are interesting is most interested in those moments and trimming the video will make the audience angry. Another trick
[09:13] grading. No place in the world is as beautiful as the ones you see in vlogs. All vloggers color grade their videos to make the scene look even better. Daily bloggers do this a little less, but travel bloggers and fruit
[09:26] give them a more dynamic feel, you'll also need to do color grading. Third is background music. Background that bring life to a vlog. If you are going from Delhi to Haryana and you have a
[09:40] 30-minute clip of the car, then shorten it to just 1 minute and do upload it with background music so that the audience also feels the emotion that you felt in the car. less background music. If you're in a hurry, add short clips and cataclysmic
[09:56] background music. If everything was normal then put casual background music. so definitely use music. Now the last editing trick which actually decides whether the video will play or not is the intro. The job of the intro is to
[10:09] then no one will watch the entire video. Now let us see how to make the intro interesting. It was a 26-minute daily vlog. was the car crashing. That's why the video starts
[10:23] by showing the damaged parts of the car. But the intro did not explain what happened or how it happened and after that the normal vlog started. This is how After which they will watch the entire vlog just to know how this thing happened. Now
[10:37] how do you make all this, how do you do it? I have beginner friendly editing course. So if you have not edited anything till date then definitely watch this video because after this you will become a master of editing also.
[10:50] Now you know everything from recording a blog to editing it. But imagine you created a nice blog and posted it but no one clicked on it. This is what happens with most bloggers because they do not pay attention to packaging.
[11:02] Therefore, we learn this also quickly. title. These are the two things that the audience sees first after which they decide whether to watch the video or not. Now learn how to make it interesting.
[11:16] To create thumbnails for blogs, you need to go to the main part of your video. That blog has been created. For example, if you have bought a new TV, then go to the part of the video where the TV is and then take a screenshot of it. Now it is possible that the
[11:29] quality of screenshots may not be good in many people's phones. So you can simply go to Image Enhance of Snap Edit and upload your image here and download it in good quality. It is totally free to use. Now here is your thumbnail. But it's still
[11:41] not good enough for people to click on it. So you have to breathe life into the thumbnail. How do they do it? By adding visual expressions within the thumbnail. Like, if you are showing TV in the thumbnail, then show the reaction of someone along with the TV.
[11:53] Then the thumbnail has a feel and people can feel what you want them to feel. Sourav Joshi also does the same. This was just a part of the packaging. The second part is the title. You have to keep the title of your video such that when
[12:06] someone reads it and sees the thumbnail, he understands the entire story of what is going to happen inside the video. If a new TV has come and we have shown shocking expressions then the title should also be something that justifies why the person is shocked?
[12:18] So the title could be written something like this. Such a big TV, Papa shocked or such an expensive this way, people will automatically click on your video also watch the entire video. Now you know all the tricks from creating a blog to uploading it properly.
[12:33] secrets which are used by big bloggers due to which they are able to grow quickly and you are not able to grow. So let me quickly [bell ringing]
[12:46] secret. I want you to subscribe to the channel because I share information related to YouTube which people do not even tell in their paid courses. it means you're serious about YouTube. So even though big bloggers may have
[12:59] they still use a strategy due to which their is the strategy of collaborating. Despite being a big celebrity, Archana Puran Singh recently did a vlog shoot with Saurabh Joshi. Due to which
[13:13] 7 lakh people saw him on his blog. More than 90 lakh people saw Archana in Saurav Joshi's blog also subscribe to Archana ji's blog channel. In the same way, Saurav Joshi also went to Gamers Fluid's blog so that Gamers Fluid's audience could come to his channel and similarly
[13:26] every blogger keeps visiting each other's blog so that the audience of both gets mixed and both get views. At the same time, in the beginning, small bloggers have a different ego that doing this you are harming yourself.
[13:38] get even 100 extra views because of someone else, then it is your benefit and not your loss. So it doesn't matter what type of blog you create. You have to collaborate with your local bloggers or close creators. By doing this your subscribers will increase very quickly.
[13:51] But this was just a trick. The second secret trick that big bloggers are using is directing. Where you are busy creating the entire blog alone. You Whereas big bloggers do the total opposite of this. He
[14:04] shoots blogs like a director. Where he gives proper screen time to everyone. gives proper screen time to everyone. you all know all the members of his family very well.
[14:16] You can see everyone in Dimple Malan's vlogs and you know everyone well. Para Khan especially features her cook in her vlogs as he is a character that the audience loves to watch. In the blogs of every big blogger, you will
[14:28] see many characters who have their own audience base. You too have to either bring or build similar characters in your blog. Only one like that in your life then it does n't matter.
[14:41] Involve the neighborhood panwari and he will definitely be an interesting character. If one of your friends is a unique character, then introduce him like Ayush did with Bhola. Unless you do this, your vlogs will not become interesting. And finally, the
[14:53] last secret trick that bloggers follow is consistency. Saurav Joshi has been posting daily vlogs for the last 5 years. That's why he is so famous. Despite being such a big celebrity, Farah Khan posts a vlog every third day. Dimple Manan also
[15:05] posts a vlog every third day. You ca n't just post a vlog for a month or six months and expect it to go viral. You will have to maintain consistency here. unless you are consistent. Whether you are in the mood or not, whether you have content or not,
[15:19] but do post something. You will be able to go viral only if you upload it. Now I hope and grow it very quickly. But if you want to know blogging in more detail reveal the secret strategies of all the famous bloggers then help me in gaining 1 million views on this video.
[15:33] video touches 1 million views then I will definitely make its second part. See you in the definitely make its second part. See you in the next video
