Would you like to earn millions by talking about your favorite subject? A new generation of vloggers have become millionaires by sharing make-up tutorials, comedy sketches and gaming videos. These people didn't start off with fancy equipment, expert technical knowledge or huge audiences. They are self-made. This book examines how they achieved success and provides a step by step guide to the process of finding fame and fortune online. Featuring advice from vloggers including Jim Chapman, Fleur De Force and KSI alongside business tips from YouTube CBO Robert Kyncl and Gleam Futures founder Dominic Smales, this book contains insider information about the mechanics of making money by vlogging. Subjects covered include brand-building, filming and editing equipment techniques, social media, working with talent managers, dealing with digital marketing agencies, making merchandise and negotiating with brands.
I picked up this book because I'm a newbie on youtube, vlogging or film/videomaking in general. Loved the fact that the title caught my attention from the beginning. The interesting part for me as a beginner was the first 8 chapters. Although, there are details that is outdated (because the system is upgrading constantly, obviously) but not obsolete and still helpful. I found insights from a blogger perspective. I was looking for less technical details but it seems like this book is a compilation and case studies of some successful vloggers or youtubers (mostly from the UK) which I'm honestly not familiar. So, I'll go back on the latter part/chapters of this book once I've reached a certain milestone. It is indeed a guide for a newbie vlogger who might know only a few about the platform and how the system works.
