Get Rich Vlogging Review and Giveaway - Ends 07/08

Today on my blog I have a number of copies of the book Get Rich Vlogging to giveaway. My husband Mr W vlogs over on our travel blog Fly Drive Explore so I have asked him to review this book and tell us what he thinks. Over to you Mr W...

A review of Get Rich Vlogging by By Mr W from Fly Drive Explore




At first I was slightly apprehensive about this book as it appears to be aimed at the teenager to twenty something who starts every vlog with “Hi Guys!!!”.  As I am in the forties and my vlog will be aimed at travel rather than general lifestyle I was not sure how useful this book would be.

Once I started reading the introduction and looking through  the chapters I soon realised that although the examples given were from ‘younger’ lifestyle vlogs, the hints and tips were useful for any genre of vlog and the basic principles are the same.

The early chapters addressed the ideal length of a vlog, the appearance and finding your unique voice in the crowded YouTube arena.  There are tips on applying consistency and getting a regular schedule of posts. What I found particularly useful were the technical tips on lighting, camera choices and editing (advice given for both PC and Mac Software).



There is also lots of advice on how to use the variety of social platforms to directly promote your vlog, build up a following and increase your subscribers.  The chapter on collaborations was also useful as this gave tips on how to quickly drive traffic to your vlog, giving examples of previous successful collaborations, links to vloggers offering online advice and a Q and A section.




In the later chapters the book gets to the crucial area of how to monetise your vlog and turn your popularity into income. This ranges from advice on blog sponsorship, advertorials and affiliates to creating your own brand, publishing books and working in partnership with successful businesses.

Overall not only does the book give useful advice for the newbie wanting to get started in vlogging but it also gives inside tips for the more experienced blogger who wants to develop their vlogging skills. You should be able to get through the book in a few hours but there are plenty of web links to check out and video links to watch. Recommended.

Get Rich Vlogging written by Zoe Griffin is available from Amazon and all good book shops price £7.99.

Today on my blog I have 4 copies of Get Rich Vlogging to giveaway. If you like competitions don't forget to check out my awesome Iphone Se competition too!

Good luck!
