How I Learned to 'Vlog Like a Boss'

Amy Schmittauer is giving a class on vlogging on my computer screen. You can see my Star Wars cup and Dwight bobble head; that's how you know I mean business.

 I started vlogging last month, and I even wrote a blog post about what I learned from vlogging on my own, but the biggest lesson I learned about vlogging on my own is how little I actually knew about vlogging.

 So when I found “Vlog Like a Boss,” I was excited to learn how a professional YouTuber makes her videos, so that I can try and do the same.

 You can read about how I found the class here.

 Here’s an outline of the things I learned about in Amy Schmittauer’s class, “Vlog Like a Boss” on CreativeLive:
I took a screen cap straight from the CreativeLive website while I was viewing the Vlog Like a Boss class videos.

  • Tips on how to get comfortable in front of a camera.

  • Presents gear that professional YouTubers use, and how to get the best quality video from the gear that you already have.
    • She brings in Vincenzo Landino (CEO of Aftermarq) and Blake Guidry (Cinematographer at Aftermarq) to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing different kinds of equipment to film/record a vlog.

  • How to use social media to market and get traffic to your YouTube channel.
    • With an emphasis on using YouTube, YouTube Live Feed, Instagram Stories, and Facebook Live to connect to viewers in different ways.

  • Basic, and a little bit of advanced, video editing.
    • These were some of my favorite lessons because she actually sits down and shows you her technique for editing her own videos.

Mom Confessions: Things You Said You'd Never Do as a Parent, But You Did

Image
Do you remember a time before you became a mom? A time when you’d see moms giving their children a tablet to watch cartoons while having lunch? Or changing their babies’ diapers right in the booth where they were eating? And you thought, “I will never do that when I have a kid.” But then, you find yourself with a shrieking human being in your arms that depends on you for everything, and you find yourself slowly letting go of all those expectations and doing all of those same things you said you’d never do. Well, it turns out that you’re not alone. I asked other moms this question: What is something you said you’d never do as a parent, but ended up doing? I started off the #momconfessions, “I said I’d never put a leash on my child. I bought one when she turned two.” Below are the #momconfessions that some honest, kickass Instagram moms shared: Le t Me Count the Ways “Gosh. Haha... What a great question! Where do I start? Bed sharing, breastfeeding past one year, ...

Review of the Dot to Dot Connections Making Tracks Connections Box

Image
I got in contact with Dot to Dot Connections because their Instagram feed is full of activities to do with children that seem fun and educational, and they sent me their “Making Tracks Connections Box.” WHAT’S IN THE BOX? This is what you see when you first open the box. I had no idea that I would be getting so many activities in one box! The envelope that says "Thank you!" contains the activity instruction cards and a book. All of the activities are clearly explained on small cardstock sheets and all of the items needed for each activity are neatly packaged and labeled inside the box. Look at how beautifully organized this box is!  There are nine different activities, but this box could easily last you two to three weeks if you spread out the activities. We did three activities every week, so this box lasted us about three weeks. MY REVIEW OF THE ACTIVITIES You can read the rest of this post at  ellanewriter.com.
