Maybe I'll just do one YouTube clip to explain why I won't be doing any more! That would be so popular people will demand you make a series.

You might make a lot of money, which is the main reason Youtube vlogs are popular. I'm not sure, I watched some narrowboat vloggers being pretty frank about what they earn and I'd guess they're sitting on the 'poverty line'. They were newer ones, and maybe after a while it becomes more sustainable, but there are already plenty of seasoned vloggers to compete with (some with actual TV experience). I think it's a pretty bad way to make money, and for me it would ruin the experience of boating if I always had to have a camera on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idle Days Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 As far as I know no one is forced to read Blogs or view Vlogs, or indeed make them. I guess a degree of self-control is in required if one wishes to avoid them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also remember that the blog is not really about boating, its about You and your desire to be a minor celebrity ?. ............Dave And hose piping camera work is a must, with wind blowing down the mike.

Remember there is no such thing as a leaky lock, just ‘the most dangerous’ and possibly ‘my life was at risk’ ........ can you write my vlog descriptions for me?

magpie patrick Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 History is important in these blogs - if you mention canal history or local history it is important you get it wrong. I recommend extensive research to make sure you don't accidentally get it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
