The reason why some vloggers like AmazingPhil, Danisnotonfire, KickthePJ, and Catrific, among others, are so loved is because they focus more on human issues. Rather than going on about any strong subjects like oil prices or the American presidency, they discuss different topics like troubles in school, a nicer internet and being introverts etc. They discuss these topics to give their own opinion, and allow the viewers to relate and connect with them on a different level.

3.     Use the Right Music

Music for YouTube videos isn’t that difficult to find. YouTubers have to keep an eye on copyright laws. They cannot use music created by popular artists. Instead, they opt for royalty free background music from websites such as OurMusicBox to make the video look more interesting. The right tracks connected with the tone of the video can turn it into an instant hit. And since the vloggers don’t have to worry about any copyright infringement; they use the tracks for numerous others videos as well.

4.     Make Shorter Videos

If the subject of your video can be covered in 4 minutes, there is no reason to drag it on for 8 minutes. Longer videos can get boring and tedious. If the vlogger is talking about several interesting incidents, it may work; however, you have to use your own creativity to ensure that your viewers don’t lose interest.

5.     Don’t Go Overboard

There is no need to buy any expensive creative effects and cameras to make you video interesting. Simple and creative videos can be very entertaining as well, if you know how to present the subject. But if the subject itself is boring, no amount of expensive effects or latest equipment will be able to save it. Remember, if you can’t be interesting and concise in your videos, then you cannot succeed in this medium.

For anyone who wants to create interesting videos, using these tips will help them gain subscribers and followers very easily. And will allow them to open up creatively to make their videos even more appealing to watch.
