Vlog Like a Model


 When researching for the assignment of finding a vlog in my area of interest, motivational speaking and life coaching, that uses the video platform I chose, YouTube, I discovered a prolific vlogger in the field Valorie Burton. Mrs. Burton’s vlog, https://www.youtube.com/c/valorieburton/featured, puts on full display my reasons for choosing YouTube as a hosting platform. It is extremely easy to navigate, has easy subscriptions enrolment, and allows for easy embedding of singular videos to my home page. For an example see how Mrs. Burton used that feature on https://valorieburton.com/.

Outside of being a prolific vlogger Mrs. Burton also doesn’t shy away from uncomfortable topics that need to be addressed. She seems to have dedicated her life’s work to coaching people to improve their lives and mentoring others who endeavor to do the same. Although her focus is not exclusively focused on teens I am her method and presentation which confronts issues with thought provoking questions and challenges is definitely on brand for my strategy. The use of YouTube allows for her to produce large quantities of content and easily maintain that content and control its distribution. See an example of her encouragement to “Stop Beating Yourself Up” above.

Each of the sites I found, listed below, has their at least one strength that could prove useful to my brand. The Motivational Humorist Speaker blog has content that engages serious topics but defuses their consumer anxiety with humor and it has clearly visible Call To Actions, buttons, within the site structure that may prove useful in getting engagements booked. The Motivational Speaker blog uses a setup that links con...
