If you’re looking for a reason to embark on the adventure of a lifetime while sharing your experiences with a massive group of followers then this topic is for you.
If I’d known about video blogging during my semester abroad to the UK in 2003 I would have captured the experience to share with the world.
HD camcorders are less expensive than video game consoles.
You can edit video using a single software program.
YouTube viewers make all stars of homemade video producers every day.
Idea: Buy a Camcorder, a Netbook, and a Plane Ticket
Google made the founders of YouTube billionaires because they saw the value in homemade video before anyone else.
The Travel Channel offers 24-7 programming since the global community is increasingly interested in learning about far away places.
You can put together your global media service together for less than $1,000.
Here, I’ll prove it:
Pick up a cheap netbook to upload videos ($349.99).
Buy an HD camcorder ($430).
Bring along a portable hard drive to store those movies ($112.95).
Shoot a Video, Edit Quickly, and Upload to YouTube
Once you’re done filming the Cliffs of Moher or Pyramids in Cairo, and made the videos your own with unique commentary, upload the videos to your YouTube Channel.
Save the video to your portable hard drive to save space on the netbook and just keep shooting. About any topic you want that people want to learn about.
Since you’ve chosen to carry a netbook you can utilize free wi-fi to learn about Google Trends that could apply to your location.
Run with it.
