Welcome to another video.

Okay there's no doubt that vlogging in public
can be extremely intimidating.
Because you have all these things going on in your head
like oh well what if this person thinks
I'm an idiot because I'm vlogging?
What if this person thinks that I'm saying something stupid?
What if people start gathering around
while I'm making a video and they start looking at me?
Then what's gonna happen?
And let's be honest, some people are gonna think that
and if you're wanting to vlog out in public
and you just can't overcome that right now
I'm actually gonna tell you some little hacks
that you can do to make
the whole process easier on yourself.
The very first thing is to record videos in clips
because if you record your videos in clips
kinda like I'm doing throughout this
you don't have to stay there for a long period of time
and have people looking at you for the entire time.
So you can just record it, hit it, get it, go.
Doing it that way can also help you organize clips
when you're putting your projects together
especially if you're doing like travel vlogs
or just day to day life vlogs
and you're not giving tips like I am.
It can really make a difference
in being able to keep everything organized
so that it makes your work easier.
And another thing that really helps me
when it comes to doing this kind of stuff in public
and it might help you as well
is think of the people that are watching the video
more than you're thinking of the people that are around you.
Here's what I mean.
Of course you want to be respectful
to the people in your real world environment.
However, one thing that you can focus on
that has been a huge help for me
is think of what people are getting
from watching your videos,
think of the viewers that are watching your videos.
If you're doing any type of content
where you might need to be outside to do it,
there's a really good chance you're adding
some type of cool or unique value.
For example, I'm sharing tips for YouTube.
If you're doing travel vlogs, you're showing people
your experiences in places they might not ever see.
If you're doing normal vlogs where you're
just around your home town or whatever,
in that case you're also showing people insight
into your life that they might be able to gain
some type of inspiration from or
that they might be able to get an additional thing
that is of value to them.
Whereas the people that are around you,
if you weren't vlogging you would just be walking past them
without any communication whatsoever.
And real quick, visually this is like a
really cool looking intersection so I just want
to show it to you really quick.
So you can check it out, we've got like
some of the stuff going down the hill,
we've got like a handful of roads kinda merging here.
Well it looks pretty cool, check it out.
The next thing to remember is that, really nobody cares.
I mean I'm sure you don't have any problems taking selfies
when you're out with buddies or anything like that.
Like really nobody cares, it's normal these days
for everybody to be making videos,
everybody to be taking photos wherever they're at.
As a matter of fact, there's people
over here right now taking photos.
And of course practice, if you're not practicing
well guess what you're not gonna get better.
So if this is something that you want to do,
well of course the more that you practice at it,
the better that you're gonna get at it,
the more comfortable that you're gonna get at it,
and the better you're actually going to be at it
if you just practice it and you practice getting out there
and getting over that fear.
Another thing that you can do
if you are intimidated by vlogging in public
is you can also get off the beaten path a little bit
so that you're still outside,
you're still out in the world so to speak.
But while you're out in the world,
you're a little bit off the beaten path
like you can see right now.
Like I've got a bunch of people over here,
but like behind me there's not many people
and most of the people over here,
they're just focused on eating in a restaurant.
And they don't really care what I'm doing
if they even notice me at all.
Kind of like where I'm at right now for example.
And that kinda brings me to the next thing is
most people they don't care, like it's usually us
that has the biggest problem with all of this.
When we're going around we're like
oh what are people gonna think about me?
But people are out doing their own thing.
If they're outside, they're trying to enjoy
whatever it is that they're doing outside.
They're not really caring about all of the people
that are doing stuff around them
unless it's actually bothering them in some way.
But in most cases as long as
you're not getting people on camera
nobody's really going to care.
The next thing that you can do is
if you are worried about vlogging in public
and you have a fear about vlogging in public,
get fired up, get excited about what it is that you're doing
and just that excitement can really help you focus
on what it is that you're doing
and kinda make everything else that's around you going on
make all of that stuff kinda fade away.
Now I've put together a whole playlist of additional videos
that will help you overcome camera shyness.
You can watch that here right now.
