More ways to generate $$ from vlogging: Vlogging can help you get you paid more in your day job----if you vlog about stuff you become more of a recognized expert about that stuff if you do decent work. This can help you get a better paying gig, or get better paid at your current gig.
Vlogging can help you get a new job-----for example, I'm managing a program where we're teaching kids to vlog. Wouldn't have happened if I wasn't vlogging. Vlogging is a tremendous social networking tool. Social networking is important for getting work. Use vlogging to promote your own business----e.g. if you're a rock musician, promote your gigs, if you're a ceramicist, show footage of yourself working in the studio. --- In [email protected], Ted Tagami <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > A valid exercise.
