I have tried Lumen before.
It’s really nice.
Would like videos without their names though. Need paid versions.
This is great! I will definitely look into this — I actually use more videos for my craft blog, but I need to find ways to vlog with my muses of a mom blog.
Thank you for sharing a plethora of ways to start making videos. These are going to be real handy once I start getting serious about vlogging.
Very interesting blog – you make it seem so doable.
Good intro thanks!
This post is a good reminder that videos can be very powerful for bloggers. You’ve inspired me!
Funny. I started making videos without knowing what I was doing. Every day’s been a learning experience. Thanks for the times!

Saw the linky and thought this would be a good introduction to vlogging.

Lots of information on Video blogging and Vlogging today! This is a new term ‘Vlogging’ I came across today. Thank you for such informative and motivating writeup on this topic.
Glad to help.
Informative post on Video blogging Amrita. I have also written a post on Video Blog and its importance but nothing on how to make a video. Probably this post will serve that purpose.
I have been shirking away from creating videos for a long time. Always thought that its too much work. You make it sound like its quite doable. I am going to get Loom / Lumen 5 asap.
Perhaps the future of blogging lies in vlogging.
Thanks for sharing information about Lumen and Loom. Will be exploring them soon.
I have never been comfortable with videos but this is something i want to learn. Thank you for this post. It was a much needed one for me
Video Blogs are picking up a lot these days. But to many it seems a tedious task. I will check lumen 5 and loom.
