One of the things that makes blogging popular is that you don’t have to show your face if you don’t want to. You can write about something you love and share it on the internet, but if you’re a bit camera-shy, that doesn’t matter.
As times change, so does the way we consume information. Videos are getting more and more popular and people will chose to view a video over reading a blog post. If you want to get your stuff out there, it’s time to think about creating video content.
Video Content Ideas That Don’t Show Your Face
There are loads of ways to make videos without showing your face. If you’ve got a message you want to get out there, then nothing should stop you from creating video content. Even if all you want to do is talk about a hobby, there are ways of making video content that doesn’t involve you being in front of a camera.
Screen Recording
If you’re big fan of creating tutorials, then no one needs to see you talking about it, a step-by-step walkthrough is much better. Whether you’re talking about editing videos, podcasts, or even music, you need to use a good screen recorder. Once you’ve got the footage you need, you can also record a voice-over and add it in. You’ll probably need to record computer audio as well as adding your voice over to the finished video.
These types of videos are really popular, I always choose them over reading about how to fix any tech issues I’m having with my site. Been shown how to do something while someone is explaining the method simplifies things no end.
A Handy View
Perhaps you have a hobby that needs your hands, like knitting or crochet. Maybe you love to cook. Or you might even be a bit of a magician when it comes to car repairs. Whatever it is that you want to share with the world, let your hands do the talking.
We’ve all seen those viral videos on Facebook where someone is cooking something delicious. They always show a view as if you’re the chef, and all you see is the hands doing the hard work and the glorious finished product. This method of filming isn’t exclusively for cooking, and can be used to show off anything that requires a bit of handy work. You can even narrate while you go, or speed up the slow bits and record a voiceover.
First Person View
If you’re an adrenaline junkie who loves extreme sports but hates to get in front of a camera, then shooting in first person might be for you. From rock climbing to riding a roller coaster, there’s a market for first person video content.
The fun thing about this type of video is that the viewer sees what you see, so they get to experience everything you do. You can either leave the video footage as is after editing, or add a voice over for a polished end result.
