Why Vloggers Go for YouTube Challenges?

Some of the important reasons in this regard are as follows:

  • YouTube challenges are extremely easy to perform,
  • You would not need a storyline or a proper setup to perform these challenges.
  • They are a good way to kill boredom and to provide the audience with something entertaining,
  • YouTube challenges can be done at home easily,
  • You will need a short time to edit the specific challenge because it’s a onetime shot mostly.

Why Do You need to Perform YouTube Challenges as a Vlogger?

This is an important question asked by the community that why should they pay heed towards performing YouTube challenges in 2022.

Well, there are some reasons for that. You need to perform different challenges because:

You Can Run Out of Ideas Sometimes: It is possible that you can just run out of ideas to bring new and unique content every day. Thus performing a YouTube challenge becomes handy this way.

These Challenges Can Drive a Huge Traffic: Imagine doing a YouTube channel that is already trending on most of the social media websites. What’s the result? If by any chance your video becomes popular, you will be a celebrity in no time.

Easy to Create: YouTube challenges are extremely easy to create. They won’t require complex editing and you can just upload them even without editing them as well.

Level Doesn’t Matter: One of the interesting things in performing a YouTube challenge in 2022 is that it isn’t necessary that you must be a famous vlogger. I’ve seen many newbie vloggers performing different YouTube challenges and gaining popularity in no time. Shammi is one such example who has now more than 1 Million subscribers on YouTube.

How to Make a YouTube Challenge Video from Scratch?

So, in this small tutorial, I am going to show you how you can make a YouTube channel video from A-Z with a small investment.

I will be writing a tutorial based on the 100-Layer Challenge, so the main steps are as follows:

1. Vlogging Equipment

First of all, make sure that you have the following vlogging equipment:

2. What Will You Need

Apart from the vlogging equipment, you will need some other things such as a lot of shirts as we are already doing a 100-Layer challenge.

On the other hand, it is necessary to have a friend on your side so if things go badly he or she can help you.

3. Setting Up the Equipment

Set up the camera in such a way that you are standing in front of it. Make sure that the background is not that dirty so that the camera can focus on you only.

Keep the room filled with lighting. You can try out the lighting setup for this purpose as well.

4. Shooting for Video

Start the camera on the recording. Give a brief introduction of yourself, tell them what you are going to do, and ask them to subscribe to your channel.

After that start the challenge and wear all the shirts one by one. Take help from your friend when you can’t wear a shirt yourself. Be on the safe side while performing the challenge and give it up especially if you are starting to suffocate.

5. Edit Your Video

Edit the challenge vide you’ve made. Increasing speed is a good idea because no one is going to watch a long video. You can increase the speed of your video or cut out the boring moments to make it for at least 10 minutes.

6. Uploading

Uploading is easy as a beginner YouTuber can do it without any worries. Make sure that while uploading, you write a catchy title, cool description, and a unique thumbnail to attract as many people as possible.

7. Share Your Video Socially

Socialize your video. Share it on platforms like Facebook or Instagram as these are good platforms for making your video viral.

Conclusion

That would be all from my side. Do tell us more about the latest YouTube challenges in 2022 and we will update the post accordingly. As far as the YouTube challenges are concerned, I will strictly recommend you to perform them in a controlled environment. Enjoying safely is better than risking your health for a challenge.
