I will be traveling for 6 months an was hoping you all could give me some interesting/niche ideas for a video vlog. No activities or destinations are off limits. Money is not an issue in that I can afford to travel and stay anywhere.
Reason for doing this is I make good money but, absolutely hate my job. So, I am looking for a way to make money off of youtube videos. If successful I will travel longer but, I have 6 months available before I make the decision to return to my job or not.
You need a theme or niche. General travel has been done to death. How many people watch VLOGs?
By niche Iām talking something with a die hard cult following. You could visist record stores in 50 countries looking for rare records (off the top of my head). Thereās enough meat in a subject like that to never run out of material.
If I was going to do something of contemporary interest it would be touring micro-breweries and getting the cool back story on how that particular one came about.
People like to get that inside skinny. Grow a beard, wear some flannel, maybe carry a sword. Use words like robust and hearty, and make your way from place to place on a steampunk recumbent bike (for the camera).
Start in wrestling practice with some club team of US, mid-west kids. Then wrestling practice at Penn State. From there, go to Senegal, Mongolia, Japan and try out their special wrestling styles.
I watch one show, āHamiltonās Pharmacopiaā where this skinny chemist dude travels around taking drugs. Itās pretty cool.
Hate to be the one to break this to you, but itās been done to death, even on TV - Human Weapon and Fight Quest shows come to mind. Both shows were cancelled due to abysmally low ratings.
