Starting a vlog for your business can be a great way to connect with new customers and build your brand.
However, if you are not careful, you can easily waste a lot of time and money with a vlog that does not perform.
Interestingly, most vlogs fail because many business owners cannot think of interesting topics to talk about.
Successful vlogs have a good mix of different topics about their brand, products & services, and the people behind the scenes.
If you are looking for inspiration on what to talk about, you can create exciting videos by answering questions from my Q&A list for business owners.
This part of the series discusses "About Me" and "Get to Know Me" questions.
Answering these questions allows potential customers to develop trust and build a personal relationship with the business owner behind the brand.
Best About Me Q&A Questions for Vlogging
What are some good Q&A questions to use in your daily business vlog that allow your audience to get to know you better personally?
Generally speaking, it is best to focus on revealing fun and interesting details about yourself that everyone can relate to without revealing too much personal information.
All questions that fail the sanity check should be avoided. It's probably best to avoid any question that gets at least one yes:
- Would you be in trouble if any of your answers got leaked on national TV?
- Would people be offended based on your opinion?
- Would competitors be able to steal your secret sauce?
- Would a stalker be able to track you down based on the information you shared in your vlog?
- If a hacker listened to your answers, could they guess one of the security questions to hack your online account?
- This list is by no means complete. You hopefully get the idea.
The following list of hand-curated Q&A questions gives you a good idea of where to start your vlogging journey for your business.
