Tomorrow is September the first, not to be confused with my families pseudo-holiday the oh so important October The First. The only thing exciting about September the first is that August will be over and so will VEDA. VEDA stands for Vlog Everyday August. I challenged myself to do just that. Boy was it a challenge and boy am I glad it’s over.
Here’s how I did.
Videos Posted: 17
Videos I would have posted if not participating in VEDA: 4
New Youtubers I’m Following: 2 (The Mrs Tee and Diary Of A Divorced CocoaMommy)
New Subscribers: 21 (way more than I thought)
What I learned: It is hard to come up with daily content. I need to remember to go to places like Mamakat’s Losing It for writing and Vlog prompts. I also learned how to edit my videos better and more quickly.
Would I do it again: Watch my last VEDA recaping my experience to find out.

mail4rosey says
Awesome for you! I don't have trouble coming up w/daily content, but recent changes make it hard for me to find time to do it.
Crystal says
Good for you! It can be tough coming up with something every day. I try to write a bunch on days when I feel inspired.
Sippy Cup Mom says
I love a challenge like this because it really helps you stay motivated! Will have to watch!!!
Ann B says
I have never tried making videos for my blog. You have done so well. I will have to give it a try.
Six Time Mommy TEST says
Awesome! Way to go. I can never commit to any of these type of things because I fail within a few days. This is so great you actually did great! – Jeanine
Boulder Locavore says
Wow that's a huge accomplishment! I was going to do the blogging version a few years ago but at the last minute didn't feeling I really couldn't consistently come up with engaging content daily. Great job!
debdenny says
That ia a big challenge, I think you did great.
Felicia Carter says
You are awesome for sticking to this! What a great way to come up with new content.
Christie C says
I applaud your vlog expertise. I just can't seem to vlog everyday!
Lori Gunn says
Just one vlog would be a challenge. Congratulations on new subscribers and posting so many vlogs for August. You are an inspiration.
Pam says
I can't believe that VEDA is already over. August seemed to fly.
Marcie W. says
I think a challenge like this is just what I need to become more involved in vlogging and get more comfortable in front of the camera. Congratulations on your accomplishments this month!
Izzy Grey says
Way to go! I couldn't manage to vlog everyday for a month!
Cat says
You did a great job. It sounds like it would be hard to do a Vlog every day. Catherine S
Valerie says
Good for you for doing as much as you did! It certainly is more without it being a VEDA month. It is definitely hard to find things to chat about every day.
Liz Mays says
Wow, great job! I would have the hardest time thinking of things to talk about. Video editing seems to complicated too!
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
I think it's so awesome that you were able to do that. I HATE being on camera. Blech.
Kristi says
Wow… kudos to you for such a goal. 17? Wow? I would struggle with just one… as I don't love to be in front of the camera lol
Lindsey Paris says
Wow! That's a huge step up from just 4 videos. I need to beef up some of my content, too. Getting "camera ready" is sometimes more than I can handle with a newborn!
Masshole Mommy says
That is awesome. You ended up doing it for more than half of the month, so you should be really proud.
D7ana says
Applause! 17 videos in one month? Cool.
Congrats on the new subscribers, too. I have to set goals. Your results are inspiring!
