Here is a simple trick you can use today to make your videos look cleaner and more professional, without buying anything. Use the Two Clip Rule When you film a location or a niche moment, record two clips instead of one. One wide shot, one close up. Why it works It makes your edits look smoother. It gives you options. It also makes even simple moments feel more intentional. Viewers stay watching longer because the visuals change. Try it today Next time you film a café, a street shot, or even the night sky, grab a wide clip, then a close up. Put them together and you will see the difference straight away. Simple, fast, and it lifts your content in seconds.

Oh dear. I hit rock bottom this weekend. I went to a party with a chest infection, sprained my ankle, and realised that my life was a total mess! Spent much of the night crying on the bed feeling sorry for myself. There's only one thing a sad, scruffy girl can do in this condition: have a glow up. Monday started with the gym. I've thrown out all my crappy makeup and underwear. Plucked my eyebrows. Started journalling again. And most importantly, bought a kick ass new camera so I can fire up my Manchester Youtube channel and share every step of my glow up with you. She's the DJI Pocket Osmo 3 - perfect for cinematic travel vlogs. Follow along as I transform my space, my style, and my content, from scruffy and stuck to confident and creating. Are you due a glow up? Let's work through this together.

Here are a few easy glow up steps. I've got to look decent on my new mega HD camera, and it starts right here. 1. Hydrate & Nourish Start your day with a big glass of water and something nourishing for your body. Feeling good inside shows up outside. 2. Quick Grooming Win Pluck your eyebrows, moisturise, brush hair, or do a mini skincare routine. Small rituals instantly lift your vibe. 3. Refresh Your Space Tidy a corner of your room, wash bedding, or clear a drawer. Clean surroundings make you feel polished and in control. 4. Move Your Body A short workout, brisk walk, or gentle stretches gets your energy flowing and boosts confidence. 5. Micro Upgrade Add one small upgrade to your look or routine—new underwear, a bold lipstick, or even just switching to your nicest gym gear. Little wins stack fast. Let's glow up together

One of the main perks of my vlogging job is free tech to review. I've specialised in the space and astronomy niche, and I've been sent that many free telescopes that my mum's garage is overflowing with them. My latest freebie is a top of the range robotic telescope. If you want free hotel stays, VIP perks, gadgets and goodies, becoming a niche vlogger is a great way to go about it. What's the best free thing you've ever received?

She's even wearing my mum's jumper. Gotta get into that method acting. Cool Mum is here to show you how you can make 'pure bank' selling videos in a niche. In my case, my niche is space, telescopes and astronomy. Cool Mum is a character in my latest video commision. I see great things ahead for her, I'll have to work on her character development.
