Since my last interview with New Zealand vlogger (video blogger) Rosalea, she has not only gained a new name – Rho – but has also gained more than 500 Facebook followers.
Starting last year with four minute videos about Tinder troubles, and annoying customers, Rho has since narrowed her video topics down to smaller, everyday issues.
The most recent being an 11 second skit about how ‘Girls Can Never Decide Where To Eat‘, where she sports a drawn-on beard.
“People have short attention spans,” Rho said in response to her change in video production. “…especially randoms who don’t know who I am and don’t give a damn about my sh*t.”
After a fellow vlogger with a large following re-posted one of Rho‘s videos, it made her realise that she needed to keep her content “relatable and funny”.
And so came, ‘Me After Two Shots‘.
“I think I need to make more alcohol-related videos because that one about shots got heaps of views really fast,” she chuckled. “Or food! People like food.”
As Rho‘s style and character develops into shorter and more exaggerated clips, she hopes to compete with other vloggers, to attract advertisers and make an income.
“I’m going to just keep making videos and hopefully get more exposure. I think once I get a massive following on Facebook – if that even happens – I want to move to YouTube and do longer videos on there.”
Despite hopes of making her work lucrative, Rho admits she has chosen a competitive market, and says she really has “no idea what I’m doing”.
“[But] it’s as exciting as it is terrifying!”
Follow Rho on Facebook for her most recent videos, including ‘How 99% of Job Interviews Go‘ and ‘My Problem With Girls’ Clothing‘.
