Vlogging as a Full Time Career !! Pros & Cons.
Vlogging is already quite popular internationally & now it is gaining popularity in India as well since past two years. Now first of all what is vlogging? In simple words, video bloging is called vlogging. There are different types of vlogers like Motovlogers, travelvlogers, lifestylewlogers, fashionvlogers etc. Personally, I have not done vloging on my channel yet but I find it quite interesting & entertaining as a viewer’s point of view so I am planning to start my vlog series soon. But is there any advantage & disadvantage of vloging let’s find it out.
ADVANTAGES:
- There are many popular bloggers who still not using videos in their blogs so if you incorporate videos in your blogs it will help you to stand out from all the others because uniqueness always attracts readers & viewers.
- There are some people who don’t like reading much they rather prefer watching videos but using videos in your blogs you can easily attract both the category of people which will increase your blog’s popularity.
- When readers read your blogs they always have the curiosity to see the face behind those amazing articles when they interact with you through your videos they start building more trust on you. Vlogging also makes these interactions more personal & friendly & blogging is all about building a relationship between blogger & reader.
- There are many things which become more impactful when shown in videos often, for an example travel vlogging lifestyle vlogging & fashion vlogging leaves more impact than some written text description because readers & viewers can feel that moment by themselves vice versa some important information required written text like, for some school & college projects so if you combine both videos & blogs it will catch more traffic to your website.
- As Google bought YouTube, videos have also been a key part of search engines so your videos can also be incorporated with SEO by including subtitles, description & attractive titles.
DISADVANTAGES:
- Vlogging means videos & making video requires equipment, for making videos you need a travel-friendly camera then you need a good editing software then you need a good computer or a laptop which can support these softwares & can be able to upload videos & for all this you need to spend some money on the other hand blogging does not require all of these it only requires a website & a genuine information with a good writing skill.
- For blogging you need to be presentable with your work else you will look unprofessional to your viewers & for shooting videos you also need to be concerned about the timing like when the lighting is appropriate for shooting your videos but there is no as such problem with blogging you can write your article whenever you feel like or you are comfortable.
- Incorporating videos into the blog can be little technical because different blogging platforms may have different ways to upload videos so if you are not a techno-friendly person it will be difficult for you to incorporate videos into your blogs.
- It is possible that on some sites, videos can take longer to load because they require more bandwidth & if it takes too long to load a video, this can irritate your visitors & they can leave your site before going through it.
Despite all of these advantages & disadvantages, I can see vlogging is growing day by day in India as well. There are some popular Indian vloggers like Mumbaikar Nihil, Actorvarunpruthi, Rishawali, jusvlog, Aditi Mittal, Gauravzone, Babasvlog & all of them are doing great in their vlogging career.
MY WORDS ON IT:
As India is getting friendlier with YouTube I can confidentially say that vloging has a very bright future in India also.
