It’s easy to set up a blog and you don’t need to have any specific technical knowledge for it. The
activation of blogging platforms is free of charge. It doesn’t require too much equipment. A desktop or a
laptop and an Internet connection will be enough. Blogging is like an online log where you can post your
ideas, experience, and information, and give advice. They provide companies a giant platform for strong
communication with potential consumers. It’s possible to make a living if you can write well and express
yourself clearly by using words.

In Vlogging, you can follow the same process of sharing information, but it is mostly in a video format.
If you have the necessary equipment, it is not so difficult to set up a good vlog. Because they can easily
record, edit and publish the content of the videos on the net, many vloggers create YouTube accounts. A
vlogger needn’t have professional writing skills, because vlogging is mostly about sharing conversational
experience with the audience. If the topic or point of discussion is interesting, vloggers and their vlogs
can become both really successful and popular. The Vlogbrothers, Hank and John Green are the kings of
vlogging and their YouTube channel has more than three million subscribers.
