Why Vlog when we can Blog?
“The scariest moment is always just before you start.”
—Stephen King- Blog is short for 'weblog,' which means logging into the web. People use blogs to share personal thoughts and experiences with a small audience. A vlog is a video blog or video log where you share information, facts, stories, and opinions through video instead of written texts.
- The most obvious difference between them, of course, is the format.
- The visual format of vlogs lets us showcase our thoughts, personalities, expressions, and voices, making the content more dynamic. Writing a blog and watching a vlog is the same as reading a book and watching a movie. Many prefer the latter as it doesn't require the extra labor of imagining. In a world where even 60 seconds is too long, people prefer mini vlogs over full-length vlogs and forget about reading blogs.
- Though vlogs are more dynamic, provides a personal connection, visually appeals to the audiences, and are social media friendly.
- Vlogging is time-consuming, creating quality vlogs can take a lot of time and energy and requires a lot of upfront investment in a good camera, lighting, and editing software. They often run into technical issues.
- Many people may feel uncomfortable sharing their personal lives with a broad audience and often face criticism, bullying, and harassment.
- One of the most persistent challenges Vloggers face is to come up with evergreen, engaging ideas.
- Blogging on the other hand, though has its own pros and cons, it has more pros than cons.
- It improves personal development like creativity, writing skills, and critical thinking. It builds confidence, self-expression, and a personal brand.
- We don't require any expensive gadgets to get started. We can also start with a Galaxy M11. Nobody has to be self-aware of oneself. Research has shown that bloggers have better mental health than vloggers, as they are less prone to online bullying and harassment.
- One can freely express their thoughts and views whilst keeping their privacy intact.
- Both platforms provide a wide range of scope for self-expression we should just choose which works the best for us.
