How Different Is Blogging, and Vlogging?

Learn to drive traffic, or if you are sure that you created good content, make a partnership with someone that is good with traffic.

Traffic is the lifeblood of a website, or online presence.

You could always Vlog and Blog, there's no need to limit your audience to a single platform. Vlogging on YouTube is a great method for driving traffic to your blog on your website.

With vlogging, you have to pay careful attention to your social media distribution channels.

Also, you have to be very careful how you categorize and tag your videos

Pay attention to these two factors (assuming you are going to be producing videos that actually add value to people's lives) and you should be good to go.

Okay; I would very much like to work with someone interested in trafficking, an have a good many ideas, i would like to share. Partnering with someone along the marketing/product division sounds like a great idea for someone like me, starting out.

How to do that? How to search out a partnership? There a wiki, or article, for this?

As to blog/vlogging, I hear that just pasting the link to your vlog on your blog works well, as video is the single-highest favored factor in terms of SEO. Just leave a transcript of what you say in the video after the link, and you're good.

That seems like a non-synergistic approach, but appropriate for certain blogs, I would expect. As is, that approach just seems carbon-copy. A YouTube Video, though, with a link to your blog on related, or more-in-depth content, however, sounds about right.

Okay--vlogging, and social media distribution, channels. I've heard of one Youtuber, after having promoted his channel over Twitter, and gotten over a thousand subscribers, decided to start over, because most of the subscriptions were dead--i.e., no one used them.

I want to do this right, and also, because the only social media I use is Facebook, despite having a Twitter account. I'd like to try using it if I had a smartphone, but I don't yet.

On Facebook, I sent my social network a series of news articles on Syria, which no one replied on, so I guess that shows my lack of skill, or tone-deafness,

For blogging, at least, I know that there are only 150-300 topics available to blog about, and if your blog's not in one of the niches, then you'll never succeed, no matter how skilled you are, in everything else.

I don't know if I focused my blogs correctly, for starters, but that is something I'll have have to take account of, in the future. As for YouTube vlogging, well, I'm working on some very interesting--and entertaining--and controversial, which self-promotes, of itself--articles, but I'm unsure how to promote them. I think they can fit within a sustainable niche, but in developing it, I'm unsure.

Also, in the on-going course of learning video-editing, I made a Keyboard Cat video of SpongeBob, but don't know who, exactly, would be the proper constituency. Spongebob fans, I guess, but how to make them aware, exactly?

As to SEO-ing on YouTube, how to do it? Tagging, on YouTube, is basically the same as SEO-ing, yes? I did that carefully, on my SpongeBob-Keyboard Cat creation, which you can see for yourself on my YouTube channel, dubbed, "Noitartst."
As the specific piece, watch it here:
As to categorizing, what do you mean? How do you "categorize" your videos?

Not much different. You still have to drive targeted traffic to it and get subscribers to your blog. Make sure you promote your sign up form on every page, and for 1st time visitors, let them see a hover ad to spur new leads also. Do this proficiently and your income will slowly grow. Good luck.

If you keep producing quality content, eventually you will get noticed

I find that you can reach a larger audience vlogging but struggle to make any money from that audience.

When blogging on the other hand it is much, much harder to reach a large audience but is significantly easier to achieve sales, sign ups etc...

As you know, I've been getting a lot of my ideas, here:Boost Blog Traffic

They've said, for starting bloggers, to not focus on SEO, and instead on the blog influencers.

Okay, so I'm trying to do that, but A big part of my problem, is, I haven't really defined my niche that I'm aiming, for. I just came out, with another vlog, an attack on George Lucas, here:

This is a review, but it is also commentary. What exactly are the review channels, on YouTube? How do I define the niche for this, assuming there is one?

You know, now that I think about it, given that there aren't any blogs/vlogs that I regularly have followed, I'm kind of at a disadvantage, in making something, and expecting others, to follow me. As is, I graze on individual articles, and video clips, without really focusing on a core group of sources. Expecting to be one myself, however, I don't have much to go on, as a role model, do I? "News and & Politics" on Youtube seems to be dominated by tv clips, not Youtuber commentary, though celebrity gossip, however, is big. It's Philip DiFranco's bread and butter, but that, I'm not passionate on, though I find a bit of gossip savory.

I know that some blog topics just aren't blog-worthy, for any number of reasons. Well, I'm trying to find out what works for me, and my interests. Within my channel, Ihope others can apply insight.
