The online world has become much more than just a medium of entertainment. Today, most of the people make a living through the internet, and the most popular ways of earning money online are by either blogging or vlogging.
Blogging has been a thing ever since the internet became popular and not to mention, a lot of people made a ton of money blogging. However, with the rising popularity of websites like YouTube, which marks around 200 million views a day, perhaps the world is shifting towards the trend of vlogging.
This made us wonder what a better way of earning money today is: blogging or vlogging. In order to answer the perennial question blogging vs. vlogging, we have put together this article that will perhaps give you some amount of closure on what is the best way for you to earn money online. Take a look:
Let’s begin by understanding the difference between the two genres. Blogging is communicating with the audience by the means of written word. The author puts down his experiences and tells his story using a compelling writing style.
Vlogging too is communicating and telling a story, but only in a different format, which is video. Vloggers take up the camera and tell stories to their viewers. The easiest way to become a vlogger is to set up a YouTube account.

Apart from the definite monetary incentives, blogging allows you to talk to a number of people by means of your word. If you feel that you can strike a chord with your readers using the written word, then blogging is definitely for you. More importantly, there is not a lot of investment you have to make before you start your blogging career. All you need is a laptop with an internet connection. There are some of the most popular bloggers who make millions through vlogging and blogging.

If you are someone who loves to talk and feel, you can communicate and connect with the audience by putting together a video, then vlogging is your forte. As discussed above, it is easy to set up an account for you to post your vlogs. Moreover, you don’t have to be a professional writer to be a vlogger. All you need is good communication skills. However, remember that you might have to invest in a good quality camera and other editing tools before you start blogging.

In my opinion, Vloggers earn more than the Bloggers. This happens because the bloggers write content and I believe that people like more of visual stuff as compared to the written stuff. Besides, it is fascinating and trending as well. I have seen many Vlogs and they are more effective when we share it to the audience. They can be made on the go, and also you can express your feelings in a better way. Vloggers post their videos on the YouTube and it is the best way to earn as well. So, I think Vloggers definitely earn more.
