Thanks, Israel. With the exception of the actual video part. The steps to success are very similar to blogging. It is good to know we already possess the skills, we just need to turn them to video.....not easy for some who are camera shy.

That's true, Alex! Some people are really camera shy and wouldn't consider it feasible to try vlogging, whereas, it isn't compulsory to create self-made videos to start a channel. Thanks for leaving a valuable thought!

Thank you very much, a time will come when writing articles will no longer sell and all we will be selling is videos and podcast.

And it is here already

Hey Parameter, vlogging is proven to have taken over text-based blogging as it calls for creating video content that the vast majority of users cherish and would help your blog dominate the search engine results pages starting from 2020. Thanks for leaving a thought!
