Which Makes More Money: Blogging or Vlogging

Currently, blogging and vlogging are two popular methods to make money online. Blogging requires you to write and publish articles and vlogging requires you to create and publish videos. Both require a different set of skills but you make money from a similar method, for example, advertising, affiliate marketing, sponsorship, selling merch, etc.

I have been blogging and vlogging for a while and I make money through these methods. I don’t make a lot of money but I think both of these methods allow you to make a lot of money, you can not only earn your living but can even become rich. If you don’t believe me check the income of celebrity bloggers and vloggers.  However, you need to become aware that you don’t become rich overnight, you need to work hard for a long time to be able to generate income.

In order to excel with blogging and vlogging, you need SEO and digital marketing skills. However, you also need specific skills. For example, if you blog, you need writing skills, and if you vlog, you need video-making skills.

You need to spend money on domain and hosting when you blog. However, when you want to vlog, you need to spend more money on equipment and video editing software.

Your earnings depend on a lot of factors such as video topic, traffic location, view duration, engagement on ads, etc. However, if you have 100k subscribers, you will be making about $10K -$15K per month.
