Blog vs. YouTube Channel


Three most important social media networks are YouTube, Instagram and Tick Tock right now with it, it seems blog websites are becoming not necessary.

When starting a blog I wanted it to be a place of everything I love just at one place and things happening daily of importance to everyone as reminders of time flying by so easy.


Owning both a blog/website and a YouTube channel can be exhausting if you do not have proper equipment and video editing knowledge each Vlogger has.

As mentioned before three most popular networks right now are video editing networks: YouTube, Instagram Stories/Reels, and Tick Tock. While you can add video screen of your YouTube video inside each post. It is intended for people loving to see and hear the person whose video they are watching to learn something or to entertain themselves as these are the two most most important reasons people use these three networks.

For me one can not go without the other as like everyone has their Blog - Instagram connections today YouTube videos - Instagram Stories are basically fully connected which is not the fact I love as much as I love Instagram stories only as links to either a new blog post or YouTube channel video unless it's a beautiful photo of your new post as well.

Having it all can cause huge lack of self organization making stressful situation being behind schedule either with your blog post, YouTube video or both.

It's why I decided :

• to put a short video at the end of each post here at Blogger talking instead of viewers just reading the post,

• add Instagram stories links to both each new blog post and to Instagram post with photos I took being the same as at the blog,

• use my blog post as a guiding line for a script for each YouTube video as I don't want it to differ from one another,

• take more of my own photography instead of using Pixabay, both layers photos and my hometown or places I visit,

• take more photos of myself starting with the Workout Schedule I keep delaying and at some Kragujevac sightseeing spots.

Therefore connecting Instagram posts/stories - blog post - YouTube video post at the same time.

I can get easily confused when in such a commotion as why I am writing down on how is best to connect your networks and maintain your personal time.

I wanted to become eligible for Adsense, that is commercials you can see on almost each website meaning with click on a commercials I can get a certain percentage of the commercial marketing team of some company payed to Google owning Blogger to broadcast.

With YouTube it's different almost collecting your fan base or other bloggers/vloggers at one place through Subscribe button you see below each video with 👍 ~ loved the video and 👎 ~ hated the video for you to be able to grow your audience as people saying what to change in your comments or giving you new ideas. This is a bit different than the blog where viewers can only leave a comment.

Once you collect your fan base over 1.000 people with at least 4.000 hours of watched material you become eligible at YouTube Adds meaning getting an add in front each of your videos and as with Adsense getting a percentage of the entirely watched commercial before your own video or a click on it.

What blog post - video would you love to see here at my small web space?


Advices on having a YouTube channel:

• have a decent and recognizable intro with a possible logo,

• plan a decent thumbnail of the video,

• Ask people to subscribe at the beginning not the end of each video,

• our videos should not be lenger than about 10 minutes unless you leave in information time starting points for different topics,

• ask for comments at the beginning of each video,

• reply to each comment,

• plan your YouTube video title as with blog title using popular keyword search,

• if using English language in your videos plan a translation and opposite if you use your native language plan an English language translation of each video.

  1. Thanks for sharing your experience and advice about making the most of our social media/blogging, etc. I haven't ventured into YouTube yet as I have no idea what I'm doing -- maybe that's something for the new year?!

    1. Why not unless working from the beginning with some brand no one is expecting your first videos to be perfect.
