- Written by Lou Vachon
Make money on the Internet. You have to have a businessman spirit to get there, monetize your website with advertising or products. To work takes time, it is clear, then it is more cunning to have the spirit of an entrepreneur and to have in return something, compensation, money for example. It’s as simple as saying hello, but you have to persevere to get six figures in a year. This is the beginning which is long and which discourages many. Which leads to say: YouTube or Blog? Which is better in 2020? Well, I will answer that a little further down.
Youtube
What are the benefits of YouTube?
Everyone knows that creating a YouTube channel is free. And for an entrepreneur, this is really ideal. This is free traffic to promote products: your own products, ebook, online courses, or affiliate products. You can put your links in the description and receive a commission. And the more subscribers or visitors you have, the more you can be known and make money.
Even if you’re afraid of being in front of the camera, it’s worth the cost of overcoming your fear. But, if you don’t want to show your face, there are other ways to get your YouTube channel, like making video compilations that you’re not the author. However, you must put the credits of the authors in your description.
You have to know that to monetize your channel, you have to make videos of at least 10 minutes to be able to put one or two advertisements inside. You must have 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of viewing in the last year in addition.
If you watch it on YouTube, there are several that make millions. Influencers, entrepreneurs or normal people like the young Ryan Kaji, Dude Perfect, MrBeast, Logan Paul, David Dobrik, Vehicle Virgin etc. So it’s entirely possible for you to get there with a good strategy.
You, if you aspire to a better lifestyle. You want to learn. You want to make money. I advise you to create your YouTube channel…
The blog
How to start a blog for beginners?
First, you need to create a website. I recommend you do it with wordpress, more than wix. You will have more freedom. Then you have to host it. I recommend bluehost because it is not expensive and it gives you https for free. The S is for securing your website. And this is very important if you want to sell products on your website. Imagine, a person would like to buy product X from you, but the buyer does not feel safe because he thinks it is fraud, or he does not know you. He is going to look elsewhere to make his purchase. Amazon is known on the planet. But you are not at the moment. Hence the importance of S in https, and to make yourself known as a person, if you want to be able to sell products and gain notoriety. Imagine also, you decide to buy a nice car, but the seller seems a scammer or you don’t like his face, you are going to change the seller, right? I would do the same. People will choose you if you are friendly, if you are unique and have things to teach them. That is to say, you bring value to them. And that’s normal.
On YouTube, you make videos. On your blog, you can write content, make videos, or audios. In 2020, you have to be more strategic on a blog to succeed. Visitors’ emails must also be collected. You have to do everything in your power to succeed. Update your content. You have to publish its content everywhere on social networks, that there is a link, a rollover between each. Also, you have to think of monetizing your blog with Google Adsense or other alternatives that pay more later, some have admission conditions.
How do you know what people want?
How to know what to write or speak on video?
Well, there are smart people on the planet who design software, applications to facilitate our work. With this tool we can find the number of people searching for a certain phrase in the month. This is Keyword Related. It’s a tool to use! Of course, there are alternatives too.
Besides, don’t be shy about asking for help if you’re having trouble succeeding, or building your business.
So, you now know how to find the subjects of your posts. Thereafter, you must boost the number of visitors to your blog. You can use Pinterest, YouTube and Google. Regarding the latter, you have to learn SEO, Search Engine Optimization, and I recommend that one from Josh Earp to rank your website in the first pages of Google or other search engine. It is an important, if not essential, tool to learn for your success. Josh Earp is the best SEO expert. He is a marketing consultant to billionaires, television stars and celebrities.
SEO Mastery. In this program, Josh Earp teaches you everything you need to know from A to Z on search engine optimization, and how to rank your website or any other website in the search engines and become an SEO master. I highly recommend it so that you have the power to change your business!
On the other hand, I have two sites that I think you are going to enjoy by giving you motivation, showing you what these people have been able to accomplish with their blog. This is Michelle Schroeder-Gardner from Making Sense of Cents. She travels in an RV or boat and earns more than $100,000 a month, yes a month, by giving advice on how to save money. It’s smart because to have wealth you have to save money on things, pay off debts, and make more money than you spend.
The other website is DollarSprout run by two longtime friends Ben Huber and Jeff, and they make over $150,000 a month, and even more. It’s really unbelievable. Even for me, it’s a source of motivation to do like them. You can use imitation, but above all do not copy. Do not copy.
To conclude, YouTube versus Blogging in 2020, which is better to start with?
In my opinion, I recommend that you combine the two, share your content everywhere. It’s more cunning for an entrepreneur to show up everywhere to be successful. Put your products, resources or affiliate links to receive a commission where you can place them. It’s like when you invest your money in stock market or bank investments: you don’t put your eggs in one basket. So you diversify your portfolio. So you can grow your business.
I hope you enjoyed my advice, and find my information valuable. Do not hesitate if you have any questions.
