Blogging:

Here are some most important aspects of blogging.

Web Hosting and Domain Name:

                                                    Before Writing content, you have to publish your blog. For this, you need to buy a domain name and hosting server to publish your blog.

This process takes almost from 2 hours to 8 hours if you want to write extraordinary content. In a blog, you just have to write and publish content regularly.

Monetization:

                    People often ask about the income of a blog. How much you can earn from a blog. The answer to this question is that it depends on your niche and how often you publish your content. If you are writing on a high CPC(cost per click) niche, then you can earn more or equal to your full-time salary of a month.

Vlogging:

Vlogging is all about making videos and publishing. Let's talk about its main aspects.

  1. Setting up background and tools
  2. Making Videos
  3. Monetization

Setting up background and tools:

                                                    If you want to do Vlogging, then you need a camera and an excellent looking background for your videos. Nowadays, most people are using their smartphone's camera to make their videos. In Vlogging, you don't need to buy any hosting and domain name; you just have to create your free youtube channel.

Making Videos:

                                   After you have created your youtube channel and have all the necessary tools to make a video, it's time to produce high-quality videos. Like blogging, you can teach others or sell affiliated products.

Monetization:

                    In Vlogging, earning money is a bit difficult because of YouTube Algorithms. When you create your YouTube channel, you have reached monetization criteria, which 4000 hours of watch videos and 1000 Subscribers. When this is done, your channel will be reviewed; after this, you can earn. But, before this, you can make affiliate marketing videos. 

A Vlog's income is always less than the payment of a Blog because YouTube takes 45% of your ad revenue, and in Blogging, you get all your income earned from ads.
