Blogging is still hot as ever. The problem is most Nigerians don't have the know-how and smartness to keep up with the dizzying pace at which niche blogging and SEO is moving. The few who do are still smiling to the bank.

Go to sites like Flippa, Empire Flippers, Motion Invest, and so on. You'd see tons of blogs on sale that are generating top dollars. Of course, they weren't built within just one day or few weeks. That takes us to the biggest problems Nigerians now have with blogging -- impatience, inconsistency, and unwillingness to move with quality content trends.

Do not be deceived. It is not about following your passion. It is about following what people want to see (your audience) and what brings money. Nobody gives a f about your passion.

Blogging

Youtube is also blogging but video blogging.

It is hard to grow a YouTube channel, you need to get about 1k sub and 4000 watch hours to start to monetize content.

But if you have a good camera, good audio and you can edit your video and good content, money for ads, you will get followers.

Most Youtubers with large followers have professional team behind them which makes their job easier.

Don't forget cpm is very low in Nigeria, so your content need to be targeting countries with high cpm to break even.

Also youtube takes around 55% of your revenue.

You also have US tax to pay, if your content is targeting US viewers

The upside is if you are consistent, you can make it but be ready to pay a price of complete dedication to content creation .

The downside is that, you might spend lot of money to create quality content and you won't get views.

Oga boss, can Facebook video be monetize also ply explain how face book video viewing work.

More respect Boss.

To do website blogging thingy you might need a bit of skill. Eg, writing skill, some level of tech knowledge whereas you can just tap on the record bottom and begin your journey to financial freedom on youtube!

Wait, there are even faceless niches if you don't want to show your face on YouTube!

I just love YouTube and I recently started my channel called 'Faith On Demand' and I have gathered a bunch of wisdom.

Drop me some questions about being a youtuber and I'll be back to answer them!

Much love,

To make it in YouTube, you really have to know your onions.

I'm talking about your audio, video quality, and content.

Post trash and you'll be watching your video alone

So, you'll need sound systems, a DSLR camera at least, a video editing skill ...

You might even need to hire two or three hands cause you can't do it alone most times.

Blogging, on the other hand isn't easy, but it's cheaper.

To break through, you really need to know how to write.

That's a skill you can't do without.

You'll also need to have some webmaster skills to be able to troubleshoot some issues.

There's a lot that goes into blogging.

The fact is, none is easy.

Consider both pros and cons, and choose your poison wisely.

Alas, your commitment is what determines if you succeed or not.

Peace.

I don't really agree with your point about YouTube tho.
To me doing well in YouTube is about your content and the consistency you pull out those content.
You don't need to have DSLR camera, ring lights, sound system etc.
You just need to have a good phone and your good to go.
I watch and subscribe to YouTube channels not because of their cinematography but because of the info in their videos.
If op have a nice niche he is good in, he can make it in YouTube.
The only downside side is that it takes 1000 subs and 4000hr watch time to get monetized.

Without a good and video quality, the viral potential of your content drastically reduce.

Whatever you're creating, there's someone who have done an even better job.

You need that view? You gotta up your game cause competition is real.

You might endure watching a blurry and shaky camera video with a squeaky sound,

A large majority don't.

You can combine both. But I rather start YouTube first because of what I already know about the content I want to share.

Which is better blogging or YouTube?. This is a very common question that many beginners looking for the smartest way of earning income online ask.

I have also had to ask such question back before I got started in the journey of online business.

Although, there are many make money online opportunities that abound in the online space. But starting a YouTube channel and starting a blog seemed to be the most dominant of them all. So I understand perfectly what it means when you ask which is better blogging or YouTube.

In this post, as one with experience in both YouTube and blogging, I will give you my unbiased answer to this seemingly disturbing question for newbies.

That’s not all, I will comprehensively share with you the advantages one has over the other and ultimately the top 5 things to consider before choosing which is better blogging or YouTube

Looks like something you want to see?

Let’s go

Before we dive in fully, let’s look at a brief overview of both.

YOUTUBE
YouTube is a video sharing platform that serves the purpose of both a social media platform and a search engine owned by Google.

How Does It Work?
You create a channel on it based on your knowledge, hobby or passion for free. You then create video contents and publish on your channel.

People can now watch your videos and subscribe to your channel to be getting notified whenever you drop new video contents as long as they find it interesting and valuable

You can make money on YouTube through multiple ways like joining the YouTube partner program, getting super chats and members. You can also make money through affiliate marketing and getting sponsored deals.

So running a YouTube channel is very simple and straightforward. This simplicity and the almost zero barrier to entry are two of the many reasons why it has exploded in popularity over the years.

Content creators of all ranges and niches find it so easy to share their contents with large audiences who are already hanging out on the platform.

And to make money offline or online, you must have an audience. This is one thing that YouTube prides itself on. So there is no limit to the kind of money you can make on the platform if you put in enough work into it

Don’t believe me? …Here are some interesting facts

YouTube has 2.3 billion users worldwide.
YouTube viewers watch over a billion hours of videos on the platform every day and generate billions of views. (YouTube, 2021)
Youtube is the second most popular search engine after Google
It is the second most popular social media platform after Facebook
YouTube generated $19.7 billion revenue in 2020. A whopping 30.4 percent increase year-on-year
With all the above mind blowing statistics, It’s safe to say that YouTube is one the best platforms for content creators to earn smart income online and live a financially free life.

At this very point You may quickly ask what is the need of knowing which is better blogging or YouTube when YouTube is this massive.

Hold on yet.

Let’s take a quick overview of blogging

BLOGGING
Blogging is one of the oldest and most popular ways of making money online.

A Blog simply means a website where discussions, informational and instructional posts are published frequently in a reverse chronological order.

Blogging elvoled from online diary and Justin Hall who is regarded as one of the earliest bloggers started his personal blog in 1994, that way way before the first YouTube video was published

Each month, approximately 409 million people view more than 20 billion pages.(Hosting Tribunal)
There are about 70 million posts being published each month by WordPress users alone(Hosting Tribunal)
77 million new blog comments are generated by readers each month (Hosting Tribunal)
There are more than 600 million blogs on the internet (Hosting Tribunal)
Over 2 million blog posts are published on a daily basis (Hosting Tribunal)
There are 31.7 million bloggers in the US alone (Statista)
The average base pay for a blogger is $52K per year (Glassdoor)
Food and personal finance blogs make around $9K per month on average (Rankiq )

With these stats, one is certain that blogging is another gold mine. It is also important I state that this stats on earnings are just mere averages as we have tons of bloggers making 6 figures on a monthly basis even in African

Apparently, these two online businesses make good money when done properly. So now, how do you decide which is better blogging or YouTube?

Skills needed to succeed in blogging

0. Niche & Keyword Research
1. Write quality, long, unique articles at regular intervals
2. WordPress and SEO(Very important)
3. Perseverance. (It won't be easy at first)

You can do everything right and you won't see result in the first year or two. But you will eventually succeed. Success according to me means transforming your website Into a HIGH AUTHORITY SITE by improving it's PAGERANK.

Google changes their algorithm alot to stay ahead of people who tries to play the system.

Bottom line is without good SEO, you will likely fail in blogging. More than 40% of Nairaland daily visitors comes from google

As for YouTube, you need to master the algorithms that make contents viral. You can follow MrBeast model. None of his videos have less than 50million views.

These are the core metrics you should pay attention to
1. Views/like ratio
2. Audience retention
3. Click through rate

(WhatsApp me and I will mentor you on both for free)

Now to answer your question, You should do both simultaneously. And you should start by doing more research on all the terms in Uppercase and Bold

Get my I.T bundle, I have Comprehensive courses on Blogging and YouTube. I wish I had access to this in 2015 when I started blogging.

Where's your mobile number?

Which is better between owning your house or living in a rented apartment? If you create a blog, you own your business but YouTube is a rented space that can be taken from you at any time. But because it is free to start YouTube channel, there is no harm using it as additional source of targeted traffic to your blog.

When you do it right, they will definitely approve your blog for AdSense. Google approves tons of AdSense applications on a daily basis.

In YouTube, your application could be rejected too
