What is YouTube?
This is the most popular & largest platform for peoples video sharing & which is managed by Google itself. Any type of video can be uploaded here according to the rules of YouTube. Just as a blogger shares his thoughts and ideas on the blog and shares the articles on the blog, a YouTuber shares all the articles directly through videos.
You will be surprised to know that an average of 5 billion videos are viewed on YouTube every day and about 30 million people watch videos every day. Moreover, millions of new videos are uploaded on YouTube every day. You will be more surprised to know that YouTube uploads an average of 300 minutes of video every minute.
YouTube in terms of monetary income:
Nowadays YouTube is not only a medium for watching or sharing videos. A YouTuber can easily earn money by showing Google Adsense ads on videos by monetizing his videos.
Generally, when a video is played, different types of ads are shown depending on the content of the video and the quality of the content. In this case Google usually pays a YouTuber by calculating ad views and clicks (CPC, CTR, RPM). Simply put, the more views the video gets, the higher the income. I have many known Bangladeshi and Calcutta YouTubers who are earning Rs 2-3 lakh per month.
What are the ways of making money from YouTube?
Usually the main means of earning a YouTuber is Google Adsense. Apart from this, popular YouTube channels can earn money from some other sources. For example-
- Google Adsense.
- Affiliate Marketing.
- Sponsorship, etc.
Here are the basics of YouTube. Now I will discuss the basics about blogging first.
What is Blogging?
Blogging is an easy way to express one’s talent, knowledge and opinion like YouTube. The main difference between these two is that blogging involves publishing everything through writing blog articles. On the other hand, you can express your feelings through direct conversation on YouTube.
In general blogging, many people think that creating a blog is a very complicated task. But you can easily create your own blog in just 5 minutes if you want. There are many joys in having your own blog online.
Blogging for money income:
Blogging is one of the easiest, popular and one of the ways to earn money online. By writing articles on the blog, you can earn for a long time. A blog with 1000 visitors per day will be able to earn more money than a YouTube channel with 1 lakh visitors and 1 million subscribers.
What is the way of money income by blogging?
Google Adsense is the only way of income for most new bloggers. However, those who have minimum 1000 daily visitors on their blog can easily earn from Adsense as well as other means if they wish. For example-
- AdSense.
- Affiliate Marketing.
- Direct ads placement.
- Other ads networks like- Media.net and Infolinks.
- Sponsorship, etc.
So far we have discussed the income opportunities of YouTube and Blogging. Now we will discuss the similarities and differences between these two.
What are the Similarities Between Blogging and YouTube?
Here are the similarities between Blogging and YouTube in point form.
1. Original Content:
Whether you’re blogging or YouTube, sharing fresh, unique and original content is essential for success. You cannot succeed with any kind of fake or copyrighted content.
2. hard work:
You cannot profit from any platform without hard work. In this case, if you are blogging, you should regularly publish good quality articles on the blog. Similarly, if you work with YouTube, you need to create videos regularly. That is, no matter where you work, you must regularly sit down for work with a computer, laptop, mobile and camera. The more effort you put in, the faster you will succeed.
3. Abundant Studies:
Whether you work in Blogging or YouTube, you need to constantly explore different mediums including the Internet and study to discover new techniques to share new articles. Because just sharing nine-six content on the internet does not carry any mines. Your article will be popular only when you present a topic with more explanation, analysis and examples than others.
4. Wait for the result:
No matter what platform you work on, you need to be patient and work for a long time to get success. Blogging or YouTube will not make you successful in a short time. Visitors and search engines will definitely find your content and videos if you can share quality articles. For that you have to be patient and continue to work attentively.
5. Have to spend some money:
If you want to create YouTube videos normally, you can get the job done with mobile and normal headphones. Similarly, in the case of blogging, you can easily create your own blog with Google Blogspot. However, if you want to make a good quality video, you will need some materials, so in the case of professional blogging, you have to spend some money and collect the materials. For example-
Making YouTube videos requires a good quality camera, lights and a good mic. On the other hand, hosting and domain must be purchased for professional blogging. In this case, no matter you work with Blogging or YouTube, you have to spend some extra money.
What is the difference between Blogging and YouTube?
Blogging and YouTube have some similarities as well as some dissimilarities. We will now summarize the main differences between the two in point form.

- A blog can be freely designed according to one’s choice. Blog can be optimized using various plugins if needed.
- You own a Shelf Hosted blog yourself. You will have full control of the blog.
- Blogging can be used for various types of online advertising. Even a blogger can show the blog by taking ads from clients.
- Managing and maintaining a blog is a complex task.
YouTube:
YouTube does not charge any money for uploading videos. Because here there is no hassle like purchasing Domain and Hosting. YouTube provides unlimited free storage for uploading videos.
- No resource other than video can be uploaded to YouTube.
- No design can be done here (but design is not required).
- Since YouTube is hosted by Google, it is not possible to claim full ownership of it. Violation of YouTube rules may result in channel suspension at any time.

Blogging or YouTube in terms of income?
From the above discussion and analysis, you are clear that Blogging or YouTube, which one is perfect for you? Blogging can earn money online from various means. On the other hand, YouTube is the easiest and most popular way to earn money these days. So you cannot exclude either of these two. After all this discussion, you might be thinking that there is still confusion about the main content of the post.
Wait a little more, all your doubts will be cleared. So far I have discussed the epitaph of Blogging and YouTube only in the current context. So you can get a clear idea about the current status of Blogging and YouTube. Now we will discuss whether Blogging or YouTube will be perfect for you in the present scenario or considering the future.
Blogging or YouTube for you?
Should I start blogging in 2020 or start a YouTube channel? This is a very common question for people who are thinking about starting a new online business these days! Many people think that since all types of videos are available on YouTube, blogging without starting a YouTube channel is completely stupid. They think that people now search more on YouTube than on Google.
But you may not know that even in 2020, people still prefer Google when it comes to finding information. When it comes to finding information, people search Google several times more than YouTube. So let’s get one thing out of the way, YouTube has not become more popular than Google. Because YouTube is a part of Google. You clearly know that Google is at the top of the list of blogs online today. So in the future Google will give importance to blogging to maintain its popularity.
From the above discussion, it is clear to you that the popularity of blogging is not over yet and the popularity of blogging will not fade in the future. Earlier there was no YouTube so people only got their needs from blogs. Now YouTube also has various solutions available so the competitor of the blog has increased.
Whether you are blogging or YouTube these days, you have to face a lot of competition in both. Because just as there are lots of blogs in Google search, there are also lots of videos available on any subject in YouTube search. So to get success from both platforms you have to beat a lot of competitors and bring success.
After discussing so much I think you are left to understand that Blogging or YouTube will be perfect for you!! Still I would say that whichever of these two platforms you have the most experience in and the one you have the most interest in working on, you must continue working on that platform with focus and sincerity.
Blogging or YouTube, no matter where you work, when you can share better articles than others or can present better analysis and examples than others, then you can compete with others and place yourself on the popularity list. In this case, if you give time, opportunity, talent and effort to work together on both Blogging and YouTube platforms, you can bring success in a short time.
