Why You Need to Create YouTube Channel for Your Blog?

Blogging is a multi-platform activity. You will not only need to publish contents and wait for search engines to give you visitors, but you should also promote them through the other platforms such as social media, bookmarking sites, etc.

YouTube itself is well-known as the 2nd largest search engine. And I do believe that it is still the top video search engine in the world.

Why I tell you that?

Traffic!

How is it possible for your YouTube channel to increase your blog traffics?

The more people are using YouTube, the bigger chance you can gain more visitors for your blog as well. Got it?

It is a crowd place where you can meet anyone from around the world. And it is surely make sense to find visitors at the crowd spot than the loneliness ones. So, you have bigger chance to build your blog through YouTube.

And, there are also other reasons why you will need to do that.

1. YouTube can also be a site to get backlinks for your blog

If you are confusing how to get quality backlinks for your blog, just think about social media and YouTube first. There will be the best place to start if you have no idea at all.

In YouTube itself, you can put your blog URLs on two places.

First, you can make use the bio section in your profile account and second, utilize the description of every video you are going to upload on your YouTube channel.

2. In my experience, getting the visitors for a YouTube video is easier than a blog post

YouTube surely competitive. There have been so many videos uploaded by its users. But, to get the first 100 viewers for a video is so much easier than the same amount of visitors blog post. I dunno why is this happening.

It can be many users are interesting to watch video than to read. I am not sure. But that's what my experience is telling me.

3. Pretty much easier to beat the competition

If you are a blogger who are writing and publishing contents, then you will be helped with that skills. If a video will be included with 200-500 words of description and relevant tags, getting more visitors will be more easier and your video can even be on the first page of YouTube search faster than get ranked on Google.

Don't forget to mention your blog or post URL in the video description while you are writing.

4. Your YouTube channel can also be a great support for your online income

I know that you may are in love with blogging. But when it comes to make money online, surely that you should try different platforms to know which one will be the best place to make money.

While your blog can still showing ads from Google Adsense or other ads networks, the world has also been knowing that YouTube can helps you earn money, too.

5. Creating video for YouTube channel can be a good distraction when you are in a writer block stage

Writing is fun when you finds it easy. But, it is also stressful just to do researches and write the idea. And some of us may have been experiencing writer block every single month.

If you will still need to build your blog, then just try to create video for your YouTube channel and utilizing it as a way to develop your the blog itself as I have been mentioned above.
