Vlogging the new Blogging

So we all know what a huge phenonmenon blogging has been. Bloggers are practically celebrities (well in the fashion world!) Sitting on the front row of fashion shows, having articles written about them and being a major part of PR for brands. Well recently I came across a far more modern version of blogging that I believe is going to be even bigger and better than blogging, especially when used in conjuction with it. Its called Vlogging.

Now many of my favourite bloggers such as WishWishWish and Gem Fatale have used videos in conjunction with their blogs for tutorials and a different take on a post. But the job of a vlogger is to use only video and gain a community via sites such as YouTube and Vimeo. At first I did find it slightly cringey to watch, especially because many of the Vloggers aren’t trained on proper video etiquette, but it quickly became addictive and rather interesting! Vlogging can be about anything, but a lot of the Vloggers are comedians, but it's great to see fashion vlogging starting to make it big.

Just like blogging brands are now contacting vloggers to do sponsored videos about their brand. This can sometimes be even better than blogging posts as it's more than just pictures and vloggers can show people how to properly use the product, making it more likely that they will buy it.
So check it out! Vlogging! Below is a video of one of the Voggers I liked the best.
