SHOULD I START A YOUTUBE CHANNEL OR BLOG?! The BEST Form of Content Marketing

SHOULD I START A KZbin CHANNEL OR BLOG?! The BEST Form of Content Marketing
Everyone knows it. Content is king. So we’re feeling the pressures of creating our own. But it can be confusing, and somewhat daunting, to decide which form of content to produce.
Starting a blog and/or a KZbin channel are the most popular forms of content these days, so my sister, Kori, and I decided to take a deep dive.
Kori is a pro blogger, master writer, and all-around amazingly inspirational woman. She is the queen of making you sound like a freakin SUPERSTAR on your resume and cover letter. Trust, you’ll be like “uuhhh is this me?” LOL.
Anyway, we share the pros and cons of videos and blogging and what the ULTIMATE content marketing strategy is.

I'm Erin and I'm a new full-time entrepreneur. I'm super excited to take you all along this crazy ride as I build my business from the ground up. Starting a business is much more than what influencers make it seem. It takes grit, hard work, and a lot of learning along the way. I'm taking you through the trenches and on the mountaintops with me, giving you a good look inside the life of a startup entrepreneur.

[@SlasherChick]

I’ve binged almost all of your videos because they are all so fun engaging and informative.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Slasher Chick Awww that means so much to me! Thank you 🙏🏽💛 xo E

[@lesluw2293]

Im a new subscriber as i have left corporate, became a stay at home mom and now my little ones are starting school. I now am atarting to focus on me and a business i want to start and came across your videos. Binge watching them and pls keep them coming.

[@lilianhaggland2031]

@@ErinOnDemand hi how do I get hold of your sister to help me with a name...for my youtube/blog....I a beginner

[@irsanonymous]

Kori is 1 or 2 years older. They look like twins. For a minute I thought Erin had two pictures of herself on the thumbnail.

[@Music_StoryOfMyLife]

Oh yay! You have a guest on this one. Hey Sis, thanks for joining us. Erin really shares some really awesome tips that also appeals to young women so beautifully, it truly is amazing. Keep up the good work ladies. Love you.

[@nitahudson343]

I really like the interaction between you two. Seems like you are totally different personalities and that brings a great chemistry to the presentation.

[@bisolaspice]

Your channel is literally Gold. It's extremely refreshing and straight to the point but still fun. Thanks girl

[@nicholerin]

I’m going to binge watch your whole channel, I love your content!!

[@QueensofBoxingTalk]

Love the channel, and love to see literal sisters holding each other up. Your parents must be super proud. I found myself smiling throughout the entire thing. As always great job. I learn so much just by watching.

[@siarajackson8081]

Erin girl, you’re bomb! I’ve actually been going back and forth about starting a KZbin channel and I’ve attempted to start a blog (a couple years ago) but didn’t keep it going. The tips/steps you and Kori gave I think will be super helpful.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Siara Jackson Thank you Siara! So glad they were helpful! Stay encouraged girl. Xo E

[@simple2atee42]

Kori is the oldest sista' - ya'll look great. I just recently stumbled upon your videos today....have been binged watching all day.

[@tashaloveslife]

I've been binge watching some of your videos today. In between my 9-5 and taking care of my children. I am SO nervous to start creating content for my KZbin channel, yet excited to start when I watch your videos.

[@INTERESTEDINFORMEDINSPIRED]

You two have the same eyes :) I love that this video is all about highlighting each other’s strengths. We all can’t be good at everything. Also it’s very inspiring to see how you seem to have applied whatever you learned in your time with National Geographic’s to this channel and I would assume, Black and Goal’d :) I really enjoy your videos!

[@ErinOnDemand]

Yayra H. Giving you all the sister energy! lol. Yes, def applying everything I’ve learned through all of my experiences. Thanks for always supporting love! Xo E

[@YusraELSawi]

I really enjoyed seeing both of you together and LOVED how you supported your sister :) Great video, thank you for all the insights.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Yousra ELSawi Aww thank you! Sister energy all day! Xo E

[@Itscrystal_g]

starting a youtube channel for all things DIY.. i love crafting planning and budgeting to its perfect! i just watched you videos on equipment and filming so IM READY !!! #LETSWORK

[@blaquesays4381]

Great encouragement 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I am analyzing on starting a vlog to showcase my passion for fashion, however like your sister I am an introvert learning to break out of my shell (I can be a bit shy when it comes to camera's 🤷🏽‍♀️)... I currently have a website and really big on one- on-one verbal communication when it comes to my personal clients but I do understand that we're in a time where technology is imperative. Thanks for the nuggets, it is certainly useful ✌🏽

[@jaletahammond9147]

For so long I’ve wanted to start both a blog and a KZbin channel to start building my brand. I have nice social media engagement and your video popped up on my home screen. Bless the both of you and thanks for the helpful tips! 👑✨

[@Ffiniflows]

So helpful and a clear boost for where I’ve been feeling unsure/nervous with starting vlogging/a channel. Thank you for providing relatable content 💗🤗

[@DeeBlaregold]

I've pretty much abandoned my blog. I had the thought of keeping it, but adding it on my author website...when I develop one. Your video just about convinced me to keep it. I like the fact that I'll own the Blog.

[@NakiaraPowell]

*NEW VIEWER & SUBSCRIBER ALERT* This video was so Helpful! Thank you ladies! I'll be doing BOTH!

[@AprilJoyelle]

I was focusing on my blog, but now I’m really into KZbin! I have been trying to figure out how to use BOTH. So thanks 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@ErinOnDemand]

April Joyelle Yes, both is really best! Xo E

[@elizeebz]

I am trying to do the same! A tip is pay or barter the video editing and/or proof reading/research for your blog

[@amandafagan2843]

THIS IS SO HELPFUL. You just helped me gain clarity on this very question that I've been racking my brain with for quite some time. I love both your insight & hearing what has worked for you. And when you said "do both" I knew that was my answer. 🙏

[@maliajones8090]

Imma do both! Thank you! I love seeing sisters

[@ask_drmo]

Such a DYNAMIC duo! Great job ladies! 👏🏾👏🏾

[@ErinOnDemand]

the cakesbythelb chick Thank you!! 💛 xo E

[@korihendricks823]

Omg another KORI 😍🔥 she is fantastic and so are you! I’m loving all your content. Y’all are an amazing resource!

[@Shannonsstories_]

This video came right on time. I'm actually taking a KZbin break to work on my editing skills but I'm still watching this just to support and in case I learn something new

[@ErinOnDemand]

Honey & Trust Thank you for watching! Sending you love and light during this learning period xo E

[@shantelane2553]

My blog will be focused on my business (early childhood education, progressive approaches to supporting children) and my vlog will be a bit more of my personal life and helping fellow entrepreneurs. Love the tips!

[@srplifecoaching]

Tell Ko I love the hair! This information is golden Ladies! Yall are so different, but so much alike!!!

[@lifesaverstv7280]

Am glued to all the videos on your channel...a charming personality. I'm starting a blog and a KZbin channel, I desperately need a brand name

[@KyanasTube]

Love this video! Thanks Erin & Kori! You might as well do both, I totally agree

[@ErinOnDemand]

KyanasTube Yes girl, exactly! Thanks for watching! Xo E

[@ABiscuitandTea]

I just found you and I'm binging on your videos girl! Love this one and the way you play off each other's strengths to give us the info.

I'm in absolute binge mode too! She's so good at this!

[@joannhoward790]

Wow! Thank you ladies! I am so trying to start starting...

[@nirubyjames4480]

Wow! The two of you are fantastic, plus your mom. Businesses owners can use the services that all of you have to offer. Including, myself. Thanks again for sharing business information.

[@manifestingbliss777]

I've just started a blog, my personality doesn't translate in writing so, I'm paying for ghost writers for now. Plus I can focus on other things. There's always something to do. I think I will start a KZbin blog once I start traveling the world again. Erin.. I am so grateful for you. Much love and success to you sis..

[@mariedesignz1659]

3 years older!!! New to the channel thanks for the info. Just started my KZbin channel. Been working on my blog for about a year.

[@ErinOnDemand]

That’s amazing Maria! She’s 4 years older 😉 xo E

[@Taleinmusic]

That’s sweet of you all to collaborate! I agree about both. There are transcribing products out there to help you get your video into a written format that you can tweak once you get it all written out. Programs like Grammarly to help make sure your grammar is correct 😀. Keep the great content coming Erin!

[@digitalmarketpreneur6712]

This is so true if you already have created a video, a blog post can be another way to have more content and have another way of ranking. You can reach out more people!!

[@Madilicious]

I started a Cooking Channel here on KZbin. Now seeing this video, I want to delve into both! Thanks for creating this content for us.

[@ErinOnDemand]

You def should!! xo E

[@Madilicious]

@@ErinOnDemand Thank you, Erin!

[@beautyandpositivity1343]

This was delightful. I don’t think Kori is much older than Erin - maybe 2-4 years, but you two could pass for twins. Thanks for sharing 🌻

[@mikeyllo]

This was super cool. Thanks for sharing your sister with us. I already have a blog, but I'm trying to learn the video platforms like KZbin, Instagram, TikTok, etc, so both of you are super helpful!

[@lunanorth]

Honestly one of the best videos Thankyou 🎨

[@Knowledgeovergrades]

So cute you and sissy in a vid talking about online content. Yes I do both blogging and KZbin as well. And I will certainly check out Kori's blog 👌🏾💯

[@frakie]

Hi Erin, I was searching great ways to save 20,000 in cash and I noticed your video and I really like your tips on how to start a channel. Because I'm 31 years old and I am looking forward to using Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University to tell my life story and progress to become Debt Free. You have given me some great ways to create and design my channel through your videos. Thanks and I will keep watching Peace and God Bless.

[@ErinOnDemand]

Franklin Slaughter thanks for commenting Franklin! That makes me so happy! Keep pushing toward those goals! Xo E

[@shirleyfrancois5298]

Thank you so much for this video. I am an introvert and need to work up to video, but my favorite is writing. Blogging is my first go to, my fear of the video is my vice.

[@alleiajames8229]

WOW! Thank you so much for posting this video. I really want to start a blog, but I was hesitant. I need to overcome this fear of failure.

[@febechiokparaeke4403]

Same here dear...

[@TheShines12]

Definitely helpful! My focus right now is sharing visual information so Im gonna start a vblog first & also do a blog that has more personal info/ life experience info.. That breakdown of different types of blogs/vblogs is super helpful! also knowing you did both.. I often get trapped in trying to decide. Thanks ladies..keep shining!

[@ErinOnDemand]

Anise Hines So glad it’s helpful Anise! Definitely don’t have to choose one or the other, just choose which one you are going to devote most of your energy! Xo E

You popped up in my video suggestions at the right moment, and I’m binge watching 😀. Your videos are so informative. Subscribing was a no-brained.

We are different and here in Vermilion, Louisiana they judge us, and it make us very uncomfortable, but you have given us a new take in doing KZbin, thanks

[@TheFlamesFamily]

Great information ladies. ❤️

[@sentosaco]

I'm an ambivert and I'm not sure whether to delve into a blog or a vlog. I'm more confident in writing than actual speech, but I have a BFA in graphic design which makes visual editing my best value. I would really appreciate your help!

[@sieratoney7082]

Is it wise to build more than one platform simultaneously (blog and KZbin together) or should I work successively and focus on one platform at a time and grow from there? The self-promotion is exhausting and I get overwhelmed determining what to do first.

[@racheludehjackson]

It’s wise to do a blog & a KZbin vlog simultaneously. This is in addition to producing talkable content on multiple social media platforms. However you need to make sure you actually enjoy it and that your online presence isn’t over saturated so you’re not overwhelmed when doors start opening.

[@lifewithtrenel]

I have a KZbin channel now that I started in 2014 but relaunched last September. I’m going to start a blog by the end of the summer (I hope). I’ve been playing around with the idea for a while even though people tell me I’m a great writer

I thought i wanted to start a youtube channel but filming and putting out quality content is way harder than i expected, not to mention im introverted and i dont think i have the personality for it. I also dont think im that good at speaking. However i am a really good writer, i just never thought about doing a blog because it seems like ppl dont really read much nowadays lol

I really want to start a KZbin channel but I’m training to be a teacher and we’ve been told that as a teacher you have to make your social media profiles private😔. I know that KZbin is such a public platform though so I’m unsure if I should start or not. Also there is that thing of your students watching you 😂. I started a blog last year which I forgot to post on because being a teacher is so time consuming 😩
