Why Vlogging for Seniors is a Winning Concept

Pros and cons of blogging or vlogging for Seniors

Vlogging for seniors is something new on the agenda for grown-up adults. A few years ago, we didn’t even know the word vlogging.

So, what is a vlog? In a nutshell, it’s blog content you share on a video. Vlogs are not fading out blogs but are perfect complements of each other. The first known blog post was published in 1994 by then-student Justin Hall. From there, the blogging business has grown into an industry worth more than U.S. $ 400 billion.

The first known vlog was published on the 2nd of January 2000, six years after the first blog. Before going into why vlogging for seniors is something that all upper-age followers of my blog should keep an eye on, let’s see the difference between a blog and a vlog.
