vloggers have is that
once they start building
an audience, they
formulate a community
of like-minded people.

an interest in similar
topics and likes similar
things come together
and support the
vlogger. This
community of like-
minded people creates
an amazing
atmosphere.

connect with people
from all over the
world. The videos
created by the creator
reach the audience all
over the world and
that’s how it helps
people connect with
each other. It also
helps in gaining
exposure and makes
the creators stand out
in the community.

Everything
More Human

easier for the creators
or entrepreneurs to

vlogging is that it creates
revenue for the creator.
Revenue is also one of the
reasons that vlogging has
become a job for a lot of
people. Revenue comes in
different forms, through
affiliate marketing, through
sponsorships, and through
advertisements.

Difference

people to make a
difference. People share
their opinions on a lot of
different things, and as a
result of that, they make
a difference in the world.
It also helps people in
sharing the
discrimination that
happened to them or
someone else which in
turn helps them get
justice.
