Is Blogging Dead? Should You Start A Blog in 2024?

Did Google kill blogging? With Google's "Helpful Content Update" and other algorithm updates, should you start a blog, today? Here are 5 things you must consider before starting a blog in 2024.

Google's Core Update that has been rolling out through March 2024 (as explained in this video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=gawQ8s8pR8s&t=0s has caused a lot of pain and questions from bloggers, niche site owners, and affiliates...

The big question is: Is blogging dead?

And... Should you start a new blog in 2024?

Some folks are saying blogging is gone and it's time to move on to YouTube or social media traffic.

Now, I've been teaching folks how to blog here on YouTube for nearly a decade here, and the core How To Blog training is still relevant - www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRPBDCoTaGM&list=PL0sOKzn__yK2yKtTKx0SS78Q9GLpnZ0l-&index=1&t=0s

But man folks are scared that blogging is dead.

Yet, others are doubling down on their blogs in hopes of a traffic recovery from the Google algorithm update.

But, is there a middle ground for bloggers?

Can you still use a blog to help you make money online without being all in on Google?

Can you rise above the Google algorithm and SEO traffic schemes and still succeed? Do you need to buy SEO backlinks if you want to make it online?

This video reveals the 5 ways that bloggers are still able to use their blogs to grow their businesses online without depending on traffic from Google.

Remember...

No matter what happens in the world of SEO and Google Algorithm updates, you still need a place to publish your ideas, your tutorials, your reviews, your recommendations and your affiliate links!

A YouTube channel is NOT enough for a long term successful online business, either.

But again, thinking you can do ONLY YouTube and ignore the rest of the marketing channels (like having a blog, too) is EXTREMELY RISKY!

Because, if you went 'all in' on YouTube or Social, you're putting yourself in the same situation as those who were all in on Google SEO traffic and just got slapped.
