Learning how to start a blog in Nigeria is an easy thing to do with no technical knowledge needed, but first of all, what is Blogging and how is it different from vlogging?
A blog simply means an online journal or diary where stories, opinions, and other things are shared for people to read, and Over the years, Blogging has grown from a personal hobby into a career.
Now, what is a Vlog? well, this is simply a video blog. A blog is based on texts while a Vlog is strictly video, like YouTubers who are now called vloggers. I hope you get the point.
They share day to day activities of what they do and so on, you probably must have encountered a Vlogger who Vlogs about hair, food, phones tricks, gaming, cars and so on.

You don’t necessarily need a webpage to Vlog, but as for Blog, yeah, you definitely do.
Know that some professional websites for businesses have a blog on their website where they keep their customers and client well informed about new products, new deals, information on events or conferences that might hold.
But that above is not what you want right? You don’t have a customer nor run a business, you just want to share stories and other things you love reading about, and then make money from it.
