Where a vlogger can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a vlogger already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Vloggers make online videos to talk about a wide range of subjects such as politics, fashion, economics and sports. They can relate objective facts, but often they also give their opinion on the related topic. Vloggers post these videos online on social media or streaming platforms, often accompanied with written text. They also interact with their viewers via comments.

Also known as video podcaster, youtuber, travel vlogger, beauty vlogger, video weblogger, fashion vlogger, video blogger, web video columnist, on-line video columnist, lifestyle vlogger.
