Video blogging or ‘vlogging‘ requires a camera, an internet connection and a topic of discussion. For the UK’s top vloggers it has become a career where they can earn thousands of pounds for mentioning a product to their millions of fans. Many started out as students, were unemployed or, in one case, earned £25,000 a year in an office job. Lily Pebble, 25, spends her days tweeting, recording vlogs, writing blogs, researching beauty products, chatting with followers and negotiating contracts. Key to a vlogger’s success is the trust they build with their audience. That relationship makes them valuable to advertisers. It comes as the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) have released a warning telling vloggers they must make it clear when they are being paid to promote something.

Blogging and Vlogging are new experiences for me personally and I find it to be a form of expression of thought/idea. however, its not as simple as that because apparently its a form of business as well and I personally found it really interesting and would just like to share this with the rest of us out there.
