Think about where you spend some of your free time at. Do you "really" go to stumble and look through those bookmarks, do you go to twitter and look around?

Where are "you" at on the internet? And where you are at, your targeted audience might be in the same places.

I use video blogging because there is such a wide range of videos on youtube. You can find just about anything you want. Whether its about hunting, hiking, camping or digital photography, its on youtube - and people watch.

For my targeted audience, I decided to go the video blogging route and it has paid off big time for me. If someone sees my videos on youtube, and then goes to my forum, they are 65X more likely to create an account then people that found my forum through google search results.

As for my blog, I take the videos I post on youtube and embed them into my site.

As a partial result of my video blogging, my forum has grown 10X faster then my competitors. The blog does ok on traffic, but the videos are linked to my forum and are water marked with the forum name. When I post a video watermarked with my blogs address, and a link to my blog in the video description, my blogs traffic goes up.

If you want an example of a news blog on youtube, go look up Travis and John. If Travis and John can be powerful players on youtube, anyone can. You just have to find your "groove".
