82% of Internet Traffic Will Be Video by 2022: Should You Keep Blogging?
Hint: Yes, more than ever
Youtube is the 2nd most popular website in the world. Altogether, people use it to watch 1 billion hours of video everyday. To keep up with the insane demand, content creators upload more than 500 hours of content every minute. By 2023, there will be 3 times more connected devices than people on this planet. That’s even more screens to watch videos on.
Clearly, video is not going anywhere. People seem to prefer to watch than to read. Top Youtube earners are worldwide stars, and they rake in big money. The top 9 Youtube stars of 2019 made a combined $146 million.
Those numbers are mind-boggling, and also make the blogging industry look pretty dismal. If you’re a blogger reading this, you might be thinking to yourself: “I’m better off switching to Youtube if I want to make any sort of descent income online”.
Well as it turns out, not all is lost for you. If you want to know what survival chances you stand as a content creator who doesn’t make videos in 2020 and beyond, then keep on reading. You’ll probably be surprised.
