Hybrid Blogging and How it Promotes Your Business
Hybrid Blogging is the focus of our Sonic Marketing Boost here at Virteom!
What is a Hybrid Blog?
Everyone knows what a blog is. It’s basically an article on a specific topic, maybe a picture or two thrown in for reference. But there is nothing really capitating about a traditional blog anymore. These days, we consume most of our information through video, whether it’s on the tv or the internet.
A hybrid blog is a combination of a short video and an article which recaptures the information from that video.
Why Hybrid Blogs?
Hybrid blogs are a revolutionary way to share information with your customers without the hassle of writing your own content. Not only do you get the ease of sharing what your business is about and what makes it unique, but these hybrid blogs can make your website rank higher on SEO platforms such as Google!
In addition, hybrid blogs are overall just more consumer friendly! Content that is accompanied by a video is much more digestible for viewers and more captivating. A two-minute video is going to keep your viewers on your site for at least those two minutes and then they’ll take a look at what is posted below the video as well! The longer someone is on your site, the better you rank on SEO!
Other Benefits of Hybrid Blogs:
- Videos are better for mobile viewers. When someone is on their phone, they won’t want to read a 500-word blog, instead, they’ll opt to view the video
- Time-saving. You spend one hour every other month to record these videos and you’ll have a post a week, driving people to your website!

Own Your Own Content
In case you were not aware the next big buzz phrase is 'Original Content'. In fact some have come forward and claimed this to be a bigger moment than SEO. So what does it all really mean to you? Let's take a closer look at what is meant by owning your own content. Most of this movement stems from Google. Google is basically dinging websites if it finds duplicate content on the web. So if you are just borrowing someone else's content and placing it on your website you may not be doing yourself any favors. Try and place your content within a domain that YOU own and with hyperlinks that YOU control. Are you the Owner? Why did I underline and stress YOU? There is this trend or should I say movement where persons and organizations are utilizing third party blogging services to store their original content. In some cases persons or organizations are spending hundreds and even thousands a month to store this newly created
