Video blogging is not for everyone. The main reason for that is many bloggers feel uncomfortable talking to a camera or providing a voiceover for a set of slides or screencast. I can appreciate that feeling of anxiety.
However, there is no denying that creating tutorial videos that offer great advice and offer solutions to everyday problems, and uploading them to YouTube, can do wonders for blog traffic. YouTube is the first place people go to if they are looking for a video tutorial on almost any subject under the sun. If you create the content that people find most useful and promote your blog in the video, you are sure to gain some readers (and perhaps even make some affiliate sales).
Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income has put together a very interesting blog post about his experience of creating and developing a YouTube channel for his blog. It seems the experiment has been very successful for him. In 276 days Pat created 15 videos. 60,000 viewings and 720 subscribers later, the channel is growing from strength to strength.
Not bad for just a few minutes work every few weeks.
