If you are active in cyberspace, you probably hear terms like blogger. Many of us do not know the true meaning of blogging. For example, many people consider anyone active on Instagram and display their daily life as a blogger. This thinking is not wrong, but the primary meaning of a blogger is something else. In this article, we will first explain what a blogger is and introduce you to other cyberspace activists, such as Viners, Vloggers, and Influencers, and their differences. Finally, by asking a few questions, we will guide you in checking whether you can become a blogger.
What is a blogger?
In the past, blogs were widespread, and the author could share whatever he had in mind on his blog. A blog is an online magazine or website where you can publish your content. Contrary to popular belief, a blogger is someone who has created a blog and publishes his content. This content may have text, photos, videos, or other formats. In Iran, bloggers are mostly considered bloggers, and if you ask most people what a blogger’s job is, they will probably mention Instagram bloggers.
Now, you may have a question: what is an Insta blogger? In recent years, people who share their lifestyle and related things on Instagram are considered a type of blogger. Sadaf Beauty, Nawab Ebrahimi, and Negin Abedzadeh are famous Iranian bloggers who work in different fields. The income of Iranian bloggers is not precisely known and depends on various factors, such as the advertisements they make.
What is a vlogger?
You have probably seen various product review videos, trainings, and videos about people’s daily lives on different platforms. All these videos are considered vlogs or video blogs; the person who produces them is called a vlogger. The most famous venues for publishing vlogs are YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, which allow vloggers to communicate directly with their followers. Usually, the audience shares more with video content, and vlogs affect the audience more than text content. Two examples of the most famous Iranian vloggers are Sadaf Beauty (on YouTube) and Mehdi Shajari.
What is Weiner?
Many people spend hours watching funny videos on Instagram, and maybe you are one of them. These videos show most everyday events through jokes and attract many audiences. Those who make these humorous videos are called Weiner. Where does the term “Weiner” come from? Vine (Vine) was a virtual network under the supervision of Twitter, where the audience posted funny 6-second videos. Over time, those who produced funny videos on virtual networks became known as Weiner.
Although the virtual network Weiner has been closed for years, the term is still used. Hassan Rivandi, Serena Amini, and Mohammad Amin Karampour are among the most famous Iranian winners. Hassan Rivandi, who was known as a stand-up comedian and presenter before his activity on Instagram, is now known as the most famous Iranian Weiner.
What is an influencer?
Any blogger or vlogger can be an influencer. An influencer is a professional in his field of work and can influence the opinion of his audience. Influencers have a deeper connection with their audience, and their audience accepts their argument. For example, Sadaf Beauty, who we mentioned earlier, works in the field of makeup and beauty and is considered an influencer. By introducing products in this field, he can influence the opinion of his followers and encourage them to buy said products.
How to become a blogger?
Before taking any action, you should ask yourself some questions. By answering these questions, you will know how it works, and you can start your activity as a blogger. Here are the questions that will bring you one step closer to becoming a blogger:
- Do you have the ability to produce content? You cannot effectively publish your talent and activity on Instagram if you answer no.
- Can you get in front of the camera? Many people don’t go to Blogger or Weinershed because they can’t get in front of the camera.
- What is your field of activity? Nowadays, bloggers work in any field, but it is better to go for an area with a larger audience.
- If you plan to become a Weiner, do you have a good sense of humor? We have already explained who Weiner is and what he does. Every winery should be able to make the audience laugh and change their mood. Otherwise, it will not be trendy.
- Have you budgeted for blogging? Sometimes, you have to advertise your page to be more known, which is expensive.
The difference between blogger and vlogger, influencer and weiner
The difference between bloggers and vloggers is only in their content type. Bloggers go for text content, photos, or even videos, but vloggers only produce video content. Bloggers can use any platform, such as personal blogs, WordPress, Instagram, YouTube, and other virtual networks, but vloggers must go for video-based platforms such as YouTube.
We said before that any blogger can be an influencer. The difference between a blogger and an influencer is more in how they work and their goals. Bloggers usually publish catchy content that may also be a product review and aim to share their interests more. On the other hand, influencers do this review to encourage the audience to buy and increase their followers.
Probably, now that you are familiar with the concept of Blogger and Weiner, you can guess the difference between them. The difference between Weiner and Blogger is in the type and topic of their content. Bloggers mostly use a combination of text and photos, but the range of Viners is usually video. Weiners also focus on producing humorous content that makes the audience laugh.
