‘Is blogging still relevant in the age of TikToks and Instagram?’

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/112801165654702659/

Yo how’s your day! Today, I want to discuss something that's slowly fading from attention—blogging. So, what exactly is blogging? According to Wiley (2019), blogs, or web logs, have rapidly become a valuable tool in foreign language classrooms, offering a platform for interactive, informal communication and bringing new insights to various subjects. In short, blogging is about sharing your thoughts or experiences through an online platform. Before this post, I had never blogged before, so it's an unfamiliar territory for me and a completely new experience. I grew up in the era of Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram, where blogging isn't something commonly discussed or seen around me. Although I don't read or write blogs, I'm aware of them and know they exist. It feels strange because blogging seems distant yet familiar at the same time—I know about it but haven't engaged with it. That's why I've decided to explore whether blogging is still relevant in the age of TikTok and Instagram.

First, let me say no, blogging isn’t dying! In fact, yes, blogging is still very much relevant in the age of TikTok and Instagram, though its role has adapted to these newer, quicker platforms. While TikTok and Instagram meet the demand for short, bite-sized content, blogging offers what these platforms can’t—depth, detail, and long-term discoverability. According to Bottle (2024), recent surveys reveal that over 60% of internet users read blogs, with 77% reading them daily—representing more than 4 billion readers. These numbers are surprisingly unexpected, especially for someone like me who isn’t familiar with this space.

Here are a few reasons I discovered that explain why blogging continues to be important :

1. Depth and In-Depth Engagement

TikTok and Instagram are great for quick hits of entertainment or information, but they often lack the space needed for in-depth analysis or complex explanations. Blogs, on the other hand, allow for long-form content where creators can thoroughly explore a topic, providing detailed insights or guidance that’s hard to deliver in a 60-second video. In contrast, when it comes to engagement, blogging provides more serious and in-depth content while also allowing for deeper interaction with other users.

2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Blog posts are indexed by search engines like Google, allowing them to be discovered through searches long after they've been published. In contrast, TikTok and Instagram have limited discoverability, and their content is often only relevant for a short period. Blogs enable creators to consistently attract organic traffic via search engines, making them valuable for both visibility and growth. Furthermore, well-structured blog posts with subheadings help readers quickly find the information they need, allowing for easy skimming (Bottle, 2024). Unlike TikTok and Instagram, which primarily cater to entertainment, blogging can be used for a wider range of purposes.

3. Establishing Expertise and Authority

Blogs are often used by experts or businesses to build credibility in their niche. While Instagram and TikTok might be perfect for branding and short-form engagement, blogs allow creators to showcase their knowledge, conduct deep research, and create well-structured arguments, making them seen as authoritative figures in their respective industries. Unlike TikTok and Instagram, which primarily cater to entertainment, blogging can be used for a wider range of purposes. A blogger's content can range from light hearted personal experiences to more in-depth academic discussions.

4. Long-Term Content Strategy

TikTok and Instagram posts typically have a shorter life span. Once the initial buzz fades, they can easily get lost in the endless scroll. Blog content, on the other hand, can remain relevant and evergreen for years, continually attracting readers and traffic through SEO and long-tail searches. According to Bottle(2024) You can easily revisit sections of a blog without needing to rewatch a video, and when it's part of a website with a strong strategy, it offers distinct advantages. Blogging and platforms like TikTok and Instagram serve different purposes. So, don’t get them mixed up together.

5. Monetization

https://rockcontent.com/blog/types-of-blogs/

Blogging allows for multiple revenue streams like affiliate marketing, ad placement, sponsored content, and even product sales. While TikTok and Instagram offer monetization opportunities through sponsorships and ads, blogs can create passive income over time with valuable, evergreen content. Blogging allows us to showcase our expertise, helping to build trust in our product or service with customers, while also being a useful tool for training new employees. Through blogging, we can highlight our professional knowledge and strengthen both our personal or business reputation.

6. Multi-Channel Strategies

However, I’m not denying the advantages of using TikTok and Instagram. As mentioned earlier, they serve different purposes, so don’t confuse them. Many successful creators incorporate blogging into a multi-channel strategy, using Instagram or TikTok for quick, engaging content and directing followers to their blogs for more in-depth information. This allows them to connect with different audiences across platforms. Instead of comparing blogging with Instagram or TikTok, why not embrace both types of platforms and benefit from each without resisting either?

Conclusion:

to get back and conclude the topic. Blogging is not obsolete; instead, it serves a different but complementary role to TikTok and Instagram. While those platforms offer immediacy and viral appeal, blogs provide a place for depth, discovery, and sustained authority-building. In today’s digital landscape, combining both short-form and long-form content can lead to a more well-rounded content strategy. Once you've found a section that interests you, it's easy to engage deeply with the content (Bottle 2024). I wish I could found a content to deeply engage, despite I’m not familiar with it. Let’s find out and learn more from stepping out from our comfort zone. Peace Out!
