Blogs and podcasts and social media, oh my! With so many marketing channels to choose from, many brands have a difficult time deciding which avenue to pursue. Blogs and podcast, specifically, are taking the public by storm, but there are perks and disadvantages to each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Podcasts are gaining substantial traction<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within the last few years, the podcast domain has attracted millions of listeners. People in the industry attribute this upward trajectory to the connections that podcasts facilitate.

With that said, if you\u2019re looking for a marketing tool that shows tremendous promise, consider starting a podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In essence, podcasts offer unmatched convenience, which is why many opt for this outlet when attempting to breathe entertainment into tedious tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Podcasts can be time-consuming<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Making a podcast isn\u2019t as simple as pressing record and talking. Instead, it requires a production team, post-production editing, and significant amounts of brainstorming. These numerous moving parts deter many from starting a podcast, so be mindful of the time and effort you\u2019ll have to put in to produce a successful podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Podcasts involve tricky technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t consider yourself tech-savvy, the podcast world may prove daunting. The equipment required can be rather involved, and you\u2019ll have to spring for even more bells and whistles if you want to guarantee optimal quality. With that in mind, you can anticipate having to learn the ins and outs of podcast tech before moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blog Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
1. Blogs have to be engaging<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s one thing to attract an audience, but with blogs, you have to ensure that they\u2019ll stay. Unfortunately, appealing to readers within the first few seconds is no easy task, and it\u2019s even more challenging to grab their attention blog post after blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Blogs are highly competitive<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seemingly everyone is involved in the blogosphere. With so much competition to face, it can appear impossible to stand out. It\u2019s for this reason why brands are forced to offer something that the market is missing if they wish to eclipse their competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
