This is more proof no one should underestimate the awesome power of blogging and video marketing with YouTube. A blog is more powerful than people think. Blogs are a valuable tool for the purpose of influence. With a blog, anyone's voice is just as loud and powerful as a United States politician.
Blogs are not always used for political reasons. they are of dual use for purposes ranging from having it as a hobby, blogging about your personal life events, a medium used to stay connected with friends and family on social networks, and making money from affiliate programs. Bloggers use their blogs as a means of making money online full-time from partnering with advertisers.
If you think blogging is not that influential, guess again. Why did HuffingtonPost.com take time to write a blog about a guy "skipping rocks in Alaska?" Because blogging is not only joy to the soul, but also, read by people on the Internet from anywhere in the world 24/7. That puts bloggers in a position to potentially make money from partnering with online advertisers around the clock, something Cory is potentially benefiting from with ads alongside his YouTube videos.
