What do you think? Does blogging on the Hive blockchain make owning your own blog redundant? Or do you think they can compliment each other?
I for one often direct any hive.blog readers to a related or fuller blog post on one of my Wordpress blogs, and I also blog about Hive on my DavidHurley.net blog. My Wordpress blogs pull in an audience most of whom have never heard of the Hive blockchain, as does my YouTube channel.
Today I made this YouTube video about the nine reasons why I think affiliate marketers should blog (preferably using Wordpress as their Content Management System). I stuck with nine reasons, but it could probably be expanded to 11 reasons if you separate reasons "six" and "eight" into two separate categories.
Well anyway, here is the video - I had a blast making it, so I hope you enjoy it!

A blog can generate organic traffic through search engines, reaching a wider audience without relying solely on paid advertising.
Regularly publishing high-quality content on a blog can improve your blog’s search engine optimization, increasing its rankings and visibility, improving your authority.
A blog allows marketers to create and share valuable, informative content that can attract and retain a loyal audience, leading to increased conversions and sales.
A blog provides a platform to build a community, engage with the audience, and foster a sense of belonging among followers.
Marketers can diversify their income streams through various monetization methods such as affiliate marketing, sponsored content, and Google and other ad networks. They can also use their blogs as storefronts for their own ebooks, podcasts, video, training courses and webinars.
A blog is an excellent tool for marketers to establish and cultivate their personal brand, helping them stand out from competitors and attract more opportunities in their industry.
Owning a blog with a personalized domain name email address allows you to use an autoresponder to build a mailing list and communicate directly with your audience, leading to increased customer engagement and sales opportunities.
Blog posts can attract a flow of traffic months and years after being published, providing long-term value and exposure
As I emphasized in the video, a lot of affiliate marketers are overlooking the eighth reason to - at the very least - own your own domain name.
