What’s a vlog? It’s a video blog. Why do people vlog? For several reasons ranging from home tours, humorous videos (even if not meant to be funny), to blogging via video because some consumers are too lazy to read (what? It’s true!). Seriously though, with the advent of simple to use cameras, vlogging is becoming increasingly popular and more highly demanded in the real estate industry.
