Blogging in 2026: Is It Still Worth It? Blog vs. Substack + How to Make Money

Is blogging dead in 2026? After blogging since 2008, I'm sharing why I still believe in having your own website—and whether you should choose a blog, Substack, or both. And after almost two decades of blogging, one thing has become very clear to me: platforms change, but your website can remain your home base. In this video, I'm sharing why I continue to blog in 2026, whether I think you should start a blog or Substack, how I think about niching down, how I've made money from my blog, and what my blogging strategy looks like going forward.
