Reasons To Switch From Cable To Streaming

Reviews · April 27, 2017

In the past few years there has been a gradual shift from cable TV to online streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu. These services has made it possible to watch engaging shows on demand, and all without the annoying interruption of commercial breaks. As an added bonus, each service can costs an average of $10 per month, depending on your package. Bearing this in mind, is it time to cancel cable TV and completely switch to streaming? Here are a few arguments for your consideration.

No TV licence fees

Online streaming is not live TV, so they are not covered under TV licence laws. Basically, you could significantly reduce your bills every year by cancelling your TV licence and exclusively watching from a streaming service.

The downside is that you can’t watch any live TV, so sports fans might not find this appealing. However, the game is always playing at a nearby sports bar, and breaking news is now accessible from practically every social media platform. It may be an adjustment, but living without a TV licence is not a far-fetched idea.

No unexpected increase in fees

TV cable companies lure you in with amazing deals in your first year, but you can guarantee that the price will go up once your trial year is over. Also, any price hikes imposed by networks on their cable partners translate over onto your monthly bill, so it’s possible for your monthly price to increase even before your contract ends. Streaming services have kept their prices consistent since they were launched, and the only time your fees go up is when you adjust your package.

Exclusive entertainment

Streaming sites offer exclusive content for their customers that aren’t available on cable TV. Netflix has a reputation for developing controversial TV programmes into hit shows, not to mention all the movies they have available. See what shows will be available on www.Netflixupdate.com. Amazon Prime also has its own exclusive shows, and signing up to both services will still be cheaper than subscribing to cable TV.

Flexibility

Sometimes your budget changes and you need to cut a few luxuries in order to afford the necessities. It’s difficult to cancel your cable when such issues arise because you’re locked into a strict annual contract. Not to mention the salesperson on the phone who tries to entice you into staying by giving you more offers. However, streaming services are far more flexible. You can cancel your Amazon Prime and Netflix subscriptions with a push of a button, and there are no termination fees or penalties. You can also easily restart any of your subscriptions at any time.

Customized viewing

You no longer have to flick through endless channels to find something you might enjoy watching. Streaming services let you subscribe to your favorite shows, and the service will alert you as new episodes are posted. They’re also use your viewing history to recommend movies and TV shows that you might like.

As a natural extension of blogging, many people have used vlogging as a leap from the 2-D to the 3-D way of marketing their business. Vlogs are basically a video version of blogs, and as a result, the scope of increasing your brand or personality is much easier, but also requires a lot more prior thought. Vlogging, when done right, is a much more immediate art form than any other one online. But there is a bigger chance of getting it wrong. You can do promotions for a business like an explainer video, or you can simply do a piece to camera on a regular basis, keeping customers or followed updated on the latest developments. But you need to be a lot more controlling of what goes in front of the camera, which means a lot more investment in every aspect, from the writing to the look of the vlog. While a blog is a piece of writing, and podcasts are audio with writing, vlogs take it one step further. Each method requires planning, and you need to choose which ones suit your personality and image.

The first place to start with a blog is the big idea. It doesn’t have to be an original interest or hobby but always start with what you want the blog to be about. Most people choose to blog about what they’re passionate about or opinionated about. Before you go live it’s a good idea to come up with some content for your blog. Most viewers are put off by patchy content which isn’t regularly updated. Choose your categories and get creating. Creating is the key word here. If you’re not much of a wordsmith but are a dab hand with a camera, photos can be the main part of your posts. Similarly, artwork, quotes, and any other creative nuggets can be used in place of lengthier content.

For some having a blog is a hobby and they don’t mind about how much exposure they get. Others want to grow their blogs so their opinion reaches more people or they can monetize it. Beginner WordPress SEO is a good place to start if you’re looking to expand. SEO stand for search engine optimization, it’s about creating searchable content that search engines put to the top of their lists. You can do this by using keywords that you think your target audience will be searching for. Another good way to promote your blog is to link to it on other social media platforms. Try and convert your Instagram following, for instance, into a blog following too. The more footfall you get on your site the better.

Key Things To Keep In Mind

You should update your content regularly to keep people coming back. You should also make sure that you write about things which are important to you. Don’t just follow the trends, content which you care about will do much better. Blogging is also supposed to be fun. Try not to become too bogged down with the details. Lots of bloggers find the experience to be cathartic and relaxing, so enjoy what you do first and foremost. Most blogging sites have comment sections, these are a great way to interact with your readers and hear their thoughts. These are the best places to start a dialogue and create interest around a post.
