A vlog is an online video series (aka video blog) in which the narrator shares their experiences with a niche or topic. In most, if not all, vlogs, the narrator and videographer are the same person. Common vlog topics include travel, health/fitness, makeup, fashion, parenting, music, and more.
Vlogs have been around for at least 20 years, and you can find them on:
Vlogging allows creators to connect with audiences in a direct, visual, and often deeply personal way.
TipAre you thinking about starting your own vlog? There are lots of steps and best practices to consider, but luckily QuillBot offers free tools to make them easier. For example, QuillBot’s YouTube video description generator can show you a variety of ways to describe your vlog so that you can choose the one that fits your style.
UX writing is the practice of creating the text users see and interact with in apps and websites. This includes things like buttons, error messages, and short descriptions—any element that helps people complete a task (like buying a product) or navigate a website (like finding where to download an ebook).
UX writing exampleInstead of a vague “Submit” button that leaves users wondering what happens next, good UX writing says “Download your guide,” making both the action and outcome crystal clear.

Technical writing is a specialized type of written communication that delivers complex information in a clear and accurate way to its readers. Technical writing is mostly used in fields like science, engineering, healthcare, and consumer electronics.

The instruction manual for a new washing machine
A lab report on the effect of pH on enzymes
Post-operative medical instructions for a wisdom tooth extraction

UGC, meaning “user-generated content,” is content created by users of a brand and is often incorporated into the brand’s content strategy.
UGC exampleA customer of the (fictional) beauty brand GlowUp makes a TikTok video using the brand’s highlighting serum and tagging the brand in the post. GlowUp then shares the video on their official channels. This video is UGC.
QuillBot’s free TikTok script generator can help TikTokers create even more compelling content that’s likely to get noticed by brands.

Branded content is a type of marketing that focuses on creating engaging, story-driven media that subtly promotes a brand.
Branded content exampleTasteTrail, a (fictional) gourmet spice brand, launches a YouTube travel series where a chef explores exotic markets and traditional recipes in different countries. Each episode focuses on culture and food heritage, subtly showcasing how TasteTrail’s spices can recreate these recipes at home.
Working on branded content? QuillBot’s AI Story Generator turns simple prompts into vivid stories you can use for your brand.
Curated content is content created by others that a brand, organization, or individual selects and shares with their audience as a way to inform and engage them.
Curated content exampleMaya prepares the weekly email newsletter at her digital marketing agency. Instead of creating original content for each newsletter, Maya spends each week reading news and blog posts and scanning social media.
Maya then links the top five articles in her newsletter, writing a short summary and key takeaways for each.
In this way, Maya is using curatedcontent—content from third parties that she has sourced, selected, and organized—instead of creating original content for her newsletter.

Struggling with writer’s block? Plot tangled beyond repair? AI story generators and story writers, like QuillBot’s free AI Story Generator, are here to help. They are promising tools that use artificial intelligence to generate narratives, break through creative barriers, and untangle plot points.
While they can make writing faster and easier, many writers hesitate to use them, worrying they’ll lose their voice or originality. This concern is understandable but doesn’t have to hold you back. This article will show you how to make the best out of these tools while keeping you and your creative vision in the driver’s seat.
Evergreen content refers to material that remains relevant and useful to your readers for months or years after its publication. Rather than becoming quickly outdated, evergreen content addresses topics people will always search for regardless of seasons, trends, or current events.
Evergreen content exampleAn article titled “How to Soothe a Crying Baby” is evergreencontent because there will always be parents desperately looking for advice at 3 AM, and the soothing techniques remain more or less constant over time. In contrast, “The Hottest Summer Fashion Trends for 2025” is not evergreen. It will quickly become irrelevant once the season changes or fashion moves on.
Evergreen content requires minimal updating to remain useful and continue to attract traffic, engagement, and shares long after it’s published. Because nothing undermines timeless advice faster than timeless typos, make sure your evergreen content is polished and error-free with QuillBot’s Grammar Checker.
You wake up, reach for your phone on the nightstand, and, still half-asleep, start scrolling through social media. Between your friend’s vacation photos and your cousin’s new puppy, a sleek ad catches your eye: “Skip the coffee shop line: Barista-worthy coffee at home.”
Intrigued, you tap the link, landing on a website promising ethically sourced beans with tasting notes of chocolate and blackberry. Just as you’re browsing their bestsellers, a pop-up appears: “Get 10% Off Your First Order! Enter your email to claim your discount.” Tempted by the promise of savings, you type in your address and, just like that, your next barista-worthy cup of coffee feels within reach.
Those words that pulled you from mindless scrolling, the descriptions that made you practically smell the coffee through your screen, the perfectly timed discount that pushed you from “just looking” to “customer,” that’s copywriting at work.
TipGood copywriting often involves storytelling to help audiences connect their own experience to your product or service. QuillBot’s free AI story writer can help you easily craft stories tailored to your brand.
