Are you a blogger trying to run a hemp blog?
What is hemp?
Hemp is a versatile plant from the cannabis family, used for various industrial purposes such as making paper, fabric, and health products, and it contains only trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive compound found in marijuana.
The Internet has brought us many joys, communication being one of them. With so many social media platforms and thematic blogs, finding someone who shares your interests and hobbies has never been easier. If you are looking for someone to discuss CBD and cannabis cultivation, we’ve prepared a list of the best platforms for everything you may need: from honest reviews on best-selling cannabis seeds to professional advice on growing connoisseurs-beloved strains.
So, without further ado, scroll down to learn more about running a hemp blog.
According to the GA4 eCommerce data, Instagram is one of the world’s most fast-growing and influential social media platforms.
There are many pros of Instagram:
It’s easy to use, entertaining, informative, and extremely useful for finding people that are on the same page as you. Thousands of people on Instagram write about all things cannabis, CBD, THC, etc.
In addition, you can use this platform to connect with CBD brands and dispensaries. Caution – Instagram bloggers are not always sharing their real experiences and may present paid promotions under the disguise of honest reviews.

If you use Instagram as a source of practical knowledge, you can take advantage of the InstaDP tool, allowing you to download Instagram content for subsequent use. For example, it may help you get hold of valuable information on cannabis growing that you can get back to at any time when you need some growing guidance.
When you follow CBD influencers, the Instagram order of likes ensures that you see their posts as often as possible, which means you don’t have to do anything to keep up with the cannabis world. Just open your app and enjoy reading about the most worth-it CBD products and cultivation tips.
Let’s look at more ways to run a successful hemp blog.
YouTube
If you are looking for more guidance on home cannabis cultivation, there’s no better place to learn more than YouTube channels. The very format of this video platform is ideal for communicating information that is hard to explain in words, such as the following:
- How to germinate seeds
- What setup to use
- How to plant seeds in the soil
- How the female/male plants look
- How the ready-to-harvest weed looks
- What strain to use for different setups
YouTube videos can help even newbies with no knowledge of cannabis whatsoever to collect a decent yield.

Moreover, YouTube is the top platform for learning more about the business and marketing aspects of the cannabis industry.
Here, you can find blogs posting the following content:
- Cannabis companies’ news
- Industry trends
- Jobs in the cannabis industry
- Cannabis politics
- Equipment for growing on an industrial scale
It’s YouTube bloggers’ job to parse through hundreds of cannabis products and discern which ones are actually worth purchasing, beyond internet hype or flash-in-the-pan virality. So, you can use this platform to learn about the best-ever CBD edibles, vape pens, topicals, and more.
Let’s explore more online platforms that will help you publish a successful hemp blog.
If it’s communication that you’re after, we highly recommend checking Reddit subreddits. This social media platform is very simple in its structure. Reddit users communicate via a forum-like platform, and their interaction consists of posts (i.e., a statement that starts a conversation) and associated comments (i.e., replies to this initial statement). Discussions are organized in topically focused subreddits, which helps locate the content.
Research indicates that Reddit has been widely used for discussing stigmatized topics, such as cannabis consumption, possibly because it has fewer restrictions on controversial discussions compared to other platforms. So, if there are any sensitive topics you want to discuss or if you are simply looking for someone to share your passion for cannabis in an informal, relaxed setting, Reddit is definitely a platform to try!
Thematic Forums
Don’t underestimate the value of thematic forums. While it may seem that forums are a thing of the past, many decent ones still share insider information on CBD and cannabis cultivation. They may not look as fancy as top influencers’ accounts on YouTube or Instagram, but they maintain a personal feel and are often more honest and truthful.
Created by cannabis enthusiasts, these platforms can help you find information you won’t be able to find anywhere else, from how to adjust your growing setting to a specific cannabis strain to where to purchase high-quality seeds in your area.
People on forums are also eager to share their experience of consuming CBD in different forms, whether edibles or vaping. Their reviews may be very helpful in finding products that work for you.

Quora
If you are fairly new to the world of cannabis, Quora is the to-go platform where you can find answers to your questions in a non-judgmental and friendly atmosphere. Users generate content on this question-and-answer platform, so it’s one of the most democratic and easy tools out there to become a part of the cannabis community if your intent is to publish a hemp blog.
The accuracy of information provided there is assessed by the users themselves. The most correct, detailed, and relevant answers are upvoted like Reddit upvotes so that they appear at the top of the response list. While information on Quora is not always 100% correct, it’s still a great platform for finding answers to the trickiest questions. Check the related questions section, which often provides a deeper insight into different aspects of your initial inquiry. However, be careful – it’s easy to spend hours on Quora without even noticing!

Starting Your Own Blog
If you feel that you have much to share, why not start your own blog? There’s nothing more rewarding than finding people who appreciate your content and respect your opinion.
However, developing a blog from scratch is hard work, and it may take much time and effort to gain followers. Anyone who has ever tried to create content, even as simple as a caption for nature pic on Instagram, knows that it takes much time, creativity, and inspiration. Putting a funny Instagram location is a good trick, but it’s not enough to draw attention.
Sometimes, no matter what you do, your posts just don’t seem to reach your target audience (for cases like this, use a Shadowban Checker to make sure your social media account isn’t suspended).

Don’t get discouraged by these initial challenges. You will likely eventually succeed if you:
- Present original content
- Post regularly
- Diversify your content (videos, photos, explainers, etc.)
- Stay true to your interests and values
- Communicate with your audience
If you want to enter the professional blogging sphere, you can take advantage of sophisticated tools such as Scale Nut, which help optimize your content and monetize your content, or YouTube Automation, allowing you to create videos faster.
