99.7% of new bloggers write about generic topics that have a lot of other high-quality content. You can't outrank them because old blogs have authority and trust. Jump with new topics or with topics that generate a lot of traffic, but have a lack of quality content.
Great detail and good commentary. Blogging remains a great online business. People want to hear real stories from real people. Deliver value and you’ll do just fine with your blog.
I've started blogging and then stop because English is my second language and found out vlogging is WAAYYYYY easier for me since American Sign Language is my first language! Love your channel... I've been sitting here for the last few days learning about stuff from you! I'm ready to really dive in!
My blog is to be about my family and my hobbies like diamond painting and more I love learning new things. You videos help me a lot but as I am new to this all I’m still learning myself. Thank you
I’m thinking of starting a blog about gen z but for adults basically a place where adults can get questions and answer on why their teenagers act the way they do from a teenagers point of view
I'm glad that you're telling it straight and didn't sugarcoat that blogging takes work and dedication if you want it to be successful. Your video puts things into proper perspective and gets people started out on the right path. keep the great videos coming!..
My fiance is a big fan of yours, and she got me listening to you now. As a new channel I'm always looking for ideas and tips and your explanations and detail are better than most other people I've watched. Great job.
I’m a survivor of sex assault and abuse. I’m thinking of starting a blog to show tips to grow from trauma and as a person. Just curious to see if that would be a worth it?
Omg, I’m soooo happy I found your video. I made a wordpress blog a year ago and got stuck. I have the free version and every time I’ve searched, everyone just confuses me with other websites and hosts but they just don’t seem to explain it in a simple way that I can personally understand until I found you 🥰. I think I’m going to binge watch more of your videos later. New subscriber here xxx

Nurse of 20+ years. Would love to share some thoughts of coming up, surviving, and mentoring others. This field isn't what it used to be, but the core should be the same; don't kill anyone, help others, have fun. I would love any information on starting this journey.
I feel like mine is way crazy..... I love fashion, I love food, I love writing and I also love talking about mental issues..... They all sooo different but I connect them all
Love positivity and ways to improve mental health . Also just identifying things that may impact mental health. In the current world situation - I fear We don’t even have our arms around all the impacts.
Switching gears from photography biz blog to more of a travel niche and I NEEDED THIS today! Thank you for hammering consistency into my head with the tv show metaphor. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This video is really helpful. Than k you for being so clear and precise about the details. The information I really needed started at 9:00. Starting with Creating a Website.
I always found UA-cam to be a lot more work than blogging just due to filming and editing that takes up time, vs blogging is writing and editing copy-I’d love to hear your take and experience on this!
Yes, I agree with your point too. I have a UA-cam channel and it’s takes forever for me to film and edit. And I have soo much to say. So I’m thinking of switching to blogging now.
i would like to start a blog about the life of a immigrant just arriving to a new country, and the process of learning a new language, involving to a new culture and so on, what do you guys think about it?
this is a fantastic video! thank you so so much for such an honest, straight forward insightful instruction to help people with ideas connect to people with questions
I’m starting a blog based on my experience with my mom having kidney cancer and hopefully help other kids and people who have been affected by cancer as well
i want to start a blog that talks about embarrassing moments in my life and the lessons i learned from them. i want it to hopefully i've people insight on that situation or anything similar and hopefully to also entertain the readers. is that a profitable idea?
The confusing part is how to begin. Do I first find a hosting site and then build my site, or build a site and then link it to a hosting site, or is there a one stop shop?
This is where I am too. I’m just going to find an affordable person to create me one with all the advice she said. Also I’m confused about having a niche 😩😬
Hi Jessica Just finished watching your video on how to start blogging...loved it. I plan to start blogging but don't feel totally motivated cause of my age and courage..i am planning to blog my home as we planning to redo our home...ive always have wanted to be an interior designer and now i feel its my chance to shine...but really feel demotivated if i can get some help on how to reach out to start
Hey Jessica, first time here and very informative. I'm looking at starting my own blog in french so looking forward on viewing more videos on this subject. I see you have lots of subscribers here and hopefully I will have as much if not more one's I'm set up. Thanks
I quit my job to watch my twins. Tried pt jobs but covid hit. So they r almost 3 and im trying to make money at home. Kids show, puppet, kids book, tshirts. Now a blog. Thx for the vid
Thank you for the great tips, I have a word press blog and a youtube channel. I do have Word Press but always have a hard time figuring it all out haha. I will definitely watch more of your videos for help!
I have just recently became interested in blogging, and this is the first video I clicked on. Great help, but I do have one more question: let’s say I start a blog but don’t want to pay a lot upfront, is there anyway I could start it free then change it over to one I pay for? For example, I use WordPress for free, and later on down the road I switch it over to where I pay for it? Also is it a monthly payment or a 1x fee? Sorry for so many questions, but “money” is my main question before going forward. Thanks!
I'm a 14 year old girl and I'm working on a comic with a fairly complicated story based on somewhat science fiction?? I've been working on it for a year now and I want to start a blog on my process, not like, talking about story beats and spoilers, just the concepts, how I write characters, how to write People of color or LGBT themes (coming from an LGBT POC), how I write settings and plotlines, art tips, aesthetics, etc. I want to gain enough traction to have enough of a following to get more commissions and publish my comic, so whenever I'm living on my own I can earn money from my comic and commissions on the side, while I work in the industry want to work in (for now it's game design but that might change since I'm literally just a freshman in high school right now). Despite me being fairly young, I like to think I have enough knowledge to start out the advice stuff on a steady foot, but more than enough that I don't know to where people who follow my blog can also learn with me.
Also is this a thing you could do from a phone or tablet or must you have a laptop or PC? Or does it even matter and you can do your blogs from anywhere?
As an artist and anime fan, I want my blog to be about anime/manga reviews, keeping up with different anime, some recommendations and keeping up/artist recommendations. Money is nice but I want attraction or else it'll feel more like a diary :( Hopefully, it'll work out!
I have a question. When you are brainstorming on many articles at once, and you get bits of ideas for one here and there, is there an app or program that makes it easy to keep track so ideas do not get lost? Thank you! Rhonda
I have a question......As you have been using wordpress for a long time and have lots of experience with it...how do you make sure the wordpress website does crash due to plugins getting updates or some kind of bugs?.....I generally do not get these issues with squarespace or Shopify....with Shopify you can also give other people limited access to fix the issues but you do not have to give full access to the site like wordpress....how do you prevent these issues? I have lost more than 10 wordpress websites in the past due to these issues...that is why I am so apprehensive of wordpress but for a blog I have no choice to revert back to wordpress ▼
i deff. recommend for sure they are so accurate and are very helpful coming down to bare dets. they will help at the end of the day thank me later promise!
my take away - hire someone to set it up for you lol - i'm just wanting a place to express myself and let off some steam - i certainly have a niche - i don't care about making money - i do care about traffic and interaction - -
you dont care about money, that one successful mind!, you found your niche which is one hard thing for most , market yourself and your website! Need help!?
Amazing video :) Question : My blog would be within self-care (routines, fitness and Health) with three topics within one blog , how many times should I post a week? Thank you 🙏
I love Jessica’s lip color. I think this is the part that I worry about that if I got on there on some topic then people start asking you questions about the background or something you’re wearing lol.
Hi Jessica, thank you for the post and your generosity. I like to start something quickly while I think about my niche. Instead of waiting to have the perfect niche like to start something and build on it. With that said, do you have any tips on how I can do this low cost. you seem to discourage free Wordpress account. If I go paid. what do you recommend so that is is cheaper. I assuming there will be hosting subscription fees and word press license, etc.. Mucha appreciate your input. thank you!! Kash
Great information thank you for sharing.. one thing I struggle with is setting up the right blog and the way it looks. Would you have any advice? Thank you
Coming into this video very late but am getting really interested in potentially starting my own blog. However I am TERRIBLE when it comes to the tech stuff. It seems overwhelming with all that you need to do/have. My question is who do you go to if you’re thinking about hiring someone to set it up for you and how much would that cost?
Debbie Araque hi Debbie, I actually create Wordpress blogs for a living! Depending on how many pages and how complex your website is, depends on how much I charged, but generally a basic blog is around £100. Feel free to send me a message at Imali.windsor@supportonthespot.co.uk for some more help and so we can arrange a chat!
My wife needs to blog. She loves to talk and my ear is always bleeding. Hahaha She would be good at this. Just need to get her motivated about it. Some extra income would be nice.
My big question, what if you just want a creative space to share your ideas with no immediate interest in making money is it wise to start a blog, share your thoughts
I want to start a blog to document my self improvement journey and inspire others to start their self improvement journey.
I realize my comment is late but I'm finally starting a self care blog that i've been dying to grow. Thank you so much for the advice and hope
wanna support each other’s blog?
Your youtube banner is beautiful! I would love to see your blog! :)
Hi

Yes🥺
I am so sorry that something like that happened to you. I applaud you for wanting to help others.
Great, very clear. I've tried this before without an overall plan and now I see how important the basic first steps are. Thanks!
I appreciate your emphasis on finding a niche. I keep working on coming up with that very thing and find myself wondering just how specific I can get.
