This has truly become my favorite blogging video to film! 🎉 What else do you want to see from me?
It would be great to see you do some interviews with successful bloggers who credit you and your courses & videos with helping them to create money making blogs. It would be great to see how the principles work across a diverse array of blogs.
Sophia I appreciate you. I been tuning in for about three years. I love your advice. I like your email course that I took earlier this year. Could you do a video dedicated to Pinterest? It could be for beginners. Also could you do a video on any second year information and what you would change in your second year? I know you been blogging for years and you are an inspiration.
@@alwaysbetraveling360 Yes ! I love this idea!
Loved this video!
I would love to see more in-depth business blogging videos that are not only for beginners. Like a video for Q4, or a video about hiring, etc
I love your content and your style! One question, how long should a post be? like how many words for a short post and for a in-depth post? Love from Spain!
People in these comments are so demanding as if they’re entitled to your direct help!! Thank you for sharing your insight on the strategies you’ve implemented 🙌🏽 I appreciate your transparency and wisdom!!
I like that you actually had an outline you were following instead of just rambling and going off on tangents. Also appreciate that you showed there's stages to building this type of business instead of advertising overnight success.
I’m so glad you’re back to doing weekly videos! They give me such motivation to keep going on my little blog
I appreciate your commitment to transparency. It's refreshing to see that you're not promoting an unrealistic view and instead, you acknowledge the effort and time involved. After extensive research, I've found your content to be valuable, and I've just made a purchase of your course. Thank you!
First comment! I've watched the previous videos, and it's just so cool seeing how things have grown. Praying for the same level of success you've had over these years, Sophia!
This was so helpful, insightful, and fun! My favorite blogging video of yours so far. Thanks! ♥️
This was fantastic. Thank you for all the helpful tips, and for sharing your journey to date. 😊
Awesome video, Sophia! Your advice hit home. I've been juggling multiple tasks daily, causing major frustration. Inspired by your experience, I'll now tackle one thing per week - like SEO first, then Pinterest. Your year-long focus before diversifying is eye-opening. Time to adjust my plan and see where that takes my business!
what a scam, do you think any person w common sense believes you make 120k a month blogging and takes 30min explaining to do it on youtube.... ridiculous. this how I make 50k 80k 200k a month videos are the most irritating and I will report the video as fake content
Love everything you put out on UA-cam! Thank you!
Great job Sophia that is amazing! Will take the tips to heart.
I’m starting my blog today!!! You’ve taught me so much in a short time and I’m so excited!! Thank you for helping me start my journey. I’m excited to see where it goes ❤
Best of luck to you!!!
@@Irene-wv5zw awww thank you so much honey! Best of luck to you too 🩷
How is it going?
I just wanna say thank you! I sat with my journal today and mapped out things I really like doing on social media. Pinterest is something I truly love! So thank you for sparking a big idea coming to fruition. I’ve subscribed and I’m so thankful your the info! Thank you honey ❤
Sophia, you look very nice. And thank you for the content
Thank you for the inspiration Sophia! I'm finally inspired to take action.
This is super informative thank you for taking the time to share in detail. I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog, this is really helpful.
BlueHost being Walmart is SENDING ME! I must be at the Dollar Tree, I have NameCheap 🤣
This is gold!! Thank you 👏❤
Just discovered you and loved your authenticity !!! Will keep watching!!!
First time I've seen your videos and I'm so happy I found your channel. I'm 3 months into my blogging journey and have made some affiliate sales already which was shocking to me. I took an affiliate blogging course (we share the same mindset about taking courses). I'll definitely check out your blogging course over the next week or so. Congrats on your continued success and looking forward to learning more from you!
Wow congratulations! What is your blog so I can check it out!
What affiliate course did you take?
Would you mind sharing the course you took? Also what great timing to find her! Good luck to you and everyone else
What course did you take? What’s your website?
we are looking for affiliates
You kept the video so informative and engaging that I didn't know 30 mins past. Thanks Sophia and I am glad I found you earlier in my blogging journey. So motivational
I don't think I have ever watched a video from start to finish. I absolutely was captivated by every word! I am going to go check out all of your info! Thank you!!!! Jewels
You've been popping up in my feed for YEARS and I should have subscribed earlier! Have now subscribed :) And im going to give this a go! Ive wanted to run a Blog for ages but ive been really focused on UA-cam. BUT.. no time better to start than now. Thankyou so much for the amazing info!
I like your focus and I like the fact that you take one thing and learn all about it. I'm going to steal that one, but congratulations on being so young and doing such great things. I am definitely going to check out some of your courses soon. Thank you
This video was so helpful! Thank you so much for sharing it with us
Wow, this is pure gold! I really appreciate you sharing your valuable insights with us. Thank you so much!
Thank you so very much!!! This is so helpful!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! ❤️ You inspire me!
Sophia and her teammates this information is priceless. Now that I know you all have an easy payment plan for your courses I’ll be able to get started! Thank you
Thank you very much this was very helpful. I highly appreciate this video been eye opening for me. I will continue to watch your videos. Thanks!
thank you so much sofia! This was great. Really helps to have focus. I'm just starting and trying to figure out how to juggle everything but don't even know if this is a serious endeavor. I'm at peace with the process now
This video has been very comical and informative at the same time..thank you so much ❤️
excellent info! love you! thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for sharing your insight, great video. Definitely going to look into your courses. 💕
Great video! Super helpful. Thank you!
Useful information! Thank you !
Very inspiring; I've been trying to apply your ideas in my blog which I started a few months ago. Thank you.
Such a good video!! I also started blogging in my sophomore year of college, buuuutttt I tried to do everything at once and gave up out of frustration and lack of instant success. I think if I had seen someone break things down year by year (rather than foolishly assuming I would be successful after 3 months) then I might have stuck with it!
Soooooo excited for this video
Clear and understandable, I wish there was more information like this.
This was very informative and impactful video you made. I got great value from watching it.
Thank you so much 🙏🏿
As always your knowledge and willingness to share your trade secrets is so informative and educational. Great Video!!!
OK Sophia. I've been watching your videos as I'm a brand new blogger with one blog posted. I tried to do a good job but didn't worry too much since you said no one would see it. There were 22 views! I can account for 4 or 5 views but I have no idea how anyone else found it. It's kind of cool but I was hoping to remain unnoticed until I knew a bit more about what I'm doing. But I'm still having fun and learning from you.❤
My trouble has been picking a niche and sticking with it. I have a few different passions or things I want to get into that I am not sure would actually make a good blog. I know it’s not all about the money at the beginning but I know there are things that are easier to break into or things that people respond better to vs something that maybe hasn’t been done before. Or if it isn’t a saturated market maybe it will take off because someone else is curious too? I just keep flip flopping and never know how to commit and make the leap.
General blogs work too instead of writing a blog around different topics each day u can use a month to focus on art, second month lifestyle etc. It would still work u don't have to niche down.
I tried to niche down but after a while I got bored staying in 1 place and now I have multiple blogs revolving multiple niches that I can't even manage when I could have just had everything in one place.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing!
BRILLIANT video. One thing we tell our clients (we do SEO) is that they need to think about progress over years.
Thank you so much for this, as a new blogger.
thanks so much. this was a great help after years of being ALL OVER THE PLACE!
Thanks. Great video. Very specific and very true.
Thank you so much for this insightful video
Great info that can apply to so many areas
Amazing video! Thank you so much:)
You explain it very well!
Great content, thank you!
Thank you for interesting information , very informative and helpful
This was really helpful!
you are helping many through your content❤❤
Thank you for telling the truth and really helping your audience. Much appreciated.
Thanks for sharing you Blogging story progress and sucess (in such a sincere way :)
Hello, thank you !!! this was an awesome and very informative video. Much appreciated ! Thank You for talking about Pinterest. I already started my Pinterest account. Wishing you much more success! Definitely will have to look at your courses.
Absolutely love the content you share. It has been quite helpful in my blogging journey. You rock! Sophia, you are such an inspiration. Thank you for all that you do. Also, you blogging course provided me with so much knowledge. It was well worth the investment.
Awesome story. Your brain may be mush by the end of this, but the content is so perfect for inspiring viewers, even an old dude like me. Congratulations and much continued success. Thanks for sharing your journey in this informative video.
Please do a dedicated video on themes! Love your content ❤
So talanted, you can tell, there a lot of talanted bloggers out there with their own thing to sell to audience. I think I'll go over through some of your content and leave a comment on each video if you don't mind)
Thanks for saying that it was terrifying. I see so much confidence in you that it crossed my mind that I need to be on that level and as a starter I'm scared! 😬
I bought that same lamp for my cousin!
So inspiring
Hi Sophia, this might be a really dumb question but will your perfecting blogging and Pinterest courses work for food bloggers specifically? Haha I think I already know this answer but just wanted to double check before purchasing! Thank you!
I think there needs to be some discussion about the impact of AI on blogging. Blogging as a workable strategy for passive income may already be on the way out.
So many gems here 💎
Thank you ❤😊
I just bought my Host today 😊
I don't have time at the moment to watch the whole video, but thank you for posting Sophia! My only question is can I write about anything I want to and have a successful blog or would I need to follow your recommendations on what to write about to make it to say $50,000 per month?
Yeah my blog will be about how to keep squirrels from attacking my trash cans!
Thanks alot - I am myself a professional and want to start my side hustle and ultimately make it my main hustle. You helped alot in strategising. Hope one day I am also able to talk like you on a YT video. Lots of love
Can an old dude do this? I can actually type 85 WPM -- using all my fingers (thanks to my 8th grade teacher), lol Your humbleness is adorable because it exudes sincerity and transparency, something everyone is attracted to. Great video, you've inspired me!! God bless you, Sophia.
Do you think if you started a new vlog today, from scratch, all of the things you did 5 years ago would still apply?
Im wondering if your audience is loyal, locked in, so I could see how you would still get views/visits and stay at the “top” of google.
Plus, with all of the years you’ve been online and the amount of traffic you’ve gotten over time, you’d have a much better page rank, which means your blog can be in “cruise control”.
And someone starting today would be at the bottom of the “pile”, thus growing really slowly or not at all…
As a Creative Entrepreneur who just started a channel, I have a wellspring of innovative flow pouring out of me, but its hard to find time. I have to work a job to pay bills and I am the only one to do so. I write, do art, graphic design, photography, and even dabble in Mime. I always dreamed of being hired by another entrepreneur like yourself to build an empire of my creativity. Just so I can have full time devoted to my craft. I have great buisness ideas and Im sticking to it regardless if I have help or not. I love creative people. Its truly a selfless artform. Kuddos to what you do and congratulations on the success!
Great video but “time isn’t money” time is far more valuable than money
And even more valuable than time is focus.
I’m new to your channel great info.. I honestly didn’t know about hosted websights…the only thing is?? there’s nothing about the niche and the competitiveness of your chosen niche, DR rating, links, how AI is used or it’s influence, topical clusters and EEAT, how many blog posts do I need 10-20-50-100 or more to gain authority within a niche ?? Sorry I’m new so many questions -thank you for this amazing content !!
I have taken her blogging course! Definitely worth it!
I know you only just took the course but do you have any earnings? Have you launched your blog?
@@lisacousins6110 I already had blogs. I redid them and added new blogs. I havent gotten any earmings yet, but that's because I didnt set anything up. my goal was to get traffic. I'm going to set up the ads part very soon though. I'm still not getting a ton of traffic but it's more than i was getting before. Put it like this. If I had added the ads to my website. I probably wouldve made what I paid for the course back by now. I did this over a year ago lol
How long was the period between the moment you bought your domain to the moment your site went live?
I'm thanking 2014 old me for going with Wordpress self hosted!! Honestly back then we had less options but I'm soooooo glad I did!!!!
Okay continuing watching the video .. will come back with more comments hahha
100000% about the theme, I just changed mine actually, I guess thats why UA-cam showed your video, after being talking so much how I want to spend more time on my blog this winter, UA-cam heard me hahaha
YEAH BABY
Hi! Tjaml
You for your video. I already have a kajabi blog does this mean I have to stop using this and start over?
I started my blog 2 years ago after watching your blogging videos not sure of what my niche was.
My question now is, should I take a blogging course related to my niche which is style and beauty it can I take yours
But you do a video about the Google console? I have written 40 blogs and the Google console is saying crawled but not indexed. It's been about 2 months.
Hello, how are you? Please what do you think of Webador? Is it self-hosted or not? Thank you
I think this is about to change my life
Great video❤Does the $120,000/monthly include your course sells?
Loved blogs back in the day- but now there are soooooo many advertisements. Like UA-cam so much more.
I'm launching a clothing brand but I thought it would be smart to start a blog first to build a community and get people interested in what the brand message is. Does your course go over people who have stores on their blog and sell their own products or just affiliate links? Because I'm not sure if having links on the store would bother a customer. Would I only allow ads on the blog pages?
by self hosted do you mean a dedicated host instead of a shared host?
Informative video! Are you using Ai for anything currently? What do you think the impact of Ai will be on the blogging industry?
What camera and lens are you using?
Ahhh what if I already have a Squarespace domain that expires this July? Should I still move to word press and just cancel the square space one?
Nice❤️
What if your wordpress website has a blog. Could I still make money doing it this way, or should I keep it separate?
Great video. Also, please work on the lighting.
Hello. Really enjoy your vidoes and content about your bloghing jounrney. Im on thay journey also, but need a little help. What your best course for blogging thank you
But hang on, so your website now is built on Showit? May I know what changed your mind from self-hosted WP to Showit? Thank you so much.
May I ask how many page views you have to have before you can apply to affiliate links?
