This is one of the best videos I've seen on this topic. I feel like it's so easy to get sucked into Instagram, and to hear you say it's not necessary is a relief.
Omg i just started a blog and felt so lost despite taking courses from here and there and just by watching this gave me so much direction! Cant wait to apply these tips!!! You are such a blessing 💖
It's so amazing that you took charge of your education and income! You're truly an inspiration, not only for your generation but the older generation as well!
I never normally comment on these video but thats literally the first thing I thought just a few mins in. We got this sis, best wishes and prosperity on your journey !
Giulia I’m at a stand still right now I’m having a hard time driving traffic to my blog and finding my audience. Tried pintrest but I must be doing it wrong
Hi everybody! It's so moving to see young girls taking control over their lives. There's hope in the world! Well done for paying for your education and following your dreams! I recently started my natforthat.com blog and I am educating myself as to how to make it work. Times are changing and we have to stay afloat! Good luck to everyone reading this and remember it's never too late! xxx
This video is so informative! Thank you so much, the fact that it only took you 1 year and a half to get so far!! You are very inspiring, generous and encouraging, I've been wanting to start a blog for ages and now I am ❤️
Amazing content !! All beginners must watch . I am in this industry for last 7 yrs and must tell that all the points that you touched are very practical
I saw this video over a year ago. I never forgot about it! I finally found your channel and of course I’m subscribing! I’m excited to see all the new things
The reason is because you guys only focus on how you make the money instead of practically showing us the way out in practical terms, and for me i really need it Sophia. Thanks
I love all the info, I have a few of your resources I downloaded. I need to get back to blogging. I got sucked into Instagram lately but blogging definitely helps you speak to your target audience rather than speaking to anyone on IG plus the organic reach is not good right now.
I spent a good chunk of my blogging an influence in career focusing on Instagram. And while I did get really great results from that, the residual income has come from having a blog and posting regular blog posts
This is the most insanely inspiring video!! I have a food blog (not related to this youtube channel that I'm writing from) and I make most of my income through sponsored posts but I have to say it's so exhausting, I'd rather be making most of my income through ad rev and affiliate (though I've found it's hard to optimize for food blogs...though maybe I'm doing it wrong!!). I'm going to check out the affiliate course you recommended! Thank you so much for being an inspiration!! You are truly GOALS!
Hey there I am at an influencer who is making a lot of my money through brand deals. And then I realized that I was missing out on the real money with affiliate commissions and ads. I highly recommend taking her courses to help you monetize a blog!!
This video is super inspiring. I have been looking into starting a blog for a while now but it was hard to find someone I could relate to telling me that I could do it. Thanks so much for this video. I feel like we're in the same shoes and it makes me feel like I can accomplish this.
This video was posted a year ago, but I wanted to say thanks for sharing! I've been interested in making a blog for the longest time, but I didn't know where to start. This video is far beyond insightful & I am a college student myself. I'm studying Accounting & you inspired to get started! Again, thank you so much! I just subscribed to your channel! 😊💕
You've inspired me! I'm also preparing for Architecture school and I'm currently working part-time to save money to buy a new laptop and other materials I'd need in college. Thanks for the tips! 💞
Thank you!! Not giving up - from this morning until tonight I have come full circle. Had tons of tech glitches this morning and wanted to quit but didn't. Appreciate you tips!
Congrats on your blog Sophia, so glad that you're not just another starving blogger. ;) As you've pointed out, there's lots of effective ways to make money blogging. It just takes some dedication and testing out different strategies to find out which ones works the best for you. Much continued success!
You are. So amazing. Thank you for full disclosure. Seriously. Thank you. Question!!! I looooove writing, but I am not otherwise artistically gifted...a big hold up for me is the photo part of blogging. Do you take your own photos for snapshots for Pinterest? Do you purchase from some site? Do you have a go-to editor for adding text to a picture meant to pinned on Pinterest? If you’ve already answered these questions on another source, please direct me. I’m already so so grateful for all the info you’ve willingly shared already.
I agree with the theme part. As someone who is more creative with words than visuals, its easier to pay someone for a theme, and saves me time and headache. And no need to splurge either. If it looks nice and provides support in terms of thorough how to use guides and other useful information, then go for it!
I’m starting a new blog, I wanna see if I can really grow myself in it as I’m a mum of two and doing a job outside is hard. Thanks for sharing your tips and wish me luck.
Hi! I've always wanted to start an interesting blog and website and I've dabbled into Wordpress a couple of times, but this video really inspires me to get started! Thanks!
Just came across this video...it's great advice for those of us just starting out with blogging and looking to drive more traffic to our sites! Thanks!
Great advice about changing it from being about me to them. I’ve been making it about me but I’m gunna use this tip and change it to be about them! Thanks!
Wow! I have to ay you are amazing! You have provided so much information on your page especially loving the step by step creating blog! Seriously you are the best I have come across. God bless you as I have been struggling to start my blog. You have made it so easy! Thank you soooooo much! YOU ARE A GEM!!
I'm almost at the end....watched the ads, watched the video in full, writing my second comment, liked and subscribed. And the is my first video I have watched - thank you SO much! Your video was such high quality. Thank you!
well, it's not every month that I make $9,000! This year it will probably range from $2,000-$10,000 depending on the month. not complaining at all, that's still really good money to be making while in college!
@@BySophiaLee Good money to be making period! I've muted the add so I am not annoyed by it, and scrolling through the comments before watching so my view can count as monetised haha
Thank you for all your info and recommendations! Very useful! Congrats on doing so well for yourself :D I took a look at your blog and it really is appealing. Good on you!
Nice content! I don’t find myself necessarily super skilled in one area, however I’m passionate about digital marketing and discussing about it. I’m planning to start a blog with topics related to SEO, content marketing etc then turn the content into youtube video and podcast for more exposure. What do you think of this idea? Should I rather find a more niche industry to talk about rather than broad digital? Thanks
Hi Sophia, New sub here:--). I've been toying with the idea of a blog for the longest because I find it intimidating. That is until now. Everything you said resonated with me and I'm finally going to follow through. Bless you for sharing your insight:--).
@Savannah Corona It's not:--). I can't make the commitment. I recently started a second YT channel, So my focus was there. But I love writing, Thank you for inquiring...it's a sign for me to get on the ball;--). Are you currently blogging?
This was so detailed, helpful and inspiring, I started my own blog a month ago thanks to you and it has been going great. I also have a question, is it possible to make money and succeed without an email list?
So crazy question: Do you have any tips on how to keep your life private with having a blog/online biz? I'm very private like you, but I always assumed I'd lose my privacy if I start a blog/online biz. -Oh also, you mention having to have a certain amount of "sessions" to be considered for media companies. What are sessions? Thx!!! Great video!
Pick a specific niche, a blog or lifestyle blog does not have to be directly about your whole life. If you like beauty you can create posts strictly around all things beauty tips. If you like fitness, you can write about all things fitness tips. People who land on your blog just want answers to their problems. Ex. Fitness, how to meal prep, how to grocery shop, how to pack your gym bag, etc.
I dont know how i came across this video but i love it and I subscribed to your email list and you tube. I hope to learn and become a blogger. Im a truck driver currently but im looking to utilize the down time i have on the road to start something on the side as well as create something i can essentially do full time and work for myself. Thank you
I haven't watched the video yet, but checked out one of your income reports when you gave the URL. Instead of ~30% to the government, you should invest it back into your business and write-off most of your expenses. Establish a Delaware LLC if you haven't already so you can favorably use the tax code and give yourself a layer of protection. That's way too much to be paying in taxes this early when you could be using that money to help your business grow.
This is one of the best videos I've seen on this topic. I feel like it's so easy to get sucked into Instagram, and to hear you say it's not necessary is a relief.
I couldn't agree more!!
People think blogging is out dated but is is sooooo important! Love the video!!
Omg i just started a blog and felt so lost despite taking courses from here and there and just by watching this gave me so much direction! Cant wait to apply these tips!!! You are such a blessing 💖
I decided to start considering interior architecture YESTERDAY and this is one HELL of a sign
It's so amazing that you took charge of your education and income! You're truly an inspiration, not only for your generation but the older generation as well!
0:28 I watched the full thing in one sitting. Very informative, straight to the point, conversational. Thank you.
You have been a blessing and I'm on my way to being the best blogger I can be so thanks a tun for this video and ALL the info

I went to your blog and I love it. How is it going now? I'd love to chat with you about this :)
I’ve seen so many how to blog videos and yours is the best I’ve seen. So simple and to the point and amazing tips

Please let us know if you started earning already, and the difference in traffic.
Thank you for sharing your best tipps. I took notes, really clear and precise.

Just checked out her blog and site. She’s legit and so very impressive!
I have learned more from you in 18 minutes than hours of other YTbrs. A million thanks!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Sophia for your willingness to help which is an indication of how you are confident of your virtual space.

Did you do it? I have to know.
I love all the info, I have a few of your resources I downloaded. I need to get back to blogging. I got sucked into Instagram lately but blogging definitely helps you speak to your target audience rather than speaking to anyone on IG plus the organic reach is not good right now.

One of my favorite videos on How to Start a Blog
This video is super inspiring. I have been looking into starting a blog for a while now but it was hard to find someone I could relate to telling me that I could do it. Thanks so much for this video. I feel like we're in the same shoes and it makes me feel like I can accomplish this.

Loved this video it truly inspired me to start my blog !
I haven't watched the video yet, but checked out one of your income reports when you gave the URL. Instead of ~30% to the government, you should invest it back into your business and write-off most of your expenses. Establish a Delaware LLC if you haven't already so you can favorably use the tax code and give yourself a layer of protection. That's way too much to be paying in taxes this early when you could be using that money to help your business grow.
Even saying its a home based business sole prop could work. The more write offs the better
Brilliant! This was so helpful. Thank you!
Stellar video. Thank you.
Thank you!!!this is very informative and helpful :) You are awesome!!! ❤🦋💞
Solid advice and a great video.
