[@nowuknow7364]

I searched how to start a blog and one of your older videos popped up and was impressed. I like you, because you are being real. Not rehearsed or reading from a script. Very informative even with just the basics. Will definitely check out your courses.

"I need to just shut up at this point" I love your videos. So real and non scripted. Feels like we're just talking. Very useful information. Also I appreciate that you don't have distracting music playing over the whole video.

[@WineCheeseScallops]

Great advice! We’re now a month into our blog. For years, we’ve posted our food on our personal Facebook pages, and our friends finally convinced us to make the jump into blogging. We’re having a blast learning everything you mentioned. The first affiliate rejection was tough, and then came the second, third, fourth… OUCH. But finally, a few came through and saved us emotionally-lol. Everything you’ve said here aligns with our experience. We’ll definitely be checking out more of your content! Thanks so much!

[@aznpridebuhhd]

I really enjoy the in depth and transparent blogging videos you share on KZbin!

[@preethikadoeslife]

As someone who's just getting started with blogging, this video was super helpful in terms of setting realistic goals for these first few years. Thanks for sharing!!

[@akthenx]

True

[@RaeanneMacklin]

I started a blog a few months ago but haven't been able to keep up with it and it's SOOOOO confusing! I bought both of your courses yesterday and I'm already halfway through one! The blogging course so far has been SO helpful! I'm looking forward to completing both courses soon - thank you for all your hard work and leading by example ❤️

[@briannehuntsman9215]

You got this! There’s a lot of bad info out there, and I’ve made thousands of dollars as a blogger thanks to Sophia!

[@sanasajid1117]

@@briannehuntsman9215 hey i really wanna start blogging and take it seriously, but here on KZbin I've seen many videos that tell to not start blogging since the earning is way too slow and it's just a waste of time, but i really think I wanna do it and I can make it , so should I really invest in her courses because I want to learn it properly since i don't know a lot of thinks like how to use correct keywords for SEO, so do you recommend Sophia's courses?

[@tomaccino]

@@sanasajid1117 You can learn all of this for free if you google it. The reason Sophia has a steady income is because she is selling this course to other wannabe bloggers. I checked her blog, it's nothing of value (dorm decor ideas and stuff)... If you have a great, charismatic personality all you need to do to make money is sell courses and webinars, you don't even need to have a blog... But it's your choice, blogging can be good as well.

[@sanasajid1117]

@@tomaccinoif dorm decor is not of value to you doesn't mean it isn't valuable to anyone. I find her blog quite useful and helpful.

[@sharonla8071]

Another good saying is that luck is the meeting of preparation and opportunity. I really enjoyed this video. I'm starting to learn about blogging and KZbin, getting domain names and setting up websites and am finding it all very exciting. I'm 76 and am googling terms like c-panel. There was a moment today when I thought I was in over my head but everything finally worked so your video was just the inspiration I needed tonight. Thank you.❤

I just started my blog and this is all the motivation I need to continue. Thank you

[@Duhify_V2]

What kind of blog?

[@elizabethacosta]

Love your videos, thank you for all the tips and advice. I've been food blogging for 1 month and I've made my first nickel 😂 I'm extremely grateful and proud of that haha and it's all from taking your advice ♥

[@briannehuntsman9215]

Def take note of the day you made a nickel! In future years, you’ll love looking back and comparing

[@KeturahinWonderland]

Where are you at now?

[@Harddaysnight01]

How're you doing now? 😊

[@courtneylowe4535]

I would love to see a video on what kind of expenses you pay for a blog of this size. I’m an accountant so I know there’s gotta be a bit of a difference between revenue and profit lol.

[@briannehuntsman9215]

Yes! From watching her other videos, she shared that she pays herself a portion with almost all of the profit being reinvested (ex: House Go Big or Go Home)

[@DebraJohnson]

Good point.

[@kejucrochetdesign]

This video is so motivating..Thank you so much....you gave me power to work consistently...I started blogging last month....and hope it will blow up and be my full time job😊

[@hairsthescoop6513]

I loved the course, it was really helpful. I just wish you were more present in the fb group to answer questions that come up :/

[@perfectingblogging]

Ugh I know!!! I am struggling so much right now with where my attention needs to go with everything we're doing 🥴 need to figure out my schedule where I make it a priority...but totally agree!!! Love how helpful everyone is in the group tho but yeah I need to do at least daily appearances

[@hairsthescoop6513]

@@perfectingblogging Yes, I can only imagine how busy you are! A suggestion you might want to consider is to hold a zoom meeting at least once a month that invites only members who have purchased your course. This way we can ask you questions personally, you can dive into our sites as well to give some feedback if need be/if time permits, we can connect with everyone in the course as well and get our questions answered by someone else experiences. This might be a better option as opposed to trying to respond to every single comment in the fb group and people still feeling overlooked. The fb group is great and people do chime in to help, but speaking for myself … I’d much rather have specific advice from the person that successfully made it a full time business ❤️💕.

Hi Sophia! I love your channel & and this might be one of my favorite videos! I know that you mentioned you were hesitant to share your income reports now that you have a team and with the variety of income streams. However, I too would love to hear more about your income streams and see how your are diversifying your business. And also it’s cool to see the possibilities of where you can take and scale your blog / business. And also to see what you hired for in your business to help you scale even more. The thing I admire most about you is that you have treated it like a business since day one! Thanks for being open and sharing all of your insights.

[@yawdfulpost1201]

[@le_gipset]

Thanks for this, Sophia! I have a question. If I have a travel blog, and I'm a contributor to multiple DA90+ publications, what's the best way for me not to waste all the blogs that I write for other publications, but obviously not repost the blogs that I wrote for another publication? Do I need to just go in there and rewrite all of them? If so, how do I know when I've rewritten it enough to not get penalized for duped content? What do writers do for this? Thanks!

[@GloriaSongoi]

Hello Sophia, I don't know how to create a blog website much less anything about blogging. Kindly guide me

[@abnormalways]

I have so many q’s was hoping would be answered maybe u can put them in your next qna. Between Aug2017 and your viral post how much were you posting and did you do anything extra to get traffic? HOW was the first $600 made? Affils, ads?? How many posts were u making on average? And were they ALL seo-based? Were u doing pintrist from the start?

[@VioletEmerald]

Yeah I was wondering this too. This video answers like no questions. How in the world does one start to make money via blogging. If you post a blog and don't do something to make it make money and really monetize it it's just free content out there; so...

[@abnormalways]

@@VioletEmerald Since i first posted this i did learn more about it, for Sophia Lee specifically, (she can correct me if this is a little off..) but she first got into an ad network, to do this you have to get ~10k monthly views average, a lot of up front work. but she did hit a niche at a good time when that style was most popular, and did SEO to the utmost to drive organic traffic. i believe pintrist was the only social media she did, which is the best possible way to beef up the SEO, (maybe not from the very start,?) but contributing to achieving the 10k monthlyviews. at some point i believe slightly AFTER beginning to make small amounts from adsense, she started offering free printables/building an email list, and from there offering small digital products (printables). after already having that size, pricing the printables even at 99 cents or so is still profitable. then scaled all that and included affiliate links mostly amazon to where she is now. me personally followed her "perfecting blogging" course .. i took a break, all things considered, i have about 3-4 months of "consistency" under my belt and I now get 100-500 monthly views, I didnt post anything or do anything at all to my site since like April (im getting back soon!) but for august i did get ~170 views, most from organic SEO but also some just from having my links on socials and using them as a regular person (mainly twitter..). whee hope that helps, was good for me to write out as a review too. i do think the course is worth it.. i'll be back on the protocols soon, just had some life stuff.

[@thechrisverhoeven]

What do you mean? Not show her pinterest strategy? Did I read that correctly? Because I'm about to buy her Pinterest course by the end of this month, but if she's not sharing her own strategies, then what's the point? Also, your comment is 6 months old... is the course still relevant? Because I know Pinterest changes its algorithm quite often nowadays.

[@bonnyverduzco3310]

Do you have a video on how to get into ad agencies?

[@aniyaselsewhere1367]

I do not recommend her courses . Everything in her courses can be found in these videos. The courses provide a bunch of fluff . If you do decide to buy a course do the Pinterest One because everything in the blogging one can be found there (and on here for free). Also, she contradicts herself so many times in the course. The courses will over all leaving you feeling like she’s trying to sabotage you then help you. Do not waste your money for something she’s giving away for free just to have to research it yourself,

[@HeyyyHR]

I learned a lot in the course that she never talks about on her channel. Many the details to SEO. I feel like she can stop saying “use common sense” in those videos but then again, she’s young & has no teaching background. I’m happy I spent the money on her course. My page views climbed in 2-3 months without using Pinterest 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@bekblaku1364]

I disagree. I bought her course and it has so much more detailed content: blog post structure, SEO research, types of blog posts, and more.
