I am in the email marketing phase but haven't quite figured out what I should offer as a freebie😊

[@Juscallmenicki]

I just started last month

[@shedreamsallday]

Ooooh! So exciting!! Are you on my email list? 🤭💌 I have something pretty cool dropping next week in this exact department!!

[@shedreamsallday]

Woohoo!! So exciting!

[@alexiselcox6965]

[@ruthdawson6521]

Hey Mia! I've been taking your courses and I've just made my first $0.76 from my blog! Haha I now know it's possible to make money and I feel more motivated to keep going :)

[@shedreamsallday]

OMG!!! RUTH! Well somebody bring out the bubbles and confetti! Woohoo!! Congrats! This is just the beginning! 🥰 If you can make 70 cents, you can make 70000000 cents ;)

[@Brrrrbrrrr11]

Congrats

[@Wisesthustler]

Congratulations!!!

[@coulsonjackson]

Wow!! How long have you had your blog and how did you make the 76 cents?

[@nikwoodson6214]

You go girl!

[@maddierussell9920]

Hi Mia, I really want to start a blog but feel most of the niches I'm passionate about are over saturated. I have experience in health specifically strength training, personal finance tips for woman in their 20s, traveling on a budget, and maintaining health romantic relationships. To avoid the "lifestyle blog" no no you mentioned, I was thinking of developing a blog that is generally about how 20-something women can "level up" their lives and build the future of their dreams. This would give me the freedom to write about my aforementioned passions, and perhaps test out different types of content before niching down further. Is this a good strategy or do I need to niche down before starting the blog? Thanks!

[@anncan228]

I started a blog, "heard crickets," shut it down, and now I want to start a new one. Thanks for the tips!😊

[@shedreamsallday]

Go for it!! 🥰 Don't let those crickets hold you back!! 🦗

[@raineysalagado762]

What is your thought about using squarespace? Also, my niche is mama wellness and beauty. Do you think that’s okay to put those two together?

[@theaspiringcmo]

great tips! but I wonder how you overcome Google updates recently? Or does your primary traffic come from mainly social media and youtube? I'm involved in SEO and many sites are getting hit by Google updates left and right

[@ofirshorshy8281]

How do I choose my niche? I am a scientist and I find it really hard to find all the statistic analysis in one place and I think about making a blog about statistic for academia but the practicle easy to follow way (unlike academic teachers) so this is one niche I desire to do, and the other one is knitting. I love to knit I want to create content in knitting and sell my products I am just starting to make.. maybe I can do both? my husband is passionate about philosophy and he would write for sure about his philosophy and explain all the super fundamental concept for life in easy to understand way for common people and exceptional people. so for him it is easy. what should I do ? knitting or statistic analysis. There must be a lot of content in both. I have been working in statistics lately and I think I know sadly more then my Master's teacher to statistics because I learn from the interent!

[@erickadates9535]

Where would I find the link to all of your courses? I would love to read everything!

[@mr.guardianangel]

very engaging content...you are doing good..wish you more success

[@shedreamsallday]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@lauriemcgonigle8319]

Hey Mia I have been watching your content and really eager to start my blog.

[@ShondaD_]

I know many bloggers tell the newbies to start their blog on Wordpress, but what are your thoughts on starting on medium just to start somewhere that has eyeballs already on a platform?

[@tightenupwithTiff]

Great tips, ty!!

[@mirazhran77]

show as how to create blog and what technology you use to start blog

[@BloggingFromParadise]

Keep up the great blogging work. 👍

[@livasocqu]

The hardest part is picking a niche omg

[@blogforbusinesses-js3qy]

very well presented

[@shedreamsallday]

Glad you liked it 🥰

[@sarahabduallah7545]

Yes please we want that video ❤

[@shedreamsallday]

Okay dokay! Adding it to the list! 🤓

[@jannicholasmauleon387]

Website optimization is so hard... I'm still figuring it out

[@shedreamsallday]

It's a pickle alright!!

[@UnderstandingDementiaCare]

❤super helpful thank you so much

[@shedreamsallday]

Glad it helped! 🥰

[@Juscallmenicki]

Do you have a video on feature image sizing? I’m noticing when I upload a featured image, sometimes half of it is cut off on my website.

[@shedreamsallday]

Hello lovely! I don't actually but the size for WordPress is 1200 x 628 pixels. Make sure you resize and compress before uploading so it doesn't slow down your site! 💖

[@Juscallmenicki]

@@shedreamsallday ok got it! Thank you so much. Any tools that you recommend for compressing photos? Is Canva ok?

[@shedreamsallday]

I use tinyjpg.com to compress and iloveimg.com to resize! 😍

[@GitteRobertson]

thanks

[@uzmamumtaz5231]

Make a full video on SEO please

[@shedreamsallday]

Okay dokay! 🤓

[@msme5682]

@miabrox does your course cover all of this stuff step by step?

[@shedreamsallday]

@@msme5682 Yes Dreamer To Blogger covers all things blogging + growing a blog, but Her Quiet Influence doubles down on content and audience building (can be applied to all content platforms including blogging) and is more updated for 2023. 💖

[@gimmecookies7204]

Sorry the bellyflop edit at like 20s in I can’t 😂😂😂

[@shedreamsallday]

😂😂😂

[@Fabb_tech]

Thanks very informative

[@shedreamsallday]

You are so welcome! 👋

[@MichaelWilliams-lo3ix]

Awesome

[@GinaLay]

And then an email list. Can you develop an email list inside a blog or is that a whole separate platform? Lol

[@shedreamsallday]

Hey Gina!! 💖 So some website platforms (such as Kajabi and Kartra) offer email marketing in their packages, but not with WordPress. ConvertKit is what I recommend (and what I use alongside my WordPress blog). Are you on my email list? If so, I have something cool happening next week that might interest ya! 🤭

[@GinaLay]

Hi Mia, I sure am on your email list.❤ I absolutely love your videos. I started a blog a long time ago with absolutely no clue of anything. Your teaching style is right up my alley. Now I am torn on a new YT channel or starting a blog.

[@shedreamsallday]

Aw yay! This makes me so so happy! Why not start both (if you have the time)? 😍 Embedding videos into your blog posts is amazing for SEO! And you can repurpose the script into a blog post!

[@bybisht]

@@@hello

[@katejacobsen1330]

If you don’t recommend starting a lifestyle blog in 2023, what type of blogs do you recommend? Thanks!
