Thanks you are a life saver 👍

Would you kindly tell what percentage makes 10000$ a month keeping lie aside

[@creationmania1]

yes i want to starta book blog

[@ywhitejohn]

I started blogging in October2023 took a course that I probably paid too much money for but I did learn to set everything up, pick a niche and do SEO research. But all of the tools Ahrefs etc. can be expensive not to mention all the SEO ranking and keyword optimization etc. can definitely take the fun out of writing. I still want my blog to be successful, but I realize it will not happen as quickly as that course promised. I'm still committed because I love writing and eventually I would like to add a KZbin channel as well. So happy that I found your channel to support me in my journey!!! Love how detailed your content is especially for us newbies 🙂

[@StitchObsessed]

I used to use Ahrefs also, but $100 a month was too much. I switched over to KeySearch and that only costs $17 a month. It’s not “fancy” looking as Ahrefs, but it has all the same info I was using at a fraction of the price. Good luck with your blog! It’s a slow moving machine, but once it starts growing, all the work will be worth it! 👏🏻💖

[@ginaluv7228]

That’s awesome and good luck on your journey.

[@blogforbusinesses-js3qy]

yes some tools are expensive, the best way is to start slowly with mostly free tools

[@SportsCorner921]

true i also started in october 2023 but it seems blogging needs years to be successful.

Great content Katie! Love your honesty! To the person reading this: keep in mind that if you really wanna be successful, you'll have to put in the effort and it won't happen overnight... YOU CAN DO THIS! I BELIEVE IN YOU!

[@nasharroyo2312]

you are literally so sweet. I have been working on my blog since May of this year. have had a lot of ups and down with redesigning and rebranding, etc. but your affirmations throughout the video really really helped me feel less overwhelmed. thank you!

[@HulaShack1]

Your comment shows you posted it 4 months ago and you said " I have been working on my blog since may of this year......it is May 5th now??? So how have you been working on it from 4 months ago???

[@user-bg9em7ch6k]

⁠@@HulaShack1 on November 25, 2024 it shows this person’s comment was posted 11 months ago… so in late January or early February. Not sure why it said something else when you looked, but the person does not appear to have done anything shady!

[@wellnesswellth]

Love this Katie! So much value. Just started my journey

[@GlobalExplorationzz]

Thank you for sharing this information. I am new to having a KZbin Channel and becoming a Blogger. My channel is a travel channel and I launched it about two months ago and I am having a blast doing it. I only have about 20 followers 😄 but I don't expect anything to go quickly with any of this and that's fine. It is something I have always wanted to do and am finally doing now. I just made my new Instagram page and within the next week or so, I will finally start building my travel log. I have time to do these things now since I am now a disabled Veteran and am retired from working. So, my current status has now given me a lead-way to finally work on my travel channel etc..... I worked at a local radio station years ago and editing my own channel, reminds me of some of the work I did at the radio station. Anyway, thank you so much for this information. 🙂

[@marcsolomon3082]

for a true beginner such as myself, I think this is terrific

Thanks Toni!

[@tjgeorgia8808]

The key - start 10 years ago. New blogs following generic advice will never be seen by Google's current algorithms. First AI answers, the ads, then Q&A, then the major authority big companies, then sponsored sites, then WAY down the page - new personal blogs. If you are not already ranked from having started years ago when it was possible, it's nearly impossible now.

[@Lyn-q8v]

I feel that way too! Just like KZbin, it's so saturated and there is really no point in even trying

[@shellyc5714]

Thank you for this valuable content. I feel that I can do this.

[@stephr7486]

Do you recommend using tailwind or the Pinterest scheduler for Pins?

[@TomHerwood]

Hi Katie, one thing i noticed visiting other blogging sites. The ads are dropping in from everywhere. Can this be controlled to have fixed ads on the page and not pop ads happening every second. Just curious on this. Love you podcasts. Thank you

[@EdutainmentMatrix]

Pinterest will not help you in terms of traffic if your "niche" is about any subject matter where the average female is not interested . for example pc hardware will not work on Pinterest simply because the majority of the users are in fact females. on the other hand if your blog is about fashion or beauty or how to stay in shape, Pinterest will help you regarding traffic if you create the "correct" pins.

[@kimora69]

u know there's a word called woman

[@EdutainmentMatrix]

@@kimora69 what about it?

[@MortonMcCastle]

​@@kimora69 "What is a woman?"

[@kerim.peardon5551]

But pics hosted on Pintrest get picked up by search engines. I've looked for prepper stuff before and clicked on a pic and ended up on a Pinterest pin. If it takes me to a blog on how to make a rainwater catchment system, that's fine with me.

Thanks for all the advice with your vdieos. Been really working on trying to pin regularly for my recipe and resource posts. Do you have on on how to add google ads to your blog?

[@KatieGrazer]

Hey Annie, that sounds great - keep up the good work on Pinterest. So, I'm not really the Google ads expert but I would start with creating your adsense acocunt and then you can either let google add ads automatically or at specific locations. Hope this helps a little.

[@PlasticFreeAnnie]

@@KatieGrazer thanks. I've tried to add automatically but it then can't find the code. I'll keep trying.

[@Brittanyem]

Did you quit your 9-5 before or after offering courses? I'm just curious if this is feasible by way of blogging alone. Thanks!

[@KatieGrazer]

I quit after also offer digital products like downloads but not necessary courses. So income would come from ads, affiliate and digital downloads. But it really depends on the niche - for me since I'm in a tech niche it's harder to get enough traffic to make enough with ads alone but for example if you are into DIY, home decor, food, fashion people are making a fulltime income with ads + affiliate income alone. Hope that helps.

[@Brittanyem]

@KatieGrazer I’ve been debating how I should allocate my time in the coming year so this is very helpful, thank you!

[@healthymeaningfullife2738]

Great video! Thank you so much! I want to start blogging. I already have a wix website, can I use that for blogging? Thank you for any advise on this. Appreciate it.

[@clarebrody1]

Wix I found very slow. I would stick with wordpress because it's cheap. Plus the blogging function on WordPress is better than any other platform. You can actually search your posts.

[@anthonydonatelli5906]

Not everyone's passion is related to that high traffic niche. Many do it just because "Health, Money , Pets, fashion & beauty and lifestyle" are the most popular. What if someone feels passionate for "Weather" "Music" or "SciFi stuff"??

[@lennifergi8599]

In this video title we see $10k a month but in the first two minutes she claims to make FIVE figures a year. $10k a month is OVER 5 figures a year. Soooooo does it cost over $21,000 a year to run a blog? Seriously asking. Does it?

[@Mastiff2]

Hi, I have a question. I have been starting my own Pinterest Account because of your videos. I started with Pinterest about 6 months ago. After 3 weeks i had 600k impressions and it was going great. Two weeks later, i went back down to 30k impressions. About 2 months after that i had another spike to 500k and now its down to less than 20k impressions. Why is that a thing? I post 5x a day, everyday. I tried lots of different things, but non of it is really working. Im in the fitness niche and my pins are good (in my opinion). I also look at trends, keywords, etc.. What can help me? I dont know, if my account is flagged or anything. Any tipps? I would really appreciate a respons!

Hey Great content With regarding to affiliate marketing whrer you promote other people's products for a fee, does it means that for me to promote bluehost as affiliate program my content on my blog should be about hosting? If i have finance blog can i still become an affiliate for bluehost that deals with hosting?

[@Dc343jfu4]

Can you still get traffic with AI written blogs ?

[@spirituallysafe]

Why be lazy?

[@Dc343jfu4]

Sure some probably choose to use AI out of laziness, others whose time is more valuable than writing blogs would use AI purely from a time standpoint. Who not how, highly recommend it.
