How to Start a Blog in 2024 | By Sophia Lee

[@MicaelaSkyy]

I've been watching your videos for years and I'm finally taking the leap of faith and starting my blog this year. Thanks for being consistent and giving good advice.

[@CinnamonBrownn]

Just started yesterday! I’m down to connect and grow with you :)

[@suzieb6454]

Thinking of starting, curious to know how your blogs are going

[@KeeganStephen0914]

Also curious. I’m looking to start a blog that targets younger men who are becoming husbands and fathers. Any helpful tips would be much appreciated!

[@kennethiavail1719]

Me too

[@kennethiavail1719]

@@CinnamonBrownnomg what’s the name of your blog!? I’ll love to give you a page viewer lol if that’s the right term

[@kori_88]

Single mom and craving freedom, in ever sense of the word. I cannot wait to start. My son deserves the best (and me) ❤

[@somberspacegaming]

Rooting for you both, love from Nigeria ❤

[@VanessaDegarmo]

This is the same for me, but for my daughter and husband! Can't wait to start!

[@theresoundingglory]

Yes mommy too! You can do it! Stay consistent you got this!

Subbed! Freedom is a great way to describe the YT journey. Proud parent as well. It's been challenging, but really getting traction after tons of dedication and persistence.

[@Andeeonthego-101]

New to Blogging after years of wanting to. It’s been mind blowing the community of people like you who are sharing their knowledge and years of experience 🖤

[@laptoperofficial]

I m running 10 blogs if u need help I can.

[@studioacrilythinc.4041]

I'm really grateful for great content like this. This was so helpful! Like, more helpful than socks on a cold floor first thing in the morning. This explains why my brain is now full and my feet are cold.

[@jenw1116]

I love this one! And I love how consistent you are with your tips. Thank you for filming every year ❤

[@Animeshparab]

And if you notice, all videos are the same lol 😂

[@MarshaLiles]

Thus is a great video, but I am a writer who wanted details on HOW to START a blog. There is mention of WordPress, but I'm not sure how that plays into creating a blog from scratch. Sophia Lee is amazing and successful, and I will return to her once I learn how to get my words into blog form.

[@peterpaulharnisch]

Sophia, you’re a God-send! Thank you so much!!! I so admire your clarity! I’ve been thinking about blogging for years, and now I’m going to do it! Hugs and blessings, Peter

[@laptoperofficial]

I can help you, want work with me?

[@MeganHess-w4k]

Do you create your own image assets? How do you avoid copywriting issues when using images off the web?

[@andreaswilcox9158]

Today is my birthday. What a wonderful birthday present lol

[@nikolev3173]

Happy Birthday!

I just bought hosting, was about to start my blog. I started feeling SUPER discouraged after the most recent Google HCU. But your video is a sign for me not to quit!

[@Sohailkhan_169]

I need your help about blogging

[@maplesap]

Why does the helpful content update pose a threat to you? Curious.

[@Morrocanprincess]

​@@maplesap It's the way Google wants bloggers to write soooo much content when most web visitors only skim a blog post. Google is also training Ai (via Bard) to quickly summarize/answer most people's questions faster. It's as if they want creator to pump out lengthy articles so they can train their Ai (indirectly stealing blogger content ) to replace bloggers!!

Loved you presentation: natural and to the point; thank you sister;

[@realtalktina]

I would love to have a successful blog like this! It is a dream. I've been trying for a while I have Pinterest, WordPress, and Amazon influencer, and I have begun affiliate marketing. but still hoping for success and to get enough views to get into an ad agency. I hope I get there soon, especially in 2024. Thanks for the tips!

[@Krystal_Kitty7]

I'm going to start this upcoming year, how has it been going for you with Amazon Affiliates?

[@raising_arrows_mama]

Working the best I can with 0 funds to start, your videos are always so helpful!

[@connerleverson2748]

I had a blog in the past. I love the creative side of it and blogging about things I’m already doing in my life. Although, I had a technical issue, spent quite a bit of money on it, and was never able to recover it. Now, I am a little intimidated to start again. Although, I feel like it’s my passion, but the technical side of upkeeping it scares me. Any advice for this? Thanks! 😊

[@ivirlei]

unrelated but where did you get this sweater??I love it

Excellent video, succinct, precise, comprehensive and well sequenced. Thanks! I'm going to give this blogging thing a serious try.

[@carrieooos]

Do you think blogging is a good move for people who currently have strong social media but don't know where to take it next? In your opinion, is it worth trying or do you need to be 100% in from the jump?

[@bulloverbears]

My exact question

[@sophieram575]

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. I’m thinking about starting a blog so I’m going to go check out your course. Thanks again!! ❤

[@nubi688]

Hi Sophia, Thank you for this AMAZING INFORMATIONAL VIDEO! You REALLY did an AMAZING job explaining everything step by step and giving examples to help us have a clear understanding.

[@AA-ph9uz]

Hello thank you for such an informative video! You are amazing for sharing your insight and journey with us and all for free! I do have one question for my own blog. What are your thoughts on switching my domain host to one of your recommended if i am using a platform like Wix, to design the blog? Would that help in avoiding all the warnings you mentioned?

[@staceyhollier2412]

Awesome info! This really helps me to better categorize and prioritize the things I have already put in place! This makes so much sense 🎉😊

[@mikelig8365]

Thank you for this video, I learned a lot. As a radio journalist wanting to start a blog may I suggest that you get a good microphone and learn how to use it so your voice doesn't have so much room noise in it? Your videos will come across as far more professional. Thanks again.

[@AmandaGreen-oc7me]

These tips were so helpful! Quick question, for blogs where you want to include images of products that you want to discuss, are there copyright rules for using those photos as part of a pin or a picture on the blog?

No one is considered about AI lol. Which is why no one is talking about it. Doesn’t matter if you’re an assistant, note taker, blogger, photographer, whatever. People who are great at what they do are secure in their abilities.

​@@EL_PLAGAI love your reply!

[@connyh6438]

I think Google will punish AI content a lot. .

Times are so different. What if you started from scratch (no audience, no social media following? Do you talk about people who signed up for your courses and Facebook group? Would love to see how they're doing starting from scratch.

Do you recommend a separate pinterest account for your blog or convert your personal to a business pinterest account?

[@deborahfitzpatrick1985]

Was your sites hit by the helpful content update ?

[@hillam3908]

Content is really important. The more you post the more you get recognised just like here on KZbin. If you perhaps require an experienced writer, i'd be glad to offer my services.

[@Bkzzlovely21]

I would add that be careful of malware on your blog and ensure you have a malware detecting plugin. I got all my views taken away from me with a Japanese Keyword Malware attack on my website. So super important to protect it! It took me 5 months to recover and now climbing back up but still 10k short of what I was before.

[@AmandaGreen-oc7me]

Do you have recommendations for Facebook groups for bloggers?

[@SomeLikeItGoth]

I have a question that I cannot find an answer to anywhere. When you’re starting a blog and talking about companies or clothing finds, how do you write about the content and show photos of items without running into copyright issues? Especially if you can’t afford to purchase the items and intend to start making money off your blog site which then cancels out the possibility of “fair use”? (I wrote this question on an older video so forgive me for asking twice)

It can, with the right marketing. That's why we created Inksprout. We create short social media videos that have boosted user traffic for over 13,000 smaller bloggers. More viewers means more profit. Let me know if you want a demo!
