Sophia I appreciate you. I been tuning in for about three years. I love your advice. I like your email course that I took earlier this year. Could you do a video dedicated to Pinterest? It could be for beginners. Also could you do a video on any second year information and what you would change in your second year? I know you been blogging for years and you are an inspiration.

My trouble has been picking a niche and sticking with it. I have a few different passions or things I want to get into that I am not sure would actually make a good blog. I know it’s not all about the money at the beginning but I know there are things that are easier to break into or things that people respond better to vs something that maybe hasn’t been done before. Or if it isn’t a saturated market maybe it will take off because someone else is curious too? I just keep flip flopping and never know how to commit and make the leap.

General blogs work too instead of writing a blog around different topics each day u can use a month to focus on art, second month lifestyle etc. It would still work u don't have to niche down. I tried to niche down but after a while I got bored staying in 1 place and now I have multiple blogs revolving multiple niches that I can't even manage when I could have just had everything in one place.

OK Sophia. I've been watching your videos as I'm a brand new blogger with one blog posted. I tried to do a good job but didn't worry too much since you said no one would see it. There were 22 views! I can account for 4 or 5 views but I have no idea how anyone else found it. It's kind of cool but I was hoping to remain unnoticed until I knew a bit more about what I'm doing. But I'm still having fun and learning from you.❤

Such a good video!! I also started blogging in my sophomore year of college, buuuutttt I tried to do everything at once and gave up out of frustration and lack of instant success. I think if I had seen someone break things down year by year (rather than foolishly assuming I would be successful after 3 months) then I might have stuck with it!

I have to work a job to pay bills and I am the only one to do so. I write, do art, graphic design, photography, and even dabble in Mime. I always dreamed of being hired by another entrepreneur like yourself to build an empire of my creativity. Just so I can have full time devoted to my craft. I have great buisness ideas and Im sticking to it regardless if I have help or not. I love creative people. Its truly a selfless artform. Kuddos to what you do and congratulations on the success!

Do you think if you started a new vlog today, from scratch, all of the things you did 5 years ago would still apply? Im wondering if your audience is loyal, locked in, so I could see how you would still get views/visits and stay at the “top” of google. Plus, with all of the years you’ve been online and the amount of traffic you’ve gotten over time, you’d have a much better page rank, which means your blog can be in “cruise control”. And someone starting today would be at the bottom of the “pile”, thus growing really slowly or not at all…
