The Harsh Truths About Blogging // BLOGGING TIPS FROM A 6-FIGURE BLOGGING // By Sophia Lee

[@randallrg75g2]

Ok it's like going to the gym! You really gonna see big muscle gains at the end of the year ! I understand, I'm used to it.

[@BlaQFireNation]

you should def make a video on the future of blogging! i’m looking forward to it

[@gisellewilson4482]

I agree!

[@alisonm.cameron]

I am watching this as I try and open my eyes from 14 hours of work on the new e commerce side of my blog! Time, time, time. If you don't have it make it!

[@GirlwithDrive]

Your Perfecting Blogging course is the best course I’ve ever taken. I finished last week. It’s a wealth of great information.

[@BlaQFireNation]

i’m actually in a really good position for blogging. i can do it full time(kind of), i’m already bringing in money in other ways,(already have an online course & making sales), i’m ready to take a course to learn more. (i’m going to sign up for your bundle course). and yes plug your own course! it’s ok!

[@maribeljraige9860]

Thank you for the video. It's helped me realize that even though i want to, i don't think ill be good enough to blog. Gotta find something else now.

[@favourebede6334]

Consistency that's the main thing 💯1

[@from1girlto1world]

Love this Sophia! You are one of the bloggers I really look up to even if you're not in the same niche as me at all and that's because your consistency and hard work really show and it's inspiring and motivating to those who are still trying to get there full-time. There are no other gurus to look up to in blogging than the ones who have found great success in it. I started getting paid to blog towards the end of 2020 and it has been such a unique (part-time) job. There really is a future behind blogging!

[@glorias.2930]

This is such a great video!!! I appreciate your honesty so much. Will check out your course!

[@MoTeicho]

Thank you so much for all the info & help!

[@tesiola]

LOVE the "feeling embarrassing" point....definitely feel the same lol

[@dancerdancer313]

I'm only at 1:09 into your video, and I can tell you, as someone who busted their ass on a blog that never took off (I did over 100 blogs...): Blogging IS NOT EASY. It's A LOT of work, all the time. I got burnt out and quit many times. When I first heard about blogging, ppl made it out to be "an easy side hustle if you like to write.....". Well.... blogging isn't about writing, it's about SEO!! A blog isn't a high school essay. If nobody can find your blog via SEO, you could be Shakespeare and nobody will see it and you def won't make money (if you wanted to monetize your blog). My blogging failure totally changed my view on blogging. If you decide to start a blog, just know that you are automatically signing up to learn not only SEO, but the actual science and structure behind writing blog posts. Blogging isn't normal writing. Not by a long shot.

So how do you learn the SEO part? I love to write but now I'm scared lol

[@dancerdancer313]

@ You literally have to Google it, read about it, watch current KZbin vids about it, etc, because SEO is always changing.

[@danettegralewski5308]

What’s your high sign to know when algorithms change and what’s your process to learning what the change is?

[@EmiliaOHara]

Just found you today and really enjoy your content. Thank you.

[@cravingminds8434]

I just simply love your genuine personality. Great content.

[@kristinakayla]

Love your blogging videos

[@vixenbeauty2991]

I am obsessed with you lol taking your courses this weekend so excited. I would love a video on how blogging is the future.

[@byheatherroy3546]

I purchased her course. Both of them. They are amazing.

[@perfectingblogging]

SO glad you like them 🥰🥰

[@byheatherroy3546]

LOVE them. 😊@@perfectingblogging

[@Vogel_laura]

I have learned so much from you and it's only the beginning! I am taking your Perfecting Pinterest course right now and am loving it. Thank you for sharing so much of your insight with all of us!

[@shuhuimok3814]

Thanks for this video ! The harsh truths you share are such great reminders and wake up calls.

[@valeriacook372]

Please share more videos about blogging. I have watch your courses like 10 times already and all your videos. I just need you so much haha! Please share how you organize now your business in clickup or planners etc

[@briannehuntsman9215]

Def recommend getting her courses! Worth every penny!

[@BlaQFireNation]

@@briannehuntsman9215 how long ago did you take it?

[@briannehuntsman9215]

@@BlaQFireNation so I’ve written a few blog posts about the courses. I took the course in January, and I overhauled a lot of my blog content. I’ve been blogging since 2017, but could not get above 12K ish users a month. Then in June, traffic started steadily climbing. I hit 45K users this month. SO, for folks just starting out - you’re going to have a lot of work to do. That said, I wish I had had her courses when I started blogging in late 2016 // early 2017.

[@spiritualmeditation2024]

You always my favorite lee

[@vanessavega7080]

I don't know if anyone else from the 9-5 tribe has divulged this teeny little secret but... you NEVER leave at 5 and not take work home with you, hahaha! If it isn't stress from difficult bosses/coworkers, it's work related stress. So yeah... you've made a lot of right choices!

[@josephsiaw1]

Thanks very much for sharing these hard truths. Any real business really takes time and you need to invest money in order to be successful. My advice to people is that: don't look for cheap ways to make money. Because, soon, others will discover those ways tool. Try to become a specialist or skillful in hot cake businesses, and you will be successful.

[@markshina3511]

Stunning video

[@kaylagraham8225]

10:10 skipped over what you use for pictures and that’s the main thing I want to know more about 🤣 Like what pictures can I put on my blog without taking my own

[@thestreamroomnetwork]

Sophia's course is amazing!

[@joannhoward790]

Axter watching this video & reading some of the comments, I'm a little bit scared of trying now, bcuz I don't want to fail or start & stop either... Not sure what to do now?? Great video though Sophia as they all have been so far...🤗

[@theTeslaFalcon]

"I knew the future of blogging..." How? I heard of blogging in 1997 & wrote blogging software in VB5 for the network admins in 1998. I wrote a CMS for a customer using ASP in 1999. What opened your eye to the future of blogging?

[@TheButlerFam]

Always love your videos and tips, Sophia! You've been so helpful and motivating for me starting my blog. Can't wait to use your courses!

[@briannehuntsman9215]

They are so worth it!!

[@KENTUCKY-MAMA]

Sophia such a Gr8 name. I'm the same about change, Not a fan. Watching U gives me inspiration that some day I will be able to do as U do with a blog.

[@elamaakvanttikentalla]

Thanks Sophia!

[@agoodwifeofficial]

Definitely going to take your Pinterest course, your videos are very helpful! Thanks girl❤️☺️

[@terridelawson3405]

I need to do that too-just started blogging this month!

[@ethioittutorial6005]

Tnx for the info

[@girlappetit1003]

Would you ever create a course JUST on SEO and keyword research? I just can't wrap my head around it and it's so frustrating.

[@savvyfeminist4700]

I feel like this topic is the heart of SEO. Look into Stupid Simple SEO

[@mzilg]

I liked this video just because I liked your outfit. 😂👍

[@yourfriendlydesigner]

Hey Sophie, thanks for this video, always appreciate your take on blogging! Where should we look for updates in the courses?

[@perfectingblogging]

In the next two weeks! I'll send a big long email out going over everything!

[@enchantedfibers]

Your videos are very informative and entertaining.. Thank You. I really admire your intros where you have the darkish block come on with the title.. I have in my mind the idea of creating a blog, but my niche is smaller than knitting and crocheting... in my mind, there isn't alot of information to blog about.. need to get it out of my mind and on to paper to try and formulate a strategy... thanks again for all of your valuable time and insights.. What do you think about Thrive Architect for page building ???

[@jennyeduardo7914]

Thank you for this , super helpful!

[@OliviaLanae]

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the future of blogging! 😊

[@bageerasf]

Same! xxx

[@BlaQFireNation]

[@sustainlifejournalyoga]

Your videos are always so helpful! This is a random question but I'm curious what your horoscope sign is? I'm assuming you're a Virgo lol Super hard working and detail orientated! Also, I LOVE the idea of you doing a video about your thoughts on the future of blogging and marketing. I think that would be really interesting. Thanks again for putting all this info out there!

[@BlaQFireNation]

i’m a virgo rising & im totally like this. also horribly analytical, i. an spend hours looking at analytics instead of applying what i learned in the analytics. #virgoissues lol

[@sustainlifejournalyoga]

@@BlaQFireNation Haha I can relate! I am a virgo too.

[@BlaQFireNation]

I just ordered the course and read one of her blogs about blocking out time. and I am like if this lady doesn't have strong virgo placements in her chart than I am insane. she even named her course PERFECTING blogging lol! Ok I'm done trying to figure out her birth chart for now LOL!!

[@BlaQFireNation]

@@onesnature9332 how about that LOL

[@sustainlifejournalyoga]

@@BlaQFireNation haha definitely! Good luck on the course. It looks helpful! I've been thinking about getting it too.

[@melvinzhou7710]

Hi Sophia: I’ve been watching all of your videos recently and have found them very helpful. I saw in a previous video that you are reading comments that suggest video topics to cover. I was wondering if we could learn more about hiring employees for the business? (If I were to start a blog and in the future outsource parts of it to others, how does it all work?)

[@briannehuntsman9215]

Love your courses!!

[@perfectingblogging]

you are the best Brianne!

[@byheatherroy3546]

Me too!

[@BellaAllison]

(I know you don’t really mean it but…) No! please don’t ever say (not even kidding) you’d wish to be at a 9 to 5… I work a 7 to 6 (which is way worse than a 9 to 5) and I still take work home with me and I’m not even working for myself 😭 so yeah, I bet having a blog is a LOT of work but at least you have the satisfaction you’re doing it for you and no one else ❤ (I’m starting mine right now after getting inspired by you, thank you!)

[@cozyshiro]

I have legit been working on my blog non stop for like over a year, and I'm stll not earning anything not even $5 from it :/ I rank on the first page for a lot of posts that I've written and nothing. Nada. :/

[@islariley8928]

Did you ever do a business plan for your blog? Is it a waste of time?

[@briannehuntsman9215]

Her blogging course helped me grow my traffic by 4X // reach almost $4K a month in revenue. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

[@thehandmademastermind]

Is any of that 4k from adsense or mediavine ?

That’s amazing!

Bluehost

[@briannehuntsman9215]

She shares a review on her course! She moved from BlueHost bc she has too much traffic for them

[@perfectingblogging]

yes! I started with Bluehost and moved to Big Scoots once I started getting more traffic. Bluehost was the BEST though when I was first starting
