    Thanks Nikki for your helpful advice. I've been food and travel vlogging since April 2018 and I only have 14 subscribers. Is that a huge problem? What am I doing wrong? I am having a blast and I know I have to be patient. When did you start attracting sponsors, when you already had a lot of followers or before?

    • @the_coreyjohnson
      @the_coreyjohnson Před 4 lety

      Katherina Leird she is talking about starting s travel blog. That would be written. CZcams and Instagram act as support and drive traffic to your blog, but Wordpress would be where your written Blog lives. If you are doing video only, that would be a Vlog.
