  • I've been blogging for over nine years! Now it's my full-time job, but I started it as a creative outlet while I was a freshman in college. It's one of the most rewarding experiences, but starting one nowadays can seem like a daunting task. Here are my top tips for starting a blog.

    I’ve always wanted to start blogging since 2009. It’s 2019 now and I agree with her tip #1. Just start!

    Carly where did you go? Isn’t it all about Instagram now?

    Great content but I want to praise your background music. I noticed it... barely. Pleasant addition to the audio. However, it did not overwhelm your speaking. It didn't interfere. Good job!

    Wordpress isn’t free? I heard it was. In fact I just started a blog last night and it didn’t ask me for my card info or anything....

    Nowadays blogging is not only a job that makes money and an easy way of promotion. but blogging can also be used to share knowledge and teachings that can be repeated over and over again. and very many are successful with blogging.

    I've thought about blogging; it takes time. Writing takes a lot of time. Maybe I'll take a nap, and think about it tomorrow.

    I love the idea of coming up with 50 blog post ideas first. Its always easier for me to be motivated when I have content ideas planed out.

    It’s a few years later and I came across your CZcams. I loved the way you expressed yourself and all the good information on starting a blog. I’m retired and always wanted to start a blog but got inundated with all the advice from so many different outlets. So I put it on the back burner. Now, listening to you and reading your blog posts, I feel I have a direction to start from. Thank you and keep inspiring people like myself to never give up.

    I love to write poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. I have always wanted to start a blog with some of my poems and stories. I am nervous about putting my writing out there because I dont want my ideas stolen. Have any tips?

    I struggled with content a lot. and now I realized that I have to be just my own, cause being yourself is amazing.

    Thank you Carly. It’s refreshing to see an honest teacher who genuinely cares about her audience. I’m new to blogging and it seems most tutorials are selling instead of educating. I value the information and am going to subscribe to your channel. All the best!✨💯

    I am about to start this journey of blogging and I wanted to start at 60 miles an hour but thanks to this video...I’m going to try and slow down my start up. Love what you’re doing!

    Thanks so much Carly. I started a blog, ran out of steam, and am working on going back to it. I want to blog more regularly. The tips you shared helped me so much. Thanks again! 😊

    Thank you for giving me that boost of confidence to start a blog! Writing has always been a passion, no matter what it was: note, how my day was, family, short stories, etc. I wanted to write for newspapers first, but that a bit out there. Then I wanted to blog so bad, but forgot about it (I was close to setting up and the blog site never finished). After that, I discovered freelance writing. But I want to become a blogger. I'm still in college, but I can blog about my college experience during covid and what it was like growing up being part of Gen Z and all the chaos we've created, and many other topics. And I explored your website a bit and I love that you have so many niches/topics! I also really like your setup. Thank you for helping me reignite an old passion.

    OMG the ending was amazing, "I don't think you should buy blogging tips from anyone." Why can't more bloggers be like you (lol). They know that they grew their skills on their own, but now they want to charge a premium. I wish you much success; I hope I can utilize all of your tips to help my blogs grow and flourish.

    This is what happened to me I started and got 0 engagement so I stopped posting anything for years … I’m so glad I’m finding youtubers like you that are real about the ups and downs

    thank you for these tips, most of the youtubers make blogging tips videos just for the sake of money... but you are actually helping people gain confidence and start their own blog. thank you so much❤

    I didn’t check how long this video is before I started watching it. I only realized at the end of the video. Good job! ❤️
