This has truly become my blogging video to film! 🎉 What are your blogging goals for 2023?
my goal is to launch my blog and post 195 blogpost before the year is over!
I want to officially launch The Slow Lazy Adventurer (for introverted slow travelers & women with ADHD) by January 1 & complete your courses by mid-February. I live in China and we are letting COVID go crazy so I am teaching from home right now and so grateful for the chance to work more on these side hustles! I hope to monetize it by July and have also started a professional personal site (Abby Adventures) for my English courses for adult ELLs and new teachers! Busy but that’s how I like it 😆
To monetize my blog, hit 200 blog posts.
Is starting with bloggers okay if I'm looking to do this fulltime?
Firstofall i would like to thankyou so much🥰
My understanding that, blogging is a kind of story or info about something
Is this steps correct?
1) figure out concept of blog
2) Domain &hosting (need some money)
3) content ( own or research )
4) themes, layouts
5) publish
Can you tell, blogging accepts copypaste or own writing?
I love your videos. And I LOVE the fact that you don't have ANY music in the background of your videos at all. You don't understand how revolutionary that is. So many CZcamsrs have background music while they're talking and it makes it hard to focus on what they're saying. I'm not stupid. I know how to play my own instrumental music whilst I'm watching your video, if I want to. But mostly I actually don't want to listen to any background music whilst I'm listening to what you're saying. And you give us that choice. So important.
Great video. You can tell you truely care about helping others and thinking about what they need...which is what makes a great business. And I love that you were so down to earth :) Thanks.
You’re so incredibly inspiring! And such a beautiful human being inside and out!
I set up my domain and blog name over 2 years ago and haven't done anything on it ever since; when I first got introduced by a friend to your first CZcams video on starting a blog. I'm excited to have found your actual blogging CZcams page, and to get back on creating my page, getting it published and being committed to getting things done (with the help of your planners too!) Also, super inspired by your story and your other work!
I am thanking you in advance!💞
I started my blog last year and have been dragging my feet on getting it up and running. I recently saw an article about your house flip and had no idea that you were in my area. I’m motivated again to get it going! Thanks for lighting a fire in me again.
I have watched several videos, and I find your to be the most informative. I really took a lot from your video. Thank-you!
I had been building my blog for 1 year theny computer decided to die, which held me back so much thankfully I was done building the blog but was creating my newsletter and setting up the framework for my Pinterest. For over a year I've been watching all Sofia's video and they are extremely helpful! I bought a new computer and I'm back at it again going to launch in a few days.
Thanks Sophia for your Video about your Blog. I've been working on two blogs myself over the years, one personal and the other for a voluntary groups I worked with for a number of years. The latter, so I thought, was particularly successful at getting out our message. As a result we managed to get international coverage of our message about labour relations. Unfortunately we closed back in 2014 due to circumstances beyond our control. My personal blog is still active though not as much as I'd wish.
Hopefully listening to your talk will cause me to my blog from the doldrums. Thanks again Sophia and may God Bless your work.
Yay so I just watched your new video you dropped this week on your 23% sale of your course and I bought the blogging and Pinterest Bundle and it save me 51. Some dollars girly, thank you thank you thank you. I am soooooo excited as I got my blog back as bluehost had a glitch I guess like in Oct and had to call 5 times and just got it back 2 days before Christmas and I am sooooo happy but I am also thankful because my entire blog was reset so I am starting over and what better timing in my eyes than now since I am going to do your course first while I’m building my new blog as my last blog I could not figure it out and all since my last stroke which is now my 3rd stroke in 3 years so I have a memory and I get block brain I call it because I get so confused and I’m always trying to work either 3times harder to remember or get it right or I have to take courses so I understand better as I feel like a game with glitch issues. Lol. Nah it’s alright I have figured it out on how I can live a average humble life and I want to blog because I am a disabled stay at home mama and my blog gives me a sense of motivation and fulfillment in life and I suffer from seasonal depression too so this is something I can focus on when I am, having a hard day and need to take my focus off my adhd ocd brain and just build my blog that is giving me happiness snd fulfillment. Since you started CZcams I have been subscribed since day 1 of your start date. I appreciate your videos more tha. I could ever explain. You have helped me now build something of my own that isn’t something geared toward my disability or controlled by it, I control this and that’s what makes me feel like yessss I am going far and I’m also a mama of 2 teens 12 & 14 years old so busy there too with sports and school stuff plus my kiddos both have mental health things too plus they both have adhd but my 12 years old son has it realllllllly bad the worst I’ve ever seen and both my sons have Tourette’s Syndrome and my 14 year old son has moderate schizophrenia so we’ve had quite a bit of struggles with that and have finally gotten it under control and they both have severe anxiety and depression plus my 12 year has mild to moderate OCD and my 14 year just very very mild OCD. So with allllll of that going on with me and my little family plus me and my hubby have been together since high school and now married since 2007 so like 15 years we’ve been married at 20 years together I’m total which isn’t really heard of in todays world as everyone hears about Kim K and how she says Marriage doesn’t have to be longer than 72 hours or more than 2 like years but I am old school and believe my husband is my true soul mate and he feels the same and he always says as I always worry my health issues which is a lot to handle a lot of the time but like my hubs says we took vows and I meant when I said tell death do us part in sickness and I’m health and see that’s why my husband is the true half of my soul. The day I met my husband at work on my first day I remember that day like it was yesterday gal and btw congratulations on your upcoming wedding and trust me it feels so much better and different when you get married and by that I mean you’ll feel safe and complete. Best of wishes for your wedding and life together and hopefully one day some kiddos and btw don’t let family tell you when to have them babies that happened to us and now they never even come over to see them but doesn’t matter because having our kiddos was the BEST MOST AMAZING DECISION WE EVER MADE TOGETHER AS A FAMILY MEANING ME AND MY HUSBAND. Best wishes for the New Year of 2023 and god bless you every deal even more and have an amazing weekend. God bless you and your future family. Xo

Thank you so much, Sophia. Your videos are such a treasure. I appreciate the clarity you provide because I have wanted to do this for YEARS but always had such confusion about the steps. Could you please add to this what legal protections people should have in place when starting their blog right off the bat? And how do we implement those protections on our website, etc. Thank you!
thank you so much I do so much researchh recently do not know where to start. Glad I saw your video. Gonna take next steps.
When you said the platform needs to trust you, I felt that. So this is now my why for focusing on consistency, to build/maintain tryst.
1. Set the camera to manual mode.
2. Adjust the focus and field of view.
3. Adjust the iso.
That's it. Your videos will be sharp. Thanks for sharing the tips.
Great info and great video! I'm opening a website soon for my art business and am planning to start a blog on it. So exciting!!
That's Awesome Sophia! Putting together a team is the pinnacle of blogging business. Great job and of course the same as well with this video.
Currently, there are over 600 million blogs globally, which account for more than 6 million posts per day, or 2.5+ billion annually. In the United States, there are over 31 million active bloggers posting at least once per month.
77% of internet users read blogs (Social Media Today), and nearly 26% of people in the U.K. aged 5-18 are reading blogs (Statista).
The average blog salary in Canada is $78,000 per year or $40 per hour. Entry-level positions start at $37,163 per year, while most experienced workers make up to $113,300 per year. 12:43 [Ahrefs; GrowthBadger; Talent; Zippia]
Doing my research on this topic and your videos are very helpful. Thanks a lot!
Omg new vidddd yes!!!! I love your blogging content!!
I started my channel over a month ago. Thing that I am dealing right now (and need to talk with my therapist about :D ) is impatience and high expectations :( I came to realisation that I need to accept this journey, because that has already given so much to my personal growth and freedom!!
you're experiencing a problem with the focus because the autofocus locks onto your hand sometimes. You can change the settings and set up the focus manually pre-recording (which works great for situations like this, when you're sitting down), or be a little bit careful about how close you put your hands to the camera when speaking.
Great video. Really enjoyed it. all the best
yay!! i started my blog in 2020 but never really nurtured it, I got ur courses in November. My goal rn is to get 50,000/mo views by June by doing 2x good seo’ed posts a week and doing ur pintrist strategy. I have no idea how realistic that is.. but it’s better for me to set stretch goals 🎉
Thanks Sophia, this was super helpful!Excited to start!
Thanks so much for this video! I started my blog a few months ago but have been feeling really slow with it, almost like I wanted to give up with it. But the tips here have actually motivated me more to keep going!
Don't give up, keep it going! ❤
This video definitely deserves a like! Thanks Sophia!
Yesssssss been bingeing your content and got TWO blogs set up with your Etsy link because 17th Ave wasn’t taking new gigs until TODAY (12/12)! Etsy was much cheaper and I paid between 30 and 50 dollars per designer to get my sites prepped! (Abby Adventures & the Slow Lazy Adventurer for introverted travel lovers with ADHD 😁🥰-just rough outlines now!). Can’t wait to take your courses when my winter vacation starts and talked a friend into doing it too. You are the QUEEN 👸.
I subbed your channel because you said ADHD Introverts❤
I love how you teach blogging Sophia. You do a superb job at it. Thanks for the content. 👍🏼
Good morning. I have been wishing and dreaming about starting my channel or blogging. And I came across your channel n videos. Tgabk u sooooo much for encouraging me, and making me feel like I can do this. I have been praying for an avenue I can help my fam. And still take care of my new grand bb. Thank k u thank u sooo much for all of your tips and guides. Wish me luck. ❤

Thank you for this video! Just published my first post today and looking forward to what 2023 brings 👍
Thanks for the tips. Really helpful!
Thank you so much for this great video! 😃
❤Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. It's amazing and motivating to see that someone is so successful in this new era of content economy. Looking forward for more from your channel ❤
great video sophie.. thanks for the inspiration.. i started a blog this September. .
Great advice, thanks. Congrats on your engagement and all the best! 😄
I’d love to see a video on top mistakes! Like things you did with good intention that didn’t work ❤❤
Hi Sophia! Can you make a video about what to do to plan for the new year? Kinda late to ask but since I'm a year and a half into my bloggging journey, I'm wondering how to set goals for the new year/business year and how to analyze data (this part might be good for the blogging course) and the little nuances of getting prepared for the new year?
Awesome! I literally was at the checkout section on a major website company about to get a site! Just had a feeling I should research a bit before jumpin in!
First time watching…love your content! Well done!
Thank you very much for this content, it's really helpful♥
Love your videos! ❤🎉
I stumbled into your video while seeking some advice on starting a blog, and my biggest takeaway is the real timeline of progress, good advice! If you ever are curious how to improve the hiss on your recordings I am a professional audio engineer and I would be more than happy to help out for free! Thanks for the content!
Thank you so much for the amazing tips! Just passed the first year mark on my Tarot blog and its starting to profit, as a single mom this is life changing!
that's so amazing!!! congrats!
I like your natural way of speaking. Good video 👏👏
Thanks for sharing. This was incredibly helpful!
Thank you so much for these videos. Looking forward to eventually taking your class next year!
This was helpful. Thank you.
Well done and thank you.
I've been wanting to start a blog for years but haven't been serious about it until now. I just pulled out a notebook and took notes on everything you said. Thank you!!
Hey, quick question: it’s been a month since you made this comment. Have you done anything with your notes that you took or have you not touched them since? I promise I’m not trying to be rude. I’m asking because I’ve done the same with different topics. I’m wanting to start a blog as well, so if you have used your notes and gotten started good for you and any tips
what are yall blogs site please??? i really want an inspo but idk any personal blogs yet
This is an excellent video. Thank you👍
I’m re-launching my blog and this video has been extremely helpful thank you so much!
so glad to hear!! best of luck to you!!
I'm launching my blog this month and your videos have been incredibly helpful. I appreciate how thorough and detailed you are with exactly how to start and begin on the right foot. I also purchased your Blogging course and am looking forward to going through it. Thank you for these wonderful resources.
good luck!
Good luck to us...
Really hoping to apply this and other education you provide... we have a very very small niche.. wet felted wearable art and alpaca yarn... defining a topic list is a huge challenge
This video is always inspirational every year ❤❤❤❤ i truly wish you the best and wish for myself 0ne day to be a successful blogger as well ❤
Thanks for such valuable information about blogging.
Thanks for all this information Sophia! What about if you are not that good of a writer? Also can you make a video of your team members and what is their function?
Good advice. Thanks
HHello Sofia! I found your channel now and I'm a subscriber because you made great content!
Loved the video! Only thing that made me cringe was the blue host recommendation. I hosted with them for 10 years and by then had invested so much only to find out they offer no security on your data and my website was destroyed by malware within a few weeks. My business suffered greatly with no client access and I had to start over with a new host. I cried so bad!
me tooo ....no blue host
So what host do you recommend?
Good idea..perfect❤❤❤
This was really helpful, thanks
Perfect.❤
Never thought I'd be learning the most intriguing blogging tips from High Queen Susan the Gentle of Narnia. But here we are.
Thanks, Sophie! I am a part of the FB group and YOUR COURSE HAS HELPED Out Tremendously. It was the push I needed.
@perfecting blogging try putting the camera 10-15' away, using optical zoom to fill the frame and turn off auto-focus.
love it❤
Very nice of explaination
Perfect 😊😊😊
You have gorgeous eyes and you're soo pretty lowkey it was hard to pay attention to anything you said lol 😅😊😉😘
This was super helpful though I love Pintrest myself and you're right a lot of people do go there, I think because a lot of us need visuals and Pintrest has that down pact.
❤ Thank you for making this video!
This was so helpful and so inspiring! Thank you!
Where did you get that top? I love it:) Great blogging video! I've been working on my blog after purchasing your course for a year now!
Good information 👍
Hi Sophia! Merry Christmas! I am starting my blog January 2023, and these tips are definitely going to be very helpful. Which course should I take once my blog is live. I want so much to be a success with this blog. I am on a budget due to the fact I am disabled. But I would like to purchase one of the courses.💜💜♥️♥️🦋
Thank you for the great videos !!!Btw What is the blogcm website I saw from lots of the content creators (affiliate marketing creators ) ?
Great tips! What if you'd like to recommend products that don't offer affiliate marketing? For example, I have a backpack that I love for travel but they are not on Amazon.
Thank you Sophia, this is extremely helpful. I am starting a blog on parenting because I have been getting positive feedback from people including my children. Do you think it's a good idea to post video of interactions and activities with my children (hiding their faces) from time to time?
Do you have a video or course that goes over how to use WordPress and all of its features? I have found some difficulty with it.
Woow
Thank you so much for this! I’m a stay at home mom, and I have been looking for a way to build income. How long would you say it takes before you start to see a profit (realistically)?
You are so cute! Love your videos. Can you do a video on analytics and another one on how to start a CZcams channel? Thank you ❤
Listening to your passive income story, I wish I listened to my brother and started a while back. This was inspiring for me to get started on some momentum. Do you have a YT for blogging topics / focus??
Mantap 👍
I know nothing about blogging. I enjoy writing & think that I might be able to transfer my writing to blogging but I have no idea what to do. I'm a new widow & this is what I want to blog about. I think that I have a lot to say. There is so much that happens when you become widowed that are unexpected, surprised etc. I would like to blog instead of posting my experiences and feelings on Facebook. I listened to what you said but I don't think that I am understanding what to do. I am going through a lot & some of what I am experiencing might be helpful to other people in my boat. I'm 66 years old. I would like to get started ASAP I just am not sure how. You mentioned taking a course. How much do they cost? I don't have a lot of income to work with. I'm going to lose my home & I have lots of debt. So I am hoping that writing about everything that is happening to me can become a successful blog. I just need some more pointing in the right direction. Can you help me?
Please can anyone explain why Wordpress is better than Wix? I love my Wix set up and don’t like how Wordpress operates. I’ve read up the pros and cons online but I can’t find a good enough reason to switch other than ‘all the bloggers end up doing it’. I’m going to start blogging seriously again but don’t want to get caught up in little design features instead of what is important.
I have this same question except I like Squarespace even better than Wix. When I used Wordpress, I found it very annoying with so many options and plug-ins and stuff can go wrong...and I was so proud I taught myself design coding yet then realized it all looked wrong on some devices and was a mess.
did you ever get an answer to this? I can't see the replies. I'm also curious if I should switch but I like my Wix setup but I'm worried I will need to switch and it'll be too late to not it easily
I love your videos and I do have a question would it be smart to have a multi genre website (I want to talk about finances, faith, self experimentation to combat self sabotage, and I like cooking) yet I feel like I should hone in on either one or two or three?)
Nice👍👍👍
Hope I'll start a blog any time soon. Probably I will do it one in portuguese and another in english, if the blog's translator don't satisfy my needs towards both languages. What is your advice for this fact? Thank you so much for your videos and tips. ❤ It will surely help me. 🎉
would you consider including chapters in your videos?
thank you for all this amazing info!!!!
what legal protections should you consider when you are starting and then maturing
Just starting
Do you have any videos or resources on how the legal side of blogging? How to draft terms & conditions, privacy policies, what is GDPR and how to be compliant? I know you're not a lawyer, but any tips you can share based on what you've done to protect yourself?
THIS!❤
Hey great video, thanks for making. I have already signed up with wix and pointed my domain name to my site. I have multiple services and the blog is not my main focus. Would you still recommend using a self host? I'm trying to keep things as simple as possible as I'm so new to digital marketing etc. Thank you 🙏
Hand and focus )
Nice ...
As I travel in a motorhome, I love the portability of my iPad. Can I blog using just my phone and iPad?
Thanks for this video! I'm considering the course. Would the content and strategies be relevant to someone blogging for readers in Latin America?
Happy Wedding! ☺️
thanks for your video is nice
are you using Google blogger or some other one. because I plane to do this .
What keyword tools or apps do you use for SEO?
