    Having a blog can be one of the most powerful marketing tools that you will ever have in your business. I even started my blog knowing that it was my own marketing tool. One of the things I have learned, however, if you want to be really, really, really successful, is that you need to take yourself even further than your blog (eventually) and truly think about your blog business plan from the start.
    I started By Sophia Lee five years ago and we now have multiple 6-figure businesses that have started from it. And I can guarantee you that without my blog that I did all alone in college when I had no idea what I was doing, the businesses I have created wouldn't be here today.

    I started my blog 6 months ago using your Perfecting Blogging + Perfecting Pinterest course, and I have already begun to make income from ad and product revenue. I am nowhere near $50,000 a month yet 😅but your content inspires me to keep going!
    I am also a full-time doctoral student at Yale, so I must be very intentional about how I grow my blogging business. I'm not sure I would have taken this step without you, so thank you!! 🙌
    Let the haters talk! Your channel is so helpful girl!

    I never stop being AMAZED by all that you've done and am always SO inspired. I am currently rebooting my blog strategy and blew through Perfecting Pinterest, obsessed!, because it was SO good and made so much real, practical sense to set up my marketing strategy well. I will 100% come back and report on my future success. I KNOW it's coming. Love everything you do!!!! P.s you don't ramble. You are just so super transparent you simply flow. Love it!

    No successful business stays one thing. 30 years ago Walmart and target didn’t sell groceries, also Kmart was probably bigger than the both of them. Now Kmart is gone and Target and Walmart have a full grocery store inside. Evolve or dissolve. 😉 No one thought Sears was going anywhere, and it’s gone because it didn’t keep up with the internet and they were the inventors of the catalog that should have been a no brainer. đŸ€·â€â™€ïž. Staying one thing is never a good idea.

    Sophia, I've always had the same plan since college about blogging. Once I made my goal of $10k in a few years, I'll start my writing and music career/businesses. I always saw social media/blog as a way to fund my business goals. Keep talking about the blogging industry, please 🙂

    Honestly don’t get why people don’t think this is an amazing business strategy. This is why I took your course. I want to be and interior stylist started a company and and blog where I showcase my home styling ideas, staging stuff like that cause let’s be honest no one is going to hire someone brand new to the business they have to see what you can do first.
    It’s so hard when you have little money too so this is a great way to help people through your blog that need affordable ideas as well.

    Thank you for your channel. My dream is to have my own luxury alcohol brand and consultation/sommelier business. And I thought a good way to go about it is to have my own website. So I started searching about how to start a blog. Your channel is one of the best. I just love your story. Initially I assumed your dream career was to be a blogger but after watching this video I now realise your dream is in interior design. And the reason why I mentioned my own dream at the beginning of this comment is that it just affirmed for me 100% I’m on a good track with my website idea, and hearing how you made your interior design firm come into fruition and owning successful businesses just gave me even more hope and positivity that it’s possible for me too.

    How ironic you talk about taking a niche that you are talented in and raising it to the next level using your blog. I have worked with my current employer for 13 yrs and joined their dog training program a few years back. I took that program and made it my own business within this business using my own techniques in sales and made a very successful business out of it. Unfortunately, it didn't last forever but I do not regret it and now that I can take that and use that tool as part of my blog..Now I am fired up again. Thank you for sharing. Look forward in taking your course.

    I still don't know the difference between a website and a blog. I started a website back in early 2021, but then I stalled because it really is a lot of work without pay, like you say. I recently started posting to my website again and I'm starting to see some potential with it, but still a long way to go it seems. It hasn't been a waste of time though, because at the very least I have gained some technical skills that would be of value to a company that needs a website manager/writer/designer. So far though, I have not made $1 from my website although I have just prematurely started writing affiliate marketing pages.

    I do not recommend her courses . Everything in her courses can be found in these videos. The courses provide a bunch of fluff . If you do decide to buy a course do the Pinterest One because everything in the blogging one can be found there (and on here for free). Also, she contradicts herself so many times in the course. The courses will over all leaving you feeling like she’s trying to sabotage you then help you. Do not waste your money for something she’s giving away for free just to have to research it yourself,

I feel like she can stop saying “use common sense” in those videos but then again, she’s young & has no teaching background. I’m happy I spent the money on her course.
