It would be great to see you do some interviews with successful bloggers who credit you and your courses & videos with helping them to create money making blogs. It would be great to see how the principles work across a diverse array of blogs.
Sophia I appreciate you. I been tuning in for about three years. I love your advice. I like your email course that I took earlier this year. Could you do a video dedicated to Pinterest? It could be for beginners. Also could you do a video on any second year information and what you would change in your second year? I know you been blogging for years and you are an inspiration.
Loved this video! I would love to see more in-depth business blogging videos that are not only for beginners. Like a video for Q4, or a video about hiring, etc
I love your content and your style! One question, how long should a post be? like how many words for a short post and for a in-depth post? Love from Spain!
First time I've seen your videos and I'm so happy I found your channel. I'm 3 months into my blogging journey and have made some affiliate sales already which was shocking to me. I took an affiliate blogging course (we share the same mindset about taking courses). I'll definitely check out your blogging course over the next week or so. Congrats on your continued success and looking forward to learning more from you!
As a Creative Entrepreneur who just started a channel, I have a wellspring of innovative flow pouring out of me, but its hard to find time. I have to work a job to pay bills and I am the only one to do so. I write, do art, graphic design, photography, and even dabble in Mime. I always dreamed of being hired by another entrepreneur like yourself to build an empire of my creativity. Just so I can have full time devoted to my craft. I have great buisness ideas and Im sticking to it regardless if I have help or not. I love creative people. Its truly a selfless artform. Kuddos to what you do and congratulations on the success!
Naw...NameCheap is amazing....BlueHost is good but, alot of people who blog recommend them because they're affiliate... They're a good company just affiliated... a lot of successful/prosperous bloggers use NameCheap. #My2Cents
This is the EXACT content and transparency I've been looking for when it comes to a successful blogger sharing the ACTUAL blueprint they followed that brought them success. I appreciate you breaking this down in terms of what you did in phases. Super helpful.
My trouble has been picking a niche and sticking with it. I have a few different passions or things I want to get into that I am not sure would actually make a good blog. I know it’s not all about the money at the beginning but I know there are things that are easier to break into or things that people respond better to vs something that maybe hasn’t been done before. Or if it isn’t a saturated market maybe it will take off because someone else is curious too? I just keep flip flopping and never know how to commit and make the leap.
it's ok to have 2 or three blogs too! Not all of us are geared to one and done paths in life or business. Just pick a rhythm that works for you and then STICK TO IT. If you have a lot on one blog (like daily, or 5 a week) but less on the other passions - one or two a week - it's ok - just keep to it as much as possible! Beating ourselves up is the thing that truly keeps most creatives out of the success of their dreams. Just DO IT.
I don't think I have ever watched a video from start to finish. I absolutely was captivated by every word! I am going to go check out all of your info! Thank you!!!! Jewels
Awesome story. Your brain may be mush by the end of this, but the content is so perfect for inspiring viewers, even an old dude like me. Congratulations and much continued success. Thanks for sharing your journey in this informative video.
I like your focus and I like the fact that you take one thing and learn all about it. I'm going to steal that one, but congratulations on being so young and doing such great things. I am definitely going to check out some of your courses soon. Thank you
Can an old dude do this? I can actually type 85 WPM -- using all my fingers (thanks to my 8th grade teacher), lol Your humbleness is adorable because it exudes sincerity and transparency, something everyone is attracted to. Great video, you've inspired me!! God bless you, Sophia.
Thanks for saying that it was terrifying. I see so much confidence in you that it crossed my mind that I need to be on that level and as a starter I'm scared! 😬
thank you so much sofia! This was great. Really helps to have focus. I'm just starting and trying to figure out how to juggle everything but don't even know if this is a serious endeavor. I'm at peace with the process now
This is super informative thank you for taking the time to share in detail. I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog, this is really helpful.
Absolutely love the content you share. It has been quite helpful in my blogging journey. You rock! Sophia, you are such an inspiration. Thank you for all that you do. Also, you blogging course provided me with so much knowledge. It was well worth the investment.
Thanks alot - I am myself a professional and want to start my side hustle and ultimately make it my main hustle. You helped alot in strategising. Hope one day I am also able to talk like you on a YT video. Lots of love
It's definitely perfected , congratulations 🎉... your $120,000 per month comes from all the courses and links in your description. And affiliate links on your website. Blogging about blogging... lol perfect !!
I’m new to your channel great info.. I honestly didn’t know about hosted websights…the only thing is?? there’s nothing about the niche and the competitiveness of your chosen niche, DR rating, links, how AI is used or it’s influence, topical clusters and EEAT, how many blog posts do I need 10-20-50-100 or more to gain authority within a niche ?? Sorry I’m new so many questions -thank you for this amazing content !!
Confused with how the term 'self hosting' is being used. Self hosting is whereby you host a blog on your own webserver and not in the cloud via a webhost unless mistaken.
I purchased your course and am disappointed in your return policy. Strongly would tell people interested to explore other options before making the purchase.
Btw, Sophia, I was going through your blog the other day and it's slow. If you are spending so much on a theme, it should worth it. Or maybe it's something different reason
I'm launching a clothing brand but I thought it would be smart to start a blog first to build a community and get people interested in what the brand message is. Does your course go over people who have stores on their blog and sell their own products or just affiliate links? Because I'm not sure if having links on the store would bother a customer. Would I only allow ads on the blog pages?
I started my blog 2 years ago after watching your blogging videos not sure of what my niche was. My question now is, should I take a blogging course related to my niche which is style and beauty it can I take yours
But you do a video about the Google console? I have written 40 blogs and the Google console is saying crawled but not indexed. It's been about 2 months.
Hello. Really enjoy your vidoes and content about your bloghing jounrney. Im on thay journey also, but need a little help. What your best course for blogging thank you
she said she sells blogging courses which are hundreds. she also uses Google Adsense to put on her website, so when people click on her website, she literally makes money from people viewing the page due to the ads. she also uses affiliate marketing to make money as well, so like if you use her links (for example, to amazon) whatever you purchase, a certain percentage goes to her. she also has created more things to sell like planners too. she also said it took her 5 years to get to this point. watch her other videos if you want a more in depth demonstration. but she provided what she said she would for this video.
But do you make money blogging by teaching others how to blog? It just makes me wonder how do you know what its like to make money on a blog with a different niche.
People in these comments are so demanding as if they’re entitled to your direct help!! Thank you for sharing your insight on the strategies you’ve implemented 🙌🏽 I appreciate your transparency and wisdom!!
Awesome video, Sophia! Your advice hit home. I've been juggling multiple tasks daily, causing major frustration. Inspired by your experience, I'll now tackle one thing per week - like SEO first, then Pinterest. Your year-long focus before diversifying is eye-opening. Time to adjust my plan and see where that takes my business!
what a scam, do you think any person w common sense believes you make 120k a month blogging and takes 30min explaining to do it on youtube.... ridiculous. this how I make 50k 80k 200k a month videos are the most irritating and I will report the video as fake content
I’m starting my blog today!!! You’ve taught me so much in a short time and I’m so excited!! Thank you for helping me start my journey. I’m excited to see where it goes ❤
I appreciate your commitment to transparency. It's refreshing to see that you're not promoting an unrealistic view and instead, you acknowledge the effort and time involved. After extensive research, I've found your content to be valuable, and I've just made a purchase of your course. Thank you!
Has anyone else figured it out yet? I’m sure they have, but I’m going to say it… this is complete BS, the whole thing just like many others who say 50k a month here 100k per month for digital products, doesn’t matter what it is, it’s all a sham to get hundreds of thousands to watch their channel so they can make money from RU-vid ad revenue. If I was making 1.2 mill per year blogging, I wouldn’t waste my time telling people about it, or making RU-vid videos. The trick is, who’s to say it’s not possible to make that. Difficult to say, so it’s great way of getting you to click and watch the whole video. They’re never going to actually show it because they don’t actually do it. And if they did why would they give away their niche strategy ? So they make money banking on peoples search fr ways to make money online. Sly sh$t
I like that you actually had an outline you were following instead of just rambling and going off on tangents. Also appreciate that you showed there's stages to building this type of business instead of advertising overnight success.

General blogs work too instead of writing a blog around different topics each day u can use a month to focus on art, second month lifestyle etc. It would still work u don't have to niche down. I tried to niche down but after a while I got bored staying in 1 place and now I have multiple blogs revolving multiple niches that I can't even manage when I could have just had everything in one place.
Do you think if you started a new vlog today, from scratch, all of the things you did 5 years ago would still apply? Im wondering if your audience is loyal, locked in, so I could see how you would still get views/visits and stay at the “top” of google. Plus, with all of the years you’ve been online and the amount of traffic you’ve gotten over time, you’d have a much better page rank, which means your blog can be in “cruise control”. And someone starting today would be at the bottom of the “pile”, thus growing really slowly or not at all…
I think there needs to be some discussion about the impact of AI on blogging. Blogging as a workable strategy for passive income may already be on the way out.
