How to Start a Blog in 2023 | By Sophia Lee

This has truly become my blogging video to film! 🎉 What are your blogging goals for 2023?

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 Youtubers 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.

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 love how you teach blogging Sophia. You do a superb job at it. Thanks for the content. 👍🏼

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.

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 YouTube video on starting a blog. I'm excited to have found your actual blogging YouTube 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!💞

You’re so incredibly inspiring! And such a beautiful human being inside and out!

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 🎉

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 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

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!

Omg new vidddd yes!!!! I love your blogging content!!

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.

I have watched several videos, and I find your to be the most informative. I really took a lot from your video. Thank-you!

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!

This video definitely deserves a like! Thanks Sophia!

Thanks Sophia, this was super helpful!Excited to start!

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.

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?

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 👸.
