    Tip for the first tip.. as someone with a schedule that changes a lot, I’ve found it extremely helpful to not publish posts right away.
    By this I mean, some weeks I may have a surge of motivation and have TIME to write 4 posts. So I’ll schedule two of those posts for that week and 2 for the following week. Then if the next week I only have time for 1 post I’m okay because I’m technically “ahead” already. So rather than dumping 4 blog posts one week, 1 post the next, etc. I’m just scheduling them out better. I tend to stay about 2 weeks ahead following this idea.
    This also helps me batch create pins a head of time too.

    I agree entirely with tip #1. Consistency is the most important thing here. It will pay off in the long run, for sure. I can say this from experience. It's nice to know what you will work on each day too. Thanks for these tips! Excellent video.

      Do you mind me asking what you mean by it pays off in the long run? Did you end up making consistent monthly income from your blog?

    @akg2474 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Sophia,
    I really appreciate your videos...will probably purchase the course bundle. I do have one question on which I would appreciate some clarity. At what stage in your blogging journey did you get an LLC/ Copyright/ Legal protection? Is that something that needs to be done upon launching your website or can it wait?

    Speaking of using pictures. There are royalty free pics from different sites; Can I use those, and not get into trouble? It says nothing about it on the websites, what I can see.

    Hi luv your content. I’m a makeup artist and I’m in the process of creating my website. I want to start a bridal beauty blog along with my website. Is that something you would recommend? Or should I have 2 separate websites?

  • @emmmelizabeth
    @emmmelizabeth ปีที่แล้ว

    Just starting, I have 3 blog posts right now on my website. Should I focus on creating more pins on my Pinterest for each of those topics right now or focus on creating more blogs on my website? Or both?

    Hi Sophia, I have a video request:
    Are there any books that you've read that would be helpful to bloggers, like copywriting or marketing books?
    I'm in the middle of reading "Influence" by Robert Cialdini and "Made to Stick" by Chip and Dan Heath, and loving both.
    Also, if you ever made a copywriting/sales course, I would buy it so fast x
