Got to say, Emma ... I've spent a lifetime in Marketing/Advertising and PR ... seen it all and done a fair bit too but I'm impressed with this first part of your Blogger Series - it was so well done - it's exactly what every 'up and coming' wants to know and delivered perfectly. Nice !!!
Winner of a video, I've been looking for "earn income blogging" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Toniam Blogging Boheimeth - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Emma, I have to say that you totally amaze and inspire me with your work ethic. I have (in the last year) begun following a few vlogs and blogs and see a huge difference in people who truly put a ton of work into theirs versus those who slide by. Lately, I've noticed their are some (particularly younger 'it girl' kind of vloggers that have huge followings but write the sloppiest 3-sentence blogs that mostly say, "hi loves---had a blast drinking coffee yesterday" and where every single vlog is a collaboration with no real content). But then there is you---recording, editing, understanding your audience, writing well-composed blogs, and providing excellent information and detail in your vlogs...NOT TO MENTION answering nearly every frigging comment personally. I (recently) read a blog post you wrote entitled, "How to Run Your Blog as a Successful Business" and it was excellent...detailed, comprehensive and honest. Even the recent vlog you uploaded about using Vestiare was so comprehensive, well thought out, and full of valuable content that I was shocked at the attention you put into planning it right down to the Iphone screen shots/vids while you were speaking. To be honest when I started watching that one, I thought ummm ok everyone pretty much knows how to shop online...but man, I learned A LOT about using that particular site. You and your husband should feel so proud because the effort and professionalism you put into your careers really comes through. I am inspired! (And sorry this comment was sooooooo long.)
Oh Lisa, I bloody love a long comment ♥️ Thank you, thank you, thank you! Honestly comments like this just put me on cloud 9 for the rest of the day 🙌🏼 I'm just so glad you enjoy the content we're making and putting out there onto the world wide web, because it's tough these days, with all these young coffee-drinking whipper snappers out there, I thought I would get lost being one of the bloggers from back in the day but I just stick to my motto 'be yourself' and create content that a) I enjoy making and b) people enjoy seeing. Reading every single comment across all my platforms and reply to the majority of them is really important to me, that's where I get my connection to you guys and that's the most important thing for me ♥️
I can tell you and Simon pour a lot of sweat and grit into each video. Your "how to's" and style videos are insanely thorough and carefully edited. Thank you for raising the bar for other fashion TH-camrs and I hope you guys continue uploading quality content.
I think "be yourself" is something special abt you and that's why of all the bloggers, you are my favorite. you are so frank and true!it is also sth that 've been trying to stick to. Dont try to please everyone. Just be myself. thanks and much love ❤️❤️
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years for you. I do have all the respect in the world for everyone who started blogging years ago and kept doing it even if it didn’t bring them money yet. I mean juggling a full time job, a life and blog, it seems like a hard job. This video was so informative, thank you for doing this ❤️
It was a much slower process back then because it was all new. Having said that we didn't even know that blogs would turn into money-earners/careers. It took me about 5 1/2 years before I actually earned any money, and I was also a little slow on the uptake surrounding affiliate links etc (which I'll go into in more detail in my next video) but I have really enjoyed watching this grow from one level to another and I'm incredibly grateful that I get to do this as a job and earn a living ♥️
I’ve wanted to start a blog for a while but I’ve not really known where to start. This video alone has gave me the confidence. I can’t wait to hear the rest of your tips.
The quality of your content is incredible. You speak simply, eloquently, in an easy way to grasp and understand and you are so detailed in your explanation and information. Keep up the amazing work, really looking forward to future videos!
I love everything about how you approach your work - you're professional, authentic, produce great content but you're also so engaging to watch because you don't take yourself too seriously. (This includes Simon as well) . I've subscribed and unsubscribed to so many people over the past few years, but I'm pretty sure I'll keep viewing what you do for as long as you choose to do it now.
I know this video is a bit older but i just saw this and it’s a god send. I’m just beginning and I’m so stuck! This was so helpful. I also love how real and honest you were about it. Tips from an expert like you are amazing! Thanks Emma!
Sooo glad you’re doing this series Emma! I’ve had a blog in the past but stopped blogging because I didn’t have the time. Now I’m a Digital Marketer I write alot and I’ve wanted to start a blog again. This video has definitely inspired me to start !! X
I'm really happy you did a video about how to start a blog. My twin and I were trying to figure out how to go about starting one. This has helped so much. I can't wait to see other videos about blogging.
I have no interest in any of this, but I think you're amazing for offering this help & information to people. You & Simon (and the pups!) have created something special and your channel is like fresh air.
I just found your channel today, this is the first video I've watched and I'm already in love! I've been hoping to start a blog for so long and I appreciate your words of wisdom so much that I just did!! Subscribed! xx
Thank you soooo much for this video and the upcoming series. I am new to the idea of blogging at the very beginning of my journey. You have no idea how insightful and helpful this series is going to be. In the wide open oceans of the internet finding content as detailed as this has been a struggle, so thank you thank you thank you!!! Subscribed!
Brilliant! I’d probably never have the guts to blog but i love your honesty and encouragements. Really enjoy your channel and the content is so varied and enjoyable xx
Omg this is so needed. My blog has turned 5 years but at the moment i dont do anything on it because I have a baby. Cannot wait when you speek about working with brands and how to contact them.
how gorgeous you are! absolutely love listening to you talking, even though this topic is not even that relevant for me! amazing presentation skills! xx
Such a great, encouraging video! Thanks for all the useful information and I love how well you explain the blogging set-up process. Looking forward to seeing more! 😘💕
I absolutely LOVED this video. Thank SOOOO much for sharing this. I started a blog to complement my business many years ago and got completely uninspired, always comparing myself with others and thinking I wasn’t good enough (not to mention English is not my first language so that made me doubt myself even more). But I have always wanted to do it and this is definitely a huge inspiration. I appreciate the time you take to share our knowledge with us. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series videos!! Sending you a big hug from NY 🤗🤗 xo, Marcela
Thank you do much for doing this! I have a blog on bluehost for literally a year and have never written a post bc I don't feel good enough..this year I'm going to put effort in and hope for the best.. I like your idea of having a blogging day, makes things less stressful
Yessssssssss! I am so fucking excited about this new mini series! I’ve been going back & forth with whether or not I should start a (travel) blog or not & I am so thankful for you & this! You’re so inspiring & I’m ready to soak up all your advice!
oh my gosh!! thank God you made this video! its as if you read my mind...I was scouring your vids the other day to see if you had ever spoken on the topic of getting started!!🤗 xx THANK YOU
I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog myself for quite a while.. I did start but with a tight schedule I lacked what you mentioned.. Consistency! I think that is the key to success..Thanks to your video I will probably get back to it and commit to once a week post because I liked it and miss the interaction with my readers too. Sooo informative, thank you for sharing your knowledge Emma can not wait for the rest of the series 🙌🏻💗
Thank you Emma. Genius series. I've been toying with starting a blog and this video has given me so much courage to give it a go. You and Simon make a great team. Looking forward to watching this years content...fun times! 😘
Thank you so much for sharing your tips, this is such an informative video Emma. You are truly such an inspiration. I'm currently working on having a blog for the first time and even though I am beyond terrified because I've never done this before it's something I have being wanting to do for years. Can't wait for your part 2 video.
This was so good, easy to watch and interesting. I dream about blogging but know that right now is not my time. However, gathering information in preparation is a great start. Very generous of you to share. Look forward to the next and now following your blog.
Really loved watching this video!:) thanks so much for sharing, Emma. I found your channel when I was going through bag reviews and I found your videos so funny and informative and often full of wonderful eye candy - clothes, bags, shoes, even home ideas:) I have a blog that’s so old and rarely posted to, but this video has inspired me to try writing again now that I’m a momma. Will check out part 2. Looking forward to more lovely videos!
Absolutely amazing and informative video! Been following your instagram and watching your videos a lot recently, and wow! Very excited for what's to come in this series! Keep it up!
This was so helpful! You answered my most immediate questions in this one - the ones I needed motivation on so I can get started. I'm excited to watch the next in this series. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your experience/tips! I’m bit more of a subscriber/reader when it comes to blogs and watching this has gave me more appreciation to bloggers! I’ve always felt your passion and dedication on both your blog and youtube channel (I’m sure your other social media platforms are just as great! I’m mainly on youtube and blogs 😅) (Btw Simon’s touch on youtube is just superb! Both of your work ethics are SUPERB!!) and this series has gave me a new perspective/appreciation. ❤️ Awaiting for ‘EJ style’-> ‘Emma Hill’ blog (oh! I LOVE your new haircut!! really enjoyed your jewellery favourites! the fashion was on-point as well! Loved it!! Great inspiration!!) ❤️
Hi Emma, I have been watching your videos for a while now and I must say, I love your content, especially this blog series. I do have a food blog but am kind of struggling so am looking forward to learning a lot from this series. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Emma, great video! I am not interested in starting any blog but it was interesting to get an idea of the effort and the work for it! I think you are so cool, natural and flawless that can be easily seen by both the way you are dressed and speak!! Have a nice and well spent Sunday!!
Wow, this was very informative and it’s just the beginning of the series. I’m quite intrigued and being a blogger never crossed my mind as a creative outlet for me. Looking forward to learning more!
Thank you so much for this video! I was wondering if in some of your later videos or maybe an insta story list some of your favorite blogs and blog writers? Who’s content do you enjoy reading/watching and why?
Emma, thank you so so so much for all this amazing information! Love hearing all of it (as a non-blogger). I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE a video one day on taking photos - how do you decide location, time of day, how do you pose, that kind of thing. As well as anything you learned along the way, maybe comparing an old photo to a newer one and what you learned in between. Thanks for considering! Luv you guys! xx
This is very helpful! My biggest problem is the FIRST ever blog post! It gives me so much fear. I've now decided to go through my favourite bloggers pages, and others, and literally scroll to their first post in hopes for inspo
❤️❤️❤️thank You Emma for sharing so valuable information. I’m especially interested in photography and as I told You before I’m really impressed by Simon’s work. Stunning photographer.
I’ve been thinking of starting a fashion blog for a good year now, and lately I’ve made my final decision, I hope to get it up and running by the end of this month! I’ve been following you for some time now, and I love your personality as much as I love your style! I feel like this series is going to help me a lot during this new “journey”, so Thank you for giving away this tips, I’ll make sure to let you know my blog name as soon as I have everything ready hoping you’ll find the time to check it out. Xxx
Good things take time so I think it's great that you're taking the time to really mull it over. That's a little luxury that none of us in the 'early days' had. Do ping me over that link when you're up and running xxx
how weird... i was thinking of starting a blog last night so i was looking on bloglovin’ for inspiration and came across your blog which then lead to your youtube, i automatically subscribed because you seem so inspiring and now you post this!! haha must be fate. really looking forward to the rest of the series.
Hi! I have recently discovered your channel and love your style and personality this video gave me the push I needed to start my own blog and a lot of helpful tips so thank you!
The hardest thing for me about starting a blog is picking a domain name. I really wanted my name, but its already taken so I am working on brainstorming other options. Like maybe going with a .net or using a dash between my name. Love that you gave tips on cameras too. Right now I have a webcam but am looking to upgrade soon!
You are awesome! Thanks for the brutal honesty. I've totally staged photos where I was running into the frame! Hilarious, and glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for all of the info. I'm trying to learn as much as possible as I start my blog.
This has been great. So informative. Although I'm a booktube vlogger I have been too intimidated to go onto setting up as a blogger. So This series is fantastic. Xx
Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve considered starting a blog for years but haven’t done it yet. I’ve never known where to start! I’m still not even sure if I’ll ever do it but at least I’ll have a reference video so thank you! (Currently taking notes just in case!)
Wow! I was thinking about starting a blog and - tadaa - you posted a video about it :-) What a timing! And super helpful and hands-on, liked it a lot! Thank you so much for all the advice!
Loved this video so many great tips! I have been thinking of starting a blog seriously this year and was making notes. Its a pretty unused space still here in Australia (we are always way behind the times here), you have given me the push 😍.
Hi Emma! I just wanted to say that there actually is a way to schedule Instagram posts! There's an app (and a website) called Later that let's you set a time when to post! :) It's quite nice and I'm using it too! So yeah...have a great day!
Thank you so much you have really giving me a good idea about how i can start my blog off better and what how to do it :-) I have just started my blog this week and i cant wait to get more into it but it is hard. Because there is so much that i wanted to and write about but the hard thing is to keep to your "theme " but you have giving me a really good idea / start to how i can keep it and still write about all the thing I want to! :-) Thanks
This video was so helpful! after quite a while of thinking about it, this video has defo gave me the push to do it! p.s i loveeeee your style so much, gives me major inspiration!
Hi Emma! This video (!!) might just push me to start my blog... I've had so many attempts over the years, because I have so many ideas. But I also have so many fears. I feel like everyone is doing the same thing, and I'm afraid of just getting lost in cyberspace. Also, the more the years go by, the more I feel selfconscious and the more I don't like other people's judgement. But enough rambling, your videos and content are amazing, and truly inspiring! I love it!
I totally understand all your concerns. If I'm being honest I do believe it's harder to have a successful blog these days. It's not harder to start one, it's actually easier now, but it is harder to gain 'numbers'. The reason for that is now people are starting blogs for what I would deem as the wrong reasons, for "freebies", to be "Insta Famous", to "make loads of money" (another misconception about blogging too). There's nothing wrong with being ambitious but in my opinion blogs should be started because they're a passion. It's an oversaturated market out there so the 'being yourself' part is crucial but obviously that has it's downsides too, because if someone doesn't like you then that's personal. It does take a thick skin to be in this industry but it also takes some serious self-love. I don't get any real hate for some reason but any negatives that I do see, I just appreciate that not everyone on the earth is the same and will like the same things, if they did wouldn't it be boring? ♥️
Thank you for your answer! I just took the plunge and here is the start of it: daphnevanlanduy3.wixsite.com/daphne I'm not going to apologise for it being a real amateur thing, haha. I get that it takes years to build a beautiful site. And frankly, I don't really care how it looks now. I love that it gives me newfound motivation to educate myself in new things. I think I'll start a digital marketing course, and I'll also love to follow some website building classes. Anyhow, I just wanted to share this with you
Got to say, Emma ... I've spent a lifetime in Marketing/Advertising and PR ... seen it all and done a fair bit too but I'm impressed with this first part of your Blogger Series - it was so well done - it's exactly what every 'up and coming' wants to know and delivered perfectly. Nice !!!
Winner of a video, I've been looking for "earn income blogging" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Toniam Blogging Boheimeth - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Emma, I have to say that you totally amaze and inspire me with your work ethic. I have (in the last year) begun following a few vlogs and blogs and see a huge difference in people who truly put a ton of work into theirs versus those who slide by. Lately, I've noticed their are some (particularly younger 'it girl' kind of vloggers that have huge followings but write the sloppiest 3-sentence blogs that mostly say, "hi loves---had a blast drinking coffee yesterday" and where every single vlog is a collaboration with no real content). But then there is you---recording, editing, understanding your audience, writing well-composed blogs, and providing excellent information and detail in your vlogs...NOT TO MENTION answering nearly every frigging comment personally. I (recently) read a blog post you wrote entitled, "How to Run Your Blog as a Successful Business" and it was excellent...detailed, comprehensive and honest. Even the recent vlog you uploaded about using Vestiare was so comprehensive, well thought out, and full of valuable content that I was shocked at the attention you put into planning it right down to the Iphone screen shots/vids while you were speaking. To be honest when I started watching that one, I thought ummm ok everyone pretty much knows how to shop online...but man, I learned A LOT about using that particular site. You and your husband should feel so proud because the effort and professionalism you put into your careers really comes through. I am inspired! (And sorry this comment was sooooooo long.)
Oh Lisa, I bloody love a long comment ♥️
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Honestly comments like this just put me on cloud 9 for the rest of the day 🙌🏼 I'm just so glad you enjoy the content we're making and putting out there onto the world wide web, because it's tough these days, with all these young coffee-drinking whipper snappers out there, I thought I would get lost being one of the bloggers from back in the day but I just stick to my motto 'be yourself' and create content that a) I enjoy making and b) people enjoy seeing. Reading every single comment across all my platforms and reply to the majority of them is really important to me, that's where I get my connection to you guys and that's the most important thing for me ♥️
I can tell you and Simon pour a lot of sweat and grit into each video. Your "how to's" and style videos are insanely thorough and carefully edited. Thank you for raising the bar for other fashion TH-camrs and I hope you guys continue uploading quality content.
Thank you so much! x
I think "be yourself" is something special abt you and that's why of all the bloggers, you are my favorite. you are so frank and true!it is also sth that 've been trying to stick to. Dont try to please everyone. Just be myself. thanks and much love ❤️❤️
Jessie Xie it’s the motto I live by, hence the tattoo 🙊😉 You can never please everyone so you may as well just be yourself ❤️
You just gave me the positive energy I need to move forward and start sharing my passion by starting my blog!!! Many thxxxxx Emma! All the best!!!
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years for you. I do have all the respect in the world for everyone who started blogging years ago and kept doing it even if it didn’t bring them money yet.

When you enjoy watching Emma so much, you like the video before watching! -Love from New York Emma !
The quality of your content is incredible. You speak simply, eloquently, in an easy way to grasp and understand and you are so detailed in your explanation and information. Keep up the amazing work, really looking forward to future videos!
Jonell thank you 💋
The sky is the limit for you girl..you’ve got it...beauty and brains👏
I love everything about how you approach your work - you're professional, authentic, produce great content but you're also so engaging to watch because you don't take yourself too seriously.

Emma, thank you so so so much for all this amazing information! Love hearing all of it (as a non-blogger).
I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE a video one day on taking photos - how do you decide location, time of day, how do you pose, that kind of thing. As well as anything you learned along the way, maybe comparing an old photo to a newer one and what you learned in between. Thanks for considering! Luv you guys! xx
This is very helpful! My biggest problem is the FIRST ever blog post! It gives me so much fear. I've now decided to go through my favourite bloggers pages, and others, and literally scroll to their first post in hopes for inspo
❤️❤️❤️thank You Emma for sharing so valuable information. I’m especially interested in photography and as I told You before I’m really impressed by Simon’s work. Stunning photographer.
Simon Creasey Oh Wow!!! Yeah Good job!!! I thought that You are a graphic or some art school etc.
I’ve been thinking of starting a fashion blog for a good year now, and lately I’ve made my final decision, I hope to get it up and running by the end of this month! I’ve been following you for some time now, and I love your personality as much as I love your style! I feel like this series is going to help me a lot during this new “journey”, so Thank you for giving away this tips, I’ll make sure to let you know my blog name as soon as I have everything ready hoping you’ll find the time to check it out. Xxx
Good things take time so I think it's great that you're taking the time to really mull it over. That's a little luxury that none of us in the 'early days' had. Do ping me over that link when you're up and running xxx
how weird... i was thinking of starting a blog last night so i was looking on bloglovin’ for inspiration and came across your blog which then lead to your youtube, i automatically subscribed because you seem so inspiring and now you post this!! haha must be fate. really looking forward to the rest of the series.
Hi! I have recently discovered your channel and love your style and personality this video gave me the push I needed to start my own blog and a lot of helpful tips so thank you!
So amazing! And the tips are super! I felt like Reading a book from a professional. Thank you!
I’ve finally done it! I finally started that blog I have been telling (and annoying) everyone with!
Great advice, and detailed introduction to the craft...thank you
Awesome information! Love all your videos my virtual friend. Can’t wait to see more.
The hardest thing for me about starting a blog is picking a domain name. I really wanted my name, but its already taken so I am working on brainstorming other options. Like maybe going with a .net or using a dash between my name. Love that you gave tips on cameras too. Right now I have a webcam but am looking to upgrade soon!
Thank you for this! I loved it so much, your insight and information is really appreciated it. Really motivational! 💕👏🏼
You are great. Love watching and reading you.
You are awesome! Thanks for the brutal honesty. I've totally staged photos where I was running into the frame! Hilarious, and glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for all of the info. I'm trying to learn as much as possible as I start my blog.
This has been great. So informative. Although I'm a booktube vlogger I have been too intimidated to go onto setting up as a blogger. So This series is fantastic. Xx
Thank you so much for this video!! I’ve considered starting a blog for years but haven’t done it yet. I’ve never known where to start! I’m still not even sure if I’ll ever do it but at least I’ll have a reference video so thank you! (Currently taking notes just in case!)
Just go for it, I'm always here if you need any help xxx

Thanks Emma! Very helpful. I'll be starting my post soon.
Loved this video so many great tips! I have been thinking of starting a blog seriously this year and was making notes. Its a pretty unused space still here in Australia (we are always way behind the times here), you have given me the push 😍.
Hi Emma!
I just wanted to say that there actually is a way to schedule Instagram posts!
There's an app (and a website) called Later that let's you set a time when to post! :)
It's quite nice and I'm using it too!
So yeah...have a great day!

Hi Emma!
This video (!!) might just push me to start my blog... I've had so many attempts over the years, because I have so many ideas. But I also have so many fears. I feel like everyone is doing the same thing, and I'm afraid of just getting lost in cyberspace. Also, the more the years go by, the more I feel selfconscious and the more I don't like other people's judgement.
But enough rambling, your videos and content are amazing, and truly inspiring! I love it!
I totally understand all your concerns. If I'm being honest I do believe it's harder to have a successful blog these days. It's not harder to start one, it's actually easier now, but it is harder to gain 'numbers'. The reason for that is now people are starting blogs for what I would deem as the wrong reasons, for "freebies", to be "Insta Famous", to "make loads of money" (another misconception about blogging too). There's nothing wrong with being ambitious but in my opinion blogs should be started because they're a passion.
It's an oversaturated market out there so the 'being yourself' part is crucial but obviously that has it's downsides too, because if someone doesn't like you then that's personal. It does take a thick skin to be in this industry but it also takes some serious self-love. I don't get any real hate for some reason but any negatives that I do see, I just appreciate that not everyone on the earth is the same and will like the same things, if they did wouldn't it be boring? ♥️
Thank you for your answer! I just took the plunge and here is the start of it: daphnevanlanduy3.wixsite.com/daphne I'm not going to apologise for it being a real amateur thing, haha. I get that it takes years to build a beautiful site. And frankly, I don't really care how it looks now. I love that it gives me newfound motivation to educate myself in new things. I think I'll start a digital marketing course, and I'll also love to follow some website building classes. Anyhow, I just wanted to share this with you
The aesthetic of this video is goal 👌🏼👌🏼
It’s as if you knew I’ve just started a blog! Thank you for this X
