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.
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
I loved this video; I launched my blog in May 2017 - editedbyus.blog/ - I'm a beauty/fashion/lifestyle and everything in between blogger. I put so much of my time and effort into my blog because it's what i'm most passionate about. I love photography and writing and having an outlet for my creativity. I'm redesigning my blog at the moment so I'm really looking forward to watching the rest of this series!
I was thinking of starting a blog for girls with similar body types as myself, 32 E/F tits on a 1m 54cm body, clothes that fit my waist never fit my chest. So frustrating. I wanted it to be a fashion blog, but I'm scared of actually doing it because I don't have enough money to buy new outfits everyday, plus I don't drive and our transport system sucks where I live, so it'll be tricky to get to cool locations to shoot.
Excited by this new series you're doing 😊 I started my blog about a year ago but really want to focus on it more in 2018 so will be following this series with interest!Http://www.thisiseverything.net
Thank you so much, Emma, for inspiring me to start up my own blog. I've wanted to do it for so long but never had that 'push' to do it until I watched this video of yours! Here's a link to my blog: katieroseosborn.blogspot.co.uk
Hi Emma, thanks so much for all those tips, they came just at the right time. I can't wait to watch the next videos. Here is my blog www.betweencolours.com
So excited for the rest of this series! Thank you so much!! My friend and I actually have a joint blog that started as a hobby and now we're hooked! www.thepinkladiesxo.com
Hi Emma! i loved your video! I started my blog at one year ago, more and less, and I learn many little things with this video, thank you. You are an inspiration! Your blog is amazing. ritaloboblog.wordpress.com/ instagram.com/rittalobo/
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!
I started a blog before this particular video, but your blog and videos are what inspired me to start blogging! I even started on squarespace too (still there lol.) Love every post you do! www.timothyjohnkelly.com/new-blog/
What an amazing video! Can't wait until the next one! I started my blog www.philosofiesite.wordpress.com because I just love writing and taking photos! However, I do still struggle to post consistently, since I'm still at college and sometimes my schedule is too hectic, do you have any tips or tricks regarding this issue? 😊❤️
Hi Emma, so lovely that you are sharing your experience and knowledge with us. I have followed you for the past couple of years, and I started my blog around a year ago. I would really appreciate it if you take a look. I look forward to seeing your next video along with your vlogs, Also make sure you bring your Mom on board again at some point, she's so much fun x sarahcale.co.uk x
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.
I love this series. I have a section on my blog dedicated to blogging tips because I get asked a lot of questions. I blog over at www.themariaedit.com if you want to check it out.
This video was just what I needed right now. I have a blog myself, and whilst also being a student and part time sales advisor I struggle to be consistent and it has really gotten me down recently. After watching this, I'm off to write a new blog post! So thank you, Emma! Link: laurenjeffrey97.wixsite.com/laurenjeffreyblogs
Hey Lauren. Honestly I couldn't relate more. I had a full time job in retail as I mentioned and especially in Winter I used to struggle with being consistent. Sometimes you need a little break to gather your thoughts and to re-charge and get back that passion ♥️ I'm so glad this video gave you a little nudge, I'm going to talk about being inspired and motivation in my next video so I hope that one will be equally as useful xxx
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
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've had my blog for 3 years now, but I feel like I still learn every day which is why I watched your video Emma, (well if we forget I watch all your videos anyways. haha) I'd really love/appreciate a comment with any suggestions or tips for my blog please? www.roseabovethethorns.com - Looking forward to the rest of the series x
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.
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
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.
Thank you for this!! When you purchase a template off Etsy, how do you apply it to your actual website? Probably a stupid question...this video really inspired me to actually commit and do it! Also, if my blog isn’t fashion related, what kind of pictures would you suggest? I’m a psychologist and Life Coach, so my blog will be like a life-wellness blog. Suggestions?
All the templates come with super easy instructions on how to upload the new theme to your blog, just make sure you purchase the right templet for the platform you're using 👍🏼 I think when you have a blog that isn't so easy to sum up in photo form you have to think outside the box. Imagery is so important when it comes to blogs and it can really draw people in and inspire. I would think about what you want these images to say/convey and use your creative streak to capture that in an image. There's also a more practical side so if you're discussing yoga or relaxation techniques then you can capture this as you demonstrate the techniques 👍🏼
Thank you for the helpful video, Emma! My question is how to make my blog easy to find on the internet? Because when I search on the internet for my blog, I don’t find it; that is I can only copy paste the URL of my blog in order to finally find it. This problem has been bothering me because other blogs are findable whilst mine is not. Please help and thank you in advance xx
I will be discussing SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) in my next video in the series so that should help you out a bit, but don't be too disheartened as there are millions of blogs out there so it will be difficult to find via search engine. The key to getting your blog seen is social media 👍🏼
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.
Hi Emma and Simon! I've just watched this video and found it so helpful....I recently started a blog in October and I also work full time so have found it really hard juggling things lately, but this video has really given me a lot to take on board. Thanks so much! My blog is www.lashingsoflittlel.blogspot.co.uk - I write about travel, lifestyle, beauty, food and....well, pretty much a bit of everything. I'd love it if you could check it out, my latest blog is about my trip to New York. Thanks x
Thank you for this information! Very informative. I have been blogging off and on for over 4 years and this just gave me the push I needed to refocus and take my blog to the next level! I can't wait for the next video. www.stylewithnina.com I would love for you to check it out. Thanks Also, can you do a series on how you grew your youtube channel soo quicly? Thanks
Such a helpful video, I struggle with content and editing my reviews. I am now motivated to get one post up every two and sticking to my reading schedule! Check out my nerd/review themed blog www.nadeensbeat.com consistency is lacking...but I started editing my newest post and it should be ready for my Sunday deadline.
Love your videos, and this is a helpful video! look forward to the others. I've just started a blog! Don't know what I'm doing at all but hey, gotta start somewhere lol. itsjordanowen.wordpress.com
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!
Such a great video, thank you Emma! Also very excited for the series! I've started a blog multiple times, but I always get stressed when it comes to taking pictures. I still use the 'pillows' method and it's definitely not easy. www.beforeverinstyle.com
I am so excited about this series. After a long while of wanting to take the blogging plunge I finally did it this month. It's www.audreyalene.com. I'm giving myself the month to build content and to work on the design. It's live but I haven't done any type of promotion yet. It's exciting and I have such massive respect for bloggers as I learn all that goes into creating a blog (never mind a TH-cam channel too!). Thank you for doing this video and for sharing your experience. 🙌🏻❤️
Hi Emma! This video and the second installment are super helpful. Really love that you are doing this. Do you think its worth it to do an introduction post when starting a blog? Or would you just jump in with your creative content? You are the best and such an inspiration :)
Such an informative video - thanks so much for the tips Emma! I know I need to up my game of consistency (as well as everything else!) - so I aim to do this, this year! My blog is mabelsbeautybee.blogspot.co.uk - thanks! Deb xx
This is a stellar video Emma! I recently have returned from a year-long blogging hiatus and am wondering if you would have any quick advice for relaunching a blog?? I relaunched on Thursday last week with a new layout and am three new posts in, but I am looking to get my audience back or find new readers. I have posted on my social media but if you have any ideas I would love to hear them. I'm just blogging as a hobby and it isn't necessarily about having a trillion readers for me but it is always nice to know that someone is reading what you share, and besides, its nice meeting people and having new readers. I know you're busy though so no worries. Anyway, I am so looking forward to this series!! Also- I friggin' love your vides and style. Basically I subscribe and keep up regularly. I never comment but thought I'd go ahead today and say hello and fan girl a little bit. Cheers! talktomyshoes.wordpress.com
Talktomyshoes thank you so much for commenting ❤️ I will be focusing the next video on tips around promoting the blog and groaning your audience, but social plays a big part in that 👍🏼💋
I love this series already! I've been 'blogging' on and off (mostly off lately :P ) since May 2017 and I've got to say you were one of the main inspirations behind my blog (quite honestly!). I've been in a rut lately and haven't posted since November but after watching this...I'll write a blogpost today! Thanks Emma! My blog is celialenaelan.com if you've got time to check it out! xx
I love your videos & watch them each week but seldom comment. I'm so glad you have started this series! I literally just started my blog Jan 1st, so hopefully this series will help me out. Tips & tricks are always welcome, I would love it if you stopped by. Thank you again for helping us little people! meanderingredhead.wordpress.com
I'm still a newbie and i needed this video so much, it has given me a little boost! I'm trying to venture into parenting blogging but i'm super scared and bloody clueless (which hopefully will become my niche haha), i'm very much in my comfort zone right now, naughty! www.majellarose.com Thanks for the video!!
Thank you for all the tips! I have started my blog over a year ago but I've not been the best at being consistent. I also feel way too shy to have someone take photos of me so still need a bit of work haha. But I'm looking forward to watching all the vids in this series to inspire me to get out of my comfort zone :) dreamsandtingsblog.wordpress.com
Hey there, I'm also on wordpress. I see you have many followers, do you have any advice on how to succeed on this platform? I have trouble getting views, maybe you have a strategy to share or some tips? :) My blog: fieryfreckles.wordpress.com
Hi, Emma! This sounds incredible because I already followed your blog and youtube channel quit a long time ago. I've created my own blog few months ago and believe it or not you have inspired me to do it. I acctually made a post "about you". Thank you so much for your tips and keep your amazing job. Here's my blog (pattyisontheblog.wordpress.com) and sorry for my english mistakes, but I'm portuguese!!
Hi Emma! I'm from Austria and I really like your blog, instagram and youtube. This Blogger Series is very interesting - even if I'm working on my own small blog since some years. It's: www.herwriting.at Have a nice evening! :)
Great video - can’t wait to watch the next one! I have a blog but haven’t been consistent enough with it - this is something I’m really trying to focus on this year! I have so many ideas it’s just trying to get them out...Would love you to check it out thelustlife.com
I wish I have seen this video earlier :D I just started my own blog! I am super excited, but it is also a hard task to manage. I am writting in my native language for now, but I´m seriously thinking about starting an english version. Your blog/YT/Instagram is a great source of inspiration form me, such a beautiful pics. So thank you for this episode and I´m super excited to see others!!! my blog is kateblossom.cz/
Hi emma! You're amazing and... I am italian so i could be write something wrong in english. Aniway, tris is my blog www.tendenctionary.it and it's italian site, but if you want I'll be happy to reader your advice and what do you think About it and its style! Thankyou! Kiss
Hey Emma!! Absolutely love this video, it's pointing me in the right direction. I just really need to get my social media game started. I started my own blog last month about my skin journey and other things relating to my life. My blog is www.ladyofspots.com xx
Brilliantly helpful series - thanks so much Emma! I’ve watched both episodes and have a pretty basic Q re technology...(Soz if I missed a mention of this!) I’ve a laptop that’s not bad but also not great! 🙄 wondering whether it’s worth investing in a Mac or another laptop or whether it really doesn’t matter! What do you think? Xx
Jo Bewley it depends what you want to use it for. Is it not great on the editing side of things or the internet side? I always think it’s good to upgrade your tech every few years even if you’re not a Blogger, but it will kill your blogging productivity if you have a slow machine 🙈 There are lots of affordable deals out there for laptops, it doesn’t have to be a Mac, they are quite professional pieces of kit and super expensive.
Thank you so much for uploading these series of videos soooooo helpful! Can’t wait to see what is to come next! I have been blogging for a year and sometimes feel like I’m not achieving so hopefully your videos will help me further! Thank you once again! www.heatherpaget.com
Hi Emma, thank you for doing this video. I’ve come back to blogging and it’s nice to just sit and revisit the basics! Hoping to start getting better photos but as you said, we’ve got to start somewhere to improve! My blog is www.dianamorrisonblog.co.uk Looking forward to the next in the series! X
ive actually been thinking about starting a blog for a while now but just can't seem to gather the courage to do so lol. I guess this is a sign that I should go for it
This is such a great series you have started Emma! I love reading your blogs and watching your channel. I have started a blog recently and would love to know your thoughts! Just gaining the confidence to post and put content out there!! And cornering my boyfriend to take my photos, I'll give the free lunch incentive a go this weekend 😏 www.amygormally.co.uk I have followed you since the early days, even working for a company yearsss ago now where you were on my list of 'influencers to watch and gift' 👏🏻 You gave me some great coverage each month so thank you! Loving the new series, can't wait to watch more! You are totally giving more people the confidence to start blogging and be creative online! ☺️
Very motivating to rekindle with my blogs...The 'partner in crime' for the fashion blog is mandatory unless you want to practice your High-Intensity spurting skills and looking like a statue before the 10 seconds are up...
oh, I will probably never go back to my fashionblog again because I lost the fun but my personal care blog has been around for almost a decade and I've been one of the 1st into Korean beauty eg so I miss that one
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.
Hi Emma Excellent video, I am restarting my TH-cam channel. I know this video is about a blog but I felt it was also useful if you are starting a TH-cam channel. I can’t wait for more content.
Thanks Emma I’ve dabbled in writing blogs since like 2009.....all previous have also fallen into the black hole, kind of glad though. I love writing and love taking photos but always felt like a sheep and not an influencer so i think that has held me back. I love to travel and am currently doing so with my husband and son so decided to kick off this blogging thing again discussing those, have only really done one post though, but you have definitely given me a little more confidence and inspiration to continue. My blog is thekindestregards.com
Thank you so much Emma! I'm new to the blogging world - a full-time IT professional, easing my way into a styling and blogging business. This really gives my a creative outlet. You are an inspiration for me and I appreciate you so much. I'm at www.abqjensmith.com and I have a loooong way to go. :)
Hi Emma, I am new here but want to say this blog is inspiring 👍 I wanted to start my blog too and that was very helpful thank you. P.S London needed a Vlog like yours, excellent Idea and the sense of humor is great😃I had 2 chiwawa’s but had to re-home them as I moved out of london so seeing your chiwawa was great fun, Thx again for amazing Vlogs :)
Thank you so much for these tips!! I just started my blog (www.neoseoul.me) at the beginning of January. I'm super excited to put your advice to use :)
Emma, such an amazing video and content! I really loved it and I guess I will love this series! I started my own blog, but nowadays I think it is very difficult to stand out among everybody else... and sometimes this is frustrating.. I really love fashion and I hope one day I could dedicate myself to it.. This is my blog: ariadnagcsite.wordpress.com/ I would like to know what do you think! You are an example for us of perseverance and hard work! Your content is useful and you are amazing and very close to us. I look forward to seeing you in Spain! :)
Such a useful video, thank you! I’d already started my own blog but have been in such a lull with it recently - this vid has given me the boost and inspo I needed to really get back into it! Looking forward to the next in the series 🙌🏻 www.lifethroughawardrobe.com
So glad you're doing this blogger series! And I've got to admit...it's always nice to actually hear a successful blogger say they were a little bit crap in the beginning!! Still fairly new to this whole blogging thing, but your tips have seriously helped. So excited to keep going with it! My blog is www.madelaineblogs.com if you fancy taking a look!
Thank you so so much for this very helpful video! So kind of you to dedicate time to teach your experience to all of us! I have indeed started a blog, you can find it at www.marcbeau.com Love, Marco ❤️❤️
I have just found your channel and I am obsessed how have I not discovered you sooner. Secondly, thank you for this video! It was so helpful. My blog is a few months old and I wish this video came sooner for me because I have definitely experienced the name issue. I've decided to settle on : www.cheekymondays.blogspot.co.uk, but this will probably change again haha. Looking forward to the rest of the series! xx
Love that you’re doing this series! I just started my health website www.themodernhealthproject.com so i’m looking forward to all the tips & tricks :) xxx
Loved the video!! Great tipps for getting started. I always struggle with consistency. Since being a full time student, it is quite hard to stick to a schedule. However after watching this video, I’m definitely going to change that 💪🏼 Thank you for creating this informative video! Love watching all of your videos ♥️ xx Gamze www.theminimalchic.com
Absolutely love this video! I have my own blog www.daniellesamanthawatson.com which is fashion, beauty and lifestyle. I would love to know what you think! Videos like this can really help other bloggers and vloggers build in confidence! Xx
Hi Emma, I just watched your video and cannot wait until the next one. I have been toying with the idea of a blog for an age but its confidence and content I'm struggling with, although in saying that, I do instagram on a regular basis @allthingsginafied, but again its quick and a lot easier. I found your advice extremley informative albeit a little daunting when you actually hear aloud all the work that it entails. I appreciate the advice and will keep watching.
Hi Emma! Thank you so much for making this video! I had a blog back in the day but stopped when I left uni - I recently launched a new blog last year and I've been loving every minute of it! I love your blog/ Insta/ TH-cam so much and the quality of your content is just amazing - you and Simon have done such a great job. You've been a huge inspiration for me starting my blog so I'd love for you to have a little look at it! It's www.phoebenickalls.com :) Can't wait for more blogging tips from you! x
Oh, how can I wait until next month? ;) I absolutely appreciate your detailed video. I am so ready, ready to blog again. I was blogging before people knew it was even a thing. They would say, "blog?, what's a blog?" & laugh at the funny word. I sure wish I would have kept it up. Maybe I could be scooping up some moolah today. Your personality is adorable, btw.
Thank you so much for this video! So informative. It’s so nice of you to share all this! Hubby and I have been willing to start a blog for more than a year but thought we were not equipped enough. Now I see we actually got everything we need: the passion, the creativity and an iPhone 😊. Will come back and post our blog here when it get live. Quick question: we are French so do you think we should write in French or English? Thanks for your advice and I love your personality so I subbed! 😉
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, I can't tell you how helpful this video is! I've been blogging for three years and sometimes I feel like it's just never going to happen for me but I love it so much so I push on! I can't wait to see the rest of your series! My blog is wayofwear.com and my Instagram is @wayofwear I would absolutely love it if you checked it out. Claire X P.s. I love your humor - I watch all of your vlogs! The porn comment made me giggle :P
I've only had my blog for about six months and really struggling to maintain a post a week whilst writing my dissertation but hopefully come summer I will have some more time to really focus on it. This video helped so much with getting my motivation back - Thank you Emma!!! My blog: lovefrommblog.wordpress.com/ xxxxx
Great video Emma, thank you for sharing ! It really informative and thorough. Your various tips on photography apps are a godsend for my blog which is still ‘under construction’ (so not available to the public) with Wordpress but hopefully will be ready to be published very soon. With my blog, which is called bonjourdiana.com, I hope to inspire women in their 50+ to remain beautiful, feminine, active and positive despite the many changes we go through during and after breast cancer and in life in general. 🌷
What an excellent idea behind a blog ♥️ I think blogs like this can like can really other change other people's lives, it's like a form of therapy and it's just bloody wonderful! Keep it up and thank you for sharing your link xxx
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 ❤️❤️
Don't know if you're still coming back to the comments here, but I absolutely loved this video! I've had my blog for almost 3 years and I've done most of these tips, but I can definitely see that I need to work a bit harder on it! Looking forward to the rest of the series! betweenthehangers.com
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!
I know I basically comment every week but just wanted to say you are doing a great job! So informative! I find blogs are dwindling and it's all about the Gram! But I still love reading my favourites, Laura from BNBL is a Greta writer but she's solely Instagram now 😊
They are dwindling slightly for existing audiences but there are lots of people out there that still enjoy a good old blog read, and it's about finding those new audiences. My blog stats were amazing when I first started out, but as the years went on and more and more bloggers popped up they started to dip. Now that I've joined TH-cam they've almost trebled because of this new audience that have discovered me via TH-cam. The issue with Instagram is that it's not your space, you don't own it so you could be removed, hacked, deleted at any time, but a blog belongs to you and no algorithm can ever change that 👍🏼
Hey Emma! Absolutely amazing video!! I feel like you covered everything someone would need to know to start with. I started my blog last October and it was such an eye opener. It is such hard work being a blogger! It was great to hear you go over some things which I have already experienced and doing a mental check. I am sooo looking forward to the next video in the series!! Thank you!! www.toluthompson.co.uk/single-post/2018/01/A-GREAT-2018 P.S. I love watching you and Simon in vlogs, you two are hilarious!!!
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.
The sky is the limit for you girl..you’ve got it...beauty and brains👏
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
I loved this video; I launched my blog in May 2017 - editedbyus.blog/ - I'm a beauty/fashion/lifestyle and everything in between blogger.

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!
I started a blog before this particular video, but your blog and videos are what inspired me to start blogging! I even started on squarespace too (still there lol.) Love every post you do! www.timothyjohnkelly.com/new-blog/

What an amazing video! Can't wait until the next one! I started my blog www.philosofiesite.wordpress.com because I just love writing and taking photos! However, I do still struggle to post consistently, since I'm still at college and sometimes my schedule is too hectic, do you have any tips or tricks regarding this issue? 😊❤️
Hi Emma, so lovely that you are sharing your experience and knowledge with us. I have followed you for the past couple of years, and I started my blog around a year ago. I would really appreciate it if you take a look. I look forward to seeing your next video along with your vlogs, Also make sure you bring your Mom on board again at some point, she's so much fun x sarahcale.co.uk x
Hi Sarah! I just checked your blog. It is really nice, good topics and useful info for the readers. Congrats!
Did she just say “mind fart”?
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!!!
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.
I love this series. I have a section on my blog dedicated to blogging tips because I get asked a lot of questions. I blog over at www.themariaedit.com if you want to check it out.
This video was just what I needed right now. I have a blog myself, and whilst also being a student and part time sales advisor I struggle to be consistent and it has really gotten me down recently. After watching this, I'm off to write a new blog post! So thank you, Emma! Link: laurenjeffrey97.wixsite.com/laurenjeffreyblogs
Hey Lauren. Honestly I couldn't relate more. I had a full time job in retail as I mentioned and especially in Winter I used to struggle with being consistent. Sometimes you need a little break to gather your thoughts and to re-charge and get back that passion ♥️ I'm so glad this video gave you a little nudge, I'm going to talk about being inspired and motivation in my next video so I hope that one will be equally as useful xxx
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
An excellent and inspiring video! Thank you! X
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 💋
This so damn inspiring! thank you Emma! you actually made me want to make my first blogpost!
I've had my blog for 3 years now, but I feel like I still learn every day which is why I watched your video Emma, (well if we forget I watch all your videos anyways. haha) I'd really love/appreciate a comment with any suggestions or tips for my blog please? www.roseabovethethorns.com - Looking forward to the rest of the series x
Just started a blog! Love to see your photos and videos. www.cafecarrie.com
OMG...you arę the first person that explain everything so clearly🙏🏻Thank You💯🙏🏻
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.
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
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.
Thank you for this!! When you purchase a template off Etsy, how do you apply it to your actual website? Probably a stupid question...this video really inspired me to actually commit and do it! Also, if my blog isn’t fashion related, what kind of pictures would you suggest? I’m a psychologist and Life Coach, so my blog will be like a life-wellness blog. Suggestions?
All the templates come with super easy instructions on how to upload the new theme to your blog, just make sure you purchase the right templet for the platform you're using 👍🏼
I think when you have a blog that isn't so easy to sum up in photo form you have to think outside the box. Imagery is so important when it comes to blogs and it can really draw people in and inspire. I would think about what you want these images to say/convey and use your creative streak to capture that in an image.
There's also a more practical side so if you're discussing yoga or relaxation techniques then you can capture this as you demonstrate the techniques 👍🏼
I just started my blog couple days ago munirafitness.com I’m still working on it. Totally brand new. Thank you so much for the advice!! 👍🏽❤️
Thank you for the helpful video, Emma! My question is how to make my blog easy to find on the internet? Because when I search on the internet for my blog, I don’t find it; that is I can only copy paste the URL of my blog in order to finally find it. This problem has been bothering me because other blogs are findable whilst mine is not. Please help and thank you in advance xx
I will be discussing SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) in my next video in the series so that should help you out a bit, but don't be too disheartened as there are millions of blogs out there so it will be difficult to find via search engine. The key to getting your blog seen is social media 👍🏼
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.
Hi Emma and Simon! I've just watched this video and found it so helpful....I recently started a blog in October and I also work full time so have found it really hard juggling things lately, but this video has really given me a lot to take on board. Thanks so much!
My blog is www.lashingsoflittlel.blogspot.co.uk - I write about travel, lifestyle, beauty, food and....well, pretty much a bit of everything. I'd love it if you could check it out, my latest blog is about my trip to New York.
Thanks x
Thank you for this information! Very informative. I have been blogging off and on for over 4 years and this just gave me the push I needed to refocus and take my blog to the next level! I can't wait for the next video. www.stylewithnina.com I would love for you to check it out. Thanks Also, can you do a series on how you grew your youtube channel soo quicly? Thanks
SO EXCITED about this series!! Such helpful tips, thank you so so much! Brb, gotta go blog now 👋🏼 www.michellemabelleblog.com
Such a helpful video, I struggle with content and editing my reviews. I am now motivated to get one post up every two and sticking to my reading schedule! Check out my nerd/review themed blog www.nadeensbeat.com consistency is lacking...but I started editing my newest post and it should be ready for my Sunday deadline.
Love your videos, and this is a helpful video! look forward to the others. I've just started a blog! Don't know what I'm doing at all but hey, gotta start somewhere lol. itsjordanowen.wordpress.com
Never a truer word said, just enjoy the experimental phase 🙌🏼
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!
Such a great video, thank you Emma! Also very excited for the series!
I've started a blog multiple times, but I always get stressed when it comes to taking pictures. I still use the 'pillows' method and it's definitely not easy.
www.beforeverinstyle.com
beforever instyle big respect for the ‘pillows method’ 🙌🏼 we all have to start somewhere and good things take time ❤️
I am so excited about this series. After a long while of wanting to take the blogging plunge I finally did it this month. It's www.audreyalene.com. I'm giving myself the month to build content and to work on the design. It's live but I haven't done any type of promotion yet. It's exciting and I have such massive respect for bloggers as I learn all that goes into creating a blog (never mind a TH-cam channel too!). Thank you for doing this video and for sharing your experience. 🙌🏻❤️
Hi Emma! This video and the second installment are super helpful. Really love that you are doing this. Do you think its worth it to do an introduction post when starting a blog? Or would you just jump in with your creative content? You are the best and such an inspiration :)
Such an informative video - thanks so much for the tips Emma! I know I need to up my game of consistency (as well as everything else!) - so I aim to do this, this year! My blog is mabelsbeautybee.blogspot.co.uk - thanks! Deb xx
This is a stellar video Emma! I recently have returned from a year-long blogging hiatus and am wondering if you would have any quick advice for relaunching a blog?? I relaunched on Thursday last week with a new layout and am three new posts in, but I am looking to get my audience back or find new readers. I have posted on my social media but if you have any ideas I would love to hear them. I'm just blogging as a hobby and it isn't necessarily about having a trillion readers for me but it is always nice to know that someone is reading what you share, and besides, its nice meeting people and having new readers. I know you're busy though so no worries. Anyway, I am so looking forward to this series!!
Also- I friggin' love your vides and style. Basically I subscribe and keep up regularly. I never comment but thought I'd go ahead today and say hello and fan girl a little bit.
Cheers!
talktomyshoes.wordpress.com
Talktomyshoes thank you so much for commenting ❤️
I will be focusing the next video on tips around promoting the blog and groaning your audience, but social plays a big part in that 👍🏼💋
I love this series already! I've been 'blogging' on and off (mostly off lately :P ) since May 2017 and I've got to say you were one of the main inspirations behind my blog (quite honestly!). I've been in a rut lately and haven't posted since November but after watching this...I'll write a blogpost today! Thanks Emma! My blog is celialenaelan.com if you've got time to check it out! xx
I love your videos & watch them each week but seldom comment. I'm so glad you have started this series! I literally just started my blog Jan 1st, so hopefully this series will help me out. Tips & tricks are always welcome, I would love it if you stopped by. Thank you again for helping us little people! meanderingredhead.wordpress.com
Thank you Emma...I don’t have a blog, but you gave me the push I needed to get off my butt 😉
YES 🙌🏼
I'm still a newbie and i needed this video so much, it has given me a little boost! I'm trying to venture into parenting blogging but i'm super scared and bloody clueless (which hopefully will become my niche haha), i'm very much in my comfort zone right now, naughty! www.majellarose.com Thanks for the video!!
Thank you for all the tips! I have started my blog over a year ago but I've not been the best at being consistent. I also feel way too shy to have someone take photos of me so still need a bit of work haha. But I'm looking forward to watching all the vids in this series to inspire me to get out of my comfort zone :) dreamsandtingsblog.wordpress.com
Hey there, I'm also on wordpress. I see you have many followers, do you have any advice on how to succeed on this platform? I have trouble getting views, maybe you have a strategy to share or some tips? :)
My blog: fieryfreckles.wordpress.com
Hi, Emma! This sounds incredible because I already followed your blog and youtube channel quit a long time ago. I've created my own blog few months ago and believe it or not you have inspired me to do it. I acctually made a post "about you". Thank you so much for your tips and keep your amazing job. Here's my blog (pattyisontheblog.wordpress.com) and sorry for my english mistakes, but I'm portuguese!!
Thank you so much! I'm honoured to have featured in your blog post and thank you for such kind words ♥️
Hi Emma! I'm from Austria and I really like your blog, instagram and youtube. This Blogger Series is very interesting - even if I'm working on my own small blog since some years. It's: www.herwriting.at
Have a nice evening! :)
Great video - can’t wait to watch the next one! I have a blog but haven’t been consistent enough with it - this is something I’m really trying to focus on this year! I have so many ideas it’s just trying to get them out...Would love you to check it out thelustlife.com
I wish I have seen this video earlier :D I just started my own blog! I am super excited, but it is also a hard task to manage. I am writting in my native language for now, but I´m seriously thinking about starting an english version. Your blog/YT/Instagram is a great source of inspiration form me, such a beautiful pics. So thank you for this episode and I´m super excited to see others!!! my blog is kateblossom.cz/
Thank you for this! I loved it so much, your insight and information is really appreciated it. Really motivational! 💕👏🏼
I started my blog a few months back, I work in retail and I started my blog for the exact same reason as you - sugarhoneyicedtee.com xx
Hi emma! You're amazing and... I am italian so i could be write something wrong in english.
Aniway, tris is my blog www.tendenctionary.it and it's italian site, but if you want I'll be happy to reader your advice and what do you think About it and its style! Thankyou! Kiss
Hey Emma!! Absolutely love this video, it's pointing me in the right direction. I just really need to get my social media game started. I started my own blog last month about my skin journey and other things relating to my life. My blog is www.ladyofspots.com xx
Brilliantly helpful series - thanks so much Emma! I’ve watched both episodes and have a pretty basic Q re technology...(Soz if I missed a mention of this!) I’ve a laptop that’s not bad but also not great! 🙄 wondering whether it’s worth investing in a Mac or another laptop or whether it really doesn’t matter! What do you think? Xx
Jo Bewley it depends what you want to use it for. Is it not great on the editing side of things or the internet side? I always think it’s good to upgrade your tech every few years even if you’re not a Blogger, but it will kill your blogging productivity if you have a slow machine 🙈 There are lots of affordable deals out there for laptops, it doesn’t have to be a Mac, they are quite professional pieces of kit and super expensive.
Emma Hill thanks so much for your reply! I’ve a feeling it’s my skills that are the problem rather than the tech! X
Thank you so much for uploading these series of videos soooooo helpful!
Can’t wait to see what is to come next! I have been blogging for a year and sometimes feel like I’m not achieving so hopefully your videos will help me further!
Thank you once again!
www.heatherpaget.com
Hi Emma, thank you for doing this video. I’ve come back to blogging and it’s nice to just sit and revisit the basics! Hoping to start getting better photos but as you said, we’ve got to start somewhere to improve! My blog is www.dianamorrisonblog.co.uk Looking forward to the next in the series! X
ive actually been thinking about starting a blog for a while now but just can't seem to gather the courage to do so lol. I guess this is a sign that I should go for it
DO IT! 🤜🏼🤛🏼 ♥️
This is such a great series you have started Emma! I love reading your blogs and watching your channel. I have started a blog recently and would love to know your thoughts! Just gaining the confidence to post and put content out there!! And cornering my boyfriend to take my photos, I'll give the free lunch incentive a go this weekend 😏 www.amygormally.co.uk
I have followed you since the early days, even working for a company yearsss ago now where you were on my list of 'influencers to watch and gift' 👏🏻 You gave me some great coverage each month so thank you!
Loving the new series, can't wait to watch more! You are totally giving more people the confidence to start blogging and be creative online! ☺️
Amy Gormally ahhh it’s so nice to hear from you Amy ❤️ keep it up, as I am always saying ‘good things take time’ 💋
This video is so interesting! Totally love it. 😍
Very motivating to rekindle with my blogs...The 'partner in crime' for the fashion blog is mandatory unless you want to practice your High-Intensity spurting skills and looking like a statue before the 10 seconds are up...
haha but I kinda miss those days 🙊
oh, I will probably never go back to my fashionblog again because I lost the fun but my personal care blog has been around for almost a decade and I've been one of the 1st into Korean beauty eg so I miss that one
I want to start a blog, but I don't know what to write about.
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
Hi Emma
Excellent video, I am restarting my TH-cam channel. I know this video is about a blog but I felt it was also useful if you are starting a TH-cam channel. I can’t wait for more content.
Thanks Emma I’ve dabbled in writing blogs since like 2009.....all previous have also fallen into the black hole, kind of glad though. I love writing and love taking photos but always felt like a sheep and not an influencer so i think that has held me back. I love to travel and am currently doing so with my husband and son so decided to kick off this blogging thing again discussing those, have only really done one post though, but you have definitely given me a little more confidence and inspiration to continue. My blog is thekindestregards.com
Thank you so much Emma! I'm new to the blogging world - a full-time IT professional, easing my way into a styling and blogging business. This really gives my a creative outlet. You are an inspiration for me and I appreciate you so much. I'm at www.abqjensmith.com and I have a loooong way to go. :)
Hi Emma, I am new here but want to say this blog is inspiring 👍 I wanted to start my blog too and that was very helpful thank you. P.S London needed a Vlog like yours, excellent Idea and the sense of humor is great😃I had 2 chiwawa’s but had to re-home them as I moved out of london so seeing your chiwawa was great fun, Thx again for amazing Vlogs :)
Thank you so much for these tips!! I just started my blog (www.neoseoul.me) at the beginning of January. I'm super excited to put your advice to use :)
Emma, such an amazing video and content! I really loved it and I guess I will love this series! I started my own blog, but nowadays I think it is very difficult to stand out among everybody else... and sometimes this is frustrating.. I really love fashion and I hope one day I could dedicate myself to it.. This is my blog: ariadnagcsite.wordpress.com/ I would like to know what do you think!
You are an example for us of perseverance and hard work! Your content is useful and you are amazing and very close to us.
I look forward to seeing you in Spain! :)
Such a useful video, thank you! I’d already started my own blog but have been in such a lull with it recently - this vid has given me the boost and inspo I needed to really get back into it! Looking forward to the next in the series 🙌🏻 www.lifethroughawardrobe.com
So glad you're doing this blogger series! And I've got to admit...it's always nice to actually hear a successful blogger say they were a little bit crap in the beginning!! Still fairly new to this whole blogging thing, but your tips have seriously helped. So excited to keep going with it! My blog is www.madelaineblogs.com if you fancy taking a look!
Thank you so so much for this very helpful video! So kind of you to dedicate time to teach your experience to all of us! I have indeed started a blog, you can find it at www.marcbeau.com
Love,
Marco ❤️❤️
I have just found your channel and I am obsessed how have I not discovered you sooner. Secondly, thank you for this video! It was so helpful. My blog is a few months old and I wish this video came sooner for me because I have definitely experienced the name issue. I've decided to settle on : www.cheekymondays.blogspot.co.uk, but this will probably change again haha. Looking forward to the rest of the series! xx
Love that you’re doing this series! I just started my health website www.themodernhealthproject.com so i’m looking forward to all the tips & tricks :) xxx
Loved the video!! Great tipps for getting started. I always struggle with consistency. Since being a full time student, it is quite hard to stick to a schedule. However after watching this video, I’m definitely going to change that 💪🏼 Thank you for creating this informative video!
Love watching all of your videos ♥️

www.theminimalchic.com
Thanks for these tips. I started mine and I'm really enjoying it!
Absolutely love this video!
I have my own blog www.daniellesamanthawatson.com which is fashion, beauty and lifestyle.
I would love to know what you think! Videos like this can really help other bloggers and vloggers build in confidence! Xx
That's what it's all about ♥️ So glad you enjoyed it xxx
I absolutely love this video!! you have such a great personality!!💛
Hi Emma, I just watched your video and cannot wait until the next one. I have been toying with the idea of a blog for an age but its confidence and content I'm struggling with, although in saying that, I do instagram on a regular basis @allthingsginafied, but again its quick and a lot easier. I found your advice extremley informative albeit a little daunting when you actually hear aloud all the work that it entails. I appreciate the advice and will keep watching.
Another great and informative video Em!! Loving your 2018 vlogs, as always :) xxx
Hi Emma!
Thank you so much for making this video! I had a blog back in the day but stopped when I left uni - I recently launched a new blog last year and I've been loving every minute of it! I love your blog/ Insta/ TH-cam so much and the quality of your content is just amazing - you and Simon have done such a great job. You've been a huge inspiration for me starting my blog so I'd love for you to have a little look at it! It's www.phoebenickalls.com :)
Can't wait for more blogging tips from you! x
Oh, how can I wait until next month? ;) I absolutely appreciate your detailed video. I am so ready, ready to blog again. I was blogging before people knew it was even a thing. They would say, "blog?, what's a blog?" & laugh at the funny word. I sure wish I would have kept it up. Maybe I could be scooping up some moolah today. Your personality is adorable, btw.
Thank you so much for this video! So informative. It’s so nice of you to share all this! Hubby and I have been willing to start a blog for more than a year but thought we were not equipped enough. Now I see we actually got everything we need: the passion, the creativity and an iPhone 😊. Will come back and post our blog here when it get live. Quick question: we are French so do you think we should write in French or English? Thanks for your advice and I love your personality so I subbed! 😉
Really informative video! Thank you so much for sharing your tips and your experience in blogging! You’re an amazing person. Xx
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, I can't tell you how helpful this video is! I've been blogging for three years and sometimes I feel like it's just never going to happen for me but I love it so much so I push on! I can't wait to see the rest of your series! My blog is wayofwear.com and my Instagram is @wayofwear I would absolutely love it if you checked it out.
Claire X
P.s. I love your humor - I watch all of your vlogs! The porn comment made me giggle :P
I've only had my blog for about six months and really struggling to maintain a post a week whilst writing my dissertation but hopefully come summer I will have some more time to really focus on it. This video helped so much with getting my motivation back - Thank you Emma!!! My blog: lovefrommblog.wordpress.com/ xxxxx
Great video Emma, thank you for sharing ! It really informative and thorough. Your various tips on photography apps are a godsend for my blog which is still ‘under construction’ (so not available to the public) with Wordpress but hopefully will be ready to be published very soon. With my blog, which is called bonjourdiana.com, I hope to inspire women in their 50+ to remain beautiful, feminine, active and positive despite the many changes we go through during and after breast cancer and in life in general. 🌷
What an excellent idea behind a blog ♥️ I think blogs like this can like can really other change other people's lives, it's like a form of therapy and it's just bloody wonderful! Keep it up and thank you for sharing your link xxx
Emma Hill Thank you for your encouragement Emma!
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 ❤️
Don't know if you're still coming back to the comments here, but I absolutely loved this video! I've had my blog for almost 3 years and I've done most of these tips, but I can definitely see that I need to work a bit harder on it! Looking forward to the rest of the series!
betweenthehangers.com
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!
I know I basically comment every week but just wanted to say you are doing a great job! So informative! I find blogs are dwindling and it's all about the Gram! But I still love reading my favourites, Laura from BNBL is a Greta writer but she's solely Instagram now 😊
They are dwindling slightly for existing audiences but there are lots of people out there that still enjoy a good old blog read, and it's about finding those new audiences. My blog stats were amazing when I first started out, but as the years went on and more and more bloggers popped up they started to dip. Now that I've joined TH-cam they've almost trebled because of this new audience that have discovered me via TH-cam. The issue with Instagram is that it's not your space, you don't own it so you could be removed, hacked, deleted at any time, but a blog belongs to you and no algorithm can ever change that 👍🏼
@@EmmaHill Totally agree with you Emma! This goes for all social media platforms.
Hey Emma! Absolutely amazing video!! I feel like you covered everything someone would need to know to start with. I started my blog last October and it was such an eye opener. It is such hard work being a blogger! It was great to hear you go over some things which I have already experienced and doing a mental check. I am sooo looking forward to the next video in the series!! Thank you!!

P.S. I love watching you and Simon in vlogs, you two are hilarious!!!
Really enjoyed this. Thank you! Link load..... ;-P
