A few weeks ago I went over my weekly schedule now that I've built my blog into a business but a frequent question I get a lot is what my first year blogging schedule was. let me tell you, it was sooo different.
I was a full-time college student when I first started my blog but knew I had to treat it like a real job. I time-blocked my time so I could make sure i was making time for my blog, just like i would any other job.
i even found my old blogging binder that was a gold mine of information! so crazy to look back on 🤯🤯 hope you enjoy this one!

If you're in your first year of blogging, what does your schedule look like? i love hearing how other people schedule out their time!!
SAHM here who is trying to manage four kids and work on my blog. I love schedules but just can not carve out a specific time daily to do so. Thank you for this video, it helped me to know that a set schedule van help!
I was working on my blog throughout college too! When I was a junior. I used to work on my blog in between gap times of waiting for my next class from my last one and then I would continue it after I was done working on homework at night. I did it daily and I was so excited to get to it. It was the best thing that got me under control of the stressful times during my life that time. However, those first years were trial and error because I did not do SEO properly (because it was just a hobby at first) so I had to redo them throughout time but it was much easier to work with something than to restart from nothing. 5 years later, I'm still blogging and getting paid for it now!
Please do the bonus !!!
@@monicariske literally the same! I had such huge success in the past and Covid kinda killed my big contracts. I regrouped and relaunched my business and it very much involves blogging this go-around. So I feel like I’m a newbie all over again, with four babies (one with special needs). I’m working full time on my blog and wow it takes so much time. My days go by so fast right now, Lol! We can do it though! Cheering you on 👏
@@girlplanted thanks for the shout out! Oh my gosh it is a journey!!!!! 😘
I'm in my first year of blogging and I treat it like a full time job! I do three blog posts per week and spend most of my time writing blog posts. Like you said, I focus on posts that will get views, affiliate revenue, or people on my email list. It is very strategic!!! And I focus on Pinterest too.
How much time would you say you spend a week?
I try for three a week, too! Going strong for now, hoping it keeps up haha :)
@@kiraviolet1563 how is the blogging going now? Have you learned anything you'd be willing to share?
Hi! How is your blogging going now after several months?
If you’re a new blogger, how do you know which blogs will lead to affiliate links or generate ads? Surely none will at the beginning?
I love how dedicated you were to your blog! So inspiring
Love the content and you are so honest and up front about everything. Awesome and thank you!
I love this video! I just started my blog in November and I love it and your courses!
Yes add bonuses to the course!! I’d love to see it all
Thanks for sharing your genius with us, Sophia! I’m so happy I found you. Such an inspiration ♥️✨
I resonate with you so much! Love your personality!!
Thank you, Sophia! I restarted my blog last year talking about interior design and a few lifestyle topics. Despite starting in 2016 as a Hobby, It was until in 2021 I started being serious about writing after being focused on work and then working as a Freelance interior Designer and then having a small team, not until 2020, I am able to have some time to re-think what my other passions were about and thought of re-start my blog again and this time think of it like a business than a hobby itself and since then things are more manageable which I thought it wasn't and still finding ways to make it better, especially on the work process.
I'm glad to see your blog on Pinterest which led me to your TH-cam Channel and learn about blogging. Keep going on your journey! Kudos to you and your team!
You are so inspirational ❤ I have started my own blog and am taking lots of tips from your video even if I have to watch it over again. It has given me the push...Thank you.
Thank you for sharing how you got started! 🌞
The way you described how you work is exactly how I work. I had to do time blocking in law school. I need to implement time blocking for my blog.
Thank you for sharing this! I love hearing about how you schedule your day.
I’ve gotten a good amount of grief for being “so scheduled,” and it’s like, “You know what?!? This is how I can do all the things I wanna do!!!”
Appreciate you and these BTS videos so much!!
Love love love these videos SO HELPFUL and inspirational & ps I have both your courses
Sophia, please start an organizational/self improvement podcast (if you have time) lol. Your videos are so motivational especially for me as a 23 year old blogger.
Here’s a review for people that consider taking your course:
I took your course back in December & used to rewrite blogs that I already had written. Because the first time i wrote it, i had no clue what i was doing. I followed most of your recommendations. The one blog that i rewrote is already on the 2nd page of google.
Please keep in mind that my website is aged. So that might play a role why it ranked so well when i rewrote it. But i think your course def helped. I also bought the pinterest course but haven’t looked at it yet. But i def need to because i suck on pinterest lol . thanks for sharing your content.
Hi! How are things going after several months?
@@oOaphroditeOo i am ranking on the first page one of my blogs. i never completed the pinterest course though. becuase i felt so overwhelmed with the other sm platforms. but i think her course is worth it.
I'm a little over my year mark of blogging and those first couple of months (okay honestly the first 6 months) I wasn't taking it that seriously or thinking about the money-content side of things when I would write. Since then I've tried to be a lot more intentional with what I'm putting out there and my ROI, currently my blogging schedule looks like this:
5:30-8am Monday, Wednesday, Thursday mornings
Monday: write an email, create pins for last week's post, post to Pinterest
Wednesday & Thursday: write a blog post for this week
I love the emphasis on writing a blog post only if it gets the reader to sign up for your email list, drives them toward an affiliate sale, or generates ad revenue. So helpful to think of moving forward!
Your energy is so epic and intriguing :) So good! :)
Can't say it enough YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
Thanks for the great tips. It’s so important to treat a blog as a business
Listen! I would BUY just the scans of this binder 😂😂😂
Yes!!! I LOVE both your courses! I have completed them both and am rewatching them as I’m implementing everything
Hi! How did everything go after several months?
Thank you. This was helpful. 😊
watching this as a rest break while writing my content strategy
i’ve had a blog since 2009. i started really posting more regularly this year. i used to write whenever i felt like i had something to say. i would go weeks sometimes months without posting, but i wanted that to change since i knew i wasn’t going to get readers if i wasn’t going to post on a regular basis. this year, i plan on posting at least once a week for a year to see if that helps with getting more readers.
I was a pro-blogger from 2010 to 2012 and continued earning monthly income from that effort until 2019 when my sites received a redirect hack. When I started I worked full time and could only devote an hour a day to it. I made very little progress. But at the beginning of 2012 the company I worked for was acquired by another company. They came in and literally said, “stop what you’re doing until this acquisition is finalized. So for an entire month, I went to the office and blogged full time, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I was shocked at how much a person can accomplish when the mind can remain focused on a single task.
I started posting regularly six months ago and I work with some freelancers. I write the blog posts the day before they are posted (we post twice a week). Every day, I proofread copy for Instagram written by our Social Media Manager, and once a week I check the pins she made.
i bought my website last April and i'm just starting now because i got overwhelmed about things, so many what-ifs, and not-so-encouraging moments in my life. and now, im finally starting again and only because i saw your vid!!!! T __ T i wish we all beginner bloggers can make it through and be successful, too < 33
I work full-time, so weekend/weekend-ish times are when I get my content creation going (blog and TH-cam). Thursday night, TH-cam. Sunday, blog post. Monday, blog post. As a musician, I think it works pretty well for my audience, too, who thrives on the weekends as well. ;)
I’ve just signed up to your course. I’m so ready to stop playing with my blog and treat it like a business ☺️
how was it??
Very helpful 💙
Can you share how you get your energy & motivation to keep being as productive as you are? It's so amazing. 😊
All of your content was super helpful, thank you, but also - you are SUPER gorgeous!!! like classic movie star beautiful!!
Omg.. I am struggling with all of this so much.. too many of channels to work on and too difficult to prioritize…. This is helpful of course, it’s just that the decision is too hard .. 🙈🥰
I dont usually comment on videos. But your experience was really helpful' Thank you for sharing👍😊
i wish i had your mentality when i was in college.
This woman is gorgeous omg
That's so crazy it happened on my birthday.. Ok that way my sign I need to do this!!
yes!!! 👏
you have a lot of self discipline
Should I wait to start pins until I have my website up and running? Or how did you start that?
Where can we actually read your blog? I don’t see a link for it. What do you write about? Can you do a video on narrowing down your blog content?
so basicly you’re telling me to stop wasting my time on fb & ig 😂😂😂
Basically!!!
Wow
Technically
Hey there, what was some of the first things you wrote about when starting your blog ?
Hi! I want to start blogging, but my imagination went wild & have multiple niche (food, travel, living alone & etc). Do you recommend to have individual website on each or join all of it in one?
Anyone ever tell you, you kinda look like Jennifer Lawrence ? Great video
I was trying to follow but how many hours on average did you spend a week committing to blog weekly the first year?
I love your tips!
Question if I may... I have a blog with 128 published posts and am just learning SEO. Should I unpublish posts until they are SEO good or leave them and update one at a time? TIA!
I would leave them and just update them one at a time. That's what I did! Because you never know what post someone finds can still be useful to them to stick around to your site.
One of my posts absolutely sucked with getting views and then all of a sudden it shot up to my 4th most viewed post and my number one post that gets the most purchases lol. You never know what will happen.
Leave them! And update 1 at a time.
I did this after taking Sophia’s course, and a lot of those posts ranked SUPER fast. They had a combination of being published a long time ++ the right formula
Leave them and update one at a time
Hi, may I ask what is your major? I wonder if that was related to interior design?
Pro-tip: If you the person that's suppose to be mentoring you/me/us sounds like they're recording from a public bathroom...... switch channels.
Thanks I just started watching you I still don’t know what a blog is?? I sound so stupid and I’m not I just don’t know what a blog us I’m disabled but I do Door Dash and I’m starting school on the 13th of January 2023 in bc 53 years old and I want get something going so I’ll have other income so if you can shed sone light I would appreciate it!! Have a merry Christmas Mia 19:02
What is the difference between a website and a blog?
Has anyone took income schools blog course? And if so do you recommend it?
Yes, I’m a member of P24 and I highly recommend it. Let me know if you have any questions about it and I’ll do my best to help 👍
hey ... which courses did you take (I struggle to see which courses are really helpfull)
Hers!
She did a video on courses! I would search this
Hey friend. So I'm a stay at home mom and I Need to learn/start a blog to help make money for our family. Problem is we are crazy broke and I don't know if it's possible to do it. Can you help, like legitimately? I have found a handful of coarses I'd like to take to be walked through things and learn etc. But like I said we are barely covering essential things like rent. I'm desperate for help because I need to make it happen some how. I've asked other bloggers I follow for help and recieve only short answers that make no money or people telling me you can't do it if you don't have experience or a camera other then your phone and iPad etc.
I would find a job first so you’re not stressing over extra expenses, then purchase an affordable course to learn how to get started. It takes a while to make money from blogging and sounds like you need it more urgently.
@@StrawberryJamJam29 I agree!! I've been struggling recently finding jobs, and decided to start my own blog and take my youtube more serious. But realized I need money to make more money.
Love this honesty!!
In her videos, Sophia talks about how she did extra things to make money (nannying, secret shopping, etc) to earn money to buy a course.
Blogging is a long game, and you don’t make money overnight.
I agree with the other folks in this thread to get a PT job (use UberEats, rover, etc,for one that’s flexible), and then use that money to invest!
Also, I’ve taken other courses + attended conferences. I recommend Sophia’s courses 10000%
This is all great advice. I think you should look at your budget and see where you can cut and get really clear on where your miscellaneous spending is going. Then add a part time job like doordash etc. that has been shared. You can also do little things for cashback based on things you already do or places you already shop. Courses can help but until you have the extra money there are tons of free resources you can use.
You can do it. It just takes time. Look for free resources on how to start blogging then look at marketing. There is such alot to learn on blogging and how to make money. One person can't teach you everything you need to find the information yourself xx.
Do you think that as a beginner blogger posting twice a month is enough? (Two posts per month)
Did your dormmates ever ask you why you wake up so early or wonder why you're always on your computer? lol Did you hang out with your dormmates with your busy schedule?
22 credits and worked and ran a blog? Riiiiiiiiiiighggggghhhhtttttttt
I just read the comments and it seems like there are a lot of people in the same boat on beginning blogging. You should create a Facebook group so we could all help each other? I’m interested in your course but it would be nice to hear how other people started. I just started a blog and I really like it but I need to figure out how to drive traffic to it
When you purchase one of the BSL courses, you get access to our facebook group! It's such an amazing community 😊
