I think that what hooked me at the beginning of your vlog was that you said (paraphrasing), "do it anyway because you want to share with the world. Forget about the money. That will come if you are passionate and helpful." You ARE helpful! Thanks again.

You're such a jovial and bubbly person and your tips are very informative. Your vibe and energy is so beautiful. I am gteatful that I stummbled upon your video as I was about to have a mental breakdown about being unable to launch my blog on the date it was scheduled for. I am even more shocked that a video you posted 4 years ago has come in so handy. Just goes to show that we should share our gifts and talents with the world because we never know who we will impact along the way...no matter how many years later. Thank you for this content. You are awesome. I hope you and loved ones are doing well during the pandemic. Stay safe. 🙏🏾

The stories they could recall about what it was like living in the early 1900s, going through WWI & WWII, my dad was in Korea, but they are all gone now and so are their stories. Please start your blog, tell your stories so your children and grandchildren can have them for all time.

    im trying to start a blog to bring like minded people together ,maybe even start a simple podcast as well. you will be surprised how many people would be interested to talk and share how they feel. just remember that you will need to listen to others and not make it all about you. be mindful of others and hopefully the same applies to other people. a delicate balance between everything. not sure what you are after in life, seeing how all I see is everyone wanting material things and forgetting about living and enjoying life. here its a rat race that I can not stand ,I despise and want out of myself. when you stop to enjoy life your living until then you are simply existing and working to send someone else on vacation while you sit and cover your rent and bills . sadly we are dependent on the government if you haven't learned how to provide for yourself. yes I am too. trying like hell to be happy with almost nothing . simple laptop, camera ,phone which I dont even want really, at my age I've now set sights on having just enough money each month to handle nesessities and leave here but still make a little keep going. so now that I shared lol hope everyone is doing alright .

    Hi, Meg!! This was a super helpful video. As a writer myself, I also have some tips of my own that have helped me tremendously and I would love to share them. 1. If you are totally stuck and don't know where to start, write Fanfiction! Seriously, this is how to start out on my writing journey when I was 15 years old. Was I good? Heck no, and you don't have to be! Just write whatever comes up. And I still do this to this very day. I know it sounds silly, but writing Fanfiction took me to write EVERYTHING, even though I don't have an official blog. and number 2. I've been writing for 10 years now and the thought of writing anything and having it be the greatest thing I've ever done is daunting, Don't let it stress you out!! Especially when I was A LOT younger. Now that's I'm in my 20s, it doesn't bother me nearly as much anymore! And I've learned a little trick to teach myself. It's OK if I don't have it all down well. Just starting it if you have something in mind, it doesn't have to be the greatest thing in the world. I hope these tips from me help anyone here. Happy Writing!!!!

I love my topic, so passionate about it, and just want to have fun sharing my experiences and lessons I’ve learned with the world. I started up on Wordpress, going to look into the Bloggers site you mentioned. Can’t wait, thanks again!

    Thank you so much for this! I've been writing most of my life and I'm just recently trying to get on the internet and into the blogging world, but I've had no idea where to start! I've considered it every few years and then I let my insecurities get the best of me and push it off. I've decided this time I'm going to go for it!! Your video really helped me because I am starting completely at square one! I don't have a nitch, I write about a large variety of topics and that's what made me so hesitant to start because I kept hearing "you NEED to have a nitch" but I felt like that put me in a box. This video gave me the confidence to start a blog which I will be doing later today:)

    Thank you for posting this video! I really enjoyed it. You answered so many of my questions. During the quarantine, I wrote a "Silver Linings Section" for the Daily Bulletin I posted online for the high school where I work (I'm the receptionist) to keep the students' and parents' focused on some of the good in the world--despite the fact we had to practice being safer-at-home, etc. When the school year ended, I had quite a few people tell me they enjoyed my silver linings and that I should blog. I just didn't know how/where to begin... Watching your video really helped. I'm going to start a blog... Maybe today! :)

    I think that now is the best time to start a blog, because of the Corona craze and I truly believe that internet is the future. So people who would like to survive, should start making a blog now ASAP! Because you never know what will happen in the future. ANd it is always better to be prepared. From my experience I think that blog is a must in todays society, and you can make money by writing about topics you like! The next step would be to connect blog with KZread video channel and by combining those two traffic channels will create surge of free traffic. And when you learn how to master the art of traffic generation, you will be ready for anything. So am very happy you have made this video for people and I think it teaches some of the basics really well. Keep up the great job! 🙏❤👌

    Great video! This has pushed me to start a blog. You are completely right, everyone's life is unlike everyone else's. We all have amazing experiences to share. I will look into the blogger website instead of wordpress and see which one I like the best out of the two. Thank you for the insightful video ❤
