I love that you are a stability person I want stability and I started my blog today and it feels really good 😊 thank you for your support ❤

I just love your energy. I am usually quite reserved towards people who tell me how to do thigs better, but you are just so authentic that I could listen to you all day

Hi i went onto your website last night and downloaded your ebook, thank you x But when i tried to sign up for your email ie like new content and blog notifications the page wouldn't load, now I'm in UK and it was the early twilight hours so perhaps it was an internet hiccup! All the best x

Hello Nakisha. Do you offer a course?

Wow. Our stories are so so similar. Except for the successful part. Haha.

New sub here, girl you got it going on! Love what youre doing for yourself, you are inspiring and im glad you know that you are gifted when it comes to talking to an audience!

Youre amazing! Youre helping me so much. Thank you, God bless u as u bless others 💞

I’m so happy to see you are back and well, Nakisha!

I'm not a mom, but it was recently put on my spirit to start a blog. I was trying to do a lot of research before I take the jump and stumbled on your channel. Long story short, its been a 2 week binge watch haha! The resources you've shared across multiple videos, including this one, have been invaluable and I appreciate you so much! I just wanted to let you know 🙂

Sis… you just got me all the way together. Thank you!🙏🏽

This was such an amazing video and I love your personality!!

Hey! Just found you today 👋🏾👋🏾

Hi Nakisha! New subscriber here from New York. I found you while searching for info on blogging. Already love your channel and your energy! I greatly appreciate the tips you are sharing. Thank you 😊

I get so much inspiration from you! Thank you for all that you share! ❤

This was so good! I’ve been blogging for some time and SEO has been such a struggle. I really was ready to quit blogging cause nothing is happening ( especially but as fast as I want) but blogging is a journey. I just hope the vision I have for it comes to the light one of these days. Thank you for sharing your journey!

I'm scared that when I start, its going to be a desert and people won't be interested cryinggggg

Hello,
My friend is starting a Instagram (nadiab_thrivin) vlog about mental health, fitness and General life. I was hoping I could get her some traction with promoting her page a little. I was hoping not only to promote her page but also wanted to ask if you could make a video on how to promote fitness pages/vlogs and how to expand, grow and create interactive posts etc.
Enjoy the channel and the videos you post!

Handle: nadiab_thrivin

Excellent 👌

I’ll be following the build your blog for sure and visiting your page. 💕💕 can’t wait for an update!

Girrrlll, I don't even let you start talking and Im pressing the thumbs up. Like is there a way to multiple thumbs up a video🤔…thank you for being a LIGHT in this dank entrepreneurial world lol.😋 🧡

Awesome

I've always wanted to reach out for your services to help with my blog/youtube/writing etc, but wanted to make sure I got established. I just KNOW you can help

I wonder how many of us bloggers have have the moment of "Wait, SEO doesn't just happen? I have to do something?" I know for me I saw that my web host had "SEO Optimization" and I figured that was it. Whoops! LOL.

Based on your vid it sounds like the whole SEO/Pinterest thing might be something I'm a bit ahead of you on in my journey. Let me know if you want some pointers on tools and people I've found to be helpful. Your videos have been so helpful to me I'd love to pay it forward as it were. If you're interested let me know and we can coordinate in email or Instagram DMs or something. If not no harm no foul, as I say just happy to help if I can. Otherwise just happy to help your video in the algorithm. =)

Can you actually make a video or a blog post on how you got your first 10,000 views on your blog? Lessons you have learned, things you would do differently?

I have to give credit where credit is due, and Ms. Nakisha you deserve credit. You are one of the most absolute transparent people I have come across here on YouTube. I wish you the best of luck on this new venture. I adore you and your channel keep it up! 👏💕

I am Interested in blogging as well. You are a petri dish for blogging / SEO / optimizing your posts. I cannot wait to hear about your successes and how you got there. Pinterest seems to be big when driving traffic.

Loved this! This was so encouraging. Especially hearing you talk about not giving up when things aren’t working , you just have to find another way around it. If you don’t have that passion it will never work. Currently changing my whole entire blog setup now I want to focus on monetizing it

Thanks for more great tips! I'm starting a blog and you are my go to girl! ❤️ When did you start working with brands for your blog? Did you have a certain number of page views before you begin reaching out to brands?

I'm excited to watch your process! It's rare to find a creator that shares the actual process while going through the process. Usually people share after the fact. So, I think this is a really cool, unique idea to share in "real time."

Need this, thank you!🙌🏾
I've been a little stuck. I've had my blog for the last 3 years, but only since last year I have consistently wrote and published 2 posts a week!! This is the bit I enjoy the most and half heartedly focused on other things. I have seen my page views double, but they haven't reached 1,000 YET ( the fact you say yours is 10, 000 plus is staggering!! ). The ads bit is interesting because there's conflicting info about this whether it should be done or not, but as a lot of my products I review are from small companies or not available with affiliate marketing this maybe something to take seriously🤔

Content is absolute gold as always!!!x

Thanks for this! I started a blog and abandoned it but I have been researching hard about how to get it going again!

Can I do a keyword research for you. I will do it for free. You can then write a brand new blog post for that.

Thank you Ms. Wynn hunny!

Yes! ⚖ Scale on up with brands rather than stopping at the previous destination

I swear we on the same frequency. I was just watching a video before u popped up and im like why my girl dont got ads, because she’s good ? Now look !!!! Thanks for your transparency. Im so excited for u. Thanks for everything. Love you girl !!!
