FYI for all my bloggers who use WordPress – I personally use & highly recommend using StudioPress to make life so much easier. It's an add-on to WordPress that handles site security, advanced SEO, and optimized performance, basically streamlines all the back-end tech stuff so you don't have to deal with it!

Thank you, very helpful video
OMG yes, the name brand is so so hard to find!! Still working on it!!
I always dreaded making a youtube channel because I'm scared of being judged but after reading Big Magic I really wanna try it!
I'm really thankful for this video and the tips, thank you Aileen! 😍
This was honestly life-changing for me. I have been wanting to create a blog to be able to help people by relating to them and motivating them through my life's experience. You are truly a god given gift to me. I always feel so inspired and motivated after watching your videos and you make me feel like I can be anything I want to be. To create my dream life. This video is going to be my basis for creating my blog soon after I finish my college. Thank you for everything that you do. I know its an old video of yours but still relevant even now and I'm not sure if you are even going read this comment but oh well I gotta say what I gotta say.
