Great advice! We’re now a month into our blog. For years, we’ve posted our food on our personal Facebook pages, and our friends finally convinced us to make the jump into blogging. We’re having a blast learning everything you mentioned. The first affiliate rejection was tough, and then came the second, third, fourth… OUCH. But finally, a few came through and saved us emotionally—lol. Everything you’ve said here aligns with our experience. We’ll definitely be checking out more of your content! Thanks so much!

I've been wanting to start a food blog, and I HATE looking like I'm "trying too hard" in front of people so I told myself I'd start commenting and outwardly supporting creators I like even if it's just me commenting on a video so I can work on it! So, in a promise to myself I just want to say you're SO right for all of this info. Am I weird for being even more motivated from hearing all this? LOL. I took a look at your website and I LOVE the format, and your photos are absolutely beautiful. I hope whatever you're working on is as successful as what you dream it to be.

This was a great video and very accurate! I’m a food blogger and I definitely went into it all with no knowledge of how difficult, how much work and how hard it all would be. I was picturing like a Facebook where you just do the writing and pictures so finding I had to RUN a website was very shocking haha. I love it now but things do constantly change and I know there are still lots of things I should be doing that I’m not doing correctly. Your video was very honest and filled with great information and points to think about when starting a food blog.

Hi Leonora, Love your content and I was planning to start a food blog and for that I was just thinking the name from 3 days and finally, we found the name but my co-worker advised me that this is a very tough field/niche and the competition is very high in this niche therefore we decided to move another niche which will be "Wildlife & Pets" so I need your suggestion that should we go with this wildlife niche for Because, my co-worker has a vast knowledge about "WILDLIFE & PETS" and he loved to write and read blogs on these niches. But, I want your suggestions that should we go with this niche or not...?

Stop discouraging people girl .. Get better content

Been doing so much research about starting a food blog. Though according your points, I’m at least 70 percent ready to start one. But why do I feel discouraged 💔
