Dear Lisa, I found your videos very helpful and you encouraged me to write about the topics I’m passionate about. I get cca. 500 page views on a daily basis with about 50 articles, yet I’m not earning anything with AdSense (on a user-generated content site). My mistake was that I went off my main topic, and the result was having multiple non-related articles. My only problem now is that my main topics aren’t based on high-paying keywords
I really appreciated you sharing this information with me. I have been attending college online and I have been debating dropping out and starting my own business but that key sentence you mentioned was being passionate about something stuck out in my mind.
You know i think this applies to all types of channels not just Bloggers. I am a GAMER and i have always thought that if im commentating over a game and im talking about the “lag” probably the most common subject for gaming videos. It becomes grey and boring.I talk about EVERYTHING just new stuff i think that if me talking about doest make me excited then it wont make YouTubers excited!
I have been following your videos for sometime now and you are absolutely right!! I have three interests that really are charging me to do something with them. One of them is based around my first book America vs. America and comparing old and new American cultures. Plus, the site will include books on Debt tips and tips to make America shine again. I want to do this. Not SEO or money making. I also am a musician and fiction writer too and want to write on those. What do you think?
Hey Lisa! Insightful and wise as always. What I’ve found is that topics seem to come in trends. This month’s topic for a lot of blogging sites is “finding your blog’s purpose”. Good advice, but everybody’s doing it. My new angle on my blog is to write about “finding YOUR purpose”. What end results do you want your blog to achieve for you? Knowing what YOUR purpose is makes targeting your niche market a lot simpler and successful because you’ll produce content people want to read naturally.
Hey Lisa, I’ve been following you for a while now (this is my other account) and I’ve listened to your wise words.
It had sparked an idea for me a site that would interest me because CONTENT is everything.
I remember you saying this in one of the old videos, really hit the nail. Will see if the site becomes successful but if it dont then this was a great exprience for me as it was the first proper site I’ve built (learned everything myself)
its called mw3insight

(btw I going to expand the topic soon cause not everyone will be interested in this small topic)
Thank you, that the help I need. I was force to make a blog for my English class. To be honest I don’t know what was a blog, my teacher assumed everyone knew about it because everyone have a facebook and twitter ( which I don’t them). I’m was thinking of designing a website for me and my sister. Now I have to put that on hold until I’m off of school.
My parents bought dreamweaver I think for my brother to use in University. I am considering using it to create my own site. Would you recommend that book on the shelf behind you ‘dreamweaver for dummies’ since I am not really familiar with the software. I love your videos. Keep up the good work ; )
Hi Lisa, thanks for the info. I’m a video blogger in the Philippines and yes I’am struggling.. I did it because at first I want to earn money but I was rejected many times by AdSense but it’s ok.. Now Im doing it because I love doing it and it makes me really really happy.. Thanks again for sharing!
@AmericanCoinHunting It just comes with the territory. Not everyone is going to like everything you do so you just have to roll with it. But one thing’s for sure, I don’t let it bother me. YouTubers must have thick skin as I’m sure you can relate. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips Lisa…I have taken your earlier video advice & am now a (Mostly) A Full time Macbook Pro user..Using imovie 11,& Final cut pro 10 ,to make my videos…It is so much easier now that I am used to it..BUT …I don’t understand all the thumbs downs on your videos..Unless it is those jealous people that can not connect with other You Tubers…I get about 4-5% thumbs down on My good traffic videos as well…Thanks again & best of Luck to you Lisa …Dave
