  1. 0:00Well, hello there. Are you ready for
  2. 0:02this conversation? Let’s get started.
  3. 0:05If you are someone listening to me now
  4. 0:07who is planning to start a blog, or you
  5. 0:08have been growing your blog for quite
  6. 0:10some time but aren't quite getting the
  7. 0:12results you want, I want to say that a
  8. 0:14blog in 2027 is not the same as the
  9. 0:15blogs we used to see, because you may
  10. 0:17have already noticed that the tools that
  11. 0:19worked before have stopped working.
  12. 0:22But what should be new is not yet
  13. 0:24entirely clear. It is precisely because
  14. 0:26we are in this middle ground that it
  15. 0:28becomes unclear how to develop right now
  16. 0:30. And that, accordingly, is what I want
  17. 0:32to discuss. In this video, I will show
  18. 0:33you how to develop your blog in a new
  19. 0:34way, specifically in this unknown new
  20. 0:36territory, and how to move forward. I
  21. 0:37have my own theory on this and,
  22. 0:39accordingly, my own current results as
  23. 0:41well. Most importantly, I want to
  24. 0:42discuss with you why what is happening
  25. 0:44is happening and why we cannot figure
  26. 0:46out what we should be doing, because
  27. 0:48that is also an important point. It is
  28. 0:50also worth discussing why you should
  29. 0:51even believe me in principle. I believe
  30. 0:53that the numbers on my social networks
  31. 0:55will tell you much more than I could say
  32. 0:56myself. I manage four social networks
  33. 0:58simultaneously. Of note. I started, in
  34. 1:00principle, originally with TikTok. This
  35. 1:02is my main social network. But I simply
  36. 1:04took the knowledge I had from TikTok and
  37. 1:06transferred it to other platforms, and
  38. 1:08you see what you see.
  39. 1:10I was the same person who also once
  40. 1:11started from scratch, so I absolutely
  41. 1:13understand the emotions of people who
  42. 1:15burn out at some point, abandon their
  43. 1:16blogs, and don't understand why they
  44. 1:18aren't getting results.
  45. 1:19I have been through all of this,
  46. 1:21considering that I have different topics
  47. 1:22across different accounts. For example,
  48. 1:24I have two TikToks: one is
  49. 1:26influencer-focused where I work with
  50. 1:28brands, and in the other, I help guys
  51. 1:30develop their blogs.
  52. 1:32So, to say that I succeed simply because
  53. 1:34I tell others what to do to succeed is
  54. 1:37not true.
  55. 1:38I understand how to get views when you
  56. 1:40don’t say a word. I understand how to
  57. 1:42get views as a blogger. In short, the
  58. 1:44experience is there. Before we move on
  59. 1:46to these steps, I want us to make sure
  60. 1:48that we are on the same page. The things
  61. 1:50that I see, you also notice, because
  62. 1:52this is a fundamental principle for
  63. 1:54understanding the era of the new blog.
  64. 1:56And what will our blog look like in 2027
  65. 1:58? First of all, have you noticed that
  66. 1:59our content has become quite monotonous
  67. 2:00? You open your feed, and everything is
  68. 2:02just the same. I mean, we have trends
  69. 2:04that absolutely everyone is doing, and
  70. 2:06that is the majority of what we see. So
  71. 2:08there is no individuality, and you just
  72. 2:10see one person copying another. And,
  73. 2:12essentially, that is what shapes our
  74. 2:14recommendation feed. Second, have you
  75. 2:15noticed that the useful content we’ve
  76. 2:17grown accustomed to isn't really working
  77. 2:19anymore? I mean, those openers—five
  78. 2:21reasons why or five tips—are, you know,
  79. 2:23already somewhat ineffective. It's not
  80. 2:25very interesting to watch because
  81. 2:26there’s a feeling that, at the very
  82. 2:28least, every second person is talking
  83. 2:30about it, and at most, not everyone digs
  84. 2:32deep into actually understanding what a
  85. 2:33person needs.
  86. 2:35They just say something useful, but it's
  87. 2:36somehow uninteresting, and you just want
  88. 2:38to scroll past it. Third. Artificial
  89. 2:40intelligence, of course, has entered the
  90. 2:41game, and we feel a strong aversion to
  91. 2:43what is not genuine. If you've noticed
  92. 2:45for yourself that as soon as you see
  93. 2:46someone using AI, for instance, when
  94. 2:48they start writing AI-generated text, we
  95. 2:50immediately go into denial—we don't want
  96. 2:53to read it. We can tell when even a
  97. 2:54script is built by, you know, artificial
  98. 2:56intelligence, where it’s all so
  99. 2:57thought-out, okay, everything is
  100. 2:58basically perfect—we don't want to see
  101. 3:00that. I'm not even talking about those
  102. 3:02AI videos that, well, immediately put
  103. 3:04you off because it's not a real person.
  104. 3:07If you feel that too, that there is some
  105. 3:08kind of rejection, then you are with me
  106. 3:09. The next point worth noting is that
  107. 3:12people who never intended to start blogs
  108. 3:14are now doing so simply because we live
  109. 3:15in such times.
  110. 3:17Lawyers, accountants, doctors, and just
  111. 3:19people who never planned on it—they
  112. 3:20weren't taught in university that they
  113. 3:22needed to do this. Now it feels like a
  114. 3:25necessity. The sad part is, if a person
  115. 3:27is a good specialist but doesn't have a
  116. 3:29developed Instagram or TikTok, for
  117. 3:30example, they won't get as many clients
  118. 3:32as a potentially questionable specialist
  119. 3:34who does have an audience. We just live
  120. 3:36in such a world. That's how it works.
  121. 3:38And last but not least, people have
  122. 3:39started burning out much faster from the
  123. 3:41fact that they started creating content
  124. 3:43. Many have been running their blogs for
  125. 3:45years, some for months, but they are
  126. 3:46united by one thing: they put in the
  127. 3:48effort but don't see the results, while
  128. 3:50everyone else seems to get them quickly
  129. 3:51for some reason.
  130. 3:53You wanted to develop your blog from the
  131. 3:56heart, intuitively, the way you wanted
  132. 3:58to, but you see others using typical,
  133. 4:00soulless tools that seem to work faster
  134. 4:03, while your authentic blog, the one you
  135. 4:05truly wanted, just isn't growing.
  136. 4:08This is, of course, disappointing and
  137. 4:10creates a huge urge to give up on
  138. 4:11blogging entirely. And in general, if
  139. 4:13you look at the big picture, this is
  140. 4:15exactly what forces blogs to change. We
  141. 4:17have certain trends that we are going to
  142. 4:19see in the coming year.
  143. 4:21I think that the steps I'm about to
  144. 4:23mention will continue even further,
  145. 4:24because the further we go, and the
  146. 4:26faster more content is created, the more
  147. 4:28effective these points become. So, if
  148. 4:31you agree with most of the things I’m
  149. 4:33saying, it means we are on the same
  150. 4:35wavelength. And now we can get to what
  151. 4:37you should do with your blog so that it
  152. 4:39finally becomes successful, while still
  153. 4:41remaining yours. First of all, a
  154. 4:42successful blog is one that stops
  155. 4:43looking at its own content through the
  156. 4:45eyes of others. I perfectly understand
  157. 4:47your feelings when you decided to start
  158. 4:48a new blog for yourself. When I joined
  159. 4:50TikTok, I came there because I thought
  160. 4:52my friends weren't there, and
  161. 4:54consequently, I could develop without
  162. 4:56prying eyes. But when my friends started
  163. 4:58following me, they found me somehow, and
  164. 5:00my social circle started seeing me there
  165. 5:02, I noticed that I began to feel
  166. 5:04constrained in how I expressed myself. I
  167. 5:06started speaking in a way that was more
  168. 5:08comfortable for them than it was for me
  169. 5:10. And I certainly wasn't speaking in a
  170. 5:12way that would garner views. I wanted to
  171. 5:14say things in a way that would please
  172. 5:15everyone. So if we want to create a blog
  173. 5:17for the new era that truly grabs
  174. 5:19attention, this blog must be as much
  175. 5:21about us as possible.
  176. 5:23And when we try to please everyone,
  177. 5:25let's say, if we are the kind of person
  178. 5:27who likes to talk boldly and curse in
  179. 5:29our content, we worry that our parents
  180. 5:31will watch it and say it's bad; or if we
  181. 5:34start using cool editing tools or hooks
  182. 5:36, our friends might say, "Man, why are
  183. 5:38you taking this so seriously?"
  184. 5:41In general, when you start thinking
  185. 5:43about who might make adjustments to your
  186. 5:45videos or the posts you make, you need
  187. 5:47to stop yourself and quit looking
  188. 5:49through their lens, because that's how
  189. 5:51you lose your personality, and we
  190. 5:53specifically need to create a blog that
  191. 5:55has that personality. So, stop doing
  192. 5:57that. And in this step, I will
  193. 5:58definitely give you a practical part
  194. 6:00that will help you understand how deeply
  195. 6:01you are actually influenced by your
  196. 6:03environment. Just look at the videos you
  197. 6:05have, or look at what you’ve already
  198. 6:07created but haven't posted, and
  199. 6:09literally answer the question: in which
  200. 6:11moments was I trying to please others?
  201. 6:13For example, you chose a hook that, in
  202. 6:15reality, would be comfortable for
  203. 6:16everyone.
  204. 6:17It’s less bold, perhaps less provocative
  205. 6:19, or not quite "you," but it's proper,
  206. 6:21it's good.
  207. 6:22Here, perhaps you're thinking about what
  208. 6:24others will think, that it will be
  209. 6:26somehow awkward or uncomfortable. The
  210. 6:27same applies to your appearance, that
  211. 6:29you feel somewhat self-conscious. In
  212. 6:31short, look at this honestly from the
  213. 6:33outside: where were your own decisions,
  214. 6:35and where were the decisions where you
  215. 6:36were trying to please others? The second
  216. 6:38important step. Separate yourself from
  217. 6:40your numbers. By the way, I’ve already
  218. 6:41talked about a similar point in a video
  219. 6:43about finances, as I manage several
  220. 6:44social media accounts. Naturally, the
  221. 6:45financial side is important to me so
  222. 6:47that I can build my capital and not lose
  223. 6:49all my money while I’m earning from my
  224. 6:51blog. That’s why I started working on
  225. 6:53this and also decided to release a video
  226. 6:54about it. So, if you also have problems
  227. 6:56with finances, I share my advice there.
  228. 6:58But what’s the point? There, I also said
  229. 7:00that people very often associate
  230. 7:02themselves with their money. Like, if
  231. 7:04there’s not enough money, I’m not really
  232. 7:06that great. If there’s a lot of money,
  233. 7:08I’m cool. Believe me, with views,
  234. 7:09everything happens exactly the same way
  235. 7:10. The most interesting thing is that our
  236. 7:12solution isn't to stop looking at
  237. 7:13statistics. On the contrary, it’s to
  238. 7:15look at statistics in a way that doesn't
  239. 7:17affect us. That is, you should instead
  240. 7:19analyze what is happening with you,
  241. 7:20always be open to it, but never think
  242. 7:22that if views are low, then something is
  243. 7:24wrong with you. It is simply an
  244. 7:26indicator that your content needs to be
  245. 7:28refined for your audience so that they
  246. 7:30find it interesting. We will talk more
  247. 7:32about this in the following steps. Well
  248. 7:34, basically, the point is that when you
  249. 7:36start projecting the result in views
  250. 7:38that you see onto yourself, you are just
  251. 7:40hindering yourself and burning out.
  252. 7:42Because, of course, it is hard to see
  253. 7:44when the results are disappointing, but
  254. 7:46it is even harder if you think that,
  255. 7:48well, this is all yours, it is a part of
  256. 7:51you. If you have 300 views, every time
  257. 7:53you will think worse of yourself. And
  258. 7:55you will become disappointed in yourself
  259. 7:56. When you start to separate statistics
  260. 7:58from your personality and not connect
  261. 8:00them together, you will be able to
  262. 8:02calmly and normally analyze what you are
  263. 8:04achieving. Because without analyzing the
  264. 8:06results and statistics that you see in
  265. 8:08your blog, unfortunately, we cannot go
  266. 8:10anywhere. Avoid burnout at work if
  267. 8:12possible. The next step for our
  268. 8:14successful modern-era blog. You need to
  269. 8:16work not with algorithms, but with
  270. 8:17people's attention. And just carve this
  271. 8:20onto a piece of paper, just stick it on
  272. 8:22the wall, because this step is just
  273. 8:24about the most important one.
  274. 8:26Dozens of people come to me every day
  275. 8:28saying that their account is somehow not
  276. 8:30right, that the social network dislikes
  277. 8:31them, TikTok doesn't like me, Instagram
  278. 8:33doesn't like me, I'm being throttled.
  279. 8:35In reality, it is always very simple,
  280. 8:37but at the same time, it is not a very
  281. 8:39pleasant answer, I think, because the
  282. 8:40whole problem is in the content and the
  283. 8:42algorithm never had a problem with that
  284. 8:44. Naturally, there are technical aspects
  285. 8:46where your account might have some
  286. 8:48issues, but believe me, they are very
  287. 8:49obvious. If your views are being cut to
  288. 8:51zero, say a maximum of 100 views, indeed
  289. 8:53, that might be an indicator that there
  290. 8:55are some issues with the account, but
  291. 8:57that is a very small percentage. Even if
  292. 8:59you look at me, I run four social
  293. 9:00networks simultaneously. And believe me
  294. 9:02, if I wanted to start diving into all
  295. 9:03the algorithms, my head would simply
  296. 9:05explode. Therefore, even when I created
  297. 9:07my YouTube channel, I didn't know any
  298. 9:09rules. I didn't read anything anywhere
  299. 9:11about when to post, how to post, what
  300. 9:12intervals there are, and so on, what
  301. 9:14details there are. I didn't dive into
  302. 9:16any of that at all. I simply took all
  303. 9:18the knowledge I gained from TikTok and
  304. 9:20applied it here. And this is all
  305. 9:21knowledge based solely on whether I
  306. 9:23understand my audience. Nothing more,
  307. 9:25nothing less. I talk about this a lot on
  308. 9:27my Telegram channel. I even have a
  309. 9:29separate lesson where I talk about how I
  310. 9:30started and, in general, how I grew on
  311. 9:32social media. So you can take a look at
  312. 9:34that separately if you're interested in
  313. 9:35how I built these social media profiles
  314. 9:37throughout my journey. But the point is
  315. 9:39that there are three main things you can
  316. 9:41notice in your audience. First, a person
  317. 9:43follows you because, to some extent,
  318. 9:45they can see themselves in you, and from
  319. 9:47that, of course, they start to feel a
  320. 9:48sense of rapport.
  321. 9:50And the most interesting thing is that
  322. 9:52it can be little details, from how you
  323. 9:54talk to the opinions you hold.
  324. 9:56But what’s most interesting is that we
  325. 9:58tend to surround ourselves with similar
  326. 10:00people simply because we enjoy our own
  327. 10:02company.
  328. 10:04And when you show your traits, when you
  329. 10:06show your personality—even how you dress
  330. 10:08or your opinions—the goal of all this is
  331. 10:10for you to find, roughly speaking, your
  332. 10:12own people who understand you and share
  333. 10:14your views precisely because they think
  334. 10:16, "Oh, me too," or "Oh, that’s just like
  335. 10:18me," which creates that connection
  336. 10:20between you and your audience.
  337. 10:23Second, people follow you because they
  338. 10:24want to be like you. This is also quite
  339. 10:27logical. For example, you might follow
  340. 10:28someone who has specific results that
  341. 10:30you yourself would like to achieve.
  342. 10:33Let's say it's a beautiful body, a girl
  343. 10:35with a stunning appearance; why do we
  344. 10:37even follow beautiful people?
  345. 10:39Naturally, as inspiration for our own
  346. 10:41personal goals. We see a girl with a
  347. 10:43great figure and we follow her to see
  348. 10:46how she eats, what her day is like, to
  349. 10:49get some inspiration for ourselves on
  350. 10:51how we can improve our lives. And
  351. 10:54perhaps the first point isn't present
  352. 10:55here. We don't find any similarities
  353. 10:57between us. But the second point, that
  354. 10:59we can aspire to something, is exactly
  355. 11:01why you need to show it in your blog.
  356. 11:03And third—of course, you have to accept
  357. 11:05the fact that hooks, scripts, and all
  358. 11:07those things really do work.
  359. 11:10No matter how much you dislike the fact
  360. 11:12that there are certain trigger hooks or
  361. 11:13clickbait, they genuinely work.
  362. 11:16Even if the person watching your video
  363. 11:18post notices that the beginning was
  364. 11:19perhaps a bit more provocative.
  365. 11:22I’m not saying right now that these are
  366. 11:23the only methods that exist. I just want
  367. 11:24you to finally accept that this is how
  368. 11:27psychology works. Once you accept this
  369. 11:29for yourself and implement it into your
  370. 11:31content, you start capturing that
  371. 11:32attention. People are very simple when
  372. 11:34it comes to what they watch and what
  373. 11:36they pay attention to. So, just accept
  374. 11:37the fact that this is how it works, but
  375. 11:39choose the methods for grabbing
  376. 11:41attention that are comfortable for you.
  377. 11:43For some, it's provocation, while for
  378. 11:44others, it's an aesthetic image.
  379. 11:46Everyone has their own thing. Step four
  380. 11:48. Choose not the topic of your blog, but
  381. 11:50the person you are going to be telling
  382. 11:51it to. This is the main principle of
  383. 11:53blogging for the New Year. I often talk
  384. 11:55about the need to choose a niche for
  385. 11:57your blog. And many people don't
  386. 11:58understand what that means because they
  387. 12:00get confused by the terminology. We have
  388. 12:01blog topics, and we also have niches,
  389. 12:04categories, and formats. Too much talk,
  390. 12:06not enough action. So let's figure out
  391. 12:07what this actually means. When you
  392. 12:09create a blog on a certain topic—for
  393. 12:11example, beauty—your niche might be
  394. 12:13skincare products. Meaning you know more
  395. 12:16about that, or you look quite attractive
  396. 12:18, let's say your skin is very beautiful
  397. 12:19, right? So, there’s an immediate sense
  398. 12:22of trust in what you’re saying regarding
  399. 12:23such skincare products. And perhaps
  400. 12:25makeup is simply less interesting to you
  401. 12:27. That is your niche.
  402. 12:29But when people start choosing this
  403. 12:31niche, they don't always differ from
  404. 12:33those who just picked a topic, because
  405. 12:35they still keep talking as if just for
  406. 12:37themselves, about themselves. And in
  407. 12:39principle, there is no difference in
  408. 12:40that. That is why the blog doesn't take
  409. 12:41off.
  410. 12:42Just listen to an example and feel the
  411. 12:44difference between when a person has
  412. 12:46simply chosen a niche for a blog and
  413. 12:48when a person is speaking to a person.
  414. 12:51Let’s say I also have a beauty blog. And
  415. 12:52at the beginning of the video, I say: "
  416. 12:54Let's see what's in my evening cosmetic
  417. 12:56bag, what I use for my evening routine.
  418. 12:57" Or we change our hook slightly and say
  419. 12:59, "Let's see what's in my makeup bag,
  420. 13:01from someone who suffered from acne for
  421. 13:0310 years, and now this is what my skin
  422. 13:05looks like." That is a slight innovation
  423. 13:07. The essence of the video remains
  424. 13:08exactly the same.
  425. 13:10Basically, we show the same things, but
  426. 13:11we speak a little differently because we
  427. 13:13feel our audience and know exactly what
  428. 13:15they want to hear.
  429. 13:16Just remember this phrase: the principle
  430. 13:19of a successful blog is that it is built
  431. 13:21between you and your audience, not
  432. 13:23between you and the algorithm. This is
  433. 13:26exactly what I was trying to convey in
  434. 13:27the previous steps. I think you are
  435. 13:29getting closer and closer to
  436. 13:30understanding how to build a blog that
  437. 13:32people don't just watch, but subscribe
  438. 13:34to, and even monetize later, because you
  439. 13:36will be able to build trust with your
  440. 13:38audience. Advertising collaborations
  441. 13:40will come, and you will be able to sell
  442. 13:41your own goods, products, and so on. It
  443. 13:43is precisely based on these tips that
  444. 13:45all of this can be realized. Moving on.
  445. 13:47Step five. Show your process, not just
  446. 13:49the result.
  447. 13:50So many people get stuck before starting
  448. 13:52a blog or developing it in any way.
  449. 13:54When they think they aren't "enough,"
  450. 13:56they think they haven't reached a
  451. 13:57certain result, or they lack something,
  452. 13:59or they don't live in an ideal apartment
  453. 14:01, or don't have the conditions needed
  454. 14:03for a blog, or need to buy equipment,
  455. 14:05and so on. In short, there is always
  456. 14:07some "but." Why do we hold ourselves
  457. 14:09back? But most often, when a person is
  458. 14:11already growing their blog, they think
  459. 14:13they only need to show things when they
  460. 14:14have succeeded.
  461. 14:16But I want to tell you that the trend
  462. 14:18for the New Year is precisely to show
  463. 14:19the process of your growth and your
  464. 14:21changes.
  465. 14:22This is much more interesting than the
  466. 14:24result. And here is why. The thing is,
  467. 14:26an ideal result looks like it was
  468. 14:27generated by AI. Remember, at the
  469. 14:29beginning of the video, we talked about
  470. 14:30how there is so much artificial
  471. 14:31intelligence, which causes a slight
  472. 14:33aversion to perfection.
  473. 14:34So, the process shows all the
  474. 14:36imperfections, like when things don't go
  475. 14:38quite right, or your day might seem
  476. 14:40boring to you, but people share it with
  477. 14:42you because it feels like their own.
  478. 14:44Remember, yes, regarding the audience.
  479. 14:47Basically, the process has this great
  480. 14:49connection to the audience because they
  481. 14:51understand you, and because they might
  482. 14:53be going through the same thing. And
  483. 14:55those imperfections, they actually look
  484. 14:57quite advantageous. If you are just
  485. 14:59learning something, show how you are
  486. 15:00doing it. If you have started losing
  487. 15:02weight, show what tools you are using
  488. 15:04for it, and so on.
  489. 15:05Overall, it is much more interesting to
  490. 15:07watch a person in the process of a
  491. 15:09certain journey than just to see the
  492. 15:10result. Results are more important for
  493. 15:13expert-type content. The same goes for
  494. 15:15the foundation of content, when we talk
  495. 15:18about things that helped us improve our
  496. 15:20diet, skin, hair, and everything else.
  497. 15:23We are our own result, of course, and
  498. 15:25that is interesting to hear about. But I
  499. 15:27want to tell you that a result is
  500. 15:29sometimes just one piece of content. The
  501. 15:31process, however, equals dozens of
  502. 15:32videos you can create. And therein lies
  503. 15:35its value; it is much more interesting
  504. 15:36to watch. And more importantly, the
  505. 15:38person who subscribes to you will do so
  506. 15:40for the long haul, not just for one
  507. 15:41video. Step six. Learn to read your
  508. 15:43account statistics correctly. Many
  509. 15:45people who are just starting their blog
  510. 15:47, or even those who have been running
  511. 15:48them for months or years, for some
  512. 15:50reason focus on likes. Honestly, I do
  513. 15:51not know where this nature comes from.
  514. 15:53Perhaps it is the most obvious thing,
  515. 15:55but I often receive such messages. Why
  516. 15:57do I have 30 likes on a video with 300
  517. 15:59views, but only 15 likes on one with 500
  518. 16:02views? Why did that happen? I want to
  519. 16:04tell you that likes do not matter.
  520. 16:06Virtually every platform says this. The
  521. 16:09only one that probably still uses them
  522. 16:10is YouTube, which promotes videos with
  523. 16:12those thumbs up. So, if you like a video
  524. 16:14and it is useful to you, then by all
  525. 16:16means, leave a thumbs up. It really will
  526. 16:18help me out. But what should we focus on
  527. 16:20to avoid complicating our lives while
  528. 16:22still seeing that we are getting good
  529. 16:24results? It is just a few things. Saves
  530. 16:26, comments, and shares. These are the
  531. 16:29three things you will need. Everything
  532. 16:31else is just you wasting time trying to
  533. 16:33find that holy grail in the stats that
  534. 16:36you do not actually need. So, when you
  535. 16:38see that a person has interacted with
  536. 16:40your video in some other way, again,
  537. 16:42keeping the audience in mind, then you
  538. 16:44are doing everything right, because
  539. 16:46every time you post a video, you should
  540. 16:48understand what the actual goals behind
  541. 16:50it are. If you see that your videos are
  542. 16:53being actively saved, it means you've
  543. 16:54created something useful, and people
  544. 16:56have kept them to watch later.
  545. 16:58If someone reposts it, what are the odds
  546. 17:00it was sent to a friend saying, "Oh my
  547. 17:02god, that's us," or "Oh my god, that's
  548. 17:03so me"?
  549. 17:04You see? Yes, that effect of connecting
  550. 17:06with the audience. And, of course, the
  551. 17:08comments. If your videos gather a huge
  552. 17:10number of comments, it means you've
  553. 17:12managed to spark a desire in people to
  554. 17:14write something. This applies to both
  555. 17:16provocative things and, conversely,
  556. 17:17something positive. It means you
  557. 17:19resonated so deeply with a person
  558. 17:20through your opinion and the topic
  559. 17:22you're raising that they actually
  560. 17:23decided to leave a comment. And the
  561. 17:25longer it is, the more effective it is.
  562. 17:26Step seven. For a successful blog, we
  563. 17:28need more naturalness, especially if
  564. 17:30you're filming conversational videos. We
  565. 17:32have a few ways of talking on camera.
  566. 17:34One is where it's obvious we are
  567. 17:36prepared as if using a teleprompter. We
  568. 17:38read the text, we sit in some kind of
  569. 17:40stiff posture. Well, you know, that "
  570. 17:42premium content" type of look. People
  571. 17:43also really love filming that in studios
  572. 17:45. Very highly prepared. Or there's the
  573. 17:47option where a person sits as if they
  574. 17:49just sat down in front of the camera and
  575. 17:51simply starts telling you something. And
  576. 17:53the trend for new blogs, of course,
  577. 17:55shows that people prefer the second
  578. 17:57option more. And I think you understand
  579. 17:59why; artificial intelligence has also
  580. 18:00played a role. Let's look at an example
  581. 18:02of how I prepare for my videos. You can
  582. 18:04feel that my speech flows smoothly and
  583. 18:06it seems like I'm not reading my text,
  584. 18:08but you probably won't believe how well
  585. 18:11I prepared in advance. I have the topic
  586. 18:13of the video fully mapped out, the core
  587. 18:14message I want to convey to you. And I
  588. 18:16also have a word-for-word script for a
  589. 18:18half-hour video or however long it turns
  590. 18:20out, it doesn't matter, but it’s all
  591. 18:22written down—so I prepare very
  592. 18:23thoroughly. At the same time, when I sit
  593. 18:26down, I don't use any pre-prepared text
  594. 18:28because I want to maintain that note of
  595. 18:30naturalness and trust between us so it's
  596. 18:32easy to listen to. But, of course, I
  597. 18:34realize it would be brazen of me,
  598. 18:36someone who has been recording
  599. 18:38conversational videos for at least six
  600. 18:39or seven years, to say it’s all easy.
  601. 18:41Naturally, you will need practice to
  602. 18:43achieve that kind of naturalness. It
  603. 18:46doesn't come immediately. So, here are a
  604. 18:47few tips that have helped me as well.
  605. 18:49First, as I already mentioned, be sure
  606. 18:51to prepare in advance; you shouldn't
  607. 18:53just improvise, because it’s honestly
  608. 18:55hard to know how to start, where to
  609. 18:57finish, and especially which points to
  610. 18:59cover without forgetting anything.
  611. 19:01Therefore, preparation is absolutely
  612. 19:02necessary. Second. Make sure to practice
  613. 19:04without the camera. Just take the script
  614. 19:06you prepared and read through it, but
  615. 19:08please, don't read it word for word.
  616. 19:10Read it out loud to yourself first. Sit
  617. 19:13down, read it aloud like this, and then
  618. 19:15start talking as if you’re just having a
  619. 19:16conversation with yourself. Yes, I know
  620. 19:18it might feel a bit strange, but it’s
  621. 19:20great practice, as if you’re telling it
  622. 19:22to someone. And lastly, of course, when
  623. 19:24it comes time to actually film your
  624. 19:26videos, I want to say that there are no
  625. 19:28rules saying you must look directly into
  626. 19:30the camera or interact with it at all.
  627. 19:32You could just sit there, put on makeup
  628. 19:34, or, for example, drink your matcha
  629. 19:36like I am, and I could just sit here,
  630. 19:38you know, talking while looking
  631. 19:39elsewhere. That would be perfectly fine
  632. 19:41for me, too. So, you don’t have to do
  633. 19:43things that make you uncomfortable.
  634. 19:45Create an environment for filming that
  635. 19:47feels right for you. Everyone progresses
  636. 19:49at their own pace. So, if you aren't
  637. 19:51comfortable looking directly into the
  638. 19:53camera at this stage, just don't.
  639. 19:56If you aren't even comfortable filming
  640. 19:57yourself, there are video types where
  641. 19:59you can just use voice-over; just find
  642. 20:00an approach that makes it easiest for
  643. 20:02you to get started.
  644. 20:03Don’t try to become a professional in a
  645. 20:05single day. Everyone has their own path
  646. 20:07and their own timing. Next step. Forget
  647. 20:09about trends and learn to create content
  648. 20:11that people come to see over time. First
  649. 20:13of all, trends are things that are
  650. 20:14unstable. They change every single week
  651. 20:16and you have to keep up. Sometimes you
  652. 20:18make them too late and you’ve just
  653. 20:20wasted your time. For example, a few
  654. 20:22weeks pass, the trend starts to die out
  655. 20:24, so you missed the boat even though you
  656. 20:26created the content. And, of course,
  657. 20:27there’s the disappointment: "Why does
  658. 20:29everyone else have views and I don’t?"
  659. 20:30Sometimes it’s a matter of how fast you
  660. 20:32react. Second, of course, trends create
  661. 20:34a sort of faceless blog. We just end up
  662. 20:37looking like everyone else. And because
  663. 20:39of that, we don't gain subscribers. You
  664. 20:41might have noticed that if you had a
  665. 20:43trending video that hit, say, 100,000
  666. 20:44views, the number of subscribers you got
  667. 20:46was pretty negligible. But at the same
  668. 20:48time, if we record a good, high-quality
  669. 20:50video that gets 10,000 views, there will
  670. 20:52be far more subscribers. Why? Because,
  671. 20:55again, trends make our content less
  672. 20:58unique. There’s nothing wrong with using
  673. 21:00them, but at the same time, they don't
  674. 21:01produce the results you actually want.
  675. 21:03And the third point, which is actually
  676. 21:04quite important, is something you might
  677. 21:06not have thought about. It is almost
  678. 21:07impossible to monetize that kind of
  679. 21:08content. If you want to start working
  680. 21:10with brands, they most likely won't come
  681. 21:11to you because if everything is based on
  682. 21:13trends, there's no room for them to fit
  683. 21:15in. They understand that the trend has
  684. 21:17already passed, so there won't be as
  685. 21:19many good views, and relying solely on
  686. 21:21trends is difficult and unstable.
  687. 21:24If you are looking for clients or
  688. 21:26selling some products, trends can often
  689. 21:28make you look a bit like a joke.
  690. 21:30They don't present you as someone people
  691. 21:32can trust.
  692. 21:33Well, basically, a trend is for a wider
  693. 21:35audience, not for gathering your actual
  694. 21:37clients and your target audience. And
  695. 21:40that is the global problem. Therefore, I
  696. 21:42believe our personal trend for '27 and
  697. 21:44all subsequent years should be the
  698. 21:46ability to make trendy content that is
  699. 21:48timeless—creating your own trend. The
  700. 21:50trick is that you need to create serial
  701. 21:52content that people will want to come
  702. 21:53back for. Beginners have a problem where
  703. 21:56they treat every video as if they're
  704. 21:57starting from scratch. You create
  705. 21:59something, you have an idea, and the
  706. 22:01next day you need to come up with a new
  707. 22:03idea, and another, and another. It’s
  708. 22:04just a constant process of brainstorming
  709. 22:06. Successful content, the kind that
  710. 22:08gains views and subscribers, is the kind
  711. 22:10that has that repeatability of what
  712. 22:12worked before and turns the blog into a
  713. 22:15series. Let’s just look at my account as
  714. 22:17an example of how I applied this, so you
  715. 22:19understand the point. I took one thing
  716. 22:22and showcased it.
  717. 22:23And since my niche is chic style, which
  718. 22:26is a more classic look, I decided to
  719. 22:28just take one item and showcase it
  720. 22:30within my category.
  721. 22:33It immediately gathered views, and I
  722. 22:34decided that, naturally, I couldn't just
  723. 22:36let that go. You also need to remember
  724. 22:37for yourself: if something works, you
  725. 22:39should do it again and again. I did it
  726. 22:41with another object, a second, a third,
  727. 22:43a fourth. I turned it all into a series
  728. 22:45, and people subscribed to me because
  729. 22:47they knew there would be more videos
  730. 22:49like this where I’d show cool things
  731. 22:51from the same category. And just like
  732. 22:53that, I created my own trend.
  733. 22:55And the interesting part is, if I do the
  734. 22:57same thing tomorrow, it will work too,
  735. 22:59because this trend isn't time-sensitive
  736. 23:01.
  737. 23:02The main advantage of this kind of
  738. 23:04content—which a trend cannot guarantee—
  739. 23:05is that people will come back, they will
  740. 23:07subscribe, and they will remember you.
  741. 23:09A trend simply cannot guarantee that.
  742. 23:11Our ninth step in blog development based
  743. 23:13on new trends is to build your own
  744. 23:15community.
  745. 23:16I think this is one of the main trends,
  746. 23:18and of course, there are reasons for it
  747. 23:20, because people want to gather in their
  748. 23:21own little groups.
  749. 23:23Essentially, it’s a form of
  750. 23:24diversification that I always recommend
  751. 23:26to everyone. This is incredibly
  752. 23:27important. So, if I run a TikTok where I
  753. 23:30can get huge reach, I recommend creating
  754. 23:33a Telegram channel or any other
  755. 23:35community. Choose a platform that you
  756. 23:37are comfortable with, where you can
  757. 23:38gather your people. Just imagine you
  758. 23:40have huge reach passing through you. But
  759. 23:43in reality, the people who will stay
  760. 23:45connected in your community are much
  761. 23:47fewer. And to keep them, you definitely
  762. 23:50need to weave it into your viral content
  763. 23:52and steer them toward somewhere else.
  764. 23:55First of all, it’s about diversifying
  765. 23:56your income. If you have ads on your
  766. 23:59main platform, like TikTok or Instagram
  767. 24:01, you can do the same thing. This is
  768. 24:03another opportunity in Telegram to make
  769. 24:05your blog the foundation of your
  770. 24:06monetization.
  771. 24:08Sooner or later, all blogs reach a point
  772. 24:10where, besides ad partnerships, they
  773. 24:12start to leverage themselves and their
  774. 24:13personal brand.
  775. 24:15And, of course, having this, you know,
  776. 24:17good community of people nearby is a big
  777. 24:20bonus. You work all day like this,
  778. 24:22there’s no sun, and it only appears when
  779. 24:24you sit down to record a video.
  780. 24:25Unfortunately, we had to get rid of the
  781. 24:27sun. I hope the picture quality won't
  782. 24:28suffer because of it. The final step of
  783. 24:31our plan, which is just the cherry on
  784. 24:33top. This is truly the most important
  785. 24:35thing you must root out from all these
  786. 24:38tips: do not try to implement everything
  787. 24:40in a single attempt.
  788. 24:42You have to realize that because so many
  789. 24:45people are trying to grab the audience's
  790. 24:47attention, the simpler your approach to
  791. 24:49content is, the easier it will be to
  792. 24:52engage with it.
  793. 24:53So, remember one excellent rule for
  794. 24:55yourself. We have one video and one idea
  795. 24:57that we want to convey. It will be much
  796. 25:00more comfortable for the person watching
  797. 25:02you to dive deep into your video, rather
  798. 25:04than if you try to prove every
  799. 25:06interesting side of your blog in one go
  800. 25:08. Especially if you run some kind of
  801. 25:10lifestyle blog, you know, the kind that
  802. 25:13covers various related topics. If you
  803. 25:15try to shove all of that into one, it is
  804. 25:17very difficult to watch, and that is why
  805. 25:18people drop off. Although, on one hand,
  806. 25:20you are trying to make it interesting,
  807. 25:22right? In reality, less is more. Your
  808. 25:24blog should be built from these small,
  809. 25:26recurring meetings with your audience.
  810. 25:28In which you constantly provide little
  811. 25:31bits of your opinion, your vision, some
  812. 25:33aesthetic, or whatever, depending on how
  813. 25:35you run your blog. But you don't need to
  814. 25:38try to prove you are valuable in just
  815. 25:40one video. Just notice this interesting
  816. 25:42paradox: we have started returning to a
  817. 25:44time when a blog needed to have a soul.
  818. 25:46Because back then, only people who were
  819. 25:48bold enough to start showing up like
  820. 25:50that would start blogs.
  821. 25:52Nobody understood yet that a blog could
  822. 25:54have monetization or results, and we
  823. 25:56would just roll our eyes at the people
  824. 25:58who were starting them.
  825. 26:00Now, of course, there is a feeling that
  826. 26:03every second person is supposedly
  827. 26:05starting a blog, but in reality, we just
  828. 26:07live in a time when it is becoming a
  829. 26:09necessity at some point, like we
  830. 26:11mentioned regarding doctors, lawyers,
  831. 26:13and so on. Meaning it has become an
  832. 26:15integral part of our lives. There is no
  833. 26:17escaping it. But we are returning to
  834. 26:19that cycle where you no longer look at
  835. 26:21it all technically, like how to get
  836. 26:23results. You want to create that very
  837. 26:25blog that truly gathers attention simply
  838. 26:26because it is good, simply because it is
  839. 26:28interesting, because it has personality
  840. 26:30. That is exactly the kind of blog we
  841. 26:32will be waiting for in '27. In closing,
  842. 26:33I’d like to say this: as someone who has
  843. 26:35been working on their own blog for quite
  844. 26:37a long time, I can tell you that I don't
  845. 26:39know what algorithm rules we should
  846. 26:40expect, I don't know what technical
  847. 26:42changes are coming—I don't know any of
  848. 26:44that.
  849. 26:44But I do know for sure that if you
  850. 26:46follow steps that are focused on you,
  851. 26:48focused on your audience, and generally
  852. 26:50on people's attention, you can be the
  853. 26:52kind of blog that remains timeless,
  854. 26:54beyond trends, and beyond any changes.
  855. 26:57In this way, you will definitely succeed
  856. 26:59.

  860. 27:05points seemed most important to you
  861. 27:06specifically, and what it revealed to
  862. 27:08you.
  863. 27:09I love reading things like that because
  864. 27:11it helps me understand that I'm doing
  865. 27:12the right things. See you soon.
