There’s a new breed of fashion icons gracing the world, and
they are not the common day celebrities we used to. Fashion blogging has taken
both the internet and fashion world by storm, allowing anyone to document their
own unique style online. As a fashion blogger myself, I have learnt a few tips
and tricks to help anyone get their foot into the industry & have selected
my top tips to share with you & hopefully inspire some new bloggers!
-
Blogging is not a one man ship, I work from various
social media accounts to promote and interact with other bloggers. My top
choices are Instagram, allowing you to promote recent blog posts and post daily
pictures of what you’re doing, Twitter, which allows you to build up strong
bonds with companies and bloggers a like and lastly, Bloglovin which provides a
platform to view all your top blogs at once!
-
Interaction. Many bloggers complain about the
lack of comments on their posts & I have to agree, getting a comment on a
blog post you’re really proud is such a confidence boost & has also lead to
me discover some amazing blogs through it!
-
Carry a notebook at all times. Inspiration comes
to me at the most random times, in Morrison’s, on the bus to university and
sometimes writing it on your phone won’t always mean you’ll remember it! I
carry round a little notebook constantly, for random outfit inspiration to new
blog content I’ve thought of.
When I started blogging, I only thought I would
post outfit posts. But there are so many topics you can cover as a blogger, my
personal favourite being: wish lists (pick your top items from a shop such as
ASOS), haul posts (share your ill-gotten gains with your readers & then
maybe you won’t feel as bad…), favourite bloggers (who’s inspiring you this
month?) and of course, posts on hair & beauty work perfectly if you also
have a passion for them too.
This was a piece I wrote my university paper but I thought I'd share it with you guys as it took me a lot of courage to start my own blog so I'd love to know I'd maybe helped inspire others to make their own too :-)
