Hello angels!
I'm finally here after a looong week - answering the most frequently asked question, I guess, which is - how to make your blog worth it!
Please note, that I'm not an expert when it comes to blogging. I just write about the things I like or (like now) I'm trying my best to help you.
The whole blogging thing isn't as easy as it seems. Fashion/beauty/lifestyle blogs are super popular nowadays. Many girls decide to create a blog and they also want many viewers at once. This is not how it works.
Of course, you can make people to visit your blog throught self-promotion. That is totally okay. But isn't it nicer when people find your blog all by themselves and decide to follow you because they actually like your blog?
When it comes to blogs in general, the competition is endless. But keep calm, because many of these blogs actually suck. Mostly because of the pointless articles or low quality photos...
This leaves you an opportunity to create something amazing and special! The most important thing is being different! People like different!
Also, make sure to come up with a good blog name. This is also a way how to get people to visit your blog.
Once your blog is all set up, publish your first article. It doesn't have to be a "Hi, I'm Katie - 23 y.o. girl, and this blog will be about ..." kind of post. People will eventually find out more things about you.
Don't just publish a lame crappie material that you type out in ten minutes because you need to do something else. If you're busy, don't publish anything - take your time with this!
To be honest, sometimes it takes me even two days to finish a blog post! Usually it's a few hours.
Make your brain work pretty damn hard.
And again - being different is like being alive - sounds kinda dramatic, but it's true. If your blog is the same as all the other blogs, you'll get lost in all that noise and stay unnoticed. And you don't want that.
Having a blog is like having your own clothing line or brand - you want your line to stand out!
You might think that people hate long blog posts. Well, you're wrong - they love reading them! Especially when they are straight to the point!
The best content is something that can change people's opinion/life. Again - sounds super dramatic, I know, but let's think about it (although this will be kinda crazy, haha) - after reading this blog post you might think about how your blog isn't really eye-catching or different from all the other blogs, so you decide to make it a little bit more interesting.
I personally love reading those kinds of blog posts that have something new to tell (especially when we're talking about the posts that can help me, or other people).
Also - get professional! Save up some money and get good camera for your photos! It doesn't have to be a DSLR camera! Even these small, handy cameras can take high quality photos! Try to edit your photos, as well. Take will look much better.
These things can make a huge difference to how you are perceived.
Tell people about your blog - be proud of it! Blog is something that is created by you! You have no reason to be ashamed!
If you would like to create a fashion blog, that means you're into fashion (or at least you should be). I don't know how about you, but if I accidentally visit a fashion blog and I can see that the creator doesn't know that much about fashion in general, I'll stop being interested.
Of course you don't need to know the exact date when Karl Lagerfeld was born... but on the other hand, it's nice if you know that he's the head designer and the creative director of Chanel and Fendi.
And last but not least - be yourself. Don't be a copy of someone.
Well, these would be the things that I think are important and people tend to forget about them.
I hope this post inspired you, enjoy your weekend.
Ronnie
