The internet is buzzing with people who seek new fashion inspiration every day. So what better way to respond than to start a fashion blog site!
Whether it’s for yourself or you’re giving it as a present for a loved one, a fashion blog is one of the best ways to express one’s self, positively influence others, and earn from doing it! It sounds like a lot of work, right? But when you know how to make a head start, there’s nothing to worry about. Now, let’s take the first five steps towards creating a fashion blog in 2020.
Step 1: Do your research.
Before you buy that really fashionable domain name, do you research first.
Learn the basics of website development and design, so you can fully represent your brand. Get to know the ins and outs of content and content planning. Keep tabs on the dos and don’ts of fashion blogging.
Also, keep an eye out on domains that feed on your ideas. If you can, find a reliable friend who’s a fashion mentor and a long-time blogger too. It will save you a lot of stress as you deal with blogging politics and bashers in the future.
Step 2: Strategize.
Analyze your strengths and weaknesses as a fashion blogger. What are you good at? What are you passionate about? You can choose to post about hairstyling, doing makeup, catching up on celebrity fashion, or a combination of these things.
Next, identify your audience. Build your brand and content around your target niche.
Step 3: Create your fashion blog platform.
There are many ways to set up a fashion blog nowadays. You can choose the easier way of building your blog in a platform with templates that you can easily update according to your preferences. Or you can also build your own blog site from scratch if you have the skills to do so.
Step 4: Design your blog site fashionably.
Designing your blog is an important deciding factor in your blog’s success. Fashion is all about getting into the heart of design, which is art. So, tap some great themes out there, or seek inspiration from professionals who can teach you how to express art without sacrificing the blog site’s functionality.
Don’t have the skills to design your own blog site? No need to fret since there are many freelance website designers that you can tap. There are also platforms where design templates are readily available and easy to edit, so you can still choose the color palettes and style that you want.
Step 5: Create a content plan.
Invest enough time in planning your content. Remember that content will always be king when it comes to blogging.
This includes what you write on your blog and how you post on social media. While it’s tempting to post totally similar content on your blog and social media pages, this will create issues as these platforms have various needs.
You need to work on the frequency, content type, and content style that is tailor-fit to each platform.
Moreover, while you can get free stock photos to add visual life to your content, having great, original photos can also take you to greater heights.
Key Takeaways
Do you see how easy it can be to start a fashion blog when you know the preliminary steps to take? With these start-up tips, you can now move forward with your dream and making it a reality.
As you move further along on your journey, it’s important to note that being a fashion blogger is all about staying on top of trends while keeping your own sense of style. This will help your brand stand out in the sea of fashion bloggers.
Best of luck to your journey toward becoming a fashion blogger!
