Turning Fashion Blogging Into A Money-making Career

If you have started a blog then there is a good chance that, like most, you started it because you have a genuine interest in what you’re writing and you want to cover it. Over time, you build a community and a commitment that makes you want to keep going, but you also want to make sure that your time is worth it. To that end, how do you make money from a beauty or fashion blog?

Placing ads on the site

There are advertisement networks that you can connect your website to in order to generate revenue. Perhaps the most famous of these networks is Google AdSense, which lets you display ads with very little effort. In general, however, ads are becoming less and less popular in the online space, with more and more people using ad-blocking apps to make sure that they never see them in the first place so, if you do want to use ads, try to be subtle and considerate in how you place them.

Becoming an affiliate

Perhaps the most widely available option for most bloggers is to go the way of affiliate marketing. Before you start blogging, it’s important to know what kind of posts you’re okay with doing and what kinds of products and news you want to cover. When choosing affiliates, who will ask you to include links or products in your posts, you want to make sure that you’re choosing the kind of brands and products that you would cover anyway so that you find it easier to write about them and the subject matter isn’t jarring to your audience.

The path of the influencer

Nowadays, most people in the fashion and beauty space are aiming to become influencers. Influencers typically have a closer relationship with the brands they cover than affiliates, becoming publicly tied with the brand and often being shown wearing it. Getting ties with the high-end brands, like Rolex brand ambassadors, can be very difficult indeed since these brands are so well known they’re more likely to go for celebrity roles. However, there are a lot of up and coming fashion and beauty brands that may be better suited to developing relationships with fresher faces, too.

Sell your expertise

If you manage to make a name for yourself in the fashion and beauty world as having a good sense of style, then you might be able to sell that expertise. For instance, you might be able to teach your readers more about your niche through online classes, seminars, or even one-on-one sessions. It might not even be selling your fashion expertise, you might also want to look at the potential of selling photography tips or blog design lessons, using the skills that you used to build the blog in the first place.

It’s not easy to make money from fashion or beauty blogging, nor is it a path that is necessarily going to work for everyone. With the tips above, however, you might be able to find the path that works for you.

Accessorise Like a Pro: What To Consider When Choosing Accessories

Accessories can be the perfect way to take your outfit from drab to fab. However, if you're looking for a new scarf, belt, or handbag, you must know what to look for so that you don't end up spending money on something you'll never use. This blog post will discuss how to accessorise like a pro and give tips on what to consider before purchasing an accessory.

Wear Less Than 3 Accessories for Each Outfit

The accessories you wear can make or break an outfit, and choosing the right ones is a big part of that. That's why it's essential to get in the habit of wearing less than three pieces for each look. This way, you can keep the focus on your outfit and make it shine while still being able to mix up your looks in a fun, creative way. On the other hand, wearing more than three accessories at a time can make you look disorganised and fussy.

When deciding which accessories to wear, take into consideration where they go with the outfit. Choosing complementary colours will help your look pop, while contrasting colours will give it a more edgy feel. 

If you're feeling self-conscious about wearing less than three pieces of jewellery at once, start with just one necklace and move on from there! That way, you can figure out what your favourite combos are before adding in the other two accessories.

Also, caring for your jewellery is a must if you want to pair different pieces for various occasions and looks.

Use a Matching Set of Jewelry Only if They Are Small

The rule of thumb when mixing and matching your jewellery is to keep it small. It's all too easy to get overwhelmed by a pile of mismatched earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings, but there are some simple steps you can take to create an elegant look with any accessory set.

First, choose one large piece like a necklace or bracelet to anchor your look. The rest of the pieces should match in size and style to work together without competing for attention. 

Similarly, if you're wearing multiple rings on different fingers, make sure that each ring matches the overall design but is unique. This is perfect for people with an outfit with several colours or patterns and can create the illusion of more pieces on their body than just one necklace.

Your Handbag Shouldn’t Be the Same Color As Your Shoes

Accessories are a great way to dress up your outfit, but you shouldn't have your handbag be the same colour as your shoes. You want to broaden the spectrum of colours that you're wearing, so it doesn't look like you just threw on any old thing in your closet. While this might sound tedious and not worth all the work, it can make your ensemble more complete.

Be sure to consider the colours of other items in your look when you are deciding on which accessories to wear. A little bit of colour coordination goes a long way! 

Conclusion

The way you dress reflects who you are and how confident in your style and personality you feel. Of course, it’s important to go with your gut when choosing accessories, but this article might be a good read for you if you’re unsure of where to start.
