Basic Facts About DIY Fashion Blogs

By Brandi Little


Developments in technology and the accessibility of the Internet has impacted the way the fashion world works today. DIY fashion blogs are also playing their part in changing the industry. These sites, and the bloggers who run them, are becoming important elements in the industry. Numerous resources are available to those who want to start or maintain a blog, or become successful at blogging.

Start off with a mission statement: a clear, concise statement that summarizes the main theme of the blog. There are several different avenues open when pursuing involvement in the industry of fashion. Figure out what you strive to accomplish early on. You may want to document your personal style, share inspiration, give advice or all of these things. Whatever the case, beginning with a clear focus will make things easier.

Come up with a name for the site. This is best when it is a representation of you, your mission, your style or all these elements. It should be unique or quirky but easy for people to recall. This is an important part of branding yourself, so make a choice and stick to it. It can be difficult to rebrand or change things around after you have gathered a following.

The platform for your blog must be decided. Countless free programs and websites are available that allow individuals to easily set up and publish blogs or websites. Do research on all available options and consider the cons and pros of each one. Your final decision should be on a platform that is not difficult to use and has features that you feel comfortable applying. Most bloggers purchase a personalized domain too.

After you have chosen the platform, put together the blog design. This process may be long or short, it will depend on factors such as platform, your skills and design. It is imperative that the site has aesthetic appeal. As a general rule, visually appealing websites are relatively simple. Avoid complicated layouts that are confusing, problematic to navigate and take too much time to load.

Once these initial steps have been sorted out, you are ready to begin the blogging process. If you cover things that inspire you, running out of ideas will not become a problem. The amount of stuff that can be shared through these sites is endless. Invest in recording devices, editing programs, professional cameras and other similar devices that can improve production.

Many of these bloggers are independent employers, they do not have bosses. They regulate how, what and when posts are published. Adding in photographs, video and other forms of media are an ideal way to break up text posts. This can also bring in new people who like visual content over text. Set up a blog calendar so you can stay organized and keep track and past and future posts.

Lastly, promote your work. Be proud of what you have created and share it with as many people as possible. It may take some time to gather a following, but you can start promoting by sharing your link on other website, posting comments on other blogs, utilizing social media and teaming up with similar bloggers for projects. DIY fashion blogs can be extremely beneficial. Some are even able to turn this hobby into a full-time career. Whether blogging is a hobby or a job, make sure to have fun.
