<\/p>\nSo, you think you can blog? The good news is, getting started is the easiest part. It\u2019s figuring out how to actually grow your blog and build up a loyal following that will ultimately separate the wannabes from the success stories. But don\u2019t worry, we got you covered. With a market that\u2019s as overcrowded and crazy competitive as fashion blogging (and blogging in general), simply having a passion for fashion won\u2019t cut it in this crazy cutthroat market. You have to be willing to put in the time and really work for it, girl. To see what it takes, we turned to two top style bloggers for their professional advice on how to start a fashion blog.<\/p>\n
You have to spend money to make money and fashion blogging is no different. Fortunately, getting started doesn\u2019t require you to empty out your savings account. You\u2019ll want to invest in good lenses and camera equipment, though, says Los Angeles-based fashion and lifestyle blogger Alyssa Campanella of The A List. \u201cOne of the biggest ways you\u2019ll be engaging with your readers is through your photos,\u201d she explains. If the lighting is bad and the pictures are blurry, people aren\u2019t going to take you seriously, much less take the time to read what you have to say. While paying for a custom-designed website upfront isn\u2019t a must, you should purchase your own domain name (a minimal expense) and pick a clean layout that won\u2019t confuse readers and is easy on the eyes.<\/p>\n

Knowledge is power and keeping abreast of the latest trends and what\u2019s happening in the world of style is a must for bloggers. Campanella recommends reading fashion magazines not only in your country, but abroad as well. \u201cI look forward to British Vogue and Marie Claire U.K. monthly despite living in the U.S.,\u201d she says. \u201cAlso start using Pinterest as a mood board for your style. Collecting pins that are inspirational to you and your sense of style are crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n
