Fashion Blogging advice.? - Searchforgreatness - 04-08-2014 06:45 PM
I've always wanted to make a fashion blog but never got the time to do so. Now that I have some time on my hands I was wondering how I could get started because I dont have the slightest clue. Like what website is the best for a fashion/style related blog,which website allows you to earn money with ads (if I'm looking for a little extra cash),how you build a fan base,what most people like to read etc.

Google's Blogger.com is a popular blog platform that has not paid upgrades, like many of the other 'free' hosts have, they also don't take a percentage of Adwords advertising and seems tolerant of other advertising on their sites. It is a bit simpler than the industry standard blog platform Wordpress.
A custom domain name costing about $12/yr makes you look more professional and allows you to relocate the site to a different host without losing the identity.
Try searching, site:blogspot.com intitle:fashion, to get a feel for the style of their platform.
You probably have to rely on SEO and a lot of time spent on forums and social sites to get the word out about your site while generating some backlinks as well.
