The Essentials So you want to start a fashion blog but have no idea where to start, or what to do. Follow these easy steps, and you shall be well on your way to success:

Step Two: Set Up a Unique Layout for your Blog I suggest you pick a design or layout that is mostly pictures, the main page should have your photography portfolio, and or fashion taste, and drawings. A blog is made up of unique content, pictures, contact information and a description of your business. Create static content – this consists of contact information, an about us page, testimonials, and a privacy policy page.
Then start adding articles – Find your voice, reach out to your audience. Find out what they enjoy the most. What are they looking for? What style do they like? Can you meet their fashion senses? How old is your audience? Once you ask yourself these questions, you will have a better idea on how to create your blog. Once you post a few articles, re-read them and ask yourself these questions: Is my content informative? Is my content eye-catching? Do I have an entertaining reach? If I were a reader, would I want to read more?
