......Making it big as a fashion blogger

Step five: Discover Your Voice

Don’t be a copycat! "Have your own voice and your own style"  Give people new things to look at and get excited about and make sure they are things you’re excited about, too. It’s so important to be YOU. Your posts should define you too

Step six: Collaborate, Collaborate, Collaborate

It’s one of the most effective ways to get some exposure and followers. Get people with similar passion and interests (other fashion and beauty bloggers, designers, etc.) to collaborate with and don't be selfish. Check other peoples blogs, make comments and share if need be. You can also join some blogger groups and offer your sincere knowledge when needed

Blogging often requires hours of solitude to craft those meaningful posts that resonate with readers, but it takes a village for your blog to truly become successful. At some point, you’ll exhaust your network of family and friends. That means you have to network with your fellow bloggers. - See more at: http://downtowndemure.com/2015/06/13/8-tips-for-becoming-a-successful-fashion-blogger/#sthash.5yRC7gIS.dpuf

But don’t network in the icky, self-serving way. Truly invest in your fellow bloggers. Join their mailing lists, comment on and share their blog posts, and feature them in the #followfriday shout outs in social media.  Do ALL the things you hope for someone else to do for your blog (Jesus’ golden rule extends to blogging as well).

Join blogging groups with like-minded women who aim to encourage and help each other succeed. My absolute favorite group is the Peony Project. If you’re a Christian female blogger, you should join this group ASAP.

Weekly link-ups (or blog hops) are another excellent way to meet and support fellow bloggers. But don’t just drop a link and dash. Not only is that a selfish approach to link-ups (and a sure way to annoy the link-up host), it’s a waste of an opportunity to network. So share your link and then visit at least 2 other blogs from that link up. Here are some of my favorite link-ups:
