If you’d rather go the virtual route, however, you’ve got some interesting opportunities. This is a fantastic business opportunity in and of itself, especially if you can tap into a market of people who have some money to spend on clothing but either doesn’t know what works for them or simply don’t have the time to pull their clothes situation together as well as they’d like. For a set fee, you head into clients’ closets and come out with custom-styled outfits. If you are known around town for your keen fashion sense, you can offer your services as a stylist - the in-person kind. Not everyone will dress exactly like you and share your exact fashion sense, after all, which means you need to be able to tap into what other people like and don’t like and then find ways to elevate. As any kind of stylist - or, yes, fashion blogger - you’ll need to be able to do things that meet people where they are, not where you are. Virtual stylist jobs have a lot of feedback mechanisms built in, which are fantastic not only for developing your own sense of style (seeing what people like and don’t like, and then seeing how you feel about that) but for developing your sense of other people’s styles. You can hone your already-keen fashion sense, get a better idea of what “the market” is looking for, get to know your ideal clients (and develop a sense of what to avoid), all while making some good money on the side. So what’s a stylist-at-heart to do, for money, from home? Here’s what I think: Be a Virtual Stylist!īeing a virtual stylist is a great way to make money while you’re building your blog. Those can be great stepping stones in building your own business and reputation, but they aren’t always stable and they won’t necessarily let you play in fashion all day, either. There are always the typical freelancing routes - being a freelance designer, blogger-for-hire, or even social media manager for fashion brands. But what are your options and where can you find a freelance fashion job? You may need a steady-paying gig in the interim or as a backup. Even then, and especially as you’re building up, the money can fluctuate greatly from month to month.
That said, it can take quite a bit of time to start earning a full-time income from a fashion or beauty blog. Fashion and beauty are two of the biggest blogging industries out there, and there’s a huge opportunity for fashion bloggers to make something great out of their blog-turned-business. Whatever your interest is, you can pursue it with a blog.
I love blogging because it’s so flexible and interesting.
