How Bloggers Make Money: 6 Proven Ways

0 comments

Many of us probably wonder if it is possible to be a full-time blogger. Some will say yes, while others still don’t recognize that as an actual job. Believe it or not, bloggers make money – and they work hard for it. Starting your blog is easy, but if you want to turn it into the money-churning machine you have to do a lot of planning, organization, and connect with a lot of people.

From some common ways on how bloggers make money to the hard ones that require more resources and effort – I will show you how to turn your blog into a business.

 

Sponsored Posts

If you have been seeing a hashtag on Instagram like #sponsored or #ad but you didn’t exactly realize what they have meant, I will explain further. A blogger or influencer publish a sponsored post when brand paid them to promote their product(s). These posts can be included on your blog, social media, or both.

In the beginning, when your blog is still new and you are not so popular, it might come hard to find brands to collaborate with. However, you can look into many talent agencies that exist nowadays and try to find brands that suit you and make the best deals out of it.

Affiliate Marketing (Links)

Most bloggers started earning through a blog with affiliate marketing. It is great for the beginners – you don’t have to do anything except putting a link to a product. How to implement affiliate links? Well, the best way to do it is through networks like rewardstyle or ShopStyle.

Don’t be afraid to contact smaller boutiques as well – they can offer good deals as well.

 

Banner Ads

This might be the most common way for bloggers to earn money. You allow advertisers to use certain parts of your blog – whether it is a header, sidebars, footer or between posts. Google AdSense or Mediavine are services that can help a lot, they act like your ad manager, keeping all data and analysis.

Bloggers that decide to have banner ads are paid according to monthly impressions and clicks.   

 

Become Brand Ambassador

To become the brand ambassador you really have to put a lot of effort into it. You need to have a certain number of followers who you can convince to buy some product. Brands are usually searching for somebody who can:

  • Influence people to buy something
  • Bloggers with a long list of followers
  • Bloggers that already cooperated with brands from the same niche

Offer Products

When all these things stop making sense and your blog is functioning perfectly, then it might be the right time to think out of a box. That is when you can start thinking about making your own goodies. Whether those are free templates, lines of clothes or shoes – if you have been successful in selling, this will absolutely be the bull’s eye.

 

Offer Services

If making products isn’t your thing, then think the other way – bloggers make money by offering services. If you are good in graphic design, photography or you produce killer content, then you might want to share that with the world.

Face Serums: All you Need to Know About Them

Face Serums: All you Need to Know About Them

0 comments

If you are thinking about upgrading your skin care routine, it is not a bad idea to start thinking about face serums. But, what on Earth face serums are? Don’t worry, I have answers to all your questions.

Make sure your morning and evening skin care routine are complete and make your skin look and feel perfect.

 

What is Serum?

“Serums are light, water-based liquids that deliver a large dose of ingredients into your skin.”

You can apply the serum before your moisturizer, and after toner, essence or mist. It delivers a great dose of ingredients into your skin. The serums are perfect for this task because they are made of small molecules that penetrate deep into our skin, preparing it for the rest of the skin care.

 

Moisturizer and Face Serums – Same, or Not?

“The difference between oil or a moisturizer and serum is the composition.”

Even though the serums are full of moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic-acid ceramides they can’t be considered as classic moisturizers. They are more here to help you keep your skin moisturized during the day, keeping water in, but only if you have applied all necessary ingredients.

 

How Often to Use Serums?

This depends on your need and on the serum. It is usually written on the back of the bottle – you can use your serum once or twice a day. It is usually enough to use it as a part of your morning routine, after essence or toner and before your daily moisturizing creme.

 

Difference Between Serums and Face Oils

While serums are pretty lightweight and made of water ingredients, face oils are a growing trend that many women start to use. That is the main reason why most of the new oils are considered as serums.

“You have the water-based serums and the oil-based serums. Water-based serums go under the cream, and they are so important. They nourish the inner layer of the skin because the molecule is very small so it penetrates—because of the P50, of course. The oil-based serums go on top of the moisturizer because they have a bigger molecule. They’re supposed to keep the cream and whatever you put underneath moist during the entire day. “

 

Expiration of Serum Ingredients

Some of the ingredients found in serums like Vitamin C can easily oxidize and lose efficacy when the serum is not kept properly. That is why it is the best to keep it in some place that is dry, cool, and to use it within six months.

 

Picking Right Serums

Depending on your skin type, choose a serum that will do only good for you. If you have:

  • Acne Prone skin: always look for vitamin C. It increases production of collagen repairs skin better and reduces inflammation. Salicylic acid unclogs pores.
  • Dry Skin: Vitamin E will solve all your problems. It is an antioxidant perfect for your skin. Search for hyaluronic and glycolic acid as well.
  • Dull Skin: If you have problems with dull skin when buying serum always check out if there are antioxidants – green tea, resveratrol or ferulic acid.

How to Organize Your Closet for Fall: Tips and Tricks

How to Organize Your Closet for Fall: Tips and Tricks

0 comments

Whether it is just you or the transitional season you should definitely organize your closet from time to time. It will help you realize how much clothes you got (in reality) so you can’t pull that same old I don’t have anything to wear phrase. Sometimes, when our clothes are not tied up, and it is kind of messy in our closets, you can’t really see what is hiding back there. I have prepared some ultimate tips and trick on how to organize your closet and clear up your headspace as well!

FIRST OF ALL…

Empty everything! Let all the clothes that you have from your closet and put it on the floor, on your bed or anywhere else. That way you can also have a better look at the space so you can remodel it the way it suits you at the moment. This is also an excellent opportunity to clean everything.

Try to declutter through every stuff that you have gotten out from the closet. This part can be stressful because it is natural that you want to keep (almost) everything, but the point is to leave something that you really need.

 

12 MONTHS LIMIT

If there are some things that you haven’t worn for 12 or more months, you need to let them go. If you become emotional, let it aside for some time and then see if there is anything you can wear that item with. If not, put it in the goodbye box.

UNDERWEAR CLEANING

This 12-month rule can apply to your underwear as well. Opt for the panties that you wear the most – comfy and sexy ones. However, don’t keep the ones that are getting old or frayed. You can also roll them so they will be easier for you to find them.

DIVIDE CLOTHES INTO CATEGORIES

It is always better to hang your clothes within categories and subcategories. For example blouses, pants, skirts, and dresses or long-sleeve, strapless and others. I like to place my clothes facing the same way. This trick makes it easier to browse through your items.

PURSES ON SIGHT!

Don’t hide your bags inside your closet. Put them somewhere visible so you won’t forget about having some! They shouldn’t be kept one inside the other. In that way, they can be damaged and reshaped.

 

ORDER THE SHELVES

Put the clothes in the order you need to wear it. So, on the top should be your underwear, socks and then shirts, sweaters, and your jeans.

USE DIVIDERS

If you are not so good at keeping your clothes organized, then you should use dividers. Put the ones you use the most up in the front rows.

HANG BELTS AND SCARVES

These accessories are easily forgotten. They can be thrown in some dark corner of your closet, and even when you need them – you can’t find them. That is why you should let them be hanged somewhere visible so you won’t find them only when you organize your closet.

JEWELRY ON TRAYS

All those minimalistic gold and bronze trays are great for keeping your pieces of jewelry on them.

With fall just around the corner, it is the right time to start thinking about jackets again. With the unstable weather that we have all experienced this summer, I can’t wait to hoop into some of my favorite jackets this fall.
From some classy models to others that are coming up this fall into the stores, there is definitely plenty of choices for us. When it comes to jackets you should always listen that old one – classic is eternal. That is why, you should invest in some good piece(s), instead of buying only the trendy ones. Let’s have a look on jackets that will never go out of style.

THE BLAZER

Don’t look at you blazer like it is only meant to be worn at work. Classy double-breasted blazer in any color and pattern can be perfect jacket when the weather is not here nor there. It works perfectly with almost anything – from skinny jeans to midi pleated skirts. Style it over you knits or button-down, and you will be ready for fall.

THE SHACKET

The shacket is also known as a shirt jacket. It is perfect for transitional weather. You can match it with the color of your jeans or just wear it with any other item. The versatility is the main thing here.

THE PUFFER

This kind of jacket is perfect for those who like to feel extremely warm in fall and winter. Imagine taking your duvet with you. Well, that is the kind of warmth that the puffer will give to you. The fashion bloggers were obsessed with it last season, and guess what – it continues to this fall as well.

THE BOMBER

Bomber jackets are usually made of silky and light materials. They are perfect to wear as a transitional item between not only fall and winter, but also between spring and summer. This year, make sure to have one in checks or tweed pattern.

SHEARLING JACKETS

Short shearling jackets will never go out of fashion. They will always be a winning option with jeans and something layered below. You should definitely try pastel tones this fall. However, if you are not a fan then go with the classy beige, brown or white.

MILITARY GREEN JACKETS

Personally, I find military jackets very versatile and always trendy. I own one for a few years now, and I can suggest to you that it will be your perfect invest. They go fantastic with any other staple – jeans, knits and even summer dresses.

DENIM JACKETS

Love for jeans is eternal. However, in one period of time, denim jackets were forgotten, left in some dark corner of our closets. Put them out and style them with matching jeans, bright colored boots, and oversized knits.

THE LEATHER BIKER

French women say that the black leather jacket is their statement piece. And I couldn’t agree more! If you already have one, or two jackets in your closet, no matter. Buy another one and wear it with all other staples that you own in your closet.

When you are not into open-toe sandals or flip-flops, then don’t hesitate to try the shoes that became popular in a very short time. Mules are the new obsession for many girls now, so I have decided to show you how you can style them as well.
On the street style stars, you could see mules as a part of many different combinations. Some girls like to wear them in a classy, casual way, while the others break the boundaries with mixing unpairable. There are a variety of materials that the mules are made of. Satin and pastel palette are definitely some of the most important things to look when purchasing a pair. However, if the bright colors are your thing, then there are definitely some cool combinations that you need to try.

Let’s check out some of the best combinations that all trendy girls would try.

YELLOW AND BLUE COMBINATION

Yellow and blue combinations were always to-much for me. However, when I see the mix like this, I can’t say anything but BEAUTIFUL! This girl decided to pair knit with a fine pleated skirt like it is the most casual thing in the world. Blue mules with silver detail are classy but also very eccentric.

ALL-WHITE-EVERYTHING

All-white-everything is one of the best combinations for spring and summer. However, you can definitely continue to wear this lovely outfit in fall in winter. With mules, this combination gets a new twist. As you can see bronze and white make a fantastic combination that you could not resist to wear.

BRIGHT DETAIL

Even with the most casual outfits like this one, you can add some bright and interesting detail. If I were you, I would opt for these lovely red mules to complete and to bring life to this lovely white outfit. It will be a perfect office or evening look.

ORANGE MULES

Orange was and still is one of the most challenging colors to wear. It was also one of the fall-winter colors last year. We have seen a lot of inspiring and fashionable combinations that were made of orange items – blazers, pants, and mules. They look perfectly even in the simple white-shirt-jeans combo.

PASTELS DOMINATION

Pastels are so dominant for some time now, that it is a shame if you haven’t buy anything in lilac, mint green and baby pink color. Believe it or not, blush pink and mint green make a perfect combo. If you don’t believe me, check out this lovely outfit below!

NAVY-BLUE CLASSICS

If you are a more silent type and you don’t like your outfits to scream colors wherever you go, then you can always opt for navy-blue combinations. This chic Italian girl proves that she can look equally good in classy as well as in eccentric outfits.

FRENCH APPROVED

Mules are definitely French approved footwear. They look perfectly stylish and they can be a perfect detail to every combination. Editor and chief from Vogue wears them like this – don’t hesitate to copy her style.
