How Bloggers Make Money: 6 Proven Ways

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.

What would you choose – blindly following trends or building your wardrobe with basic staples? Sometimes it is better to combine these two to get fantastic results. Falling in the middle is the best possible option that you can get in the fashion world. When fall knocks on the door, you have to be ready. That is why you need to prepare your best items to warm your up. All that you need is ultimate fall fashion starter kit. Let’s see what’s inside.

THE BLAZER

Isn’t the blazer perfect outerwear? It can be used as a jacket, or even below a coat when it is too cold outside. When buying the blazer, try to choose the classic cut and some basic color. Navy blue and black will always be in style so you can wear your blazer until it is ripped off! In fall it goes perfectly with jeans, wide leg pants, and pleated skirts.

THE KNIT DRESS

If you think it is impossible to wear dresses in fall when the weather becomes colder, then you were wrong. Knit dresses are perfect for that. Whether they are long, short or midi, they work perfectly with thigh-high boots or stilettos. They can be your new workwear – chic and very comfortable.

THE CHUNKY SWEATER

Every girl needs a chunky sweater to feel warm and cozy when the rain starts. Whether color you choose it will be good. Beige, soft pink, and lilac are perfect shades to go with for fall. They are both versatile and trendy.

COZY CARDIGAN

Cardigans are suitable for those days when the weather is not here nor there. When it is too much for a coat, but it is not so warm to go in your blouse only. Dresses, as well as formal wear like button-downs, can be combined with warm cardigans.

BLACK BOOTIES

Black booties are must-have in your closet for the fall-winter season and they have to be in your fall fashion starter kit. It is good to have a backup like brown or white ones, but the blacks are the ones you will actually wear the most. They are versatile, and you can choose the heel – block heel would definitely be the trendy and smart pick.

DARK JEANS

Switch from your white jeans to the dark one. You won’t like the stains from the rain! Colored jeans are great because it can be your workwear staple as well. You can decide to wear it with your basic white tee, and it will still look fantastic.

 

THE TALL BOOTS

Along with booties, there should be a place for tall boots in your closet. They are the perfect companion for cold weather – wearing them with skirts will make you cozy, even on a cold rainy day! Suede and leather materials should be your choices.

THE DUSTER COAT

Light and fashionable, duster coat is a sporty version of the trench coat. It usually comes without buttons, only with the belt. You can style it with both sneakers and heels. Pick some neutral color like beige, black or grey.

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.

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.

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!

6 Fat-Burning Foods: How to Boost Your Metabolism

0 comments

Summer is here, and that can mean only one thing – now it is time to show off our perfect beach bodies. If you think you are not quite ready, don’t worry. I have gathered some of the best fat-burning foods to help you boost your metabolism while not being in the gym.

From avocado and egg to the berries and green tea, all these fat-burning foods are fantastic for building your muscles, and what is even more important they will reduce the cravings (is this even possible, girls?).

Incorporate these fat-burners into your daily routine, and you will immediately feel better!

 

AVOCADO

Avocado works like this – it uses monounsaturated fats, which are very heart-friendly, to burn fats! It comes as a perfect energy booster for training. Avocado is also full of antioxidants, and powerful vitamins.
They will reduce your stomach bloat and water retention. According to the studies, 40% of participants that have eaten half of the avocado for their lunch haven’t eaten a few hours after that. Isn’t that perfect?

 

EGGS

Eggs are a perfectly natural combination of animal protein and healthy fats. They contain nine essential amino acids and polyunsaturated fats. Eggs keep you energized for a long time during the day.
Make sure to buy farm-fresh eggs. They might be more expensive, but it is worth the cost.

 

BERRIES

Berries are tasty, and they help you reduce the cravings. They are loaded with fibres, an anti-inflammatory antioxidant that boosts your immune system works.  Strawberries can protect you from some types of cancer, while blueberries are loaded with vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese. Raspberries help in the regulation of your blood sugar. Blackberries contain quercetin – an antioxidant that reduces the risk of heart disease.

 

OLIVE OIL

The best type of olive oil that is produced by natural methods is extra virgin olive oil. All these fat-burning foods when prepared can lose their effects. That is why it is the best to use this type of oil when burning calories or dieting.

Olive oil is full of monounsaturated fats, as well as with vitamins K and E. This oil is convenient for massage as well.

 

GRAPEFRUIT

When you decide to have a cheat day full of chips, and other not-so-healthy food, you should detoxicate yourself with a grapefruit juice. Why? Grape is full of soluble fiber which helps in maintaining your blood sugar levels as well as insulin spikes after eating so many junk food.
When consumed before a meal, it serves as a suppressant – which means that the body will digest it longer.

 

GREEN TEA

If you are planning to reduce coffee, and switch to something else, then you should definitely opt for a green tea. It has less caffeine than regular black coffee, so it is a perfect substitution.
The benefits of green tea are brain function improved, fat-burning potential and many others. This tea also reduces free radicals in the body. Studies have shown that it is perfect protection from some types of cancer.

 

Which of these fat-burning foods is your favourite? Do you use something else to boost your metabolism?
