By Joanna Walsh


The way we communicate and interact has been revolutionized by social media. Bloggers have been given a platform to achieve global influence. Personal style bloggers have become a real force over the past decade. The top fashion and lifestyle blogs are turning into successful businesses with some bloggers becoming celebrities who often feature in the media.

Individual fashion bloggers have a wide reach, with many having over a million followers. Consumers follow them to get style advice, inspiration, to learn about trends and get suggestions on products to buy. This is why many brands have taken notice. As bloggers have a large, trusted and loyal audience, brands have realized that it makes sense to collaborate with them and gain access to their networks. There are even social media tools that have been developed to help brands identify influential bloggers.

Bloggers are sought after by even high end brands such as Hugo Boss. They create videos for them, model for them and sometimes even collaborate on designs. A phenomenon of recent fashion shows is all the bloggers sitting in the front rows.

Photographs often play a large part in a blog. These photographs need to be bright, clear, sharp and well composed to capture the most attention. Bloggers often have to become proficient photographers and use good equipment if they want to be really successful.

Posts are often photo-heavy but the written content is also very important. Styles vary considerably but the best bloggers are able to engage with their audience in a personal way. Content is also often information rich with honest reviews about products. Many of them are inspirational, giving their readers advice, tips and ideas for improving their lives. The beautiful thing about a blog is that followers can read focused content in a style of delivery that suits them. They are also interactive and followers can post comments for all to see. The shift is from mass communication in one direction to varied interaction in which specialized interests can share ideas.

Human beings have always told stories. In this computer age, blogging provides a new way to tell stories, to share with one another and to pass on lessons learned. No topic is off limits and there is always an audience, no matter how obscure it might be. For more mainstream topics, there are huge audiences who benefit from the interaction with one another.

Lifestyle bloggers write about a great variety of topics. Many of them are mothers and wives and they write about subjects that appeal to other women. Parenting, decorating, crafts, food and organizing are just some of these subjects. Many of them write in a personal way as though they are conversing casually with a friend. Their followers are given a peek into their lives.

Bloggers often choose to blog about a topic that interests them. As they begin to develop an audience, so their influence grows. Before long, they may be surprised to find that they are in a position to inspire and influence others. The next thing is that they may be approached by businesses who want to take advantage of this fact. What may have started as a simple blog has the potential to be much more.
