BBC Part 1

Hey you guys! Hope everyone is doing well. This post is going to be a bit different from my usual but I hope it is to some of you gals! I decided to participate in Sanam's Blog Building Challenge because I thought it would be cool to pass on some great tips to you all. The challenge is basically a lesson in becoming a better blogger. This may be of special interest to those of you who are like me! Anyone who would like to or already have started their own fashion/personal style blog can learn from this. I know many of you would like to know: How do you improve the quality of your blog content? How can you gain more blog readership and followers? The challenge started the beginning of August and will last for the entire month. There will be two posts, including this one, to discuss whether the blogging tip were of use or not.

Tip #1
1. What was the tip you chose to try?
I chose to try applying for a feature on Teen Vogue Snapshot.

2. What were the pro's?
Getting featured is one of the best ways to earn more page views and visitors to your blog. Especially when you are noticed by well-known/popular websites and magazines! Applying for TeenVogue Snapshot is very simple. Just fill out their contact form in the link I provided above and have a full-body photo of your look ready to submit. If you were accepted, you will receive an email saying that you have been chosen as TeenVogue.com’s Best Dressed Readers of The Day and will be asked to place a badge for recognition on your blog! Being noticed always feels like a great accomplishment and even though the feature only lasts for a day, the post is forever in their archives. I recently applied for Teen Vogue's Snapshot and was featured here!



3. What were the con's?
Many people apply every day to get featured and Teen Vogue only features someone once a day (though this is what makes you special when you do get pick out of the hundreds!) so have a little patience. Give it at least a week or two for them to look over your application and receive a reply.

4. Overall, was the tip effective? Would you recommend others to try it or was it a waste of time?
I think this tip is very effective because it has been the best way for me to get exposure with blogging ever since I started! I would definitely recommend this for others to try as it is a MUST. The day I got featured, my stats sky rocketed and I received tons of comments from people who found my blog through Teen Vogue. It made me very happy know that people like my style, appreciate the effort I put into this blog, and be a step closer to inspiring another person! If you don't get accepted, you can always try again. Don't lose hope!

I hope this post was a success in giving some tips and suggesting for blogging and is helpful for all you bloggers out there! Let me know if you tried it out and how this post was. I will be back with round two sometime in mid or late August.
