\"Fashion<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tumblr has become one of the fashion world\u2019s favorite players, hosting major brands like DKNY, Banana Republic<\/a>, Urban Outfitters and countless others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The dedicated Tumblr community intent on re-blogging and sharing has made for a fashion blogger\u2019s dream platform. But contrary to all the media attention, few bloggers see overnight success. So what\u2019s the secret to creating your own little slice of Internet fashion heaven? Here\u2019s our guide to starting your own Tumblr fashion blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to start a fashion blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pick and stick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before spilling your rambling thoughts and inspirations onto the web, pick a niche and stick to it. You\u2019ll want your blog brand to make sense to visitors. A blog that reads \u201cscatterbrained\u201d is hard to follow (literally and figuratively). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best bloggers have a distinct subject matter, niche or voice in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Images, images, images<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tumblr thrives as a photo community, so a media-filled blog is a must. You don\u2019t have to be a personal style blogger to fill your space with photo content. Inspiration pics, Instagram<\/a> uploads and more can provide the sought-after, behind-the-scenes glimpses blog readers look for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Runway<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fashion changes by the minute and so should the blogs based on it. While you may not always have time for long-form editorial content, a quick photo post is a snap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tumblr is an amazing social media network, and should be used like one! The best way to grow your blog and its following is to interact with others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find others in your niche, follow, like and comment. The only way for people to find you in such a diluted blogosphere is to let your fabulously fashionable presence be known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give credit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the benefits of Tumblr is the amazing ability to re-blog favorite photos from other users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a new breed of digital journalist, it\u2019s important to stick to age-old rules like citing sources. Crediting images and linking back to original material are fantastic ways to build your reputation and pay homage to those who inspire you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monetize<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Building partnerships with brands isn\u2019t just for big-time bloggers. Even the most beginning Tumblr users can monetize through Google AdSense and ShopStyle programs that suggest products to blog visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Tumblr<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You can also reach out to local boutiques and e-commerce sites to grow your network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be you<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Being original is the best advice we can offer our budding Tumblr fashion bloggers. No one made a name for herself by imitating others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use industry leaders as inspiration if you\u2019d like, but stay true to your own voice and aesthetic. That’s the only way to stand out on the blogosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
