It's funny how the passion for Fashion Blog went that quiet...
I'm like F0F0 looking forward to read somebody with his/her experience using paid search marketing !
I got a small thing to say...
I can see more and more, men's fashion blogs with Cars ad, Liquors ad, and bad taste things. I'm wondering how the admins cannot feel guilty to put stuff like that on their websites.
Ok they won money, ok ad companies and brands will RT on Twitter, and sometimes free clothes but come on !
That's it.... sorry about that litte angry moment...
Salut kikiss and relax!

I don't see any problem with seeing ads in a men's journal, magazine, fanzine, newspapers, etc. As a matter of fact I certainly expect to see those as a male consumer. Whilst I don't like ads I also tacitly understand that pay the bills for the provider of the product/service am consuming/using.
As for the thing about being bad taste, well, that depends on the eye of the beholder!
 John Waters, the film master of bad taste 
, loves Commes de Garçons (is she that awful 
?). But if the target audience doesn't like the ads, the credibility of the fashion blogger will eventually go away and soon will follow his/her audience and sponsors. The production of fashion blogs should continue in order to support emerging (and established) designers. Now more than ever before!!! Why? Because of the insatiable, enormous consumer appetite for fresh clothes coming from western countries and emerging economies (translated in those ever-faster production cycles rates from the likes of Zara, H&M, Primark et al, which in turn requires loads of new design and designers, which in turn demands tons of promotional activity, which in turns necessitates hundreds of fashion curators like kikiss and other fashion bloggers, which in turns...etc.). If I had a private jet, plenty of time, and strong and massive lungs I'd travel around the world shouting: "Fashion blogger, don't quit!"

	
 Since when AD is the CONTENT?  (Well, actually some nonpurist, myself included 
, check Vogue just for the photo shoots 
). 
  I bet if Wilde was still alive Hyundai would sponsor him a car to go on a national lecture-tour throughout the whole USA...and I don't visualise him complaining about it (perhaps just with a witty irony quote?)!  
 So yes, perhaps one day we will see The Sartorialist beating Vogue in readership! 
  So again I shout: Fashion blogger, don't quit!
,  I'd suggest you to choose a blog platform based on your future needs and the type of fashion blogger you want to become. What would YOU like to achieve in the long term? Do you want to monetize through advertising? Get freebies from brands? Promote brands you love just for fun? Develop your writing skills? Network? Create body of work to launch a professional career or land a freelance job? Interact with people around the world? Or is it just a personal endeavor? 
 ) Then, focus on defining your TARGET AUDIENCE (note: men come in different colours and shapes! Choose a particular segment and stick with it! DO NOT attempt to reach every men in every country, better yet try to reach a very particular type of men, with similar lifestyle, you are sure you can find everywhere in the western world and that's interested in checking out your creation) creating MORE CONTENT (9 pages are not enough for those content hungry audiences of today!
