The approach in this article is quite interesting. It shows me the real expense of having a fashion blog 🙂

Since I already owned a computer/camera/smartphone before starting my fashion blog, I must say that I did not realized the costs that you mentioned here.

In fact, the real cost was the domain name (in Romania we pay about 60$ for 10 years – not annualy), the hosting (about 20$ per year) and the annual subscription to a site that provides nice themes for wordpress websites (30$).

The major expense for the fashion blog is the time that i spend for keeping me up to date in the fashion sector and the time for writing the articles.

An interesting discussion would be how the blog owners monetize their fashion blogs.

I agree with some people before me, the biggest expense is being able to show different outfits every time, which makes it important to buy clothes very often. This would also add a couple hundred dollars to the total every year I’m pretty sure 😀

I agree with everything she says.
I will also love to hear about the money that girls expend for going to diferents shows or events. Taxis or subway aren’t free and I will love to know too.
Thanks so much for the info.

Items like camera computer, internet access shouldn’t be counted as everyone has it. All you need is about $60 to purchase a domain name and a hosting. + it is better to by a custom design for your blog it is about $65 on monster templates. That’s it!
I’ve recently started my fashion blog also 🙂 I’ve spent about $120 so far. But It is only beginning.

Please suggest me how to promote it (the link is above).

I too disagree with this article.
Take away the things most of us are already expected to have, and the only other costs listed is a URL and business cards, but it’s not really a necessity to have either. In my opinion, a good fashion blog is one that’s intriguing, well-thought and original- it has nothing to do with money. Why should the latter define how popular your blog is? Fashion blogging is about sharing your personal style, your creativity and what currently excites you, not reserved for only those with funds. A URL and business cards will help you with promotional purposes, but content is what you need to focus on- you can go the whole nine yards in promoting your blog, but no ones going to read it if it’s crap.

Yikes, that seems a bit expensive.

I’ve been a professional blogger for around 7 years and didn’t spend anywhere near that much when I first got myself set up.

Like someone else said, most people already have a laptop and a camera so, unless you’re really unusual, those expenses aren’t needed for a new blogger to get started, IMO.

And is monthly internet that expensive in the US ($45?). I pay $15 a month for unlimited fast Wi-Fi and I’m on it about 12-14 hours a day, around 28 days a month. Can’t imagine paying three times that amount???

Still….you’re definitely giving people food for thought 🙂

Hi,
Here in Brazil we have the same budget, but a little more expensive.

I’d like to add in this list three more things:
– Clothes, accessories and beauty
– Designer
-Programmer

I had to hire a designer/programmer to develop my layout and fix some things.

Great post!
