Could I make money with a beauty/fashion blog?

Question

I'm 17 and my sister is 15, and like most of you our family is pretty strapped for cash right now. I work a part-time job at Hollister but that barely covers my needs, let alone helpful to my family.

I was browsing on Youtube the other day and I found all these videos with girls showing you how they do their hair and make-up, and to be honest they're pretty crappy videos, but they still have hundreds of thousands of views!

So since I have a Macbook with the nifty camera, I was thinking that me and my sister should start a Youtube account showing everyone how to do their hair and make-up in certain styles that I always get asked how I do it.

Along with that I was thinking I can add a link to a fashion and beauty blog where I can post fashion advice, beauty tips, put together outfits, etc. I think I'd be really good at it, and if I got enough traffic to my page I could make money with advertisements!

What do you think of all this? Could it work? What service would you recommend for the blog? Any advice would help out a lot, I'm completely new to all of this! :)

Answer 1

Yeah, you can make money with advertisements!

You can sign up to Google AdSense and get people to click on them.

But you can't write "PLS CLICK ON MY ADS!" though... Lol

I earned about 25$ in a couple of weeks... That's not bad for a start !

When you get more hits, you will get more clicks and earn more.

You could also choose the pop-up option so everyone who visits clicks.

I'll click on your ads for you, if you want !

Good luck ! ;]

Answer 2

It will really just depend on the quality of your videos.

If they are :

- Helpful

- Explain throughly

- Give advice on products and where you can buy them

I think you could make some money, but unless you get a fan club or something... you won't make any great amount of money. It's worth a shot though.

Good Luck!
