How to Write a Successful Shopping Blog

Looking to start a blog- not sure of what kind yet? Try writing a shopping blog especially if shopping is your passion. Think of how much fun you will have letting people know the great deals you have found. But if you are a homebody, then please reconsider that idea. I must admit that when I first started blogging I thought it would be mainly tips to save money. But then, I thought that I am so much more than that. So yes I do share tips and deals, but not just that. I do save money on items that are considered necessities from time to time. But let's face it there are some months that we are living paycheck to paycheck, so every penny saved is awesome.

But let's face it there are some months that we are living paycheck to paycheck, so every penny saved is awesome.
Here is a list of tips to help you make your shopping blog successful.
  • Share your experiences. Readers love to get to know you.
  • Share the deals that you received, but also look for other deals as well. Everybody's taste are different (what may not interest you, might interest your readers.) Just make sure to add your personal insight as well.
  • Do not just list the deals. Tell the readers what the savings are and tell them that they should put their savings into the bank.
But please take this word of advice - yes your blog is a business, but when it comes to the point that it feels like it is a chore then take a break from it. A day or two or maybe even more to reevaluate the direction your blog is taking will help to rebuild your enthusiasm and creativity. Readers will thank you for it.
Good luck and happy shopping and blogging.
I used to follow some bloggers whose main goals were about saving money. In fact, I know a few and I realized that these bloggers were not the ordinary everyday people that you would meet on the street. These bloggers blog about saving money often times posting deals that they will get paid to post and not disclosing they are getting paid to post those deals. Now there is nothing wrong with making money the problem I have with this is that they are not disclosing that they themselves are getting paid to promote those deals.
I have also seen and met some bloggers who claim to be frugal, but who really aren't. I am not going to name names. Me, I am frugal but the main focus of my blog is just survival plain and simple. Now I am not saying that all bloggers are like that, because most aren't.
So be careful when checking out blogs about saving money.
