Report: Blog Class Event by Yara Michels ❤

       HELLO LOVELY READERS

Yesterday my day started super early, since I had to be at the Westergasterras in Amsterdam at 11AM for the second edition of BlOG CLASS EVENT hosted by Yara Michels. A lot of you may know her from the super successful blog This Chick's Got Style! I was extremely excited to meet the girl behind one of the biggest Dutch (and international) fashion blogs out there. And to hear from her personally what worked best for her to get where she is now. It was definitely an inspiring morning!

Along with a very nice powerpoint presentation, Yara told her story about how she first started her blog five years ago! She expressed how it was a lot more difficult back then to get an audience, because social media wasn't half as popular as it is now. She also showed her outfit pictures- transformation from when she first started and now. And, THAT was truly impressive and inspiring. 

Yara divided her biggest tips and tricks into seven categories: 

01. Finding your Blog Niche

02. Creating an Editorial Calendar 

03. Visuals (Pictures)

04. Text

05. Attracting & Keeping Readers

06. Social Media

07. LET'S TALK BUSINESS (Turning your blog into a business).

Each category was equally informative and I took her tips very seriously. I have about 10 pages of notes to proof it. After her presentation was done, Yara recommended a few books (including her own) to help grow our blog even further, and did a little Q&A. Afterwards, she also took the time to have a chat with all the bloggers and snap a few pictures. She is so humble and truly an inspiration to me. And if you check her resume and see all the things she has accomplished with her blog so far, you too would aspire to be just like her! :)

Yara was so appreciative and thanked us the entire morning for attending her Blog Class Event and supporting her and her blog. But really, I want to thank her for giving smaller bloggers like myself the opportunity to learn what it really takes to make a blog successful. I can't wait to start implementing her tips into my blog's potential.
