A Week of Blogsperiment - The Reveal



Day 1
So curvy divas, getting straight to the point, I did the blog-speriment because I wanted to see if my viewership/readership would grow or decrease by doing only photo blogging with links, and/or very little information.



Day 2
                                     

As a blogger, as much as I do enjoy doing what I do, if I say  that it doesn't matter whether I have a readership or not, I would be lying.  Every writer wants, needs to know that their work is appreciated and liked...yes, and/or loved...even if only by one or two people!  That knowledge is motivating enough to give us that secret smile of work well-done!  Since I've started this blog my readership/clicks have grown. Yes that secret smile is on my face as I write that fact!

I love reading other blogger's work.  I admire those who are able to do what they do and make a living from it.  I also like looking at how their site is set up and comparing their blog's look to mine.  There are some real professionals online who are the ultimate bloggers that I dream to be one day, on my own terms of course!

Day 3

There are fashion bloggers who post outfits they wear, finds they buy and celebrity designer wares.  Some of them post really lovely photographs which garners a lot of readership, and they also garner everything that goes along with having a large readership.  Some bloggers will post photos and a description of the clothing, and where to find, cost, etc.  Some will have a story to tell, and/or write up an article in their style to post with their photographs.  Some do not.  It just depends on the blogger's style. However, for some, no matter what they do, they have a large following no matter what they do.


Day 4


I post photographs with my articles.  Sometimes the photographs are linked from the sources that I am writing about, at other times, they are my own, sometimes they are from the research I have done.  Some of my articles, depending on the topic will have a large viewership, and some do not.  I have learned that it just depends on the topic I am writing about, and whether it is interesting or not, that garners the readership that I have.

Day 5

On day one, the first day of the experiment, I garnered a readership of 23, page view of 80.  On Day 2, there were 13 readership; Day 3, 14 readership; Day 4, 20, and I noted a page view of 107; and on the final day of my week-long blogsperiment there were 5, at the time that I checked earlier that day.  Below however, shows the final results:

Day 5: Week of Photo Blogging: Hats                           18 reader count 
Day 4: Week of Photo Blogging: The Look                   29 reader count
          Day 3: Week of Photo Blogging: Trendy Outfits            19 reader count
          Day 2: Week of Photo Blogging: Spring Trend              19 reader count
         Week of Photo Blogging: Statement Necklaces              27 reader count



Unfortunately, overall, I didn't make a note of each day's page views for each day of the experiment.  What did I learn?  I learned that you, my curvy divas, love to learn "stuff" to coin a word.  You don't just like to see photographs, you want to know details, details, details.  I find that when I write, giving my "spin" on the topic at hand, that garners the most readership!

We are fashionistas, with a passion for learning! We don't want to only look beautiful, we have brains behind the beauties! The 'nuts & bolts' of this blog-speriment is if you are a blogger, you have to put the work in to your blog. Having new content on a regular basis is a big plus. That is how you gain readership, and also a loyal following!  If you have read with me up to the end of this rather long article, more kudos to you!

How to Wear Glitter in the Daytime

Have you ever worn sequin aka glitter?  It is pretty much a trend in fashion these days.  Glitter is worn mostly at nights and for real special and dressier occasions. But not so today curvy divas. Glitter can also be worn during the day!  I've worn glitter during the day time before and I try to make it look as understated as possible!  You don't need too much accessories when you wear glitter.  It is pretty much how you put your outfit together! On Elle.com Amanda Fitzsimons interviewed designer Marissa Webb who is known for using sequins during the daytime!  Amanda wanted to know if this look (daytime glitter) can really work? Marissa said it definitely can and thinks it is in how shine the sequinned (or glittered) garment that choose to wear is. It is not just in the size of the beadings at all! I tend to agree with her.   I don't think a really shiny sequinned garment on its own, would work for daytime. That would definitely be overkill! ...

Fall 2012 Trends

Summer is not yet over but already the fashion world has moved on, for some time now, to Fall !  I love to peruse any information I see about Fall Fashions before the season begins too; learning what the colors and styles will be, and to see if there are any trends to follow. Where trends are concerned, I firmly believe that it is best to choose the look that will work best for you.  You can follow a trend, but you should tweak it to make it your own! This is how you discover your own sense of style! I love receiving emails from Ken Downing, Fashion Director for Neiman Marcus !  He shared quite a lot of details in his latest E-mail newsletter to me!  To start off, one of Fall's fashion trend will be the: Statement Handbag : Michael Kors Skorpios Haircalf Ring Tote - $1,695 from Neiman Marcus on neimanmarcus.com Yes, animal print continues even into the Fall season!  Budget conscious divas will do what we do best and shop around for th...

The Best Hair Color for You

You choose your outfit with care, down to the shoes you wear for that particular look.  You put your makeup on, and now it's time for your hair.....why is it not looking its best?  Everything that you do in trying to style it, is just so wrong!  You're ready to scream or pull your hair out!!!! Have you ever had a bad hair day?  I know I have, more than once!  Usually, if I'm lucky, I'll have time to wear a hat, a wig or pin my hair in a way to make it work!  It doesn't matter who you are, for every woman, if your hair isn't at its best, you will not be too ! When you have your hair, as some might say "did" or "done" you know you will be at your fabulously curvy best !  One of the  things I like to do is color my hair. Yes, it's chemical, so I guess I'm not totally au naturel!  You can try a rinse, which is a way to temporarily color your hair with a new look, or you can use a permanent color and rock your hair the way you want! ...
