Site: Fashionado.net
Founder: E. Vincent Martinez
Site Personality: Fashionado is fun, useful and interesting. Always stylish, never catty.
Since: 2009
Why did you choose this subject?
Fashion and style are subjects I can comfortably speak about. I have been fascinated with [them] ever since I’ve been a kid. [I am] enthralled by Elsa Klensch on CNN.
Is the site profitable?
I do not make income off Fashionado, although I am ready to start marketing ads. I do, [however], host a couple of Google ads. I felt that it was important to allow my blog to get established before setting it up for advertisers. The biggest advice I can offer [bloggers] is to be patient and be completely prepared when launching a blog or website.
How do readers respond to you?
Readers respond quite well — very positively … I get hundreds of daily visitors.
How do you link to other bloggers and get the word out to others that you have a blog?
I network through Facebook and Twitter. A number of friends often repost my links. It also helps that the subjects I blog about and feature on Fashionado use their networks to promote the story.
What do you do when you are not blogging?
Professionally, I teach fashion design. For fun, I go to parties, dress up, dine out, watch movies and shop.
