Be our friend on Facebook!

Admittedly we were a little late to the Facebook game for iBlogFashion&Beauty – with all our fabulous followers on Twitter we got a little complacent – but we just launched our own Facebook Page and it’s kind of lonely where we are.

Come join us and like us? Pretty please! There may be some whipped cream and cherries on the top for you soon.

We’re currently planning a slight refresh of the iBlogFashion&Beauty homepage and website – with the Beauty and Fashion Bloggers Directory running smoothly, it’s time to revamp the rest of the site! Stay tuned!

iBlogFashion & Beauty teams up with Stellar for blogger panel

We’re about a month late with this post, our myriad of computer issues since the event (on October 26th) is really no excuse.

We held the blogger panel event for PR and marketing executives with the aim of educating the room full of 100 – 120 people on blogging, especially in the world of fashion and beauty blogging. Renee Creer from Steller held court as our resident MC while the panel consisted of Elise Phillips of Stuff That I Bought and The Nail File, Tania Braukamper of Fashionising, Sarah Macrae of Bella Sugar Australia and myself, Helen Lee, iBlogFashion & Beauty Founder and editor of SASSYBELLA.com.

Topics we covered included:

New Influencers + Traditional Journalism

  • Peer to peer opinion/recommendation now most trusted source of information
  • Bloggers as opinion leaders & independent voices
  • What do blogs offer over traditional media?
  • What are the key differences between bloggers and beauty/fashion journalists? (trained v amateur, paid v ‘for love’)
  • The personal nature of blogging
  • Blogger communities

What are the common PR misconceptions

  • That blogs are mouthpieces for PR messages
  • That blogs are a cheap way to generate online buzz
  • That blogs are a free distribution channel. I.e. Bloggers will just copy your press release on to their sites.
  • That bloggers can be bought?
  • That bloggers are obligated to write on your product, event etc
