Gone through the complete interview in my spare time today . A well covered interview .The Best answer which I have to myself is follow your passion ,if possible make your passion as your profession .Its not self bragging but to motivate others who do not take risks in their life .Please do take risks .No body used to play Golf with me while I was an average Golfer so at age 44, I took it very serious,worked day and night and at age 54, I became an International Golf Coach while in US under US Golf Teachers Federation and later of Indian Golf Union ...this is Passion ..so follow it .Today any body would love to play with me but no time ,life got busy .
Truly said Aakriti! I can totally relate with you! I started blogging 2 years ago with the motive to share my views about books,fashion,music, makeup etc. It's still a passion and I love every bit of it. I'm still doing it with my studies which is so so so difficult to handle but I don't regret anything! Good luck x
Helpful video thanks for making this. Please tell me if there are any free video and photo editing softwares that I can just get my hands onto and just simply start learning bit by bit. Currently I just use a little bit of picasa to set the lights and saturation but obviously it doesn't give me the detailed editing option everything happens on the complete picture level I hope you understood what I mean.
I just went through the comments, n really so nice to see you both writing and replying to everybody.. its a good sign of caring for your audience. I have talked to Aakriti once on instagram :) (Parleen..Ambala..) You people are awesome. So adorable. And thanks to all the inspiration from you both.. now that i am over with my studies, i will be taking blogging full time :) Hoping to send you people link soon :) Keep up the good work :)
i was stunned at looking the amount of subscribers u earned with in a very short span..like 5k in just 5 months...this is really insane u guys...i c ur channel growing day by day...dats coz u guys r just osm..love u both
Gosh such an inspiring video i came through..And trust me i just started blogging and u guys gave me so positive vibes..More success and power to your blog.. Loads of love 😊😊
This was really helpful !! Can you pls make a video showing us exactly what all is involved in making a post and how you do it- the outfit selection, makeup, location, shooting, editing,etc. It would be really helpful.
Hi Aakriti and Shaurya ! First of all you guys are doing really great and have actually inspired me and my best frnd too for starting a youtube channel. I have a question regarding creating a youtube channel. So i know the basics but i was wondering if u can help me on this one thing. whenever we watch your video, your logo comes with these tiny moving hearts, how does that happen? Do we need a graphic designer or something or is it something that can be done with a software by ourselves. Pls help !
Hey there Aakriti. I'm Simar. Hope you're doing great! This was the best video so far on your channel, very informative and helpful. I have a few things to ask you regarding blogging. So i own an accessories brand of my own and i love styling so i was wondering if I could style them myself and post pictures on my instagram and Facebook page. I have tried several times to style and click pictures but they never come out good enough to post. My face isn't photogenic and i don't look good when clicked by a dslr. Please help me with some trips or tricks which can help me and my brand as a whole.
+Stardust Co Hey! Happy that you liked the video. Love I think that for promoting your brand, you should get a model, do a professional catalogue shoot and post on your website. After that you can collaborate with established bloggers with good following. And you yourself too can click pictures and post but don't just depend on yourself. If you want to shoot yourself, pick good backdrops, get a good photographer, focus on good lighting and makeup.
The best video that I've ever seen on tips n tricks about fashion blogging...keep posting such informative videos...😘❤ and I love the logo of your channel... its really cute...:)
And yes how can i forget to mention.. its by far the most informative and amazing video bout dis thing from a number of videoz i have seen!! really helpful n good! Congratulations!
thnx for making this video..... :) now I wanna start blogging but once I start blogging how can i colb with brands as m very interested in fashion related things
Hey grls...hve been watching ur videos 4 some days...& m shocked that I hve so many of dem...& i love dem all....I always wanted 2 know abt dis blogging thng...thnx 4 enlightening...luv u both...keep posting such videos...n d nxt tym...a video on latest clothes in fashion...I love clothes...thnx😘
Hey aakritii and shauryaaaa. This is an amazing video.. Thanks for making me know and improve my knowledge. Only one question for you, how to get crowd on the blog. Even I am a blogger (just started) , but is it only about clicking pictures about the outfits?.
This young Generation is going to transform our Country ,had been seeing in Foreign Countries while on my Golf Tours but never realized it will be here .God Bless you Girls
Wowowowow! This video is really helpful. I like your honesty and the way you tried to inspire us. I want to know about your blog in the early stage. I mean it takes alot of time and efforts 'cause nothing is easy. If you guys are planning to do another Q/A video please do mention my question. Question : How did you become so popular in such small period of time? Was it all because of the social sites like Instagram or Facebook?
Really loved ur video.. Amazing stuff.. !! I cud very well relate to wat Shaurya was taking about, cuz even i wanna do blogging, but i hv a full time job to cope up with. That's y i dont get enogh time to do it... Anyways. U girls r amazing.. Keep up the good work :)
Truly Inspiring and Captivating👍🏻Clearly shows how dedicated you are👏🏻 Love your blog posts💗 also wanted to know who clicks most of your pictures🙂Your picture quality and editing is simply fascinating✨
Omg! You two are cutest you tubers I have ever come across♡♡ Thank you Aakrti.. I just wanted to know since there are so many bloggers coming every now and then how to be one who leads the flock or how do you survive competition & be that out of box chic.. Thank you again..Xoxo
+Twinkle Matta Thank you so much :) For standing out, you should find your niche and do something that makes you unique. Click amazing pictures with stunning backgrounds, be regular with your work, interact with other bloggers/ followers and do good work.
thanku sooooo much ....and i will definitely work hard on that and will implement your advice in an efficient manner. keep inspiring me and all ur fans😊❤❤
+jyoti Yadav Hey! I am pretty good with camera and editing so I made my mom click initially and now my friends click or husband and sometimes photographer friends.
+Vibhuti Desai Thank youuu :) Well you need to shoot, be regular, increase your social media following and then brands will recognize your hard work and contact you themselves
Aww Aakriti & shaurya i just have started watching your videos and loved u guys... thanks for such a informative video..i am myself a blogger but i do have a question that does buying a domain help and if by how as i also use Blogger for blogging but i am looking to monestise ..and wanted to have a suggestion that i should buy my domain before monetising? P.s love u guys

Hey its such a great video. U guys make blogging seem so simple and i adore u both. Also i have a que not related to the video. 🙈 Aakriti how did u and parleen meet? 😁 U guys make such a cute couple 😍😍
Omg love the video, completely understand the part where it takes so much time. Trying to handle two things and trying to fit blogging into is do beyond difficult. :( BUT LOVV YOUR VIDEOS!
heyyy .aakriti and shaurya best wishes to you both .. so I wana know that is it something like we have to approach the brands in the beginning or the other way round??
+Debipriya Das Thank youuu :) No hun. You lose your value if you approach the brands yourself. They would always pay you less that way. You should do good work, have patience, click amazing pictures, write your blogs regularly and promote them well which will be recognized by brands eventually.
U both r most most most adorable... N I relate my frnd n myself with u both on everything... Every single thing... V wr in d same city in d past n nw in diff cities n hoping to live in the same city again like u both. In one of the prev videos u mentioned Shaurya always tc of u so my bff also always is der to tc n more of a kiddish one :p... Like u both even v aren't liking the monotonous jobs! V r CAs and currently working in diff cities but lit v crib towards the end of the day... I force my bff to watch ur videos cz dey r just so relatable.. Also u both r so sweet n soft spoken n polite that feels like I keep listening to u both... N Aakriti I love ur room just love it! It's smewhat sim to my room too. Pink n white n fairy lights 😍😍😘😘
hey ! you girls are the inspiration for all. 😘😘....today i come to know ,its really a lot of hard work there...love u both❤️❤️ ..is there a lot of competition in this field ??
hey nice video guys. I am still dreaming to start a fashion blog...and i've named it as well but dont have any content as yet...lacking confidence and confused too , about how to begin, what should i come up first with.
You never know what you are capable of doing until you do it. Maybe you'll do really well. Have confidence. Start shooting in good outfits n posting about latest trends
+Pretty Little Things thank you so muchhh for encouraging...it feels good when bloggers help their followers , nice talking to you and yes keep up the good work. Much love aakriti.😘😍
It really helped a lot. Still wanted to know that do you have to go to different brands for collaborations or they themselves come to you seeing your blog? :)
Hi guys, I've just started a fashion and lifestyle blog. I run of out pictures. Since I don't always have someone to click a picture of me, I use my cellphone to do the task. Is this kind of photo (either selfies or through timer) appropriate to post on blog? Can I google images and upload on my blog? And thanks for this video :)
+Jasmin Khakhar Hi there! Like we mentioned, you need time and dedication for this. It's not easy. You can post selfies and anything on your blog bt it would get you a good response and your growth will be very less. You need professional shoot and pictures for blogging.
How do brands contact fashion bloggers in initial stages ? And should we start with posting pictures in outfits we buy from mango or vera moda or something? Would you recommend this with a full time college?
Hey! This field is all about talking about fashion. Post in any outfit which you feel is in trend and talk about it. Brands will contact u themselves when they see your good work. N I won't recommend this with college. Focus on completing your education first
You are a person everyone can get motivated from and u r the true inspirational to the teenagers right now U r sooo amazing ❤ N this video is so helpfull 😻
Hi aakriti.. You are one of the most genuine and sweet blogger ❤️ and i LOVEE your new mirror 😍 This video helped me a lot. I want to start beauty and fashion blog but I feel I can work better on instagram rather than on wordpress or google blogger. Plus I don't have laptop to work there. So is it necessary to make account on google blogger or wordpress. Can instagram only work well ? Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Hi, Thank you so much :) How can you call yourself a blogger without a blog? Instagram is not a blog. Its a social media platform to increase your views on blog. Big brands would need you to post on your blog. If u just work on Instagram, you would limit the people who would work with you.
I just love your videos!! I'm not interested in blogging but still I watched this video till the end...cuz u people are amazing.....your Instagram theme is soooo cuteeee *pink* .......waiting for new videos....much love from Rajasthan💜💙💚💛❤️
Hi Aakriti My question is that did you get your logo register? And also blogging is your main work or you do something else too apart from such a difficult job?
heya i am gonna start using nikon d5200 soon can u suggest which remote i can use with that? because the one i was planning to get my hands on i just used for photos not videos.. and which remote you are using?
+Bhavi Motwani Hey there, you can search for a remote which is compatible with your camera on ebay/ amazon. I use Canon 600D and got canon's remote from Ebay for the same.
That's an informative video n thanks for inspiring a lot of us ❤️ keep it going.. want to see a video about wardrobe essentials :) hope to see it :) Much love frm Bangalore 😘
+aarti verma Initially when you have low following and less view on blog, brands would work on barter with you. Then with increase in your following you can start with a basic amount you feel comfortable shooting in and eventually when you have a huge following and ca give brands a good visibility, start increasing your charges.
which lens do you use for photo shoot aakriti? can you suggest which lens is best for portrait photography or blog photoshoot? and which photoshop is best for windows?
+Pretty Little Things adobe light room is good or adobe photoshop? and how did you learn these manual settings for photoshoot by yourself ? any classes you had joined or something else? please suggest me.
+shwetalima Das (shweetu) Adobe lightroom is just for post production light editing. Adobe photoshop is the main software. And we learned the camera setting on our own over a period of time. You can check youtube for basic settings.
Hey thank you for such an amazing video. You both look so adorable! Aakriti you are the best blogger!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 Even I am thinking to work on blogs and take up blogging as my career. But at the same time I just wanted to ask that should I completely depend on blogging for earning? How would I be earning at the beginning of this career. Please do reply! I find this video very helpful.. Looking forward to your reply and upcoming videos too! 😘😘😘😘😘😘💋💋💋💋💋
+Garima Sinha Hey thank you so much :) And no you should not initially completely depend on blogging for earning. It does not go well for everyone. Sometimes people grow really slow. Even I started blogging while I had a job, I only left once I started doing well.
superbbb video.. i am fan of you guys.. but aakriti i wanna ask some questions.. where do i ask? because after watchin this no doubt you've answered sooo many queries of mine , at the same time i am confused by some new things you told us. i am planning to start my channel .so i wanna knw some really important this ..like wordpress and google.totally confused.. please tell me where do i ask you my questions !!?! Thanks for the video.. 💓💝✌😍😍
+Pretty Little Things so i wanted to ask a little more about wordpress and google.. like benefits and wats best for a beginner.. coz you mentioned that it should be original .. but wat if i learn a few things for here and there on internet and teach my followers? all these questions.. thank you im advance
I had a question regarding the Google blooger. How do you start a Google blogger? How will people get to know about the newcomers? What is the procedure ? Because only a famous Fashion Blogger like you and shaurya di are known. And this video is very helpful from the day I started watching your channel I thought to be a blogger. Thank you so much 😘💕
Signup here www.blogger.com and start your blog. Then be regular in shooting and posting across your social media. Eventually you'll grow and get good traffic on blog
Hi Aakriti.. !! I am a blogger too.. ! However, since I don't know Graphic Designing, I just used a free logo maker app for my blog site. Do you think that should be okay ? Or would you recommend me to get it designed or something ?
can v do blogging with our jobs .. like I wanna do pharmacy n blogging too n I'm confused which one I should do so can do blogging with mah job ? cuz may b at some age I won't get paid though blogging so I'm thinking to do blogging with mahh job as I'm too passionated about it n inspired a lot from ur blog I read all n got confidence too tho ur blogs !😁😅
hey shaurya n aakriti..superb vedio..came out to b so helpful..just 1 ques..does brands tend to collabrate vd bloggers belonging to small cities..like i belong to kanpur so vl my blogging business vl achieve any heights..?? plz answer
+Urvashi Arora Hey! You city matter but little. Most brands would ask you to source clothes from their showrooms in malls and you can do that in Kanpur too. If you become big, they will fly you down for events. But yes if you are in Mumbai or Delhi, you have an advantage.
How do you get the basic money to buy so many clothes,shoes,accessories, makeup and stuff for blogging....collabs are something which come into picture much later....how do you start initially?
+Rashi Jain Initially you can shoot with your own clothes. I never bought anything for blogging. I never even used to do makeup while blogging. Only kajal and lipstick. Later on anyway brands will send you everything for collabs.
Great video (Y) I wanted to ask there are plans for starting a blog. So is it necessary to buy a plan or we can run it for free. How can we make followers through it?
I really want to start fashion blogging. In fact I have even done few casual shoots and posted those pictures on my instagram. But it's not going really amazing or as I thought it would. Any suggestions for hastags or how do I improve it?
+Khyati Sethi Make sure that your pictures stand out. You need very professional shoot with good camera, lighting, interesting backgrounds and make sure that you post regularly.
Hey! First of all, you guys are super cute! 😘 Secondly, ive started my own blog and people are approaching for collaborations, but i dont know how to go about it. Like are we supposed to charge them for the blog we'll be posting for them in the outfits sent by them? ( After how many followers do we start charging for collabs? )
+Aastha Chawla Hi there. Thank youuu :) Hun it depends on your followers and the brands you have worked with. If you have less than about 10k followers and haven't worked with many brands then try working with good brands to increase your portfolio even if its fro free or barter. When your followers increase and good brands approach you, start charging them the basic and eventually increase with an increase in followers as you can give them better visibility on social media then.
Would like to know do u use artificial light and if u don't use a Mike den how is ur sound quality so good ! I wish to start a yt channel it will be helpful if u and please please
+Reena Nikharge We shoot in natural lighting. My room has big windows on two side so plenty of light sets in. We just use a couple of lights while shooting at night but that too like a lamp and fairytale lights. My room has been setup in a way that it absorbs maximum sound so voices dont echo. We also keep the camera really close to us and talk loudly so the sound comes out well
Hey guys. You guys are doing an amazing job. Keep going. So, I'm a huge follower of your blog Aakriti. You are actually my inspiration,my role model. So basically I started my own fashion blog a month ago. I havent been able to gain a lot of followers or popularity. How could I do that? And other than that, I'm too confused about how many pictures to upload for each outfit. As in should it be less (around 2-3) or should we have more of them? (around 10) Thanks. Best of luck :)
+Muskaan Sethi Hey there! Just focus on having high quality pictures with a DSLR camera, good editing, nice backdrops, post at peak hours like 10am-2pm-5pm-9pm and make sure that you are blogging regularly. Also post about 5 pictures per blog, one from each angle.
Gone through the complete interview in my spare time today . A well covered interview .The Best answer which I have to myself is follow your passion ,if possible make your passion as your profession .Its not self bragging but to motivate others who do not take risks in their life .Please do take risks .No body used to play Golf with me while I was an average Golfer so at age 44, I took it very serious,worked day and night and at age 54, I became an International Golf Coach while in US under US Golf Teachers Federation and later of Indian Golf Union ...this is Passion ..so follow it .Today any body would love to play with me but no time ,life got busy .
My passion is to teach Golf and motivate other as Golf is the Game which motivates me the most
Can I start a blog at the age of 16
What about the content? The written part? This was just about how to click good pics and videos!
Truly said Aakriti! I can totally relate with you! I started blogging 2 years ago with the motive to share my views about books,fashion,music, makeup etc. It's still a passion and I love every bit of it. I'm still doing it with my studies which is so so so difficult to handle but I don't regret anything! Good luck x
+Urvee T That's awesome ya. Keep doing what you love! Much love

Currently I just use a little bit of picasa to set the lights and saturation but obviously it doesn't give me the detailed editing option everything happens on the complete picture level I hope you understood what I mean.
pixlr editor is free and I think photoshop cs6 is free to download

No hun. You lose your value if you approach the brands yourself. They would always pay you less that way. You should do good work, have patience, click amazing pictures, write your blogs regularly and promote them well which will be recognized by brands eventually.
Very Inspiring for beginners.
Thank You Pretty Little Things
U both r most most most adorable... N I relate my frnd n myself with u both on everything... Every single thing... V wr in d same city in d past n nw in diff cities n hoping to live in the same city again like u both. In one of the prev videos u mentioned Shaurya always tc of u so my bff also always is der to tc n more of a kiddish one :p... Like u both even v aren't liking the monotonous jobs! V r CAs and currently working in diff cities but lit v crib towards the end of the day... I force my bff to watch ur videos cz dey r just so relatable.. Also u both r so sweet n soft spoken n polite that feels like I keep listening to u both... N Aakriti I love ur room just love it! It's smewhat sim to my room too. Pink n white n fairy lights 😍😍😘😘
Awwww so cute ya!! Thank you so much. And lots of loveee to you both ❤️❤️❤️❤️
hey ! you girls are the inspiration for all. 😘😘....today i come to know ,its really a lot of hard work there...love u both❤️❤️ ..is there a lot of competition in this field ??
+Yadnika Narkhede Thank you so much. And yes there is a hell lot of competition and its increasing day by day.
hey nice video guys.
I am still dreaming to start a fashion blog...and i've named it as well but dont have any content as yet...lacking confidence and confused too , about how to begin, what should i come up first with.
You never know what you are capable of doing until you do it. Maybe you'll do really well. Have confidence. Start shooting in good outfits n posting about latest trends
+Pretty Little Things thank you so muchhh for encouraging...it feels good when bloggers help their followers , nice talking to you and yes keep up the good work.
Much love aakriti.😘😍
It really helped a lot. Still wanted to know that do you have to go to different brands for collaborations or they themselves come to you seeing your blog? :)
+varnika ganbhir They themselves come to you once they see your work :)
Please could u tell how to start a youtube channel, and how to edit videos. And how to earn money through youtube videos!
i dnt hv anything to ask,but I really love wt u guyz do nd I personally luv ur blog alot❤You guyz r truly amazing❤Best wishes😘
+MILONI KHAKHARIA Thank you soooo much
Hi guys, I've just started a fashion and lifestyle blog. I run of out pictures. Since I don't always have someone to click a picture of me, I use my cellphone to do the task. Is this kind of photo (either selfies or through timer) appropriate to post on blog? Can I google images and upload on my blog? And thanks for this video :)
+Jasmin Khakhar Hi there! Like we mentioned, you need time and dedication for this. It's not easy. You can post selfies and anything on your blog bt it would get you a good response and your growth will be very less. You need professional shoot and pictures for blogging.
+Pretty Little Things Thank you so much :) you guys are awesome! I'll note the thing and wish you all the best!!
How do brands contact fashion bloggers in initial stages ? And should we start with posting pictures in outfits we buy from mango or vera moda or something? Would you recommend this with a full time college?
Hey! This field is all about talking about fashion. Post in any outfit which you feel is in trend and talk about it. Brands will contact u themselves when they see your good work. N I won't recommend this with college. Focus on completing your education first
hey aakriti.....
can u please tell me how much does a good camera will cost?
and do we need to buy diffrent lenses with them???
+Cheshta Chopra Hey! A good camera will cost around 30-35k. And yes along with the basic 18-55mm lens, a 50mm portrait lens is a must.
Awesome!!!! Very informative luvz u guyzzz
You are a person everyone can get motivated from and u r the true inspirational to the teenagers right now
U r sooo amazing ❤
N this video is so helpfull 😻
+Divya Pruthi Awww Thank you so much :)
+Pretty Little Things Thank you so much for replying
You just made my day ❤
N u both are justtt Awsomeee 😘😍
Hi aakriti.. You are one of the most genuine and sweet blogger ❤️ and i LOVEE your new mirror 😍 This video helped me a lot. I want to start beauty and fashion blog but I feel I can work better on instagram rather than on wordpress or google blogger. Plus I don't have laptop to work there. So is it necessary to make account on google blogger or wordpress. Can instagram only work well ? Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Hi,
Thank you so much :)
How can you call yourself a blogger without a blog? Instagram is not a blog. Its a social media platform to increase your views on blog. Big brands would need you to post on your blog. If u just work on Instagram, you would limit the people who would work with you.
I just love your videos!!
I'm not interested in blogging but still I watched this video till the end...cuz u people are amazing.....your Instagram theme is soooo cuteeee *pink* .......waiting for new videos....much love from Rajasthan💜💙💚💛❤️
+kinshuka sharma Awww thank you so much
Hi Aakriti
My question is that did you get your logo register? And also blogging is your main work or you do something else too apart from such a difficult job?
+Radhika Mehra I haven't got it registered but I will very soon. And apart from blogging I freelance as a graphic designer too.
heya i am gonna start using nikon d5200 soon can u suggest which remote i can use with that? because the one i was planning to get my hands on i just used for photos not videos.. and which remote you are using?
+Bhavi Motwani Hey there, you can search for a remote which is compatible with your camera on ebay/ amazon. I use Canon 600D and got canon's remote from Ebay for the same.
+Pretty Little Things Thankyou so much ❤
That's an informative video n thanks for inspiring a lot of us ❤️ keep it going.. want to see a video about wardrobe essentials :) hope to see it :)
Much love frm Bangalore 😘
+sushma c s Thank you so much. Sure. Will do that
aakriti that hat looks so cool on u😍 n shaurya u're way too cuteeee❤ n together u guys are just perfect! love ur videos😄😄
+Sakshi Gaur Thank you so much sweety
Hey ! Really helpful
+aarti verma Initially when you have low following and less view on blog, brands would work on barter with you. Then with increase in your following you can start with a basic amount you feel comfortable shooting in and eventually when you have a huge following and ca give brands a good visibility, start increasing your charges.
which lens do you use for photo shoot aakriti? can you suggest which lens is best for portrait photography or blog photoshoot? and which photoshop is best for windows?
Hey! Use the 50mm portrait lens which completely blurrs the background and photoshop is the software itself used for editing in windows
+Pretty Little Things adobe light room is good or adobe photoshop? and how did you learn these manual settings for photoshoot by yourself ? any classes you had joined or something else? please suggest me.
+shwetalima Das (shweetu) Adobe lightroom is just for post production light editing. Adobe photoshop is the main software. And we learned the camera setting on our own over a period of time. You can check youtube for basic settings.
Thank you so much.. great help!😊 wish you all the best for your future to both of you.. keep shining always! 😘❤
Quite informative video... It will help beginners.. I liked ur background...
Hey thank you for such an amazing video. You both look so adorable! Aakriti you are the best blogger!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Even I am thinking to work on blogs and take up blogging as my career. But at the same time I just wanted to ask that should I completely depend on blogging for earning? How would I be earning at the beginning of this career. Please do reply! I find this video very helpful.. Looking forward to your reply and upcoming videos too! 😘😘😘😘😘😘💋💋💋💋💋
+Garima Sinha Hey thank you so much :)
And no you should not initially completely depend on blogging for earning. It does not go well for everyone. Sometimes people grow really slow. Even I started blogging while I had a job, I only left once I started doing well.
superbbb video.. i am fan of you guys.. but aakriti i wanna ask some questions.. where do i ask? because after watchin this no doubt you've answered sooo many queries of mine , at the same time i am confused by some new things you told us. i am planning to start my channel .so i wanna knw some really important this ..like wordpress and google.totally confused.. please tell me where do i ask you my questions !!?!
Thanks for the video.. 💓💝✌😍😍
*important things
+sonali88 Please comment here and ask anything you want :)
+Pretty Little Things so i wanted to ask a little more about wordpress and google.. like benefits and wats best for a beginner.. coz you mentioned that it should be original .. but wat if i learn a few things for here and there on internet and teach my followers?
all these questions.. thank you im advance
+sonali88 *in advance 😘😘😘
amazing just loved it 💞 i needed this information ❤ love you both 💟
Glad you liked the video ❤️
what are the music you use in the background and what software you use to edit your videos?
+Sharmili Being Bengali We pick music from the creators studio of UA-cam and we edit videos on iMovie
ok..thank u so much...u r really kind..
Your videos are really incredible.
I had a question regarding the Google blooger. How do you start a Google blogger? How will people get to know about the newcomers? What is the procedure ? Because only a famous Fashion Blogger like you and shaurya di are known. And this video is very helpful from the day I started watching your channel I thought to be a blogger.
Thank you so much 😘💕
Signup here www.blogger.com and start your blog. Then be regular in shooting and posting across your social media. Eventually you'll grow and get good traffic on blog
Hi Aakriti.. !!
I am a blogger too.. ! However, since I don't know Graphic Designing, I just used a free logo maker app for my blog site. Do you think that should be okay ? Or would you recommend me to get it designed or something ?
Hey! You dont have to be a graphic designer :) and yes that logo will work perfectly well
u guys r superb..😘😘 shaurya u r really cute....😍 and .....waiting for mor videos....😎😎😎 n + ur snaps r awsome👌👍👍
+meenu varma Thank you sooo much
can v do blogging with our jobs .. like I wanna do pharmacy n blogging too n I'm confused which one I should do so can do blogging with mah job ? cuz may b at some age I won't get paid though blogging so I'm thinking to do blogging with mahh job as I'm too passionated about it n inspired a lot from ur blog I read all n got confidence too tho ur blogs !😁😅
And oh, do you'll have to keep on buying clothes always or on a frequent basis or are the gifted by the brand/rented by you? 😅
i really dis video may dis help to most of galzzz n once again u both are lookng stunning in dis lv uhh 😘😘😘
+Sanaa Yadav Thank you so much
hey shaurya n aakriti..superb vedio..came out to b so helpful..just 1 ques..does brands tend to collabrate vd bloggers belonging to small cities..like i belong to kanpur so vl my blogging business vl achieve any heights..?? plz answer
+Urvashi Arora Hey! You city matter but little. Most brands would ask you to source clothes from their showrooms in malls and you can do that in Kanpur too. If you become big, they will fly you down for events. But yes if you are in Mumbai or Delhi, you have an advantage.
How do you get the basic money to buy so many clothes,shoes,accessories, makeup and stuff for blogging....collabs are something which come into picture much later....how do you start initially?
+Rashi Jain Initially you can shoot with your own clothes. I never bought anything for blogging. I never even used to do makeup while blogging. Only kajal and lipstick. Later on anyway brands will send you everything for collabs.
u both r soo cuteee! pls do a make up video evn..I love ur natural makeup..
That was really helpful ❤️
I always wanted to know these stuff
Thank you 💕
+Aashi Kapoor Yayyy!!
Great video (Y) I wanted to ask there are plans for starting a blog. So is it necessary to buy a plan or we can run it for free. How can we make followers through it?
+dhara sachdeva You can start a blog for free. You only need to buy a custom url with your blog's name on it if you want that.
thank you so much :)
thankyouu soo much for sharing information 💋 i absolutely love ur channel as well as your blog
+Janhavi Naik Awwwww! Hugs
thank you for this video and helpful too. please do vlog video or behind the shoot of Ur's. lots of love😘😘
Suree. Will do that :)
I really want to start fashion blogging. In fact I have even done few casual shoots and posted those pictures on my instagram. But it's not going really amazing or as I thought it would. Any suggestions for hastags or how do I improve it?
+Khyati Sethi Make sure that your pictures stand out. You need very professional shoot with good camera, lighting, interesting backgrounds and make sure that you post regularly.
Hey! First of all, you guys are super cute! 😘 Secondly, ive started my own blog and people are approaching for collaborations, but i dont know how to go about it. Like are we supposed to charge them for the blog we'll be posting for them in the outfits sent by them? ( After how many followers do we start charging for collabs? )
+Aastha Chawla Hi there. Thank youuu :)
Hun it depends on your followers and the brands you have worked with. If you have less than about 10k followers and haven't worked with many brands then try working with good brands to increase your portfolio even if its fro free or barter. When your followers increase and good brands approach you, start charging them the basic and eventually increase with an increase in followers as you can give them better visibility on social media then.
+Pretty Little Things Thank you so much! ❤️ Theres a long way for me to go then! 😀 All the best for your channel! 😍
Would like to know do u use artificial light and if u don't use a Mike den how is ur sound quality so good ! I wish to start a yt channel it will be helpful if u and please please
+Reena Nikharge We shoot in natural lighting. My room has big windows on two side so plenty of light sets in. We just use a couple of lights while shooting at night but that too like a lamp and fairytale lights. My room has been setup in a way that it absorbs maximum sound so voices dont echo. We also keep the camera really close to us and talk loudly so the sound comes out well
Do you earn through UA-cam also?
+simran balar Yup! You have to make an adsense account, link it with your UA-cam Channel and monetize your videos
Hey guys. You guys are doing an amazing job. Keep going.
So, I'm a huge follower of your blog Aakriti. You are actually my inspiration,my role model. So basically I started my own fashion blog a month ago. I havent been able to gain a lot of followers or popularity. How could I do that? And other than that, I'm too confused about how many pictures to upload for each outfit. As in should it be less (around 2-3) or should we have more of them? (around 10)
Thanks. Best of luck :)
+Muskaan Sethi Hey there! Just focus on having high quality pictures with a DSLR camera, good editing, nice backdrops, post at peak hours like 10am-2pm-5pm-9pm and make sure that you are blogging regularly. Also post about 5 pictures per blog, one from each angle.
+Pretty Little Things thank you so much. That was really helpful :)
Aakriti Shaurya Start something for Monsoon.... What to wear n all that stuff❤ Btw u guys r awesome😙
I'm starting my own blog soon :) thankyou sweeties for this one
+Prutha Parmar all the very best
