So if there are any budding bloggers and entrepreneurs around here get ready to take some notes on    "How To Create A Successful Blog"



Abhi : So Shalini tell us a little about the birth of StylishByNature?
Shalini : I always loved wearing stylish outfits since my childhood. I inherited that from my parents. I was posting my outfits on various portals for the past few years and was getting requests to start blogging. Initially I ignored the requests due to a time crunch. However, eventually I gave it a serious thought and started pursuing my passion for fashion with my blog.
Abhi : So what were you doing before StylishByNature was born? Shalini : I am a Computer Engineer by education and was serving a multi-national company as a Senior Operations Manager.
Abhi : So you gave up your job for your passion and to create a successful blog? Must have been a tough decision. Shalini : Yes, such decisions are never easy. It is like choosing between your heart and your mind. But I love fashion and I believe that to make anything a success you need to give it a 100%.
Abhi: What made you believe that blogging could be a full time career? Shalini : Digital media and digital marketing are growing at a very fast pace and I wanted to make sure that I am at the right place at the right time.
Abhi : What was the biggest hurdle when you started blogging? Shalini : It was plagiarism.  Abhi : When did you really start getting traffic to your blog? Shalini  : I never looked into traffic and statistics too much. I was blogging to connect with like-minded people and was thoroughly enjoying the process. I think people find you if they like you. Abhi : How has blogging changed your life?  Shalini : Blogging helped me connect with the style diva within me. The one that zooms into action once you throw a challenge at her.
Abhi : What are some of the brands and collaborations you have worked on as a blogger? Shalini :  Allen Solly, Crocs, Bata, Fastrack, zovi.com, fashionandyou.com are some of the brands that I have collaborated with.
Abhi : Can one earn an income from blogging? Shalini : Yes, you can, I know many bloggers who are earning from their blogs.
