Recently, I overheard a conversation on the streetcar, and it went something like this, "Oh my god, EVERYONE'S a blogger now. Like, maybe I'll just become a blogger and make so much money." In the year 2017, the ideal career seems to be becoming a fashion blogger or influencer. I mean, when you read about all of the glamourous events they attend, travelling, the great clothes, and of course, the money”who wouldn't think that it was a dream job?
The popularity of the fashion blogger might not be dwindling any time soon, but there are certainly a few bloggers who have gone above and beyond the #ootd and have become some serious boss ladies. Let's not forget that while being a blogger looks glamourous, it takes a lot of hard work and some serious hustle. Here are a few standout bloggers who have built successful businesses from their blogs. Also, BRB, I'm about to start blogging.
Emily Weiss of Into The Gloss, estimated net worth: $10 million
Emily Weiss was inspired to start her blog while she was assisting Elissa Santisi, the style director at Vogue. She started her blog in 2010, and used it to launch another passion of hers: a beauty brand. Glossier has quickly become a favourite amongst the beauty crowd. The brand’s message of being “a beauty movement that celebrates real girls, in real life,” has been well-received so far, to say the least. Now us Canadians just need to wait for Glossier to ship here!
