So you want to be a blogger - with Hanna Väyrynen - 008

This time on Happy Hell we scrutinise the blogging sphere together with Hanna Väyrynen, who is the soul and beauty behind Strictly Style, a super successful style blog.

 

Hanna has been one of the first professional bloggers in Finland, she started back in 2009, and since then her Strictly Style blog has collected awards such as Best Fashion Blog, Most Stylish Blog, The Inspiration Blog and is read by thousands of readers every month. Plus Hanna is currently the brand ambassador of Lancome in Finland. 

 

With all of these achievements under her belt, it's natural that she is a role model for many aspiring bloggers and this is why in this episode of Happy Hell podcast Hanna and I focus on the best practices and basic habits each style and fashion blogger should have. However first and foremost she is a devoted mother of three boys, and you can imagine it keeps her busy. To save some of Hanna’s time we conducted the interview in Hanna’s home. So the audio quality might be slightly off  - with occasional coughs and shuffles and a refrigerator hum. 

 

Stick it out with us though, it’s worth it. And if you once in a while here thumping, that’s Hanna hitting the table to emphasise a point like when she goes “don’t do the project”.

 

The 8th episode of Happy Hell podcast is called So you want to be a blogger - and we cover a lot, starting from how blogging became a profession, what business models are available for professional bloggers, how to decide your pricing, how to find collaborators and what it means to be your own personal brand.
