Weekly Reading 5/18: Big Media Buys Blogs. Blog Branding + Monetization. Maximizing Social Media. Mark Zuckerberg’s Wardrobe Makeover.

Hot off the heels of last week’s FashTech Insights event, we’re gearing up for our next event, a workshop on fashion content monetization through affiliate marketing. We’ll cover how bloggers can discover new automated revenue streams, optimize existing revenue programs, and get access to exclusive brand and retailer programs such as J.Crew, Madewell, Net-a-Porter, Ralph Lauren, Sephora, & more. In that spirit, we’d like to call out some helpful how-tos for building the business side of your blog. Who knows – you could become successful enough for a media company to buy your blog. And just for fun, some speculation about Mark Zuckerberg’s post-IPO wardrobe.
