Building a relationships with your niche is one of the most important steps of a bloggers career. Two media/reporters that cover my brand topic would be Fashionista.com and Dress For Success's Twitter account.
With Fashionista.com, I have been actively posting my feedback on their posts on their blog. I have not received word from them yet but am hoping that one of the writers will respond at one point.
I also sent Fashionista Facebook page an email with a suggestion for a new post: up and coming beauty and fashion bloggers, which I'm hoping, will include mysefl. No response yet, but lets keep our fingers crossed!
When it comes to Dress for Success, this is an organization that I really look up to. On Twitter, I have followed, retweeted and commented them. I am hoping that they will hear/see me reaching out to them and then eventually we can build a relationship and work together.
For example, Dress for Success just had an event in NYC and was trying to sell tickets. Unfortuantely, I could not attend but I made sure to retweet them to get some other followers and help them out.
With these steps, I am hoping to build lasting relationships with people who are in my field of work and who have already established a strong following. My hope would be to one day work with either of these companies and do a sort of guest appearance with Fashionista.com
I hope you're all following me on Twitter @ stefyyleon

How Do You Attract Bees to Your Blog?
Answer: with honey
However, in my case, honey might not work as well on my fashionista ladies. Attracting your target market might be as easy as honey and bees and other times it takes a little bit more effort.
Thankfully, I have discovered a couple of ways to attract my target market of young, fashion-oriented, ambitious young women, to my blog.
For starters, I will be using Twitter as my #1 sidekick to engage my target market. After every fashion or beauty related post, I have desginated #ambitiousfashionista as a hash tag that I can use. Twitter is a great way to find new followers who share the same interests as you and even separate them by location.
Microblogs are also a huge way to find a new following of like-minded individuals. Pages such as Fashionsta.com and Dressforsuccess.org are great ways to hang out with my target market. These blogs have message boards and other forums where relationships can be established and links can be made back to my blog.
Other traditional sites such as Facebook and Pinterest will also be useful tools for my blog as thousands of friends will be able to find links back to posts on my blog. Once a friend has liked one of my links, the posts appear on their page and thereby visible to all of their friends. It's a wondeful domino effect.
Dont forget to follow me @stefyyleon and tell your friends!

The Ambitious Fashionista takes Off!
This week I decided to finally launch my blog! For all of my wonderful classmates that would like to read click here. I am extremely excited to start on this journey and begin putting my ideas, tips and advice down.
As many of you can tell, I used my brand statement that I submitted on this blog as my personal statement and first post on my new blog (thanks for the idea Perri!) with a few minor changes. I also started promoting on my personal Facebook and Twitter to drive visitors to my page!
I hope you all follow my blog or have somone you think would benefit from it take a look.
