Hi, I am a blogshop owner.

You wont generate much from blogshops, especially when you are competing with other blogshops.

I dont mean to be sexist but, why not try to sell clothes for males? Im sure that you can attract some of the guys in SG, cause I find that there is a lack of apparels towards them.

But my overall advice to you is that, if you are not serious in it, dont do it, its kinda wasting time to trying to be fanciful with blogshops.

.i just notice that if cannot search your blogshop on google site, it means very few traffic come in to your blogshop as people feel hard to find your shop..like that sure cannot make money...

Alot of SEO needs to be done for it to appear on search engines ....

Your products have to be attractive and popular..

I think 95% of the blogshops is selling clothes and contact lenses.

Err...I am a rather new blogshop owner. I think making money on blogshop is not really impossible. But the problem is that I browse a blogshop with some statistics b4. Most blogshop shoppers are very young, most still schooling. So how can we expect to earn a lot from them? Unless, you really targeting to put some $$ to advertise lor. But like that, you can't sell too cheap else can't cover the advertising fees.

Also, the problem is many adults like some of my frds dun trust or dun really bother to try buying goods online unless you can't get it outside or it is really cheap. You can take a look at my blogshop
http://www.fabulous-greeny.blogspot.com/

Coz' I think selling second hand or brand new items that I do not intend to keep is still ok. For me, I dun really earn but at least able to get back some $$ from impulse buying or some gifts I really dun use. It's kind of recycling also. A good livelhood. I sold really cheap and to my surprise got one buyer willing to extra $2 to 3 for my postage even though it is included. haha lol.

So, maybe you can start selling your unused goods like me e.g gifts or even second hand items but all must be in good condition la at a good price.

From there, you will naturally get exposure to what it is like and thus can decide if setting up blogshop is good for you. Hope that helps

Let me drop a goldmine for you guys. If you can't do SEO to get traffic for blogshop, use facebook advertising. Facebook clicks for singapore market is dirt cheap. You better enter it before the clicks gets inflated (like in the US).

It is disappointing, that up till now I have not seen any blogshop that promotes via facebook. The facebook platform can deliver more traffic than bing search engine.

Yes you can make big money. At the very beginning, it's quite depressing. This kind of blogshop thingy, you really need to spend a lot of time doing it, to keep the business ongoing. I'd suggest you to start selling some of your second hand items first to gain publicity from the people, then maybe you can start considering finding supplier to start your own blogshop. Just my 2 cents

You can try advertising at facebook and some sales community at livejournal. Pretty good.

Firstly, i suggest u to be indifferent in the sense that u dont use blogspot or wordpress. Set up your own domain and go find models to take photos for your clothes.

Of course, all these cost money. But well, if u want to earn more $$$ , you should. And find blogs to advertise for you. It is useful. Can find mine too !

I just started to open my blogshop recently. Now I'm working hard to get more traffic..

Open blogshop is quite tiring and I spent a lot of time on it...

Although it's hard, but i'm enjoying it...I'm starting to have some client base right now, so I believe, Work hard and you will see the result!!

Not really... You need to run them...
