An interview with Sarah Boast<\/a>, author of the lifestyle and beauty blog, Boast It<\/a>. Sarah spoke to us about being a journalism student and using her writing as a catalyst for change, working with PRs and brands as well as addressing real issues through her blog this year. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why should people read your blog?<\/strong> What makes it different?<\/strong>\u00a0My blog is not your generic beauty or fashion blog. It covers all areas of lifestyle – taking real news events and discussing them in detail. It’s different as I’m a journalism student who wants to hold power to account and see changes occur.<\/p>\n

How do you measure the success of your website?<\/strong>\u00a0I measure the success of my website by the views it gets and the feedback I receive whether this be a retweet on twitter or a Facebook comment.<\/p>\n

What’s your favourite blog and why?<\/strong>\u00a0I am a big fan of Zoella<\/a> as her blog is inspirational and stands out from normality.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give to someone who wants to start a blog?<\/strong>\u00a0I would tell them to stick at it and persevere. If, like me, you enjoy writing then this won’t be difficult and your blog will soon thrive.<\/p>\n

How do you work with marketers and PRs?<\/strong>\u00a0I work alongside PRs in order to be sent samples to review or events to attend. I love hearing about the latest beauty, hair or fashion trends and trialling them on behalf of companies before sharing the best with my readers.<\/p>\n

Who do you work with in brand marketing? PRs? SEOs?<\/strong> Anyone else?\u00a0I work with various people who are PR representatives for individual companies. I used to work in PR myself so have quite a good relationship with various people.<\/p>\n

What can marketers do better in working with you?<\/strong>\u00a0I suppose the only thing that could be improved is the number of emails I receive regarding marketing. As I said I love to hear about the latest products so please, get in touch!<\/p>\n

What will be big in your blogosphere in 2014?<\/strong>\u00a0As a journalism student I am hoping to move more into news-related articles and interviews. I want to step away from that generic lifestyle blogger into more or a unique website that represents young people and the issues we face.<\/p>\n
