An interview with Laura Louise Cranston<\/a>, author of the fashion and beauty blog, Girl Talk with Laura<\/a>. In this interview, she spoke to us about keeping her blog personal and honest, a photo shoot with cosmetics brand Benefit and prepping her blog up for the Cosmopolitan Blog Awards next year. \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Why should people read your blog? What makes it different?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>My blog isn’t just focused on one area, it’s fashion and beauty and there isn’t one that I focus more on. It’s an honest blog which let’s you know how I really feel about products, if they’re not good then I let you know! It’s basically written like how I would talk to my girlfriends hence the name of the blog.<\/p>\n

\n
How do you measure the success of your website?\u00a0<\/strong>I don’t think you should measure your success. If you love writing and creating your blog it shouldn’t matter if it is successful or not. Although what does make me feel like I am helping people is through comments and when people can find products that benefit them through my blog.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What’s your favourite blog and why?\u00a0<\/strong>My all time favourite blog has to be Couture Girl by Kayleigh Johnson as her images are really good and her content is great.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start a blog?\u00a0<\/strong>If it is a subject you are passionate about then do it! There’s nothing to lose. Don’t do it if you aren’t going to put your whole into it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
How do you work with marketers and PRs?<\/strong>\u00a0I will be contacted through emails and to ask to work with a certain brand.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

What can marketers do better in working with you?\u00a0<\/strong>I love it when the email is personal to your blog. They need to have some knowledge on your blog and my favourite one has been when they have actually stated which post was their favourite.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What was your blogging highlight of 2013?<\/strong>\u00a0I have only been blogging for four months so I didn’t have any highlights in 2013 but the biggest highlight since I’ve been blogging has definitely been invited down to London to shoot with Benefit.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

What will be big in your blogosphere in the coming months?<\/strong>\u00a0I am going to do more fashion shooting as I’ve only just started doing this and my audience seem to like it so more of that! To get my blog to exactly how I want it for the next Cosmo blog awards as I didn’t make the short list for this years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
