As a style blogger myself I’ll tell you that the reason I blog is first for the fun of it. To show myself and then others how to be fashionable on a budget. How to wear one clothing item multiple ways. In doing so, I use my blog as a creative outlet to express my thoughts. It’s not a case of misplaced priority if I’m not sacrificing basic necessities in order to dress up. And yes, lots of bloggers outside Nigeria are able to make some money from the clothes they wear by earning commission from getting a customer to buy their clothes from an online store. And from banner advertising. You’ll notice that it’s the same way on Instagram. It’s like being a sales girl and adding some money on your oga-priced goods so that you pocket the extra on top. Unfortunately, a lot of Nigerian businesses are not online for us to make such sales commissions as Nigerian-based bloggers.
