\"Blogging\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Being a blogger is hard work. It\u2019s basic, but blogging requires skills too. A well-rounded blogger knows that skills in business, journalism, photography and some fashion sense will go far in this cut-throat industry. This 10-day course consists of the following topics:<\/p>\n

Journalism: This is the story of your life after all. Let\u2019s be real, you need to be able to write well and at least craft a story about your life so that people will be entertained and inspired by it. Developing a personality is crucial in becoming a blogger, but if that\u2019s difficult, you will learn to fake one. Aim for chirpy, optimistic personalities like Galadarling<\/a>\u00a0for best effect.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Public Relations & Media Law: Expect freebies. Those advertorials and sponsorships will come rolling in after you\u2019ve become an \u201cinfluencer\u201d and you\u2019ll need to be able to manage their requests. Plus, you\u2019ll need a crisis management plan. How can you \u2018reblog\u2019 content without being accused of plagiarism? Can you use photographs you got off Google? What\u2019s the best way to avoid a lawsuit? (Original Idea:\u00a0Your account might have gotten hacked.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Marketing\/Advertising: You\u2019re basically writing a long-form copy ad everytime you\u2019re writing a blog. You\u2019re marketing the beauty of being You. Not to mention all those advertorials you\u2019re going to have to write, some brands actually don\u2019t write those posts for you to copy and paste into your own blog.<\/p>\n

Business: Earn lots of money so that you can continue living the dream. You need to be self-sustainable too right? Those Louboutins don\u2019t come cheap.<\/p>\n

Acting\/Modeling\/Directing: Some days you feel like crap, and life becomes quite mundane. But it is your duty to make those days look glamorous, goddammit. Look into the distance, not at the camera.\u00a0Let\u2019s inject some blur into this shot so it looks a little more thoughtful and nostalgic, a little sentimentality.<\/p>\n

Photography: Of course, it\u2019s probably better if you have a best friend who you can count on to take these photos of your life for you since he\/she is always there just hanging around like a shadow. However, if you have none you can depend on, you can always hire one or learn to take your own shots using a tripod.<\/p>\n

Photo editing: Some people would say this is best done by a professional. I disagree. Who cares about whether that zit is smoothened out or not more than you? So learn some basic skills of concealment on Adobe. Bonus points if you learn to use some filters to add effects on your shots.<\/p>\n

On the last day, you will deepen your learning in specialised fields, according to your interests. You can pursue one of five specialisation options to become a: Food blogger, Fashion blogger, Beauty blogger, Travel blogger or Mummy blogger.<\/p>\n

Requirements: Overwhelming passion for blogging. You blog because it\u2019s your passion. Your life is your passion. You can\u2019t imagine a day where you can\u2019t get onto WordPress to talk about your life. Eh. Wait. Huh? Er..But\u00a0I\u2019m not going to lie..it\u2019s incredibly competitive. If you think you can\u2019t take the stress of a high powered career, you definitely should not take part in this workshop.<\/p>\n
