7 Hair Blog Success Stories [2023]
Are you a professional model or a beauty expert looking for a potential business idea? Starting a hair blog can be a great business opportunity for hair and beauty experts.
Through a hair blog, you teach your audience best practices for keeping their hair tidy and in perfect shape throughout. You can cover the best hair care tips and discuss different hair extensions available to them.
A majority of hair blogs make money through affiliate marketing campaigns. Cover fascinating topics and share the posts on social media to get traffic to your hair blog.
Here are some real life success stories of starting a hair blog:
1. Katie Goes Platinum ($72K/year)
Katie Emery (from Los Angeles, CA) started Katie Goes Platinum almost 5 years ago.
My name’s Katie Emery and I’m the founder of KatieGoesPlatinum.com, a website that advises women on how to joyfully transition from dyed hair to their natural gray hair.
But, two years later, my site consistently averages $6,000 per month in revenue (sometimes reaching as high as $10,000/month). It has grown much more than I ever anticipated!
2. The Holistic Enchilada ($96K/year)
Delilah Orpi (from Winter Springs) started The Holistic Enchilada almost 6 years ago.
My name is Delilah Orpi and I blog about curly hair and clean beauty at The Holistic Enchilada. I help people with naturally curly and wavy hair transition to wearing their natural texture.
My website currently averages $7,000 a month in revenue, though some months can be a lot higher or lower.
