There’s no doubt that living the fashion blogger lifestyle is definitely an intriguing idea—who wouldn’t want to be in beautiful photos, get gifted with amazing designer swag, and go on luxurious vacations? But just because the highlight reel looks great, doesn’t mean being a successful blogger is a cake walk.

Sounds daunting, but to some, that's the dream, and if you align with the kind-of-silly, kind-of-serious unofficial criteria below, you might want to consider turning that hobby of yours into a full-time thing.
