    Hey guys,

    I am starting a streetwear blog and I know some blogs in the same niche But I don't know how they get the information they do like what new shoes are out (it a little harder then Tech stuff cause that you can just watch on the news and get)

    and I don't want to copy them so how can I get the same info they are getting and how are they getting it?..

    Here is some of the blogs

    http://www.freshnessmag.com/
    http://www.freshngood.com/
    http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/

    Thanks

    One suggestion I can give you is that you offer some of the authors an article exchange, in which they'd write an up-to-date article and place links back to their site. It might not exactly be your thing, but it can work if you need content (and you can specify that they write original material). Just an idea.

    Have you considered hiring people to write for you who know about the industry?

    You should connect to young designers, who are now often oriented on creating the streetwear, not just the famous brands. Contact the editors of fashion magazines, perhaps, you would find the ways to cooperate within some of their ad campaigns (don't dream of being paid much, though you'll definitely a good source of content).

    As for 3 sites, you're talking about, I guess Freshngood.com is seemingly the most creative, from my point of view, whereas Freshnessmag is a bit too dark in the design colorscheme

    I would recommend hiring some writers to come up with fresh, consistent content. You can find cheap writing at sites like fiverr (Dot) com

    I agree. You can also look at magazines that feature streetwear or are streetwear magazines and get information from there that you can write about.

    Hope that helps. Have a good day!

    It's also beneficial to use a couple of popular keywords with low competition level. I wouldn't stop on 1 or 2, but would rather suggest using ech keyword for 3-4 times.
