As fans of men's style, many of you will appreciate how strong men's clothing e-commerce retailer MR PORTER is in terms of branding, presentation, and customer service. Since 2011, MR PORTER has served countless Ape to Gentleman readers with some of the best designer brands on the planet, and 2017 may have seen its biggest step yet: the launch of its own brand, Mr. P. , with the motto “Easy pieces. Smart details. Durable style. Translated: wearable, simple and elegant clothing (and now shoes) designed for everyday wear.  healthnutritionhints

I have bought the range since its launch, both from an Ape editorial point of view and for my personal wardrobe. Mr P. represents excellent value for money, thanks to its emphasis on classic style and high-quality materials, but the pieces are also extremely versatile - I can use them every day for a variety of situations, whether on the desk. from my desk, for a meeting or a party.

Monsieur P. My way

MR PORTER currently has an ongoing series called "Mr P. My Way" where the brand partners with a wide variety of creatives who share a glimpse into their personal lives and styles. Ape was recently invited to participate, and what better way to get our message across than by explaining what Ape is and our philosophy. Think of it as a guide for those of you who are considering starting your own fashion blog. “Our Way”, so to speak, and of course, wearing Mr P. exclusively for that smart, comfortable and confident casual look.

The technology

The basis of any good blog or online magazine. Get your house in order before doing anything else. Make sure your website design not only looks good, but also provides a good user experience (aka 'UX'); This includes everything from making sure your website is usable on all devices (responsive design), fast to load (no one waits more than 2 seconds for a web page these days), safe and secure (your readers should trust you) and has a logical navigation structure (facilitates the consumption of information by your readers).

Public

With the wide range of topics already covered in depth on the internet, it is important to find your niche. Being an expert in all trades and a master of nothing is often the case.

Before you even consider starting a blog, you need to consider your strengths and where your passion lies - you need to write about what you love or what you are an expert in (this will show up to the reader) and decide whether you are doing it as a hobby or with the hope of making money from it. In the latter case, you need to look at your niche from a business perspective - is there a thirsty audience for your work, and how do you plan to grow your audience and monetize your content?

Consistency

Frequency and consistency are critical. Not just in terms of publishing daily content, but also branding, value, authenticity, and transparency. Readers should know what your post represents ...

Expectations

Set goals and hold yourself accountable. Good intentions are one thing, but creating a real business plan and strategy that spells out exactly how you are going to achieve your goals is vital to your growth and motivation. These will change over time (you can even rotate completely), and that's fine, but you need some goals and objectives to achieve.

Content

The most important aspect of any website: generating great content. This means a truly useful and informative editorial that will enrich the lives of your readers. Not only will this help you develop a loyal following of returning fans, but Google's promise is to reward the best content with better search rankings.
