Starting a Mom Blog: What’s the Motivation?
Blogging is a way to create a presence in cyberspace for a number of reasons. Mom’s blog for many reasons. In the age of product review perks from big companies, what is the motivation for mom bloggers?
It is true that your motivation will either spur you on to continue or lead you to quit in midstream. Determining your motivation before you begin a blog can keep you honest throughout your blogging experience.
1. Keep in touch with family and friends. Many of the mom blogs on the Internet won’t take off virally like the ones you read about. They are created as a way to share photos of the new baby and stories about his or her activities. For soldiers overseas and family members living miles apart, using webcams and blogs help them to stay connected with their family.
2. Sharing knowledge with other women is important. Moms crave interaction with other moms and women in general. There is no handbook for perfect child rearing so moms share what they have learned or situations they are in and need advice about on their blogs. If even one mom’s life is changed for the better then it was well worth the effort.
3. Sharing stories about kids. When you upload photos into cyberspace, remember that these photos could end up anywhere else on the Internet. Avoid posting embarrassing pictures of your children or anything that you wouldn’t want shown anywhere else.
4. Take the good with the bad. As a blogger, you are going to get feedback. Everyone won’t be complementary with their opinions of your views on life and the world. Be prepared for negative feedback and crazy people. It can be disconcerting the first time but you’ll develop a thick skin as you strive to make a difference.
5. Make a few bucks online. There are many ways to monetize a blog. Joining affiliate programs can bring you money as you blog away about your favorite topic – your family. There is nothing wrong with making money while you blog. The problem is coming in when moms make money with their blog posts, specifically product reviews that are a result of company freebies and monetary compensation. This isn’t to say product reviews shouldn’t be done and free products shouldn’t be accepted, but be honest about what you review. If you didn’t like something about a product, say so. Remember, you have readers who are counting on you to be honest with them…don’t sell them out just to make a few dollars.
6. Being true to yourself. At the end of each day, you will have to look at yourself in the mirror. Will you like what you see? Some believe that mom bloggers are selling out to the corporations. If you are not, maintain your integrity even in the event of company courting. It is not a crime to take free merchandise. Make sure that you inform your readers about the free items and give your honest opinion in the review, good or bad.

Mom Quit Running Yourself Ragged...
As women and mothers, we play many different roles and most of us don't take the time off that we deserve. Everyone deserves some quiet time away from the family and our everyday responsibilities. Isn't it time that you invest in yourself? Do you know that you are worth it, right?
Just think about the course of your day: you play doctor, cook, chauffeur, teacher, lawyer, and the occasional referee as well.
Why is it you can remember the last time you did a load of laundry, the last time your children fought, and the last time your little ones did some artwork on the wall (smile) but you CAN’T remember the last time you took time out for yourself to concentrate on adding more joy into your life?

Three Tips to Help Build Your Mailing List
Three Tips to Help Build Your Mailing List
If you've been around the internet marketing world for any amount of time chances are you've heard those questions on more than once occasion. So many people focus on getting to the top of search engines when they could be spending that time working on building their list which is actually more beneficial than being at the top of the search engines! Google can drop you faster than a blink of the eye but a list can “Google proof” your income.
Building a list can be challenging but with these three tips you will be on your way to building an incredible list.
1. Build a relationship first. Your main objective should not be money but building a relationship with your list. Don’t send email after email that just offers your product or service. Yes putting your product and services in front of your subscribers eyes is key to making money. However, they more than likely signed up for your list expecting to get something out of it not just sales pitch after sales pitch. And you will find if you do that you’ll have unsubscriber after unsubscriber. So focus on relationship building first and the monetary aspect later.
2. Be consistent. Consistency is key! Have you ever signed up for a list only to end up forgetting you even signed up for it because the emails were so far and few in between? Not only does it cause list subscribers to forget they signed up but it causes the potential for loss of income and then if you decide to start the list back up later it’s going to be tougher to get those subscribers to open those emails! So when you start that list make sure you are consistent!
3. Use a good autoresponder company. Each company will have different pros and cons you’ll need to evaluate and decide what will be the best for you and your needs. An autoresponder is where you’ll keep your emails, find your opt-in code, keep an eye on tracking – how many subscribers are actually opening your emails, etc. So it’s imperative that you have a reliable autoresponder company!
Those are just three tips of 101 that you will find in the 101 Smart and Easy Mailing List Strategies guide. If you want to start a mailing list or already have a mailing list pick up your copy of
101 Smart and Easy Mailing List Strategies for easy to follow tips that will help you build a strong business foundation – your list!

New/Expecting Moms Message
Many pregnant women and new moms come face to face with the question of whether or not they should return to work after having a baby. For some, the decision is easy. For others, it can be very difficult. Your dilemma may be based on personal issues (you enjoy your career and don't want to give it up) or financial issues (you can't afford to stay at home). Whatever your situation, hopefully we can help.
The most important question you should be asking yourself is, "What is best for my baby?" If you feel that your child will benefit more with you at home, stay home.

You may be able to work part-time, allowing you to work and have a little more time to spend with your new baby compared to working full-time.
Money is usually one of the main factors in determining if you should stay at home or not. I say that if you feel it is best for you and your family for you to stay at home, do so. You may be thinking that it is easier said than done with overwhelming financial obligations however there are ways that mothers (and fathers too) can stay at home with their children and earn an income. One option would be for you to work from home. It is possible to work from home.
