OIO Publisher Review

oiopublisher

This is a guest post from Courtney Chowning of Mom Giveaways :)

The main source of income on my blog, Mom Giveaways, is selling advertising spaces directly. At first it was a very time consuming and tedious task by having to keep track of whose ad goes where and when the ad should go up or come down. I wanted to automate the process so that I could have more time working on other aspects of the site. One of the best decisions I ever made was purchasing OIO Publisher to handle my advertising.

Profitable Mommy Blogging #9

mbcbanner1008

mbcbanner1008This week I have a special guest, Jennifer James from Mom Bloggers Club.  I originally invited Jennifer to join me to share tips from her article ‘How to Become an A-List Mom Blogger‘ – but to be  honest, I got a little distracted ;)

Talking with Jennifer was a little like having coffee with a friend from the office.  I’m really pleased to have had the opportunity to get to know her and look forward to having her back on the show in the future.

We talked about mom review blogs, sponsorship, events and more.  Listen in and share your opinions here on the blog!

De-clutter Your Blog

Have you ever visited a blog and been overwhelmed with buttons and badges and links? Or (here’s a huge pet peeve for a lot of people) scrambled quickly for the little X in the corner because you couldn’t figure out how to turn the music off?

Its tempting when you first start blogging to add all of those pretty buttons and audio players but it can quickly turn into clutter. Once you end up with too much stuff on your blog, not only does it detract from your blog’s content section, it also takes up valuable real estate on your blog that you could be using to sell as advertising space or promoting products as an affiliate.

What is a Blog Internship?

One of the wishes I received during the Work at Home Moms Talk Radio Business Christmas Wish 2008 was from a mom who wished for blog mentoring.

This mom wanted to learn the ropes of blogging. Working with WordPress, developing a good blogging plan, promoting through social networks, etc.

At first I thought the wish was ‘too big‘ to be granted. Then it occurred to me that she would be a perfect candidate for a blogging internship. [Read more...]

Glossary: Copywriting

The main purpose of copywriting is to persuade the reader to act somehow, whether that is buying a product, signing up for an e-course or clicking on a link. It is the process of writing words to promote a business, person, opinion or idea. Copywriting can include plain text messages and a variety of other online media.

Copywriting for website placement involves the strategic repetition of keywords phrases within articles and refer to the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) methods that are used to achieve higher rankings in search engines. This type of copywriting is often referred to as content writing.
