Mom Blogger Pro (Formerly Profitable Mommy Blogging)
How to blog from professional mom bloggers who share their experiences and tactics for earning from their blogs.
Quick! Not counting a computer, name one piece of hardware that a blogger must own to make her blog a success.
Did you say digital camera? Great, so did I!
Why do I think a digital camera is essential blogger equipment? Because a picture is worth a thousand words and nowhere is that truer than on a blog!
Today I am wrapping up my cross blog conversation defining “Mommy Blogger” with LaTara Ham-Ying from Mom Unplugged. You can read the beginning of the conversation here.
LaTara, once again you have given amazing answers to my questions! I’m not surprised that you enjoy writing a “deep” thinking blog because you give incredibly thought-filled responses.
This week I had the opportunity to interview Crissy Herron for our Buzz a Mom feature.
Crissy is the founder and owner of IndieBizChick.com where she provides information and support to women that will help them start and grow their own businesses.
Here is our interview:
Crissy, please share how and when you realized your passion is helping women with DIY internet businesses? Was there one key aha! moment or were there a lot of little things?
I think that it was something that was always inside of me. I was born and raised in Flint, Michigan. (I did live in Alaska for about 7 years, but am now back in Michigan). Michigan as a whole has seen some very hard economic times, but I do think that Flint has been one of the hardest hit areas. We’ve had the highest unemployment rate in the nation for a very, very long time.
twitClicks.com is a really fun and useful new Twitter tool designed to track the shortened urls you create through twitClicks.com and share on Twitter.
twitClicks tells you how many clicks each url received, where the person was and the follower most likely to have done the clicking. I especially appreciate the blog explaining how to use all the data you receive to better market your blog.
Watch the video explanation and then come back and tell me what you think about twitClicks.com. Is it cool? Will you use it?
LaTara Ham-Ying from Mom Unplugged and I are continuing our cross blog conversation today. We have been defining “Mommy Blogger” through a series of posts here and at Mom Unplugged. If you missed the beginning of the conversation you can catch up here.
LaTara, I’ve been thinking about your definition of “Mommy Blogger” as being “a woman who writes passionately about her life and life as she sees it, sharing some good ideas, products, and more along the way.” I believe you have succinctly captured the essence of mommy bloggers – passion.

Want to learn how to be a Profitable Mommy Blogger?
Our Mom’s Talk Network Blogging Internship will be opening up a new ten week training session starting Monday, May 4th. If you are interested in learning more about it, please visit this page.
I’m continuing a cross blog conversation with LaTara Ham-Ying from Mom Unplugged today. Our topic is “Defining Mommy Blogger in Today’s Blogosphere.”
LaTara, I laughed when I read your initial stereotypical definition of a Mommy Blogger as being someone who gushes about her children!
I confess, I’m probably one of those bloggers who gushes about her kids. Though they aren’t my “reason for living,” taking care of them is what I do all day so it naturally carries over into my writing.
Having said that, let me say, I love your answer and I LOVE your second definition of a Mommy Blogger! Writing about our life’s passions really is what sets Mommy Bloggers apart from the rest of the Blogosphere. [Read more...]

If you’ve been wanting to get going with an environmental blog and would like the chance to work with someone with extensive internet marketing experience, this would be a great project for you.
Unlike most internships, this one ends with you owning the project!
Today I’m beginning a cross blog conversation with LaTara Ham-Ying (@latarahamying) of Mom Unplugged. Our focus for this conversation is Defining “Mommy Blogger” in Today’s Blogosphere.
LaTara, this topic has been on my mind since reading your post, “HELP! I Want to Be a Mommy Blogger.” You have me wondering how many other bloggers aren’t sure if they are “real” mommy bloggers.
I, for one, embrace the label “Mommy Blogger,” which is good thing since I’m an intern for a blog titled “Profitable Mommy Blogging”!

The blogger in you is continuously evolving while you write, connect and engage with your audience. It’s a learning curve that refines your skills, your persona and your approach towards dealing with things that you do in daily life. We learn from peers, from our readers and from the people around us.
Recently, I watched a stage play and found some interesting comparisons between stage actors and bloggers. If we closely observe the professional life of stage actors, we can pick lots of positive things that can help us in improving our blogging skills. Their approach, their team work and their way of dealing with public reaction can give you countless tips on dealing with such situations. Let’s see what we can learn from their daily routine and how we can avoid certain mistakes that may affect our productivity. [Read more...]
