48 Days To A Better Blog: Blog Education

March 9, 2009 by Alaina Frederick

This past weekend were days four and five of my 48 day journey. How did I spend them? Not behind the computer screen that’s for sure! It was a beautiful weekend in Southwestern PA and I had 3 little boys that were in much need of fresh air and sunshine.

Those two days were by far not wasted ones on my journey! Thankfully I have an MP3 player and before we even left for our very long days of public park hopping I downloaded a number of podcasts. I grabbed the latest installments of Profitable Mommy Blogging, WAHM Talk Radio, Adsense System Podcast, and The WordPress Community. I figured, “Hey I need to be educated if I’m going to do this right!”

Of course, we all know and love Profitable Mommy Blogging and WAHM Talk Radio – these are vital resources for any mom that is in or thinking about joining the work at home community. I found Adsense System Podcast and The Wordpress Community by doing a search on iTunes for “wordpress“, “adsense on blogs“, “blogging for profit“. While they had some information that was useful, both podcasts were not what I was expecting or hoping for. I much prefer the down-to-earth and mom-focused style of Profitable Mommy Blogging and WAHM Talk Radio.

So what did I learn? I need fresh and frequent content, which I already knew of this simple but oh-so-important fact. Today my goal is to explore the information over at Blog Energizer. I’ve heard about this site a while back when it was first launching, but I never took the time to really dive in and see how I could energize and get that content flowing like I needed.

What are some tools you are using to educate yourself on blogging and the world that surrounds it? Are you keeping up with fresh and frequent content on your site- are there some tips or software you use to help yourself keep at it?

Spending the day in the warm sunshine with your kids was the bet possible choice! It was lovely here too in Tennessee! Keep up your awesome work!

I love listening to mp3s to Alaina! I think it is the best way to use your downtime ... might as well learn while you are cooking, doing laundry, driving or whatever! I heart WAHM Talk Radio and Profitable Mommy Blogging too. I also like Internet Marketing This Week (which has awesome WAHM Lynn Terry on it). Keep up the great work and can't wait to read more of your journey! :)

I walk around with the iPod going when I'm cleaning. I do like the Moms Talk Network podcasts the best. I signed up for a few affiliate programs that have great learning resources.
