When I asked for help with how to make my blog more profitable on the Mom Masterminds forum earlier today the first thing asked of me was:
“Who’s your target audience?”
Uhhhh…
Well, it seems I’ve discovered my big problem. Turns out, I have no idea who my target audience is. But, that’s because I have an even bigger problem
I have no idea what my blog is about.

I’ve decided to dedicate Fridays to you guys by flipping this blog around!
I will scour the week’s comments to see who’s been working hard on the challenge, asking really great questions, or just said something that made me think. Then, I will share that fun stuff with everyone on Fridays and see if I can’t attempt to help the readers. If I can’t help the readers, well then I will of course turn it over to you so that we can get them the answers they’re searching for.
This should be a fun little experiment, and I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
