Profitable Mommy Blogging

It’s time to Buzz a Mom!  This week we are talking to Dr. Daisy Sutherland, aka Dr. Mommy.

My name is Dr. Daisy Sutherland, aka Dr. Mommy, and I am a Doctor of Chiropractic by profession, a mom to 5 beautiful children which I home school, and married to my soul mate…Health/Wellness and Nutrition have always been a big part of my life and sharing my knowledge with the public is very important to me.

I am a Parenting Coach and my mission is to help parents teach their families to lead happier and healthier lives.   My ultimate goal is to help individuals take control of their bodies and health and make informed decisions regarding their health.

I was flat out amazed at how many sites she runs!  She has tips to stay healthy, helping you help your family, a content writing and managing site, a Reserved Only course teaching respect, responsibility, and renewal, an estore, and she stays active on Twitter.

So I had to ask her, “Do you have a VA?”
I do and couldn’t imagine not having one.

Which of your sites is your favorite?
I love all my sites, but if I had to pick just one, I would have to say Dr. Mommy Chronicles.

Do you have set times for working and set times for being a mommy?  How do you divide your day between computer and kids?
I do have set times…Since I manage our Chiropractic office, I have access to a computer during those work hours and being a multi-tasker…I can answer phones, chat with patients, give advice and work online all at once

I also have specific times to work on my sites and mommy time. My weekends are solely devoted to my family and personal projects. My children will always come first, and unless I am on a call with a client, I will drop all to care for them.

I tend to stay up late to work on my projects online, when the children are asleep as well.

I can see how your interest in wellness and nutrition evolved into your sites, but how did you get into content writing and managing?
I have always loved to write and it wasn’t until I transferred that love of writing into my sites that I was able to help others with their blogs. I am very neurotic (yes, self-professed) about organization. Because of this I have been able to juggle my sites and those of my clients without an issue.

Do you have a tip for Moms that want to make their blog profitable?
One tip, that I can give all Moms is to be patient. Yes, that is easier said than done, but in order to be profitable you have to understand that it is not going to happen over-night. Another great tip that has helped me in my business is to learn from those who are successful. There are many successful Moms online today and they are open and willing to share ideas with you. Finding mentors online is very helpful and will save you a lot of time and money. You can learn from their mistakes without making them yourself.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions!
