Profitable Mommy Blogging

This week’s Buzz A Mom is Stephanie Elie. She is the owner of Bizzie Mommy. After reading her site, her humor made me laugh out loud, and I discovered her mutual love for green tea. (I wonder if she, too has her very own starbucks take home glass?)

Your blog is adorable! How important do you think the site layout is to a great blog?

• My background is in web design so site layout is extremely important to me. I often don’t read blogs that are too busy. I think it’s important to be able to see the main content of the blog when the page loads, often times the headers are so large you have to scroll down to read the great articles.

So many blogs do reviews and giveaways. Do you do them, and if so–how do you decide who to give products to for those?

• Originally I signed up for every review network and would giveaway anything that a representative would offer. I have now limited my reviews and giveaways to items I think are helpful for my demographic – busy working moms and mom entrepreneurs.

I, too, am obsessed with green tea, and my pink laptop! We’re twins! So, tell me more about your green tea habit. Do you drink it for health benefits or just because it’s wonderful?

• I love drinking green tea in the mornings or when I’m working late at night. It has a calming affect. I love the taste of it the health benefits is just a bonus.

So, you’re working your way to financial freedom? How long do you think that will take? Is that something all moms should strive for?

• My goal is to be financially free, how long that will take, I don’t have a clue. My immediate goal is to be out of the “workforce” by the end of the year so I can concentrate on all of my entrepreneurial ventures. I think it’s very important for woman to find ways to be financial free or at least have the ability to take care of themselves when it becomes necessary. A really enlightening book that changed my perspective on life is Rich Women by Kim Kiyosaki.

Wow, I learned so much! Thanks to Stephanie for letting me Buzz her this week!
