We Will Accomplish a Mini Goal This Week

May 20, 2009 By

GoalThis week, I will be a guest blogger on a big blog. I am telling you this not because I have a blog in mind, but because that’s my goal. I am going to find a big blog that will bring readers to my blog and I will guest post there this week.

I asked on twitter a little earlier this week how to get to post on a big blog, and I was blown away with the answer. Everyone told me that all I have to do is ask. Guest posting gives the blog owners a break and makes their lives easier. Plus it brings different kinds of traffic to their website and a fresh perspective!

So, I think I can do this. I’m a fairly proficient writer, and I can be witty at times. Who wouldn’t want me as a guest poster, right?

I need to do a few things to accomplish this goal:

  1. Decide on a Blog
  2. Come up with a Relevant Post for that Blog
  3. Email the blog’s owner and ask if they’d be interested in a guest post from me.
  4. Celebrate Accomplishing my awesome Goal.

I want you to do the same. Find a mini-goal for your blog, and make it happen this week.

Ready, Set, Go!

I’m Stuck and I Need Your Help!

May 19, 2009 By

elmer.Okay, so here’s the thing. I have my site all ready to go, I’m primed and ready to make money on my blog. I have readers, I have stats, I have loads of stories. Iknow what my blog is about…

But I’m stuck! I don’t know where to go from here, I don’t know what my next step would be?

  • Should I try to blog every single day?
  • Maybe try to find a big blog somewhere that might let me do a guest post?
  • Should I just keep learning more about my statistics?
  • Could I find some sort of affiliate program or ad program that might work for me?
  • Should I do a complete site redesign?

I’m asking you the readers to help me in the next step. What would you do if you were sitting on my blog?

How Can My Blog Make a Profit?

May 6, 2009 By
piggy-bank

piggy-bankI’ve been blogging for three years–and guess what:

My blog has never made a single penny.

That’s three years of me putting myself out there on the internet, writing all my personal stories and thoughts down, reformatting my blog for it to be super cute and up to date– all for no money.

This was okay with me for a while. In fact, I actually debunked the idea that my little personal blog needed to make money. I mean–it’s just me talking about the random stuff that happens in my every day life. Why would anyone want to read that?

Then I discovered something. There’s an entire network of mommy bloggers out there making money on their random mom stories every day!

Well, let’s just say that was my Oh Snap! moment.

For the next few weeks, I am going to attempt to take my tiny mommy blog and turn it into an actual profitable blog.

I challenge you to join me!

If you have a blog that you’ve been writing in for a while, but it’s just sitting there making no cash, then take this opportunity to learn with me and see if we can’t make these blogs turn a profit!

Who’s with me?
