I know personally, my sidebar needs to be cleaned up. I also agree about not valuing our time enough. I also think as moms (and women) we apologize way too much or feel guilty about earning something we DESERVE! I was so glad to have met you.

Why do so many women lose confidence in themselves when they become Mommies? Sad. Thanks for point this out. :-) I think you’re right on target with this.

Isn't it interesting the recurring them of how women continually under value themselves, whether it be blogging, their job, their value as a wife and mother... the list goes on.

I'm always taken aback by how naturally beautiful you are. Now that we got that out of the way I have to say I agree. What I'd like to see more of is Mommy Bloggers using affiliate links to promote things. I often see Mommy Bloggers linking to sites that offer affiliate programs and yet they are just linking to the homepage and not using an aff link. There are many HUGE Mommy Bloggers that have LOADS of traffic and commenters and loyal readers that could be making a lot more money than they are. Maybe they don't want to but if you're going to mention a product anyway why not use an affiliate link?

The parts that hit me was the sidebar and the expertise. I use to put a blogroll on my sidebar, but now that I have a new layout I am definitely going to change it so it can be on it's own page. As far as being an expert and having products. I am definitely going to push myself. I am currently working on a e-book/book haven't decided as yet and I would like to produce some other products that I have done for myself that I really don't see on the market.

I just hope I am able to follow through not let anything get in my way. But I have to tell you, a few times while writing this E-book, I just wanted to scrap everything because I didn't believe in myself. Fortunately, I have gotten a lot of moral support from fellow WAHMs and other Internet marketers... and I will get this E-book done and out in the market - that's a promise! <abbr><em>Lexi´s last blog post..<a href="http://mylifeshift.org/the-unlimited-freelancer-a-review/">The Unlimited Freelancer: A Review</a></abbr></em> Terrific article, Carrie!
