With summer in full swing, and the possibility of homeschool in the fall, trying to find ways to make money online can seem like a pipe dream.
But, it doesn’t have to be mama! Just think about it!
With some extra income you have online you can cover your kids dance classes, build up your savings, or as a way to eventually make it your full time income and quick your day job.
Mama, are you thinking about starting a blog, but just can’t do it because of the cost?
The other day on Instagram, a follower asked me how much does it cost to blog?
I thought that was an interesting question because it made it sound like this follower is feeling that blogging is expensive.
You started a blog!
Yay!
But, aside from choosing your blog niche, you need to solidify your brand with a free WordPress theme.
There are hundreds (probably thousands) of very beautiful, free WordPress themes available – and I’ve tried and used many of them over the years of having a mom blog!
With the uncertainties in the economy and so many businesses cutting back on affiliate commissions – like Amazon! – bloggers around the internet are scrambling to replace their once stable affiliate income sources.
I don’t want that for you, blogger!
There are still plenty of thriving businesses that have great – and high-paying – affiliate programs and there is no better time than now to capitalize on them.
More and more people are starting blogs and need YOUR help to steer these new mamas into creating an income-generating blog!
I know this kind of comes off as a weird question. I mean, why would you blog about something you know nothing about?
Isn’t the purpose of a blog to share your expertise and knowledge?
While that is one of many reasons to start a blog, it is certainly not a hard and fast rule when it comes to choosing your niche.
Are you ready to launch your blog, mama?
It may seem that having a site and a few articles is enough to get started in the blogging world but there are steps you should be taking before you even launch your blog.
You may be anxious to join this awesome community of mom bloggers but, trust me, the more effort you put into your blog before you launch, the more success you will see.
Social media.
For many bloggers, it’s a huge distraction.
But, for a select few, they’ve learned how to leverage social media for more traffic, income and subscribers.
This doesn’t mean you have to be on all the social media profiles, but it does mean you should pick a few platforms and work hard at marketing your brand and business so you can bring people to your landing page or blog post.
The one thing after starting a blog and writing blog posts is getting website traffic.
Where is the blog traffic?
Why are other blogs in your niche seemingly getting hoards and hoards of blog traffic and your amazing blog isn’t getting the same love?
The first year of Twins Mommy, I spent most of my time trying to grow my blog traffic.
I wanted more readers and more pageviews each month.
Mommy blogs.
I love them! This is one of the reasons why I started Twins Mommy.
I wanted to connect with other moms out there – especially ones with little ones and that worked from home.
Feeling like you don’t know where to start with making money with your blog?
There are so many ways to monetize your blog, but I know of a faster and much easier way to start making money online.
Want to know what it is?
It’s getting paid to blog!
