Blogging

Twins Mommy is over a year old! Wow! During the first year of my blog, I concentrated on two things:

OMG! Are you a new blogger interested in free beautiful stock photos?

When I first started Twins Mommy, I was on the search for feminine stock photos. I didn’t have the budget to pay for them, so I was looking for free stock images. But, a lot of them just didn’t fit my brand as a mom blogger.Continue reading →

Are you thinking about starting a blog?

If you’re on Pinterest you might have seen some pins about how great blogging is for mamas! From monetizing your blog to networking with other mamas to getting to know your audience, blogging is an amazing and creative outlet for moms.

Blog post ideas for any blog niche!

What are those things bloggers are using and how come it’s helping them grow their traffic? What’s the big hype about them?

This is how I thought about it too before I started using Tailwind. See, before Twins Mommy I started Elna Cain.

No big deal. My traffic slowly grew and in the two years of it being up, I had around 12k pageviews. But, when I started Twins Mommy, I wanted to try something completely different.Continue reading →
