Blogging

Have you been hearing a lot of talk about Tailwind lately?

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.

I didn’t invest in any social media scheduling tools; just pinned when I wanted, tweeted here and there and posted on Facebook when I had time.

Don’t be wrong, I’ve been trying to grow my traffic and used other things like this and this, but for a while my traffic has been slow and steady. Which is great! Every day I get more traffic, but it’s not that much.

So, the more and more tips I use totally helps me bump my traffic up each month. And this little trick  – I started just in the new year – and I can already tell it’s working.Continue reading →

How’d you do this year mamas? I’m excited by all that’s happened to me and to Twins Mommy!

I started Twins Mommy in April this year  and it was a hot mess (behind the scenes of course). I started Twins Mommy as a hobby and passion project.

While it still is a passion project, I decided I wanted to do something more with this blog. I’ve only had this blog 8 months or so and a lot went down.Continue reading →

Hi there mamas!

I thought I’d do something fun and free for ya! When you have a new blog sometimes it’s hard to get some engagement and shares on your blog eh?

I should know. I have another blog and it took me a year or more to really generate any comments and shares.

It wasn’t until this year that I finally figured how to get traffic, shares and comments on my blog posts!Continue reading →

SEO.

It’s on every mom blogger’s mind lately. Here’s the thing:

You’ve been blogging for a few months now and by this time, you should see some progress with your posts ranking on Google. I heard somewhere to give your blog at least six months (sometimes sooner) to start seeing your posts in Google (like within the first or second page).Continue reading →

Ouch!

Writing and reading that headline hurts, doesn’t it?

You’re scared you might be making these mistakes with your amateur blog, and you’re wondering why are they so terrible?

If you’re an amateur mom blogger and post after post you have no comments or shares and you know your posts rock, you might be making some terrible blogging mistakes.

When I first started as a amateur blogger over two years ago, I had no idea about WordPress or images or anything about blogging.

In fact, I really didn’t visit blogs when I first started out. But, I did soon after.Continue reading →

Not a big audience.

Too new.

Well, what if I told you, it’s possible to make money from blogging without traffic or having a big audience? Yeah, I know. It sounds a bit ludicrous.Continue reading →
