Lifestyle blogs!
You see them on Pinterest everywhere and read them all the time.
You are ready to start a blog, and you can’t wait.
I want you to know that I’m here for you! I will hold your hand through the entire life blog process from start to success!
But, before you consider blogging, you might be wondering about a niche blog, or a lifestyle blog, and figuring out what to blog about.
You have about a million blog topic ideas floating around in your head and don’t know what to blog about or what topics to write about.
Should you blog about everything and anything or one thing?
Does a blog niche topic really matter when you have a brand new blog?
Did you know that there are some simple, yet effective ways to increase your website traffic?
I know –
For a new blogger, this seems like a huge mountain to climb. But, it doesn’t have to be.
When I first started blogging, I had no idea if I would make money blogging or if I would stick with it!
But, I did!
I replaced my full-time income only blogging part-time – and with twin toddlers to boot!
Learning how to start a blog was one of the best decisions I made for my family.
Now both my husband and I stay home, hustle together and create the life we want for our twins.
My twins are eight years old now, and I’m doing this full-time!
When I first decided to stay home with my twins, I looked online to find out what I can do to make money at home.
My husband has always worked at home and he suggested to read blogs and learn what is a blog.
I wasn’t too familiar with blogging, but I soon learned how a blog can help you make money and stay home for good.
If you are new and wondering what is a blog, I thought this post might help break this down and make it easier to understand!
You might hear blog or website thrown around. Maybe even self-hosted blog or WordPress blog. What is what and is there a right way to blogging?
Excited because you wrote your first blog post?
It’s thrilling isn’t it!
But, sometimes the thrill is short lived because your new content didn’t attract many readers!

When I first started Twins Mommy, I launched my blog with only 1 blog post! I was excited and I was sure I was going to get readers. I even emailed my freelance writing list of thousands about this new blog and blog post.
Want to know what happened? I barely got 5 visitors!
I was missing something!
It was a plan for my blog. I needed a calendar of what I was going to publish, instead of relying on one blog post to attract readers.
And, one of the hardest things new bloggers face is planning that editorial calendar for the month or the quarter.
I have several blogs and every day I have to come up with blog topics in different niches. But how can you organize your blog post ideas as well as each blog post to ensure you are growing your blog each day?
You want to monetize a blog for 2024!
Yay!
When I started a mom blog my twins were still babies. I’m so glad I started even though I felt I had no time as a new mom. Finding the time to blog meant that I had to work when everyone was sleeping.
New to blogging?
If you recently started a blog, there are a whole bunch of free tools and services you can use to start blogging quickly.
One service that everyone has access to is Google.
Google has grown to more than a search engine to plug in your query and get an answer to your question.
There are free Google tools you can use as a new blogger to grow your blog traffic.
You hear so many bloggers telling you that Pinterest is how they exploded their blog. Or, it’s Facebook or Instagram that grew their blog traffic.
As a new blogger, this seems like a huge new feat to master. Maybe you’ve never used Pinterest to market your blog or you have no idea how to use Instagram for your business.
Are you thinking about starting a blog?
I’m sure the decision isn’t a fast one, right?
How do you definitively know you can make money with your blog? You spent – or will spend – probably a couple of hundred of dollars on starting a blog hoping to one day make money with it.
