Why Pick on Mummy writers in general?
You are bogged down with household duties and have no time to go out other than for the odd coffee. Lots of thoughts are racing through your brain with nowhere to go.
Level of conversation at about a 3-year-old vocabulary and you are ready to scream at the rafters.
You want to break free but it is still a few years away before you can let the reins go.
Why not consider venting your frustrations in writing as a release and creating real benefits for other people?
Forums don't quite cut it and mothers' clubs are all about other people's problems and you have your own to contend with.
What does a blog really do?
The purpose of a blog is to answer a question or solve a problem that others may encounter.
It is a simple formula.
- Pick a niche that really grabs your interest.
- Register a brand name or marketing tag like Mummy.com
- Find some keywords that will attract interested readers
- Write about a thousand words that explain and solve a problem
- publish your post.
Every day you are involved in hundreds of different tasks. Some you will find a nice way around so you can share your newfound knowledge with others and importantly get feedback.
Keywords are simply what people will use to search for answers to a problem. The best nappy rash solution, or a great way to not watch midday movies. Maybe childcare needs more government action or even supporting a partner during bad days.
Your unique registered name (URL) is your tag for evermore. Bought for about $10 a year it builds a brand and following as the amount of posts increases.
You can write as many words as you want from about 300 to 3000 depending on what you have to say.
Publish the posts and build a following.
Do you make any money out of blogging?
The answer is a definite yes once you get the framework in place. The biggest earner is what is called affiliate income where you suggest products readers may wish to buy. When they buy you get a slice of the action. It could be nappy rash cream or a new stroller and anywhere in between.
In fact, you can recommend more than one product at a time and double up on your income.
Once you get some regular traffic going, companies will want to run advertising on your site and they will pay you for the privilege. So you get affiliate income and advertising income on the same page.
However, think about establishing yourself as a writer before you go on the money trail. That way you build a brand and then monetize it.
Why mummy bloggers can really write and how do they start
When you don't know where to start as a blogger
When you are unsure what to do the answer is to take a short course on the rules and structures to start your journey on the right footing.
Doing this may turn you right into blogging but it may also turn the lights on and lead to a lifetime of enjoyment and fulfillment.
First of all, I am not chasing your money. The basic course at Wealthy Affiliate is completely free and that will establish a direction for you. You will learn about niches, keywords, and SEO plus have mentors to draw on when needed.
You will be part of forum life where people just like you are seeking the same life goals. There is no pressure you can be as active as you want.
Yes if this is a career you want you may have to pay out some money to get your sites hosted and do more advanced training but you will do that with the full understanding of your commitment.
Are your writing skills good enough?
I can tell you yes however the proof is in the pudding. There are a couple of million blogs done every day and it is not just about writing. If you find a problem do a bit of reading about it, get some experience and a solution, and the job is done.
Blogs are short and sharp words and paragraphs that have a defined format. Anyone can do it.
There are tools to help you and simple ways to format your work that make it all easy. However, it does not distract from the artistic you.
Why mummy bloggers can really write and be very successful
Where do you start the journey to becoming a successful blogger?
I have out played the steps above and recommended a basic training course that will establish your affinity with blogging. This is important because it may be a lifetime journey and you really need to know if you want to do this. I also want you to be armed with enough basic information to avoid the spam world that infiltrates our lives. There are many out there that want your money and I don't want you to get hurt or distracted from your prime goal.
Finding time to blog among the chaos.
Haha, the day is filled with demands and where can you possibly fit in anything else?
I understand this however you must make some YOU time in the 24 hours available.
Early morning, late night, sleep time even getting your partner to take the reins for a time.
We don't want excuses we want you to take action.
Am I qualified to offer blogging advice?
I have been blogging for a few years so I have a good understanding of what is required. I am a graduate of Wealthy Affiliate and sit in the top 150 of the pack. Nearly one point four million users at WA.
I have three daughters, two daughters-in-law, and four female grandchildren. What's more, a majority of them have an Internet journey to make an online income. The ten-year-old (a twin) has placed her art for sale on the internet so a journey started.
Conclusion
I have floated an idea that can provide you with immense satisfaction and take just enough of your day space to be a valuable addition to society.
We all read blogs every day so it is not a passing phase, it is a real-life adventure that you can easily be part of.
This has been kept deliberately short as my aspiration is to get you thinking about possibilities and how you can improve your life by providing a valuable contribution to society.
I hope you enjoyed reading.
