Finding Your Niche
Blogging is a trendy thing women do today in order to supplement income for their families while being there for them. You have your standard SAHM (stay at home mom) who blog about anything from saving money to getting dinner on the table. Another popular Acronym is WAHM (work at home mom) who again blog about much the same. It isn't as easy and it could take years to build a following substantial enough to make money from traffic.
The first piece of advice you will read anywhere about starting your blog is to find a niche. Find the one thing you can bring to the table that makes your opinion unique. That is easier said than done, just because you think its something of interest doesn't make it so. My advice here is think of the one thing friends and family tell you that you should do - "That potato salad is awesome! You should sell that!" or "This party is fantastic! You should be a professional planner." We all hear this but don't realize that may just be our niche in the world!

I Survived 31DBBB!!
What is that you ask? It really means 31 days to build a better blog.Problogger started this and I found many others who have accomplished it within the Mom blogging community.
So I thought - I can do that! I work on my blog almost everyday so this should be a cinch! Too easy! I have the information needed to start!
Day 1: Write an Elevator Pitch
Screeech! My town only has one public elevator, and it only goes up one floor. After moving here from Atlanta, that in itself was a shocker! Could I really pitch my blog in the length of that ride? So basically if I cant tweet it, its too long.
I definitely appreciate all Darren Rowse's advice about getting paid to blog, and how he does it! He gives you tips and tricks on how to get the right blog advertising.

What About The Blogs You Adore?
In A Nutshell
Find your niche -
Make sure you are flexible enough to have plenty to write about. If you get too specific about a topic you will limit your ability to find more to write about.
Be original -
Becoming a mom who blogs isn't an original concept, but being yourself who happens to be a mom blogger may just be the thing others are looking for!
Im no expert by any means. I just happen to be someone who blogs. I have had the opportunity to see following the crowd isn't getting me anywhere. Now that Im doing it my way and on my schedule, Im enjoying my family & Im actually seeing some income.
Blog Gear!
