Comments on: Mommy Blogging http://www.fromdatestodiapers.com/2008/04/mommy-blogging.html Tips and tricks from a Mommy Blogger on making family life FUN! Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:04:23 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Michelle http://www.fromdatestodiapers.com/2008/04/mommy-blogging.html/comment-page-1#comment-4384 Michelle Tue, 13 May 2008 17:30:00 +0000 http://www.fromdatestodiapers.com/?p=654#comment-4384 I've blogged about this topic. For me, it comes from a genuine desire to know it is done. I had no idea that it had gotten to the point of name calling and finger pointing like it has. I'd love to know the secret myself. I write every day, work hard, answer all my comments and emails, try to network, and I do it all in the middle of the night, forsaking sleep, from a little PC in the corner of basement. I don't even own a laptop or any type of PDA. I just really like doing it, and hope to be successful at it. I’ve blogged about this topic. For me, it comes from a genuine desire to know it is done.

It all just depends on what is going on at the moment. It does suck when Mom bloggers are afraid to come outright with things going on in fear they will hurt another blogger/s. It's like a fend for yourself/lets all stick together type thing.<br/><br/>In no way should anyone be envious of the trips some Moms get to go on. They didn't beg and plead to go, yet simply they they were invited. Get noticed and you will be envited as well!

I recently moved off of wordpress.com to my own domain and am having to rebuild all my incoming links. I want to start doing so advertising as well. At any rate, I have been wondering what makes a "good mommyblogger" and this article really helps, espeically with the links to the articles that Michelle and others wrote. <br/><br/>It is awesome that so many mommybloggers are being recognized by larger companies with these trips. It is good pr for the companies and it is an awesome reward for the bloggers who do put so much time and effort into their blogs. <br/><br/>No matter what the industry is, there will always be those who are jealous and want to take shots at those who succeed. You certainly should not have to defend your blog and I am glad you do not. Your blog speaks for itself. I enjoy it and others do as well! I really like this post.

I don't know what purpose any of that serves. *shakes head*<br/><br/>The bottom line is that if you write about what you know and enjoy it will show. If you're good at it people will eventually take notice.<br/><br/>Keep up the good work! :) It’s a shame that the finger pointing and name calling is going on.

Keep up the good work! :)

When I started blogging back in the dark ages (2003), I had no intention of meeting PR people and getting free stuff. I was just writing about what was happening in my life - mainly because writing is what I've always done (and I have a WGA card to prove that). It was a complete surprise when companies started coming to me. <br/><br/>I have no idea how to become an "A" list blogger. I do it because I have a compulsion to write and I enjoy the challenge of trying to make myself a better writer. AND I love the people I've met through blogging. I have more in common with my online friends than many of the people I know in the "real world" (for one thing, they all share my weird compulsion). You said it, simply and succinctly.
