How to Start a Mommy Blog That Actually Makes You Money
If you’ve found your way onto this page then I’m guessing that at some point the thought of starting a blog or making money online has crossed your mind.No doubt, too, that along with that thought has come some disbelief and doubt that you—or anyone else for that matter—can actually make money blogging.
In fact, a lot of people compare building a profitable mommy blog to being some kind of impossible task…
I’m here to tell you that you can make money blogging, though. I know you can, because I’ve done it. And, I’ve done it with multiple blogs & websites, in multiple niches.
It has changed my life…
Through blogging, I have been able to make enough money so that I can stay home with our son (and we have another boy on the way!), take my family on multiple vacations, have the flexibility of a schedule I create, and create financial freedom for my family.
And, if I can do it, so can you…
So, this page was made by me, for you, in order to provide you with a complete step-by-step process of building a profitable blog.
Already know what you want to blog about? All you need now is hosting! If you’re just starting out I recommend a basic hosting package from Siteground (50% off link). You can check there to see if your domain name is available.
Picking a Topic & Setting Up Your Blog
A lot of people go out and start a random blog on a free blogging platform like Blogger, or Tumblr, or the free version of WordPress and, if you’re just looking to start a blog for fun, that’s okay. However, if you want to make money as a blogger, you need to A) focus on a certain topic (preferably one you enjoy and are familiar with), and B) own your own domain name.
In this first section, I will walk you through how to setup a profitable blog. Then, once you’re blog is setup correctly, in the next section I will take you through the steps you need to take in order to start making a monthly income from your blog.
Content Creation & Content Promotion
Now that your blog is setup correctly, the real work begins. In order to make money with your blog, you need to have excellent content. However, the concept that “Content is Queen” is somewhat flawed in that it convinces some that all you need to do is produce great content.
That, of course, isn’t true. Along with great content, you need to be able to promote it well.
The better you promote your content the more people you will get and the more earning potential your blog will have.
In this section I’ll walk you through how to come up with a content strategy, how to create a social media strategy, how to produce high quality content, and how to promote your content well.
Rinse and Repeat
You’ve done your research, you’ve picked a profitable topic, you’ve bought a domain & hosting, you’ve setup and designed your blog, you’ve come up with a content strategy, you’ve created your first few pieces of content, and you’ve promoted it like a boss…
You have now come much further than most people ever will to successfully building a profitable blog.
But your work is really just beginning.
You see, producing content and promoting that content is the name of the game. And, the more content you produce, and the more you promote it, the better your results will be.
The good news, though, is that producing content and promoting it is all you have to do now.
