Bloggertunities: 20 New Resources for Bloggers this Week

blogging opportunities for women bloggers

“If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to it.” – Jonathan Winters

Summer was super challenging for me. I feel like I’ve gotten way of course, off track, off schedule. Having my nephews here all day every day – in addition to my little girl who just turned two – was a lot more work than I had anticipated. I worked too much, didn’t make enough time for fun, yet still didn’t accomplish even half of what I should have the past couple of months. But – a new school year always feels like the “real” new year to me…. I’ve bought a new desk calendar and a few new office supplies. I cleaned out my Blogging Binder {which I need to do a post about since ya’all keep asking…} and cleaned off my bulletin board. My brother and the kids just moved out, after us all living together for the past 2 1/2 years…. Bittersweet. I miss them already, but I am excited to have more space for a real office, and a playroom for Abby. So – over the course of the next couple of weeks I’m going to re-evaluate things, and revamp. I’m totally ready for fall and new opportunities – are you?

Remember – Feel free to share your best blogging tips posts, event sign up forms, linkys and hops – anything that you think others might find helpful, share it in the comments! I love seeing all the good stuff you guys post too.

Makin’ Money with your Blog

  • Paper Coterie: This is quickly becoming my VERY favorite affiliate that I’ve ever worked with. Not only are they super simple to use {their system is set up just like Escalate, very user friendly} – but they even send out emails once every couple of weeks or so with a FREE PRODUCT coupon code! This is a great way to start stocking up on really pretty, personalized, paper products for holiday gifts.
  • BlogFrog Influencers: Join the Influencer Circle on BlogFrog – see their site for the minimum requirements. If you meet them – apply for opportunities to share great brands and campaigns with your readers, and earn fun compensation too!
  • Bloggabase: This is a brand new network – but you can sign up to be notified when they officially launch. Says it’s a network from the bloggers perspective – with new ways to monetize, get opps, and more. Sign up for Bloggabase here.
  • Social Spark: Super simple posts that you write right on their site, and you get to choose whether to accept posts, to ensure you only share brands that are a good fit to be interesting to your readers. Good payouts that pay directly into your PayPal account. Going into the holidays, this is going to be a great money maker – Last year it was one of my best.

Promote Your Posts

  • Blog Nation: Submit your blog’s RSS feed to Blog Nation – they’ll syndicate all posts to their site. Users who are reading posts there can click whether they like them or not… The more popular your post, the more likely it is to get shown to more and more people – driving traffic your way! Easy peasy.
  • List your Blog: I loooove this list. I haven’t finished it all, but try to go back to it once a month – 62 Places to List Your Website or Blog for Free. The more “doors” there are to your site on the web, the more ways people can find their way to you. Plus some of the links are do follow, which helps build your page rank.
  • Promoting Posts: I love this infographic that shows 12 Things You Should Do After Writing a Blog Post. It’s so important – especially on your good quality evergreen posts – to get them promoted in a variety of different ways. I’ve used many of these tips with success – and it’s a good reminder. I printed it out to add to my blogging binder!
  • Drive Traffic: This is a great post – 50 Ways to Drive Massive Traffic to Your Blog. Each tip is a one liner – super simple ideas that are totally do-able. Many you’ve probably already tried, or thought of… But it’s a great way to jump start your creativity again, and think of new ways to boost your blog.

Tools, Resources, and Good Reads

  • Rafflecopter: This is a really great break-down of survey results that Rafflecopter did to determine how many entries should be on a giveaway form. It shows how many most businesses and bloggers use, and what most giveaway entrants prefer. Interesting – and I was glad to see I fall into the middle ground on this one.
  • Ethics: This is a great post about ethics in blogging – following the laws and regulations that apply to you, as well as doing the right thing – even when you don’t have to. Get it here Tips to Avoid Ethical Pitfalls in Blogging and Social Media.
  • Facebook: This is a perfect post on how to get more interaction on your Facebook fan page. I mean – there’s only so much that you can control, Facebook changes all.the.time. But – when you learn a bit about how Edgerank works, and how Facebook decides which updates to share in people’s newsfeeds, you can bump up your “seen by” numbers quite a bit.

Events to Join

  • Eddie Bauer Giveaway: This rocks – Join in this great event to give away an Eddie Bauer 3-Wheel Travel System! If you’re a member of MDIB you get one free link – extras are only $1 each. Super cool. Join here.
  • Blogs to Riches: I love Lisa Cash Hanson from Mompreneur Mogul – such a fun site packed with great tips. And – she has a new community, Blogs to Riches club. To celebrate, and have a chance to win some fab bloggy prizes, join her giant giveaway event here: Blogs to Riches Membership Giveaway Event.
  • Party: Healthy Child, Healthy World is looking for influential moms to host in-home parties to share great “green” brands, like  Seventh Generation, Plum Organics and LUNA. Apply on their site if you’re interested.

Awesome books to read

But – sign up to be a part of Question Moms, so we can notify you this fall as we roll out some cool new ambassadorship campaigns, and other cool new opps. I’m very excited to see things coming together!

Bloggertunities: Blogging Opportunities for Women 8/18

opportunities for women bloggers

“You don’t write because you want to say something; you write because you’ve got something to say.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

Ok – I’ve been a bit inconsistent with these Blogging Opportunity posts lately, I know it. Having my nephews home from school for the summer was a lot more work and stress than I had anticipated. Then there was the travel for conferences. And all the kiddos who like to come visit each afternoon because we’re one of the only people in our group of friends with a pool, lol. But – as school is getting ready to start again, and my days will have a little more structure and stability back in them – You can look forward to the weekly Bloggertunities post every Wednesday morning again, starting soon. {So be sure to sign up for my email updates so you never miss one!} This post isn’t as full as usual, because I’m still catching up from BlogHer – Ohmyohmy, what 6 days away from checking my email can do…. But I hope you find some good stuff! If you have events, sign ups, linkys, hops, or cool news to share, leave it in the comments below.

Bloggertunities: Blogging Opportunities for Mom Bloggers

blogging opportunities for mom bloggers

“Thinking too long about doing something is often the reason it never gets done.” – Everyday Life Lessons

Love this quote. I do tend to have a tendency to procrastinate… I over-analyze things, I doubt myself, I question my decisions. It’s a terrible habit. But, my goal this year was to dream big. Get gutsy. Grow some lady balls, if you will. And so far – I am pretty amazed with myself. Big example – BlogHer. Last year I felt like I was too small, too unknown, it would be silly to go to a big conference full of blogging rock stars, right? But at the last minute, I committed to splitting a room in New York City with a couple of girls I’d never even met. I bought a ticket for the conference. I had NO idea how I’d accomplish it all, or afford it, or heck – how I’d manage navigating NYC all on my own!!?? But – I got to meet one of my roomies during the Nike trip, and again at Reviewer’s Retreat, and she freakin’ rocks. My other roomie was uh-MAY-zing in scoring us some great sponsors that covered our whole hotel room bill. At the last minute, I was invited to be a part of the new Best Buy Blogging Board, and get to meet them at BlogHer. So, my best advice this week is to stop dreaming, planning, wondering – and start DOING! Just jump into things, even if they scare you. You will ALWAYS have more regrets about things you didn’t try, then things you tried that didn’t work out. Promise :) So – use these tips and links to help you learn & try some new things, and let me know if you’re going to BlogHer too, so I can connect with you there! {There is a whole section of BlogHer links this week too!}

  • Finding your Niche: While some disagree with me, I know – every time I talk to brands about building blogger campaigns, I hear how they want to find bloggers not with the biggest numbers – but with the most targeted communities. I mean – if you have a new organic baby product to review, do you want a blogger who blogs about everything, or someone who has a really active following of like-minded readers who are passionate about green living? Something to think about… Blogging what you love: Finding your niche.

Bloggertunities: Best Blogging Opportunities for Mom Bloggers 7/3

Bloggertunities: blogging opportunities

“There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning and yearning.” – Christopher Morley

As an online media producer – which is what you are as a blogger, right? – you have to be constantly striving to learn new things. The web changes daily. Heck, maybe even hourly! There is always a new tool to discover, a new tip to learn, a new plugin to check out, a new way to earn money to try. The moment you think you’ve hit the big time, get comfortable, and stop yearning for more… That’s the moment that the competition passes you. So – I totally agree with this week’s quote: Learning, Earning, and Yearning are what will drive you towards success when working online. And hopefully you’ll learn some new tips in this post to help you earn more, and motivate you to keep yearning for the next new cool discovery that will boost your blog up another notch. Got tips to share? I love comments – and the more great tips, resources, and links you leave in the comments of this post, the more great content there is for everyone who stops by to read this week’s post! I look forward to seeing what types of cool stuff you guys have to share {and if it’s something ongoing like a linky, let me know so I can feature it here next week.}

Build a Better Blog During the Blogathon Bash! #Blogathon2

Biannual Blogathon BashThe Blogathon Bash is ON!! I’m super excited to devote some time this weekend to improving my blog – learning new skills, connecting with new people, and pushing myself to complete some challenges that will make my blog a little better and brighter. If you’ve never heard of the Blogathon Bash before, here’s a quick rundown of what it’s all about…

The Biannual Blogathon Bash is a twice yearly event designed for bloggers to get much needed work done on their blog. All bloggers are welcome. The event is 72 hours, do as much blogging as you can during this time. Aim for 24 hours total but we are flexible! We will have mini challenges (fun, easy projects that will better your blog) and prizes to be won. In between blogathons, watch for posts about blogging.

Sounds pretty cool, right?

Many of you know that Abby was in the hospital with a series of seizures last week – which means I’ve once again, been knocked off of my schedule. The past few months seem to have just been one thing after another… The hard drive crashed on my computer, taking with it my mostly-completed ebook, every picture I had of Abby as a baby, and tons of programs and info. Then my site got hacked, and I lost an entire week of access to my blog. {What I learned getting hacked.} But that’s the glamorous life of a rockstar super mom blogger, right? :) Since I’ve been so off schedule the past few months, I know that there are a few upgrades I need to make, so the mini-challenges are perfect for me. Challenges like “Boost Your Blog Design with No Budget,” and “Tools to Make Twitter Work for Your Blog” are totally going to help me, and are worth cutting into my weekend time to accomplish.

Will You Join Me?

I hope to see some of you ladies {and gentlemen, if you’re reading too!} at the Twitter party tomorrow morning. And if you’d like to get a jump-start on the mini-challenges, you can check out mine here – How to Monetize Your Blog: 5 Simple Steps #Blogathon2. Make sure to click through that one to the Blogathon site, so you can sign up and be entered to win some pretty sweet prizes.

Let’s get bloggin’!!
