Here are the top five reasons why you should start a mummy blog right away. Mummy blogs have recently become a powerful force on the internet.
Mothers have unique ideas and methods of accomplishing things. As mothers of developing children, you gain new knowledge every day.
Each of us possesses a creative quality that sets us apart. We all have a creative side to us, whether it be through writing, drawing, painting, sewing, or making items.
3. To strengthen your writing skills.
Beginning a blog, you may have limited writing skills.
Beginning off can be unpleasant and even strange at first. Yet, you'll find that writing becomes easier as you get into the swing of things. You'll be able to speak more effectively, and you'll create a style that is entirely your own.
You'll gain a solid understanding of what people respond to if you write frequently.
4. Earn extra income.
A blog can generate income in several ways, including through advertising, affiliate marketing, guest blogging on other sites, and paid newspaper columns.
5. You don't need to leave home
A blog may be started without a Degree, an office, or a small business loan, which appeals mainly to women who are searching for additional income streams so they can stay at home with their kids.
Mum bloggers only need a little additional money to pay for football lessons or a family; they don't have to quit their day jobs or earn enough money to support themselves.

How brands can collaborate effectively with bloggers. **AD**
Hey readers,
I think as a brand it is really important to think about the way you work with other bloggers to promote your brand.
Below I have some tips for brands on how to work with bloggers sucessfully.
Top tips on how brands can work with design bloggers and get the best out of the work arrangement.
1. Selection process.
It is important to think about what your brand represents, you don't want to choose any blogger if they don't fit the brand or niche that they aim for.
The key is to take time your time in the selection process and consider bloggers that are appropriately matched to your brand.
For example, there is no point in choosing a blogger who blogs about beauty to get to do a review of your restaurant.
Another research method is to look for bloggers on Instagram. For example, an influencer who is already talking about your product or something similar that they tag in their pictures using.
This indicates that the blogger is already got an interest in the product so comes across as more sincere than just choosing a blogger with no in the product beforehand.
Look at the influencers past work and how they write, is it appealing to your brand. How is interacting with the blogger and their audience? These other elements consider when choosing the right candidate for your brand.
2. Website.
Impressions count and making sure your website is optimised to the best of your ability is essential.
Making sure that your website is clean and easy to navigate especially with quick load up is vital in getting visitors to your site.
3. Pitch perfect.
Having a pitch ready before contacting a blogger is important. When you reach out to the blogger you want to be precise and clear about what you want.
It is important, to be honest, as then that provides trust which is fundamental in making a good working relationship be successful.
Layout what you want from the blogger and what you can offer the blogger in return. Be prepared in making a suitable pitch - be clear about what you want, set a budget and be honest.
Remember though sometimes bloggers may want to negotiate if it doesn't feel right for them first off. Sometimes you have to work together to come to a suitable agreement so that everyone is happy with what they are doing.
4. Goals.
Goals are something you should consider with where you want to improve with your brand. Things to consider are what you want to grow in terms of say growing your branded Instagram account, increasing sales of a product or bringing traffic to your website are just a few examples.
There are many ways in which a blogger can offer service when collaborating with your brand. Below are some examples.
1. Guest blogging.
Guest posts are similar to sponsored posts however they are not paid. They normally are written for the blogger to published on their site.
This is attractive for the blogger as it is high-quality content published. The appeal to the brand is that it gets their name out there and helps increase their SEO along with not having to spend a penny on the advertising of the brand.
2. Sponsored posts.
A sponsored post is where the blogger writes a blog post all about the product.
There will be a discussion with the brand to decide on how long the blog post is and what kind of thing they would like the blogger to discuss.
After the published post and everything is finalised the blogger will get paid a sum for doing the published post about their brand.
3. Shoutouts.
This tends to be more suited for social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook where the blogger takes a photo of the brand and mentioned them in the post. The incentive will be either the blogger getting a free brand product or get paid for it.
4. Affiliate posts.
This is where the blogger writes about the product, then leaves a unique code for that product. It means that if you click on and buy the product the blogger will get say 10% of commissions from the sales of the product if the visitor buys the product through the link.
5. Interviews.
This is a more personal type of collaboration as it is about either getting to know the blogger or brand and discussions motivations and the ideas behind the work that the brand/blogger does.
There are however alternatives whereby you have someone in the middle to help brands connect with the right bloggers for projects in which you are looking for a suitable blogger.
A brilliant site that is really beneficial for bloggers and brands is called Get Blogged Marketplace.
I myself have used this platform for me to quickly get connected to brands and work with them. I find it easy to navigate and a great way to connect to brands without faffing with emails etc.
Using the Get Blogged Marketplace is time-efficient for you the brand so quickly to get access to bloggers.
The platform is ideal if you don't have a big budget but still want to get quality bloggers that provide good content.

Using the Get Blogged marketplace for your brand you can grow their backlink score and shareable content.
Not to mention that using Get Blogged marketplace you grown your SEO meaning that your brand gets seen which is important in growing your business.
The Get Blogged marketplace allows you to add a free listing to the marketplace with what you are looking for.
As many design bloggers come to the blogger outreach services daily to check to see if they can apply for opportunities. This is beneficial because it potentially means sourcing a good blogger to help achieve your goal of getting a collaboration.
Below are my top 5 design blogs that can give you a feel of what good quality bloggers can bring to the table to help enhance your brand promotion.
1. I love Typothology.
This blog specialises in all things typology with detailed information about the history, to quizzes and new fonts that are on the block right now.
This blog is from Google so there will be a lot of information about Google products and services. However, don't let that put you off as there is a wealth of articles on the world of design such as, 'Lessons From the Scariest Design Disaster in American History'.
Now Wix Creative in its own right is a blog platform but it also offers some really useful information on design. The type of content you will be able to get is inspiration, tips and general information such as how to create an online profile.
This blog hosts a variety of topics from art, illustration and graphic designs. It's Nice That is one of the best sites out there to keep up to date with design information.

Reasons to blog
If you have never blogged let me enlighten you as to why you should consider starting a blog.
That is the beauty about blogging, you can literally write about anything from domestic abuse to reasons to eat baked beans.
It is a great tool for creativity and a way to express yourself to the world.
Blogging also helped me write down my feelings and express myself.
I have autism and really struggle with verbal communication so blogged helped me look at how I was feeling and understand myself a bit better.
With blogging, I can take my time and ponder.
Blogging has helped me express myself when I maybe wouldn't have.
Writing has helped me grow in confidence in working out how I feel and exploring reasons why I respond in the way that I do.
Blog posts are fantastic as they are from the individual rather than an organisation.
They are personal and tend to be raw, making it feel more real in a sense.
Blogging is a platform to get your voice out there, anyone can read it and it isn't edited like professionals. I think that is one of the best things about blogs is that they tend to be first-hand accounts.
It makes your analysis and sees things maybe you might not instantly think of.
Over time I have learned more about me through blogging and expanding areas of myself when I write.
You may stumble across people that in normal life you would never have the opportunity to meet.
Some bloggers make long-term friendship and think that is beautiful that something positive can come out of blogging.
I am not the most successful blogger in this aspect but reading a lot of blogs if you are good at the social side of things then there are many doors that can be opened.
Some people can make a career out of blogging which I think is such an amazing opportunity to do something that you love.
