Mommybloggers : The Resource.
{Wait! I'm moving the Mom Bloggers Resource to its own site at AmplifyHer.com! We just ran out of room over here. Don't grab the badge down there because I'll have a new one soon.}
The ultimate resource for Mom Bloggers. Sure, but...
Mom Bloggers are the ultimate resource.
So much is being made of mommybloggers,
mombloggers,
mommy bloggers, mom bloggers, moms who blog, blogging moms, etc. etc.
that I wanted to write a little about the business of mommyblogging from my perspective.
In doing so, I compiled a list of some of my favorite posts about "mommyblogging" as a genre topic for my own research purposes.
My research resource is your research resource.
Want to know why they do it?
How they feel about it?
Who reads them?
Who pitches to them?
What they think of PR people?
What they can do for you?
What they want from you?
It's here.
Did I miss something fabulous that you've written on the subject? Something you loved written by someone else on the topic? Send it my way!
