ARE YOU A GOOD VIRTUAL NEIGHBOR
I was so shocked when my article "You're The 1st Lady Of Your Blog So Act Like It" was read as many times as it was. So many times, we as bloggers, set double standards for our websites. We may want to work with certain types of companies, but then the material that we put on our website is contradictory to the fact.
This brings up another topic that revolves around blogging: blogging community.
Are you a good "virtual neighbor?"
How do you treat the people that come by your blog? Do you welcome them with open arms and tell them to make th...

YOU ARE THE 1ST LADY OF YOUR BLOG, SO ACT LIKE IT
I have been running websites off and on since 2003. It’s something that I love to do. I love writing and sharing about my life. Blogs are like reality television to me, only better. Why? Because what you are reading is in real time. It has either just happened the day before, is currently happening or is about to happen in the near future.
The writers behind blogs share personal stories, triumphs, failures, words of encouragement, family favorite recipes, pictures, videos and their tried, true and tested tips, as well as their opinions and k...

SHOW NOTES 5-21-09 – WRITING A MEDIA KIT
Last nights show was really fun for me to do. As you can tell, I love all things blogging. I stumbled across all of the information that I know and I have no problems with sharing my "knowledge". The topic of the show was How To Write A Media Kit. I think that it is very important for every blogger who wants to monetize their blog, do reviews or host giveaways to have a media kit. It helps alleviate some of the extra work that you have to do, and it makes you come across as professional to the companies that you are trying to work with.

SHOW NOTES 5-14-09 – MONETIZING YOUR BLOG
I know that I get a lot of emails from readers of my website asking me if I make money from my blog. That seems to be a very popular question for me these days. The truth is "Yes, I do make money from my blog." Did I start blogging to make money? "No." I learned about monetizing my blog by stumbling into it. (Like I did everything else that involves blogging.) The decision to monetize my blog has been one of the best decisions that I have made. It has allowed me to bring in extra income into my family.
On tonight's show, I gave you the n...

AFFILIATE ORGANIZATION CHART
The good thing about blogging is that it gives you the opportunity to make money while you do something that you love. One of the best things that I have discovered since I started blogging is affiliate programs. It allows me to place advertisements, both text and graphical, on my website and earn money from them.
The downside of affiliate programs? Not all of them will work for every website. (But that is an article for another day.)
I know that when I first got started with affiliate programs, I had a hard time keeping up with the who, ...
