Stitch Fix Review

By Dawn Leave a Comment

I had been wanting to try Stitch Fix for several months now. I finally took the plunge and can give you my honest Stitch Fix review based on my experience from completing my customer profile to receiving my first order.

I had never spent so much money on a single outfit before now. Despite that, I still intend to use Stitch Fix again for buying new clothes.

How to Back Up your WordPress Site to Google Drive

By Dawn Leave a Comment

Why should you worry about backing up your site? If you are self-hosted, you may be thinking your host server is backed up, and that may be true. Thankfully, backing up your site is simple and free with one WordPress plugin and Google Drive. 

Is your blog content at risk? Learn how to back up your WordPress site to Google Drive automatically using the UpdraftPlus free plugin.

While it may seem unlikely that your hosting company would go under or their servers with your data would get hacked, the truth is that by not backing up your site, you are putting all of your content at risk. I feel better having more control over my own data. After all, I have put a lot of work into my websites.

Work at Home Moms: It’s Ok to Put Child in Daycare

A Mom’s Guilt

I often feel embarrassed telling someone I take my two year-old daughter to daycare while I stay at home. I feel guilty that I don’t want to be with my daughter all the time. I feel guilty that I pay money to have my daughter away from me 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week. Do I have a desire to change that? Not at all! But the social stigma makes me feel guilty.

I like having my daughter in daycare and she enjoys being there. I get time to do work that is enjoyable for me and allows me to earn money from home.

Most of the mommy bloggers I follow got their start in blogging because it was something they could do from home, while their kids were home too. Some even homeschool their kids at the same time. Since I am working from home, I could have my daughter home with me, but I choose not to. I take my daughter to daycare so I can work at home, in peace.

The Ultimate Guide to Finding Sponsored Blog Posts

By Dawn Leave a Comment

There are four primary ways to make money from your blog:

  1. Ad networks
  2. Affiliate marketing
  3. Private advertising
  4. Selling your own product or service

One option for private advertising on your blog is to write and publish sponsored posts. A sponsored post is a post you publish on your own blog (or on social media) that a brand pays you for. Many bloggers love sponsored posts because they can use them to make a large amount of money in a short amount of time.

Looking for sponsored posts? This is the most comprehensive list of where to find offers for sponsored posts for bloggers.

Your sponsored post could be a product review where you receive the product for free in return for your honest review. It could be an informational post about the company and what they have to offer that would benefit your readers. It could also be a normal post where the brand is mentioned in the post with a link to the brand’s site because it is related to the content your are writing.

Working with bloggers is a great way for brands to spread their message. Bloggers are great at sharing information with their readers in a natural and authentic way. They have to be in order to build and keep the trust of their readers. [Read more…] about The Ultimate Guide to Finding Sponsored Blog Posts

Welcome!

Hi. I'm Dawn. I am married with two active kids, a boy and a girl. I enjoy reading, photographing family activities, and preparing home-cooked meals. My education is in business, my working background is in accounting, and I love creating spreadsheets to organize just about everything.

I started blogging in 2013. During my blogging journey, I realized how much I enjoy digging into the technical side of blogging and helping other bloggers to understand analytics and the behind-the-scenes workings of WordPress.
