How to Start a Successful Blog If You’re Busy with a Child
Many stay-at-home parents choose to get a job or start a business from home. Nowadays, it’s relatively easy to do, as we are backed up with the technology. You need only a PC/laptop and an Internet connection to find a way to make money while being near your baby.
However, some people don’t have time even for that, searching for an option would allow them to keep the focus on their baby. Fortunately, such an option exists, and you can develop it into a business. The option is creating a child-themed blog, later reviewing or promoting products/other blogs for money or choosing any other business direction.
Professional bloggers may still need a lot of time, but here’s how you can become successful without losing track of the baby:
- Children-related topics.
Making children your main topic will allow you to learn more about child development, nutrition, education, etc. This will help you not only become an online expert for other parents, but also know what’s good for your own child. - Learning about the latest innovations in baby-related equipment.
Dive into the world of baby equipment, and you will not only find the ideas for reviews for the blog (which you can also get paid for). You will also be able to learn about some space-, time-, and effort-saving things for your baby and yourself. For example, there’s a pack n play-themed blog by a successful mother and entrepreneur Sophie van der Linden. She writes TOP ratings like best pack and play with a changing table or any other special feature. - Getting ideas and making notes while spending time together.
Don’t spend extra time on waiting for your creativity to strike, get ideas from your everyday interaction with your child/children. There are so many interesting things about the first years of their life, your handling of troublesome situations, etc. - Writing when the baby is asleep.
Unless it’s the same time you get a chance to sleep, try writing when the child is asleep or outside with any of your relatives/another parent. During that time, you will be able to focus on the right way to write, use keywords, upload photos, etc. - Make other people work for your blog.
After some time, you can encourage your readers contribute to your blog, hire a photographer for special blog-posts, a SEO (search engine optimization) expert, and a PR manager. Your business will rise, and you will have less and less work to do by yourself.
Make these easy tips your rules as a wannabe successful blogger and the results won’t be too long to wait for!
