Better Skills. Faster Stats. More Money.
Time management for a blogger is something that all bloggers struggle with, especially if they are writing to make a living from their blog (yes, this can be done!) Here are a few of my best tips for time management: Home: 1- Slow cooker meals. This has been the best thing that I've done for our family since starting my blog. I found that I wasn't planning my meals, so we were going out twice a week and I don't like to eat out because it ...
This was originally posted in 2013, but just a reminder that we think you'll love! … "How do you balance blogging and family time?" - This is an important question for bloggers to consider, and it's something that I think about a lot! I have two extraordinarily rambunctious toddlers on my hands, so my hands are already pretty full, before you add blogging to the mix. Learning how to balance blogging and family time is vital. I have been writing ...
There are a lot of "rules" that go along with sponsored posts… Lets start with the Disclosure: 1- What is a disclosure and why do you need them? The purpose of a disclosure is to help readers determine if the blogger is endorsing a brand or not. Don't worry… You can get creative- it doesn't have to be the same boring disclosure. a- Your disclosure has to be stated BEFORE any links - linking to the brand. b- Your links need to be ...
Page views: 2.9 million. My page views this month were at 2.9 million (I owe a lot of it to my "Mommy, will you lay with me" post that went viral.) It went up just a touch from last month. Facebook: 25,215 (I have never kept track of FB or Pinterest, so I can't really compare it to anything for you… this is my way of keeping track) Pinterest: 15,770 Background: I was an elementary school teacher, before I became a ...

Last week we covered affiliate marketing for bloggers, so we thought it was a good time to follow up with another popular way of monetization for bloggers. Sponsored posts. A few of the things we will explore this week: Are sponsored posts the right choice for you How do you find ...
Becky and I both share our incomes from our other blogs here on BOTS. We do this as an example of what can be done with blogging. There are people who make MUCH more than we do and others who are not monetizing their blogs. We have both found it extremely beneficial in our own growth as bloggers, when other people share their tips, and even their numbers and income. It helps all of us grow when we can see the different options that are out ...
(This post, as with any on BOTS, may contain affiliate links) Pageviews: My page views this month were at 2.9 million (I owe it to a lot of Christmas posts that went viral, like my "25 reasons why my Elf on the Shelf forgot to move" post…). I am not expecting it to stay that way in January, but I'll enjoy it for now! Background: I was an elementary school teacher, before I became a stay-at-home-mom and one-day-a-week play ...

Today I want to talk to you about how to make money with shareasale and other affiliate companies. Sometimes Amazon just isn't available to you, or you want to make a higher percentage per sale- that is where these come into play! I (Becky) live in North Carolina and for the longest time, we were not allowed to be a part of the Amazon Associates program, so I had to find other means of affiliates sales. I went with ShareaSale, Commission ...
