I thought it would be helpful to cover my naming process with you so you can see that A) it was very hard for me too and B) that there's a method to choosing a perfect blog name (in hindsight). :) How I Named My Blog Before I started blogging, I agonized over my blog's URL, www.whatmommydoes.com, for weeks before settling on that name! I came up with dozens of potential names and couldn't make a decision one way or another. It wasn't until my best friend from high school, Keep Reading

It's seriously kicking my butt all over the place. It’s called Making Sense of Affiliate Marketing and it’s written by Michelle Schroeder-Gardner of Making Sense of Cents.

10 Things I’ve Sold by Accident Online as a Blogger
One of my favorite things about being a blogger is the ability to recommend my favorite products and services to my readers and get paid for those recommendations. I write blogs posts about my favorite things, say, the best books I've found to encourage my kids to eat veggies. But then something weird happens. Sometimes, I sell other things on ACCIDENT. If you're already a blogger who's part of the Amazon Associates program, you probably know what I mean. What happen is that I will refer people to one item, but they will never actually buy that item - instead, they purchase other Keep Reading
