In this session of The Smart Passive Income Podcast, I’m excited to have a chat with successful mom blogger, Meagan Francis from TheHappiestHome.com!
The mom blogger community is a huge force with incredible klout in the blogosphere. When I was working as the web and social media director for Crooked Arrows, part of our marketing strategy was specifically geared towards targeting mom bloggers because we knew just how much influence they could have. Together, they can take something that’s relatively unknown and make it world-famous in a short period of time.
The dynamic and also perception of the mom blogger community is really interesting, so I was excited to have a chance to speak with Meagan, a mom blogger who is also an author, public speaker, and she just had her first six-figure year last year. We talk about how she got started, as well as how she and others in her community are getting traffic, marketing and monetizing their blogs. There are definitely some great lessons to be learned here, no matter what kind of business you might have.
She told me that her work life and personal life have never melded so well together, and she’s having a blast doing exactly what she wants to do, which is awesome! Here is a picture of Meagan and her lovely family!
