Living My MoMent was started in April 2009. I had been a SAHM for over a year and felt that I needed to contribute financially to our family. For awhile I had been researching ways to make money and still be able to work at home, but none of those options seemed quite right to me. I didn’t know much about blogging but knew that I had a knack for writing and wanted to explore my options. With the economy as bad as it is, the thought of starting up my own business was not feasible for us at that moment, but how great would it be if I could support other moms who did have their own companies during these hard times. That’s when I am came up with Living My MoMent. The name has two meanings; obviously the first one is living in the moment and not focusing too much on what the future will hold. Living your life day to day and cherishing the moments you have with your children right now. The other meaning is how important it is to stress the MoM part of the word MoMent because that is what the site is all about; helping other MoMs out and being their support system.
The site is geared towards MoMs and giving them exposure for their business. My most popular advertising option is the FREE one for MoMbusinesses and MoMblogs. I put in a logo of their website, do a write up about their company and the products they offer, mention their specials and also plug the other social networking sites they are a part of, like Facebook and Twitter. I also write about Living My MoMent as a Mom of a toddler, being pregnant with our second child and things that are going on in my life at the Moment. The website also provides MoMgiveaways, MoMreviews (of products), MoMSpecials, MoMFeatures and a listing of MoMblogs. We have a little bit for everyone, so come check us out and see how we can help your business grow!
Hi,
I’m new to blogging (since the end of May 09) and wow there is so much to learn. But it’s been fun. Best of luck in the financial area. I know how you feel. I contribute very little (my blog has made a little so far) compared to my husband and I feel icky about it.
I have a mom-blog and if you’d like to write something up about my blog I’d love it.
