A Problogger Mom

The New York Times recently ran this article: Can Blogs Become a Big Source of Jobs?

The article points out, that as blogs are becoming more and more popular, there is more demand for employees who can write or support them, from CEO’s on down.

“There’s almost an ecosystem of jobs that have emerged around blogs,” said Paul Forster, chief executive at Indeed.com, a job search engine with postings from more than 5,000 sources. “It’s an emerging area where there are many more opportunities related to the blog rather than being a dedicated blog writer.”

If so, I would love to connect with you to network and learn from each other. I have found blog networks for moms (TheMomBlogs)and blog networks for women (Blogher), but I have yet to find a group or network of moms and or women who are purposely trying to earn money blogging. If this is you, or if you know of a group or network, please post!

I had a New Years resolution to find a way to bring more money into the household. I already sell on eBay and run that business while being an at home Mom. My goal was to find other ways that I could make money online. I stumbled upon Darren Rowse’s Problogger.net site, and I thought this just might be a way. In researching professional bloggers and ways to earn money from blogging, I haven’t really run across many successful women doing this, or mom’s for that matter. I’m hoping to find them though! I know many women who blog, so why not earn money while doing it? I don’t expect to get rich (although that sure would be nice!), but if this becomes a means for me to stick to my resolution and make it happen, than I will feel great about it. I would love to hear from other probloggers, especially women, and hope that we can network and support each other and we’ll just see what happens!
