A few days ago, I informed you all in a post that my friend Rachel and I have been scheming up plans to join forces and start a blog. Well after many late night meetings at Starbucks, afternoon rendezvous at each other's houses while kids napped, consulting with other bloggers and graphic designers, a gazillions texts and phone calls back and forth, and walks at the mall or outside weather permitting, we are finally ready to launch this sucker.
I'd love if you all would come along. To do that, you may want to know the why, what and how of our new blog.
Q: Why did you decide to start a blogging business together?
A: We decided to do this because…
- We both love blogging and working together. It's a fun, creative outlet for the both of us. We also feel like we bring different interests and talents together to make a blog more holistic for people out there who are going to read it.
- We enjoy sharing things we're learning about the home, healthy living, and saving money with other people, especially moms. We feel like this new blog will give us a chance to do that on an even bigger scale.
- We're hoping this venture might generate a little extra income for our growing families while doing something we would already be doing anyway. And, if not, we won't be out too much money and will have learned a lot along the way!
Q: What is the blog about?
A: It's a homemaker-type site full of healthy kid-friendly recipes, DIY and creative home projects, parenting resources, ideas for thrifty and simple living, and product reviews. Check out our "What is Thriving Home?" page.
Q: How can I help you get started?
A: If you find our recipes and other content helpful, we sure would love it if you could help us get started. Here are two BIG ways:
1) Let people know about us in any of these ways:
1 - "Like" our Facebook page.
2 - Share a link to Thriving Home (www.thrivinghomeblog.com) on Facebook. Additionally, as you see posts from Thriving Home that you enjoy, share them on Facebook with your friends. There is a button at the bottom of each of our posts to easily do this.
3 - Pin or repin any of our posts on Pinterest. You can easily do this at the bottom of each of our posts.
4 - If you have your own blog, consider sharing about Thriving Home or putting us on your blogroll list.
5 - Tell or email moms you know about our site.
6 - Tell others about Thriving Home on Twitter.
2) A second BIG way you could help us is by simply starting any of your Amazon searches from a link on our blog.
You'll see a box on the right side bar (see a pic of it below) where you can begin. We have an Amazon Affiliate account, so if people get to Amazon from our blog and then buy something, we get a little kick-back from whatever is purchased. It's sort of a "no skin off your back" way of helping fund what we do, so thanks!
Thanks so much for reading and encouraging me all these years. I hope you'll come along with me on this new venture!
Sincerely,
Polly
