Have a big promotion coming up on your blog? Read this post to learn how to think long-term about it!
As you likely know, it was Amazon Prime Day this past Monday and Tuesday. And because of the affiliate income potential, this is one of a deal blogger’s favorite days each year.
Amazon Prime Day means a lot more traffic and affiliate commission for bloggers — especially if you blog about deals.
But these high income and high traffic days only come around a couple of days each year, and then things sort of bounce right back to normal.
Maybe it’s not Prime Day for you, but all of us have spurts of traffic and income throughout the year. Maybe it’s a huge product promotion you’re running. Or maybe you get a spike in traffic from a news spotlight or a social media share from a bigger blogger.
Whatever it is for your specific niche, I think it’s really important to get creative and strategic in thinking long-term when you have a big short-term spurt in traffic or income!
Do you ever have a great idea, but you’re not sure if you should go live with it on the Internet? Read this post for some tips on how to know whether an idea is worthy of being published!
I got a great question from a follower a few days ago. She asked:
“What makes something worthy of a blog post, a social media post, or an email newsletter?”
I think this is a really fantastic question, because I sometimes just assume everyone sort of innately knows the answer to this. But that’s not true!
I’ve been blogging for 14 years nearly every single day, so I just sort of know what would make a great blog post or if an idea is something my audience would be interested in.
But when you’re first starting out, it’s easy to second guess yourself and wonder what you should post about.

After taking almost two entire years off from conference speaking, I finally decided to say yes to some opportunities again this year to see how it would feel to be back on the road.
And I have honestly LOVED being back on the road and getting to speak at conferences again! I forgot how much I enjoyed it!
While I was recently at the ThinkTank conference, I was sort of reminded how easy it is to slip into the background or feel like an outsider.
So I thought it’d be beneficial to put together some helpful tips on how to get the most out of a blogging conference.
Have you ever had something frustrating happen with your business — something totally outside your control?
It can feel SO overwhelming when something goes wrong with your business. It’s really easy to freak out, become paralyzed, and dwell on all of the what-ifs.
But here’s the thing: freaking out won’t help anything! It only makes things worse and prevents you from gaining forward momentum in your business.
So what do you do when something unexpectedly goes wrong with your business?
“I want to prioritize my blog, but I just can’t find the time with my young kids constantly needing my attention. How do you find time to blog when you have young kids?”
I hear this question from moms all. the. time.
People constantly ask me how I found the time to build my MoneySavingMom.com blog when I had younger kids.
Though my kids are now 14, 11, and 9, and I’ve moved on from the young-kids season, there was a long period of time when I worked full-time with young kids at home.
If I’m being honest, I actually worked a lot of 65-70 hour work weeks when my kids were younger. I definitely do not recommend that!
