Book Review
I figure out how to find some great words for this book, the Digital Mom Handbook by Audrey McClelland and Colleen Padilla. I am going to give an honest review because I believe that the readers finish reading this book plus their honest reviews before me here.
While staying at home, I found that pink + white book with the big black title: the Digital Mom Handbook, in my other bag in the closest where I had no chance to look into yet. I wondered how forget I was about this… It did not matter at all. So I opened a book and started reading…
To tell you the truth, I think that this book is very simple + useful for the mom bloggers who want to start a blog, vlog, and etc. In this book, I found only two good tips in this book . I picked two good tips I liked from this book. Let me give you some tips I liked:
– Setting up the rules. I liked that tip. We, mom bloggers, need to make our rules because we need to balance with our family time and our blogging career. Let me say that example of this book: “Have a routine. Post every week or every day (one post per day)…” It is very perfect good idea to make the rules for balancing our family time and blogging career.
– Selling yourself. I kind of liked that tip. Creating a media kit + pitching yourself are linked to the “selling yourself” theory, I believe so.
I just give three stars rating for this book review. It is very helpful for the mom bloggers who wish to get started with profitable blogging + business. This book has great resources and information to give you on the course of building a successful online blogging + business.
# 3 is SO incredibly important! I would have never known about tribes until a wonderful woman invited me in and I will be forever grateful. 3 tribes later and I love the support and encouragement that comes with it.
Hi, Sara – yes, you’re right. Unfortunately – I have no chance to join the tribes yet. I hope that someone would invite me in the tribes someday. Who knows? 🙂
I didn’t even know this book existed. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙂
Hi, Katie – Thank you for stopping by here 🙂
Only two helpful tips in the WHOLE book!? Thanks for the review, hopefully others are able to take more away from this book if they decide to read it.
Hi, Ronda – Sorry if I misunderstood you. I only picked two helpful tips I liked from this book. The book has a lot of information + resource including the interviews and other helpful tips about blogging + business. Thank you for stopping by.
Is it just for mom bloggers?
Although I’m not a parent blogger, I’m very interested in books and articles about blogging and blogging for a living. I think it would be an incredible privilege to be a stay at home mum while running my own profitable online business. One thing I think is great about this is that it gives you the motivation to go out and get it, which is absolutely essential. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the book!

I need some tips on selling myself. Sounds like an interesting book. Thanks for sharing.
Sounds like a good book, and I agree we get so caught up in our passions that we do forget about the kids sometimes in our busy-ness.
