My site is a bit different than the regular "mom" blogs. I feel totally discouraged. We have a mom section but it started out as celebrity entertainment and we just added the mom section.
We have the traffic but very little "klout".
Not sure what to do to raise the klout.
I feel that way all the time! I'm a food blogger and look at all the ones out there with gorgeous photography, beautiful styling and terrific original recipes - and amazing traffic and followers because of that.
I get very discouraged at times thinking "why doesn't my stuff look as good as theirs?" But after going to BlogHer Food this year, I realize it's because they spend a full day doing one post - writing the recipe, cooking (maybe multiple times, food styling, photographing, etc.
I don't have time to devote like they do because of work and family. And I'm OK with that. So many of the fab food bloggers are childless or do their blogs with their spouses or partners, and I can't devote my time the way they do. I've come to accept that being a "good enough" food blogger is what works for me.
Oh I hear you - I always wonder WHEN people have the time to do all the blog work they do. I only have 1 baby so I have time but I know that once I have more kids, my time will go to them more and more, and like you, I am okay with that!
My sister wants to do a food or cooking blog. I keep encouraging her but she is stuck thinking she "can't write" (not true) or that she doesn't have a good title for her blog. I hope she does it someday b/c she's a really good chef! :)
What is your blog so I can show her to encourage her to get started? :)
