Dear DIY Mommy

From answering emails to scheduling content to recording videos... there are A LOT of things that content creators need to do. Here's how I manage to "do it all" (and I've put that in quotes because I DON'T do it all myself)! I hope this encourages you and helps you as your work on your content creation business.   Here's my virtual assistant's website: https://virtualadminpro.ca/   I'm taking a break for the summer with this podcast, but I'll be back in September. Talk to you then!   More content creation tips & tricks here: https://thesixfigurecreator.com

Since around 2017, I've been generating a full-time income through my blog, TheDIYMommy.com, which I founded back in 2009. It wasn't until I emerged from the newborn haze with my three daughters that I truly committed myself to the endeavor. With a focused effort, I began monetizing it through ads, gradually building a sustainable income stream. Just recently, I achieved a similar milestone with my second blog, yummywholefoodrecipes.com, which I launched just last year. In this post and podcast, I'm excited to share insights on how to make money blogging by joining an ad network. My aim is to motivate you to keep making valuable content, paving the way for your own journey toward financial independence through blogging!

f you're a social media influencer or content creator, you might have a strong or growing presence on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and/or TikTok. However, have you ever thought about how those platforms could be taken away from you at a moment's notice? Whether the platform has a glitch, shuts down your account, or you have a scammer take over your account... you're ultimately not in control of those platforms. You don't own them. But what CAN you own? A blog! I'm a huge fan of ensuring you have your own blog as a content creator so that you have a hub that YOU OWN. Here's why I've fallen back in love with my blog over the last couple of years, and how YOU can start one and fall in love with it too!
