The Blog Squad gets all mushy and maternal whenever we see one of our fledgling bloggers make good. So it was with great delight that we read an email from Pamela Stewart announcing the birth of her blog, www.escapefromcubiclenation.com, after studying our ebook the Build a Better Blog System.
She's created a great niche, and writes good stuff. Here's an excerpt from an article titled, Why Blogs are Good for Working Moms:
- You only need a few minutes to create a good post. When you are running as fast as you can behind your little one, the prospect of writing a long sales letter or ezine article can seem impossible. A blog post, on the other hand, can be easily formulated in your head while you are mixing rice cereal, putting in a load of laundry or changing a diaper. Then you can take 15-20 minutes to write it while your baby snoozes or occupies himself with an amusing toy.
- You can post from anywhere. As long as you have internet access, you can keep good posts coming as you travel, take a long weekend or visit friends.
- You can do it all yourself. If you want to make changes to a website, often you have to work with a designer. This can take time setting up conference calls or writing out instructions in an email. With a blog, you can do it all yourself, whenever you have the time. I tend to do most of the design work on my blog late at night when my son Joshua is sleeping.
We recommend a trip over to see and read Pamela's great posts, even if you aren't a working mom, it's good stuff.
