Living Life to the Fullest

Living a Mom's life to the Fullest will change it's home!

As I said in my about page, this blog started as a general blog and the Title just came from nowhere.  Now, since I decided to make it as a parenting/kids and home and living blog, I now want to change it's domain name. 

Two years ago, some online friends kept on telling me to have a dot com domain name.  They said that if I want to earn through blogging, be active and be serious about it then a dot com domain is highly recommended. 

Dot com domain looks more presentable to advertisers (especially the foreign ones).  I didn't followed their advise since at that time I am not that aware of the things I can earn thru blogging.  At that time, I only wanted to write about my thoughts and the things that were happening in my life.  Back then,  I was happy to have a monthly earnings of $5 to $10.

But now, I realize why not do both at the same time, and hit 2 birds with one stone - blog personal stuffs and earn at the same time.

Blogging involves a lot of expenses.  My sister in law had a blog post about it.  To summarize what she have mentioned on her blog, blogging expenses includes:
  1. Equipment Costs (that includes reliable desktop/laptop or android phone)
  2. Utility Costs (includes electricity and internet)
  3. Upgrade Costs (includes the service fee if you want to transfer domain)
  4. Domain and Hosting Costs
  5. SEO and Marketing Costs
  6. On attending events- transportation and food costs
  7. Cost of time and opportunity
You can read more about her Guide to Blogging Expenses here: http://teresay.com/a-guide-to-blogging-expenses/

See? There are lots of expenses in serious blogging. I would be hypocrite if I'll tell you that I don't want to earn here.  You know that I have a unique one of a kind child and supporting his needs, of course involves a lot of moolah.

This blog will be open for partnership. I will publish brands that I think is a good item to try, something that I already trust or a brand that I've known for a very long time. 

I am so excited about this blog's transformation.  And I know this is just the first step in it to soar new heights.
