This is the first interview of a series that I will be doing on Mother 2 Mother. First, my goal is to provide resources and information that will assist beginner bloggers and others who wish to grow their blog. Hopefully, the tips will help bloggers who are interested in turning their hobby into a professional site. My interviews will be with Professional Bloggers who have already achieved this goal, and are willing to share a few tips and tricks to help others succeed.
background I wanted to change for these reasons:
followed you on Facebook, and my favorite pictures where when you were on the red carpet and the one with you standing beside Cinderella’s ball gown.
Mother. It was one of the most amazing experiences that God could have ever
given me. It was a very diverse group of bloggers that attended. At the end of the day, Cinderella is
universal. J.C. Penny provided hair
stylists, a makeup artist and light hor d’oeuvres. They accessorized you; it was the first time

review site. If you have questions on whom you can charge or not change email me at me@MrsKathyKing.com. “
Facebook and Twitter?
was the number one social media when I first started, so that’s what I focused on building. Twitter was the second venue, so those were the two things I focused on building. Although in the end I should have focused on Twitter
instead of Facebook.”
- Facebook is about engagement. It’s about sharing other people’s information. Become more of a
curator. Share videos and people’s stuff. - Twitter is about engagement too. Talk to people and retweet with other bloggers.
- Pinterest is about being consistent. Pin popular pins. Make sure your pins are being shared
too. Invest in blogger social media groups. Groups that like to share each other pins and tweets. - Instagram is about sharing pictures.
- Growing your fan base isn’t about getting your fan base
right out the door. It takes time.
takes time. Know your worth and do not sell yourself short. If you want this to be your full time job, have the courage to go in there with a price because you never know if they’re willing to pay.”
