Interview with EMDIAU from “MomTools”

I blog because it helps to calm my nerves and fuel my creative energies in the form of words, social networking, and adult conversation.

I started blogging about 1 year ago and loved the outlet it allowed for me, as a sahm and aspiring wahm.

Crafts, Stress Relief, Legitimate Work from home Jobs, and articles having to do with all of these topics. I try to be as personal as I can in that blog post as well, so that readers can get a feel of who I am and what I am about.

Anything that has to do with mom: Mom Blogs, Coupon Blogs and work at home mom blogs.

Keep on writing and do what makes you whole and complete. Be mindful of not posting just articles and actually connecting with your readers, it means a great deal. I don’t like to visit blogs where there seems to be no interaction with me, like I am not a feeling breathing being and so I move on. I tend to stay on blogs where the writer actually has a conversation with their readers.

I LOVE feedback from something I have posted or otherwise because this gives me a chance to reply back to that comment, so that readers or whomever, know that I am not a machine and that there is an actual living being on the other end of the email;-)

To be totally honest, I don’t know. I have my blogs on my website and in my signature lines, as well as my business cards, but don’t know if my family reads them or not. What is a blessing is that I do have some growing subscribers, so that this shows me that what I have been doing is worthwhile and is definitely being read. So I am going to keep on doing it.

I visit most forums like the MomPack, HBWM, and Ning.com, which has a bunch of forums geared to whatever you do from home or any other passion you have.

I blog daily & weekly on Blogger at my blogs, which are my newsletter blog: http://emdiausmonthlynews.blogspot.com
My Mommy resource blog: http://emdiau-momtools.blogspot.com

My internet marketing blog(NEW-work in progress) at http://emdiau-imrs.blogspot.com

Real WAH Jobs blog: http://noscamzonejobs.blogspot.com

I wish I could spend all day reading interesting blogs, but most domestic engineers don’t have that type of time(at least I don’t). But if I could, it would probably be about 30min-1 hour/day.

I use most if not all the search engines to find interesting blogs, but most often than most I browse the blogger blogs, since I am on there most days.

I first heard of blogging about 5+ years ago.

I can’t remember, I do recall reading a very poignant blog about child abuse and domestic violence that really touched my heart.

My children inspire me to be a better mom and person overall.

Yes, my other website that I have is http://www.emdiau.com
-family website that incorporates all of what I do now, so every day there is always something for me to do or update, which is how I like it;-).

Blogging has impacted my life by having an outlet for me. Being a mom is one part of who I am, but I wear so many hats and blogging is just one of them.
In regards to being influenced by other blogs, it really depends on the content and what the blog is about but my passion is helping others and I hope that the this avenue and what I do here brings help, encouragement, a part-time/full time income and whatever else it may bring to my subscribers. That’s what it is all about.
