Meet a Families.com Blogger – Lisa Pietsch!

As the former Community Manager, Lisa was the first person I met when I became acquainted with Families.com, and has become a good friend. Lisa, how fun to interview you today! How long have you blogged for Families.com? I’ve been with Families.com since September 26th, 2005. I believe we had about twenty-six members back then. When management announced they would be hiring bloggers, I applied for the topics of Food, Weight Loss and Disney. When they launched the blogs here in early December 2005, they hired me for all three topics as well as the position of Community Manager. Eventually, … Continue reading →

What is the Page Rank from Google?

Posted on by

I have mentioned Page Ranking from Google before, and I wanted to take a moment to explain what it is, and what it means for your blog. The Page Rank (or PR) from Google is a scale from 0 to 10, 0 being a brand-new blog or website, and 10 being one of the most important websites on the Internet. Google assigns a Page Rank to a blog based on a multitude of factors, which I’ll get into in my next blog. Right now, let me explain how your Page Rank affects you. In a nutshell, the higher the PR … Continue reading →

The Downsides to Writing for a Company Blog, Part One

Posted on by

I just finished writing about the great benefits that come from blogging for a company but there are also some disadvantages that come from blogging for a company versus running a personal blog. Check out the following: *You have a set amount of blogs per month or per week or even per day that you have to write. Many company blogs say “X is the least amount of blogs you can write per month, and Y is the most.” You cannot just write when you’re “in the mood” – you have signed a contract to produce and you must produce … Continue reading →

If you missed it, here is Part One. Knowing how much you’ll make as a blogger is a great benefit of working for a company, but there are more. Check them out: *The Page Rank for a company blog is almost always higher than the Page Rank for a start-up personal blog. This is only true in the case of where the company blog is established – if the company blog is a start up also, then obviously the Page Rank will be nonexistent at first. If you don’t know what I mean by “Page Rank,” then check out the … Continue reading →

The Great Benefits of Blogging for a Company, Part One

I have talked about the great benefits of having a personal blog and now I wanted to talk about the upside to working for a company as a blogger. *You know how much you’re going to make with each blog entry. When you have a personal blog, you may only end up making pennies each month, literally. When I write a blog for Families, on the other hand, I know exactly how much I am going to make from each blog. I can calculate how much my paycheck will be before it is even cut and sent to me, and … Continue reading →

The Downsides to Having a Personal Blog

Posted on by

We just finished covering the great part about blogging for yourself, but there are also some really big downsides, such as: *There is no guaranteed income from it. In the first month of my personal blog, I made $0.02 from the ad income. When I told people I was “putting my two cents in” apparently I meant that literally. 😛 And since that ad revenue was coming from Google AdSense ads, and you have to reach a payout of $100 before you can receive a check for the money, that meant that at a rate of $0.02 per month, I … Continue reading →
